q distance Of three miles The gold Is all
quartz gold. and the deposit is not lar from
the matrix where it was formed, as IL re-
talns the same rough appearance as when
II lett Its place of formation. The deposit
containing this quartz gold will average
four feet in thickness, and pays nearly
alike all the way down TO the bed rock.
This deposit is filed with quartz boulders;;
partly disintegrated, Talcouse slate, ana
large boulders of other rock, containing
from 10 to 20 per cent Of iron, and large
quantity Of heavy sulphurets OF iron, mixed
with sand and gravel. This gold Is 2Si
carets fiae, which is finer than California
gold.

worked There are spots in the " claim
that are exceptionally rich. one spot con-
tanning about ten square rods being point

No one need come here expecting to see
gold everyv here about, Gs gold hides ltseli

it. But those who desire TO investigate the

in the fall of 1861, the level was two feet
below the lowest mark Of 1852, and the lake
was contracted to about three-fourths OF ITS
area in that year But from the spring OF
1861 to 1868 there went on steady rise
the lake extended to once and half its area
in 1861. and its surface stood twelve ieet
above the earlier level. Since that time the
rise and fall have been about equal, the ten
dency being on the whole to gain. the hue
tuations not exceeding two feet. As to the
prospect for the future. it is stated that the
humidity Of the atmosphere annually In
creases as the area of cultivation becomes
greater, and, as a consequence. the evapor-
alton becomes less. On the other hand, the
mountain streams are steadily charging;
Thousands of acres of farming. meadow ana
pasture lands have been submerged along
the eastern and northern shores OF the lake,
and many square miles. Of valuable lands
still occupied by the farmers will be com
pletely inundated should the water rise but
a few inches above the level Of the past i've
years, unless protected by levees. a monu-
ment has been recently placed near the
shore of the lake TO indicate the fluctuations
of its level. This will be watched with great
interest for the next few years.
