county, and on the whole the accounts Of
the successful searches of this mineral
a a satisfactory. Glowing accounts have
oeen received from Inyo county Of the
yield OF the silver mines recently dis.
covered there, at which there are now
zoo miners at work, and the quicksilver
yleld IN Sonoma is constantly increasing
!nere are glowing histories OF the recent
doings OF the Oakland, Missouri and
Flagstaff mines, and there has been a
new discovery OF rich ore reported from
Mark West creek, twelve miles from
santa Rosa. As the profitable working
OF the precious metals depends almost
entirely upon the yield of quicksilver, the
Importance of the new discoveries and of
the development of the old ones cannot
be overrated, especially in the face of the
decreased production in Europe, the fail
ing supply from the New Almaden mines
and the increased demands upon the re-

The Crescent City Courier, of Aug
22d, is informed that Robert Duff, VIM
Hanna, and the balance OF the party who
are connected with the mining enter
prise at Stone Lagoon, have abandoned
the plan OF pumping up sand from the
bottom OF the lake, as that on the shore
is rich enough for working, and there il
a large body of it. Henry Orman, at thu
Lower Gold Bluffs. is putting through
immense quantities of very rich sand al
that claim. Willis Pencil, who came
up this week, says that much of the sane
was not black, but absolutely yellow
with the auriferous metal.
Col. A. c. ELLIS, who has just re
turned from a tour Of the eastern coun
ties, informs rs that the town OF Piocb,

that the hotels and saloons are all sole
