Mining in Josephino County.
Tho mines of Josephine hold out well- Dur
ing the last Fall and Winter, nnd this Spring,
tho amount of dust taken from them, notwith
standing tho extreme dryness of the season In
that section of tho country, will compare very
favorably with the produce of other regions
for this year, and with the amount produced
by Josephine la any one of tho thrco or four
preceding years.
At Sailor Diggings they hao an abundance
of water nearly tho whole yrnr around nnd
tho fold Is so evenly scattered through tho
beds and sides of the gulches, that mining can
cot there bo ranked among tho precarious
branches of business. Indeed, mining In this
locality lacks little of being ns sure and sufe
o Investment of labor and capital ns Is farm
log lo the Mississippi valley.
The mines on Williams' Creek and Its
gulches, by tho aid of tha ditches nnd the

blgh degree, tho desirable quality of certainty

Antelope Spring.
Whilst tho press and popular mind of Cali
fornia are takeu up with news concerning tha
Washoe tnlnw, nnd whilst tho popular talk In
this region I' engrossed with speculations m
to tho richness of the various gold quaitz
talcs of Southern Oregon, some persons of
this vicinity havo quietly undertaken enter
prises, which they arc confident will result In
tho discovery of greater mineral wraith than
any which has yd been revealed on this coast.
In order to make such discoveries In tho region
of tho Humboldt River, or rather of testing
certain reports that, such discoveries had been
made, thrco distinct expeditious havo kin
fitted out this Spring ; but so quietly have
the parties interested made their preparations,
that wo think no tmutlon has been inado of
them "by nny newspaper.
Soon ufter the discovery of the Ish lead last
winter, a couple f persons In whom their ac
quaintances confide os bring truthful men, raid
they "knew whero thero was any amount of
such stuff." Thce two men t rosso I the plains
last summer, mil say that a few mites this
sldo of Antelope Springs they saw that the
emigrant road mado a considerable curto in
passing around to Itabblt I lo'c Springs, nud
that they could savo somewhat In distance
and vary tho monotony of their tlresomo day's
Journey by taking a straight course, which
would lead them over nn Intervening hill or
spur of tho immutulti. In doing this they
stopped to rest on a rocky ledgo near the sum
mlt of tho hill ; nnd while there they noticed
that several of tho detached picas of the
rock wcro thickly tet with littla yellowish
speck;, and that the rock In tho lodge was of
tho samo character. One of them thought It
ti bo mica or something of that kind j but
upon examination they found that the metal
pervaded the rocl: as If In threads nnd that it
was malleable in a high degree. When they
reached tliclrcamp that night at Rabbit Hole
Springs, they tried to pcrsuado their comrades
to remain for a few days mid prospect. Hut
their proristonj wcro so nearly cxhati.tcd that
t was not deemed prudent to stop cun for
uno day.
Relying on then statements, a company of
seventeen, Including ono or both of tho r
sons who think they havo mado this discovery,
started from tho head of this valley the former
part of last week. Tho company goes under
tho conduct of Mr. Myrr J mid Is provided
with ull things necessary for six months' pros
pecting and mining la tho mountains.
Several days after tin departure of Mr.
Mycr's company, unother company, (with
whom wai Mr. Tlmnm, of this county,)
left Cottonwood, In Siskiyou county j nnd on
last Saturday n third company from Vamhill
county, pasted through town having tho samo
destination lu view. In this kit company
Is Mr. C'nl. Wagoner.
