‘Grass Valley Union, commenting upon
‘an article recently published in the
TRANSCRIPT, in which we endeavored.
to show that the decline of mining coun‘ties was not owing so much to the fail
ure of mines as to the want of energy
and enterprise in working, says: “The
Nevada Transcript, which is always
able when it turns itself loose on the
su
‘cultivating the soil, raising fruits and
building manufactories,” as a means to
secure prosperity. The Union indorses
the proposition, but argues that there
must first be a demand for the products,
and that this will exist as towns are
built up along the Bay, and the way to
markets is opened by the trans-conti+
“mental tailroad. The Union either misapprekends our position, or else we did
“not clearly express our views. We do
not pretend to argue that agriculture
and manufactures will enrich our mining counties unless a market can be
~ found, but we contend that the market
‘already exists, and that in the future
the demand for all products‘ will be in‘creased. Our proposition is that min.
ing countries never become wealthy and
Prosperous unless the population con‘sists of producers as well as consumers:
and that the first step toward prosperity
in the mines is to produce such articles
as will supply the home demand, and us
this is done wealth will accumulate and
the locality become more prosperous.
Take the history. of Nevada county as
aninstance. But a few yearsago flour,
bacon, and all the products of the soil
were shipped from below, and we sent
the money to pay for them, giving the
producer his profit, the seller his, and
also paying freight. Now we have a
flour mill in the county, and besides the
., . cratic caucus took four ballots, having
employment of a number of hands it just one dozen candidates on the start.
furnishes enough flour for home consumption, and the money which is paid
for it is retained in our midst. Wheat
is now produced to some extent, and
the money for this is also retained, and
helps to swell our wealth. We have
several establishments for curing bacon
j ee
and making lard—all these not only in. . 2°°7"™@"
crease the amount of property but rethey are all doing well. Take among
the vegetable products, potatoes, Large
quantities of these are brought from
below, and yet the soil of Nevada coun.
ty produces potatoes equal to any raised in the world, and they can be raised
as cheaply here as in the valleys. The
hope of prosperity in the future is in
the products of the soil and the yield of
our manufactories—the demand for ar:
ticles of home production continually
increasing as the State becomes more
prosperous. Tbe mines are by no means
exhausted, and there is no réason that
they should not pay as largely fifty
years hence as theydo now. The great
want in this branch of industry is intelligent, industrious laborérs. Men who
understand their business and are not
afraid of work. We speak within
bounds when we say that in 1850 more
quarts about Nevada than any year
since, and yet none was found, but the
shafts sunk around, upon the top of Su.
gar Soaf, andin other unlikely places
remain to this day, to show the reason,
Miners knew nothing of the business,
to materially assist the miner, but he
has beeome educated by experience, and
is now qualified for the work. Such
men will not fail to redeem the mining
counties from decay, and develop resources which will bring in capital to
their aid, and wealth and rosperity
will, without the least dou t, crown
their efforts. :
THE LEGISLATURE.—But little was
done on Wednesday of general interest.
During a debate on the “propriety of
printing the public documents in Span.

continues to increase. The additional
Yield daring the last season has been
80 large from quartz,that very little falling off occurred in the receipts of gold
by our bankers after the mining season
was over for claims that are only worked daring the Winter and Spring. —
Seh now is the prosperity of our miners, that we look fora steady increase
in the yield of gold for several years to
come,
Tue Reostry LAw—Two propositions have already been made in the
Legislature in reference to the Registry
Law. One-is to repeal, and the other to
amend—both come from Democrats.
That the law needs modification and that
some changes will be made, we do not
doubt, but as Haight is in favor of a
Registry Law, as well as many other
Democrats, we do not believe that the
Law will be repealed. The theory is
correct and we only need some simple
and cheap way of doing the work to
satisfy good men of aliparties,
THE SENATORIAL MATTER.—The
contest for Senator promises to be fively. On Wednesday night the DemoOn the first vote, Hoge, Casserly, Wallace and Rose had nine votes each, and
on the last, Hoge had 11, Wallace 15,
Casserly 8, Rose 9 and Temple 9. Wallace had 12 votes on the secoud ballot

be able to walk about the house.
EUREKA.—Black & “Young cleaned
