QUARTz.-A. r. Earl, of Douglas City,
brought up cigar box full of pieces of
quartz, in many of which gold cen be seen
without the aid of glass. TWAS brought
down to Indian Creek by Byron, who OBJ
tanned it on the head waters of Indian
Creek, near the base of Bullychoop. "
The pieces shown us are float rock, no
regular lead having been found, in fact
the snow is yet so deep as to preclude
prospecting for one. Earl tells us that
Byron brought down sack full of the
float quartz which he pounded in mortar
and panned out 81 25. This would indi-
cate the existence of ledge of extraordi-
nary richness near the locality we have
named. The lead will be apt to be search
cd for this Summer.

is better one of its class than generally

msnded for the absence of any of the vuI-
garisms which negro minstres are some

for wit. The singing Of Miss Louise Ir-
wing is most attractive feature of the

being all busy, but we think no one who

total population Of 26. 100000 1 ilrese are
not all. Twelve other districts. 14.000.-

scribcd as almost entirely without food and
