But to that vast portion of the State embracing the minerallands, to the State vf Nevada, and the out-lying mining territories, the smooth working of the mining system, the giatare of the tenure by whicli the miner shall -holdhis elaims, and the legislation of the government upon this subject, are, of su~ plies. igs importance. If the: mines are taxed, shall that taxation be by assessment on gross or het proceeds, ‘shallit be by license or excise, andwhat protection in his claim will the government guaranteé tothe miner in return for the revenue? " If tlie mines are sold, what. provision shall be made to protect. present occupants who have invested: their means in developing elaims, tunniog tunnels, sinking shafts, erecting flooms, &c., from competion with those who have their capital in hand, and Who would be seeking investments? Is the government to regard only its own interests-in getting as much money-as possible from the mers, or is it to deal intelligently and justly with those whose skill, money and labor have discovered and given a prac: tical value to its mines? What provision, in case of sale in fee of mining lands shall be made for the right of way of the vast net work oftditehes.and canals, on which willions. of money have been expended, which are necessary to the working of the mines, but which may be cut off by the sale of any The gov. : portion of the lands they cross? — INES.—The driving wheel ot the business ot.this State at present, and for many years to come, is the mineral , ex‘tracted from its soil,.and from that of the other Padific States. No matter how opulant may be the grain fields of the valleys, unless the: miners.’ prosper the ranchero can . } ‘The eneens may sit all day sentadioiadlog . ten by one of our old . who went to na las tet was written at. ag " gives any. thing but a glowing account of that section. He says in the letter that. he-now thinks that Plumas county is a pretty good place to live in, and that Arizona is the most miserable and God-forsaken country he ever saw ot expects tosee. The following passage occurs in the letter: “I have had a few shakes.of what they call chills and fever, but I think:they are nothing more than the shudders at the thought of being in sucha place.—Marysville Express. © _ ‘Arizona seemsto-—be—the subject of the strangest contradictions. We have convers‘ed with niany persous who have visited that f. country, says the Stockton Independent, and while some of them give precisely such accounts as the above, others speak of Arizona as an-eartbly paradise in soil. and climate. Such is the opinion of Ross. Browne, Col ; Poston and Mr. Mowry. The weight of tess timony so far as numbers go,is on the other side, simply beeause ninety-nine out of each hundred Californians who have visited Arizona have traveled the reuté taken -by the old overland mail, which is a belt of sandy desertand rocky sterility, infested by Apaches aud containing two or three miserable towns “supported by the travet of that road and inhabited by wretched Mexicans and outlaws from the United States, But south of Tubac and Tucson, farther toward the sea, is an entirely different sort of country, rich in soil, clad with verdure in the spring, abounding in fine timber, witha glorious élimate and all the primitive elements inviting to settlement in a new country. Inearly days California was the ‘subject of the same contradictory statement.. One man who entered the country by way of-Carson Valley in the month of September, and passing through to Sacramento only te sicken and weaken in resolution at the dreary prospect, of burning sun and parched up ground, would return to the Atlantic States by sea and give a most doleful account of California. Wigh him it was nothing buta desert. Others who had afterward visited the valleys ia February or April, saw quite a different sert: of California and reported accordingly ; and so we reckon it is with Arizona.

It will not wantonly destroy millions of property, or for selfish purposes take out of the hands of one set of men property ‘which they have created to enrich anotherthat it may have part of the gain.

There are some ten cases of this kind to be disposed of, and it is likely the costs will amount to as much during the present term as in thé last quarter. -The county jail is now pretty well filled, and there is every prospect that it will continue so for some time to come. ino adequate guard for thé miner, and none try, but especially qualified by business and experience to dval with this great question of ‘legislation. concerning the wings.
