ath ft >) : 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. eS AnourT half a mile south of Summit City there are an immense oumber of large grandite rocks completely covered with hieroglyphics. ‘These are deeply cut into the solid rock, as though done with a chisel. and undoubtedly the work of the aborigines of this country. SEVERAL years since the Rev. Mr. Stump of the M. E.

THE peach was originally a peisonous almond, Ita fleahy parts wete used to ptison arrows, and the fruit waa for this purpose introduced into Persia. The transplantation and cultivation; however, not vnly removed its pejsonous qualities, but produced the delicious fruit we now enjey. Tne amount disbursed on this Coast dur. ing the past ninejmonths, ending September of the Government for the same périod, from all sources, amounted to $8.000,000.
