SRN se Sam PLR ie Bh: RAS NITE quire the employment of hands, and ___work was expended in prospecting for _ The theories of geologists have failed 3 4 es 1 be 7 j _ FRIDAY, BEc. ase. i867. ——— ‘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. ish, it transpired that the State ‘freas— urer elect, does not understand the Engof “political economy, suggests and gained oné each ballot to the ‘adj on juries, be called the State Capital Reporter. i Of these, 19,000 are Chinese. mines yielded this year, from 80 far, very mild weather. rich leads and the yield from this ‘source 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 EASTERN ITEMs.—The Philadelphia It is reported that Mississippi and South Carolina have voted in favor of Conventions, The Tennessee House of Representatives has passed an Act disqualifying negroes from holding office or setting Masonic ELECTION.—The Masons of chosen: W.

Already we have had 25 inches of rain and very little snow im any part of the county. The hydranlic mines have an abundance of water and there is no interruption of work on ectount of cold weather. The cold has such an effect upon quicksilver that it does aot readily catch gold, and for this reason many of the miners in’ localities where the weather is extremely cold, suspend work, We have had, Even in‘ the'voldest localities mining has been done under most favofable ‘circumstah— ces; and the large amount of free water has enabled miners to work claims which do not yield very ‘large returns, Quartz prospecting continues todevelop Union League has nominated General .
