From Shady Quits in Warren to llilliardston in Nash, including a width I about aix miles, there are very many locations where mining, property directed wmild pay handsomely. Tbe great drawback with u is that we hive no cduce'ed, practical miner. We hive heretofore relied ton much upon native mining knowledge and skill to succeed. Ia the lauyuage of a well pasted California miner, our mines arc too ear the great money centre! to attract, and to create the gold speculating lever; but believe me, the day is not lar distant whin millions, with improved in chine'y, will ie dug out of ttie hills and branches near Usn9ms Bridge.
