FRIDAY, MARCH 29,1867.
“AK Minto Bureav.—The Commissionerof Revenue estimates that there are :
158,157 persons engaged:in mining. Full
istatistics would probably show a third]
‘more than this. J adging a ‘the popState, it is ne to estimate ‘that there are
from five to six persons dependent directly
‘upon every miner, and when we come to
look at the large number of towns, cities
. and industries sustained by this great im
terest, its importance is apparent. The
‘mining interest, though extended, is not
so general as the mechanical, commercial
‘and agricultural industries of the country.
Each of these departments are represented‘in Congress by men of ability, thoroughly
conversant with their necessities, and no
question can arise in regard to them that
is not thoroughly understood. Not so
with mining—and_ especially -with gold
“the first rich mines-of gold were discover-,
ed, and the Jaws governing the deposit . .
and yield, the manner of working, and
the necessities of the large class of people
dependent upon the minesare,as yet,little
understood. “The other great industries of
the country have their departments at
Washington, from which monthly or an.
nual reports are issued, setting forth their
needs and tepresenting their successes.—
The Department of Agriculture in the
‘monthly and annual reports issued, furnishes a fund of information and instriction to farmers, graziers and horticulturaljats, that is of inestimable value, besides
biving such data to legislators as enables
‘them to act intelligently for the general
interest. The greatest ignorance of the
extent and wants of the mining interest
has prevailed at Washington, and California has been unfortunate in never hav”
‘ing hada representative who could dispel it, Cole, it is true, proposed a Mining
Bureau, but it was defeated, and Conness
has worked steadily against it. “Nearly
every journal in the mining Jocalities has
favored the project, because they believe
the dame good effects which resulted from
the establishment of a Bureau of Agrisulture, will follow to the mining interest*
The appointment of a Commissioner such
‘a8 Ross Browne, who writes his reports
without looking at the mines, will do about
‘as much good as would a letter from “Josh
Billings” on Astronomy,.so far as any prac.
tical information is concerned. His accounts of the mines at Washoe and Reese
River, are considered by all miners of those
. localities as huge burlesques. Let a Mining Bureau be established and placed in
charge of competent men and a great
good will be done for the development of
the mineral wealth of the country.
THE SACRAMENTO BEE. —This onceiteals
evening papér proposes, on the first of
May, in addition to the daily; to issue a
semi-weekly edition. The Bee always
contains a large amount of excellent read.
ing matter for the family circle, its selections being made with great taste and its
stories being of the most interesting character. In its columns is never found that
trashy stuff so extensively published by
Journals which claim a reputation as literary papers. We predict that the semiweekly Bee will become very popular,
A Curious, RuMor.—The Denver News
Bays that there is a curious rumor ftom
the mountains, by a gentleman just down,
‘that a remarkable pocket or cavit has
‘been found in one of the mines near, Gregory Point, the walls of which are absolutely lined or plated with gold. Its inform.
“ght had seen a small specimen from it,
‘which was valued at $200. The discover.

NEW CONCERN (JOHNSTON?s
MARKET’)
Has recently been opened and the prices charged
-by that Market average 5 cents a lb,
——_+ less than the public have had to pay
for their Meats during the past winter and
up to the present time. _
It can be seen by a very simple ¢alculation that
this NEW MARKET may be made the means of
lessening the cost of living very-much, and at the
same time of improving the quality of Meats an¢
‘thus seciring a constant supply of a Taxury, the
absence of which is sometin és seriously and vex.
atiously experienced under the reign of monopoly, viz:—Fat Meats.
