Gold and silver Quartz Ina Western New
York.
CHICAGO February 24th.-A special to
the Times relates the discovery of gold and
silver quartz ledge in the town Of Hamburg,
Zine miles from Buffalo, which appears well
authenticated. The names of several promi-
nent men of that section are given in con-
nection with it. The ledge was discovered
last August, and pieces of rock subjected to
careful assay, which yielded 81, $50 to the
| ton. Mining operations were commenced
last October under the superintendent of
Charles e. Reeves, formerly of California,
| and an excavation revealed sunken ledge
with an overhanging wall OIL one side. The
latest assay from the lowest depth excavated
shows Sc, 929 80 to the ton. A company has
been organized, embracing Theodore S. and
James Hustled John Ansleths, of the firm of
S. o. Barnum, Son & Co., Charles A. Rupp,
a prominent builder, and L. A. Banks. The
most surprising and startling thing connected
with the whole matter is that gold and silver
bearing quartz should make its appearance
where the geological condition of the county
would seem to contradict the possibility of
its existence
