: THe Sgainé Is TEREST. Sr retin since
"the discovery “Of gord have the mines of the . :
Pacific coast demanded so much al tion
from” people ‘at howe dnd abroad ‘as iow.—
‘or many years the mines were worked
“without regard to system or economy, and
men bécauie wealthy or failed as chance .
“Would have it. From the manner in winch
-mines were worked the belief became geo‘eral that the deposits of wealth on this
; Coast conformed to uo natural law, and-even“the scientific men who came from the East
acknowledged. their ipability. to fathom the
o~mysterious laws by which mines were
governed. Gevlogy was baffled. Cay
sts looked upon the mines aa the most
certain stivestment, and money for
development could not be obtained. J
men of theans who had made fortunes.
mining, sought to invest in San Fa
gnd every cent taken out of the
“gent off to add wealth to he tion which
4id_not depend on the chatices @F the miner
‘for development. ‘But & sid
ments the prospector tviled'on, and when
he succeeded in proving that his claim was
och, his ‘neighbors called him a “lucky
fellow,” and capitalists were ready to come
in and take the chances off his bands. His
*igduatry and labar.in poverty and amid discouragement for the development of the
~“" wealth were all forgotten, and fortune ind of being looked upon as the result of
labor, was viewed as a freak of luck.
‘After a while, when prospecting began to
_ be prosecuted with more vigor, and experience -was united-with industry, godd leads
were more frequently discovered, and capi_ taliste began to look upon wines with more
favor. Eastern Companies sent out agents
and it was found that men whothorvughly
understood the business of mining in other
countries made good miners in California.—
The number of quartz mines now successfully worked in this State, as well as the
large number being developed, the large
majority of them whea properly worked
‘paying well, proves that it was not nature
but man that was at fault in the early days
“of mining.
‘The mineral‘wealth of this Coast is fast
becoming one of the most important of the i
‘pation. Congress at the last session discussed the propriety of creating a—mining
“equal importance with agriculture, by the
ishing a anne
organized for the purpose of hastoning the development of the mines. It is
called the Mining Bureau Association, and
ite object is stated as follows : ¥!
Phe object of this Association is to attract the attention of capitalists, at home
and abroad, to the great inducements ‘olter10 by the gold, silver, -copper, coal, ‘and gil
of this State, to capital and enteris end the Bureau will collate
in operation ; the extent‘and’
of ledges not yet fairly developed,
and the extent and location of promising
that-have never ye been prospected.
This information will be recorded in full at
4 0 co of the Bureau, and abstracts thereurnished from time to time for publica“tion in the papers of the city and State.—
By the efforts of the Bureau the. public
abroad, as well as at home, will be made to
‘enderdiand that “California poserses more
extensive as well as richer mines than any
other country in the world, and thus the ill
effects on the State, of the stock-jobbing op perations of the Buard of Brokers, will be
neutralized, if not wholly overcome.”
_ The mineral interests of California will,
by such ageneies, soon become fully kaewn
and the prosperty of the State greatly advaneed. A Miners’ Convention would also be
the means of making the great wealth of the
‘State better understood, as well as making
those engaged in the business better qualified for the work.
