Will you please give the facts.” The Récofd’s answer is this: Very frequently mining for gold and silver has been regarded as no better than a lottery. But, at the bottom, mining is little, if ahy, more a cast of the net for fortune, thanis the industry of farming, in which so much dépends on a _favorable season for sowing or planting, for theseveral stages f growth toripeness, and forharvesting and garnering, not to speak of the industrial skill and care brought to bear in cultivaAnd not alone on this must tion. the profit of farmers depend. Largely, itis affected by the extent of demand, which in turn, has many elements of chance; for the short crops in one quarter of the world puts money in thé purse of the farmer in another quarter very often, and vice versa. Mining is an industry which calls for the highest order of business conduct at every stage; for a peculiar, special intelligence coupled with accurate knowledge of several sciences, and industrial training also. Successful mining enterprises, however, on occasion have been carried on by sheer good luck, precisely as greatfortunes have been made~in other businesses than mining, by downright accident or from no special good management or intelligent use of resources, Compared with money invested in the building and operating of railroads, that employed in miuing enterprises has not been relatively unfruitful, In the years 1876 and 1877 as much, at least, as $1,421,216,087 which had been spent in constructing and equipping about 22,350 miles of railroads inthis country, was irretrievably lost to those who had thus invested it, by the sale under foreclosure of the roads in question, which fell into possession of the bondholders which at present even here in the prosperous Eastern States, those of New England, for example, which have costin the aggregate about $315,000,000, dividends have not been paid upon 59 per cent. of that amount. We shall return to the subject assured that the business of mining, when properly conducted, has -no cause to shrink from comparison of results with those of any other industy. THE LATEST NEWS.

The car was quarantined and the citizens of Boca were much excited and held a town meeting to consider means to prevent the dread disease reaching their town. The citizens appointed two guards to continually watch the car, to see that no passenger left it. These guards were armed with repeating rifles, and remained -at a respectable ~ distance from the car, with their pieces loaded ready for action. For three days the unfortunate passengers remained in_this condition. On the second day the small supply of water left in the car was exhausted. The provisions were very scarce, and the terrors of hunger and thirst stared the immigrants in the face, When night came some of the men said that they were going to get water, and would risk their chances of RECEIVING A BULLET From a rifle of one of the alert guards. Under cover of the darkness they left the car, andin searching about found some patches of snow. A quantity of snow was gathered in buckets, taken to the car, and melted. But no provisions could be obtamed. The terrible measles, the dread of the people of Boca had spread somewhat among the other passengers, Among the passengers were Mr, and Mrs. Langford and their two little ‘children. the children must have contracted measles on the car, and also caught cold from exposure and _privation, and, therefore, the tion did not appear until after they arrived in San Francisco. The little children were taken to Berkeley, at the residence of a relative of the parents. It was noticed that the children coughed violently,and did not seem in good health. A physician was summoned and he pronounced the disease black measles. Pneumonia also attacked the children, and in spite of the skilful medical care, and tender nursing, both died, and were buried in Berkeley. ah ta Tiss Letter from Nevada County.
