THE VANCOUVER MINES.
We copy from the Vancouver Rtguter 'of
the 31st inst., the following lengthy but ap
parently interesting account of the recent
quartz discoveries in that vicinity :
"For several weeks there have been ru
mors, more- or less exciting, that certain
parties had discovered both placer and
quartz mines a few mill's from this city. As
much as has been certainly known, from
time to time, we have fraukly stated. . De.
siring to avoid creating Any unnecessary ex
citement, we bare given no currency to mere
rumor, and never having seen for ourselves,
we could cny but little. The gentlemen who
have been engaged in prospecting kept .their
own counsel, ns they tmd a perfect r'ght to
do, and besides they themselves probably
did not feel fully satisfied that they had
fonnd anything of much importance. At all.
events, if they did, they did'not communi
cate their impressions to ns.' Ii was only
within a week that we bare had any very
definite information in regard to the nature
and extent of the discov- rice, and that infor
mation we obtained by a personal visit to
the localities whero gold bearing qunnz, it
was supposed had been discovered. For the
benefit of our readers, especially those at a
distance, we propose to give some of our
impressions.
The locality supposed to contain gold is
about sixteen miles north east of Vancouver.
The best way to reach it is to take the upper
Mill Plain road, and then from Mill Plain the
road that cro-ses the Lackamas creek near
Mr. Sb tibs. About a mile after crossing tho
creek the road branches again, the left hand
fork leading in the right direction. After ft
few rods the road emerges from a belt of
green timber into on upland opening having
a slight nortb eastern descent toward the
south branch of the Lackamas. Laying di
rectly opposite, and nci oss" that Stream is the
south declension of a ridgo of mountain
country; upon which the timber has all been
killed by fi e for several years. Cu tu g
down that southern slope aro several small
branches of Lackamas, dividing the slope of
the raountaiu into ridges and ravines. Ex
tending fiora we.-t to cuBt, nearly, along the
southern slope of the mountains, the three
or four ledges of quartz rock cut across the
ravines, cropping out very clearly and dis
tinctly ut muny pluccs, but more especially
at the ravines.
The number of ledges thus far discovered
is three or four. The one hearesttbe foot of
the mountain, which bns b"en named '! Co
lumbia Ledge,'' where fi crosses a ravine is,
perhaps, fifty feet in width, and can be
traced in a wesieily direction for a half or
three-fourths of a mile, ti ougb enstwly it
soon goes under, the surface of the ridge
The rock from this ledge is very red, and of
a most singular appearance, though giving
many indications of being gold bearing.
Next above that, and probably forty or
fifty tods distant, another led! crosses the
ravine, running parallel to the first, seven
or eight feet in width, of a grayish color,
A single word in reference to the course
of the lleyiiter in regard to the discoveries.
Wo have always piven what we knw to be
fact', and have not felt it right to give cur
rency to mere rumor. What we have stated
above is from personal observation on the
ground. To say now that we are certain
that rich and extensive mines hnve(been
Btruck, would be saying what we are not
confident of. When we are we shall say so.
We do say, however, that enough is known
to encourage prospector., and give hope
that the future of this place, and of this
county is assured. Enough is certainly
known io give a feeling of confidence in all
business transactions bere, real estate bag
risen, and everything betokens an advancing
prosperity. !
