who has sunk a shaft 25 feet deep on it. The quartz ranges from 1 inch 
thick down to \ inch; it carries a little gold. Another, having a N.E. 
strike, and dip of 50 deg. to N.W., is being worked on the top of the rise. 
A shaft, 60 feet deep, was formerly sunk on the line of this quartz vein. 
All the appearances indicate that profitable mining was carried on 
here, and that a very considerable quantity of material was crushed. The 
rocks are of most favorable appearance, and it is probable that other 
auriferous veins would be discovered if systematically searched for. The 
locality is well worth the attention of prospectors. At present, there are 
but two or three men engaged in mining operations.
