ete The Daily Transcript THE ORIENTAL MINE. Major Stenhouse, a mining expert, made a recent Visit to the Oriental ‘Sundey Septem ber “29, 1878.' THE THIRST FOR GOLD. The ambition of almost every man in the community is ‘to become a millionaire in a@ very short time. The road to great wealth does not * wppear to be a difficule one, At all _aveuts ithdbeen-traveled successfully by many who were never conspfenous for abilityor acumen, The fluctuations in mining stocks are violent beyond — example, Properties are advanced in selling value froni a few holders, and while there sent a communication te, the San Francisco Post. His report is very favorable. tracts which will oe of considerable interest to people in this locality :— ‘Of the mibe proper, I-can only give the statement of the superintefident as he tells it tome. There isa tune nel 600 feet long, beginning aboat 20 feet above the bottom of the ravine, and about 250 feet below the hoisting works. ‘The tapnel strikes the vein about. the 200-fvot level ; thousahd toas many million iu—ae few weeks. In such a condition of [toings there is nothing“ apparently to do but to follow * the advice of Adam Smith: “Buy in the cheap market and sellin the deat.’’. . Bat while the first operation is not hard, the second is the rab., With the diamond drillin the hands of he managers there is not much show for the outsider, ays Butfor all that, men rush! into these speculations with a .fataiy _that is almost beyond conception Money is flang about witb a wildness that is suggestive of nothing so much a horse to be bought all the sugacity of which an individual is possessed is conspicuons victim of the marktt Homestexds, lands, It would be fortunate, perhaps, if the mad whirl thee terminated. But. after the property: painfully acquired, too frequently go honor, fidelity and all that inen prize. It is clear enough that in such rough gambling men become very easily entangled, A drop ina favorite stock is often sufficient to put a load on one's back that will cause him. to-totter for the rest-of -his—ife, For the most part he never: sees or. Fanéles the property which has . brought rain on lim. The persous with whom he deals not unfrequently speculate on him. There may be * no reality in the transaction, bat a sum jn-a ledger, For all that a mountain of debt can be rolled up -ngninst the unlucky dabblerin stacks, Men lose their freedom ‘by the unexpected turns which are so’ common in the market. They have been hooked and caught by lines thrown out by parties in the backzround, Dishonor, if not death, is sure to follow, To this cause alone, the Bulletin says, is to be attributed the fact that so many who otberwise might have been useful citizens and ornaments of society fill aioftbes” graves. The prisons open their doors for otliers of possibly a more heroic ‘stamp. -It seems never to be reflected that the millions for which such tremendous sacrifices aro made rarely briog bap°piness with them, The man-iv moderate life putting foith reasenable efforts to secure the future, cau vat as good a beefsteak and reposé on as good a bed as the arch’ millionaire, Ho cau/tike the suvsbiue when he please and smile at the in— sine struggle which he sees raging around-him, while the man suddenly enriched hast retire to. bis inner office to escape the multitude who are grabbing for him, He is hunted iuto the corner whece he has erected his last barricade, It is true, he has the power of saying yes or no to many anedger applicant, but dves that compensate for the isolation into which he is forced? No one in his sense will maintain that this is a position for which everythipg should~ be lLazarded—the earning of honest industry, hovor, and oveu life itself. But yet it is done every day. ‘The circus wagon set ap asa family coach; t e glaring redwood palace; the loudness which is attainable; the felicity of beine the prey of foieign travel should be decided upon; the pliudits of foreign flunkeys inre too many to their own nudoiny. For ull that a day well spent, a woderote und rational amusement “eujoyed; a zood book wel} divested; a new idea or an old cuein w new garh,, yield “ten times more genuine patisfaction. The milionaire is tuo often thes ).ve of bis minions, So, far us Peal bappiness is coucerned: tlitvy tara to aere dross.

They “ate but sparingly of it, displaying the fact that their bunger was assumed. ‘Then they evineeda disposition to furce their way into the house through-the open door jiist outside of which-they stood They became more insolent each moment; but the lady and her servant put on a bold tront, which succeeded in” momentarily*checking them.— Just as affairs seemed about comipg to aclimax, Mr, Graham came along the road .with A loaded.gin on his shoulder.-Mrs. Dann called to him, This bad the effeet of intimidating the’ rascally thieves, and theysturned around and leit the. premises, There is hardly any doubt but they intended to make a raid Now for the bendtit of other tramps,.we will state that Mr. Dunn bas arrangonthe valuables in the house. aoe Sa tai see Bat i it sug@ested that this.rich ore was TS ‘ sition, in ; ae : ce a a a taken from a “pocket,” aod not from us the har ecuinae ; ee per Mi ktm hag eae a true fissure-vein,The great richi raulitions of a life-time are staked Pao ts Se ee . 4. . ness of What was éxhibited doubtless upon *‘poipts.”” Next to the indi-. — eal ‘ eu ~4e. 4. . . suggested the thought; but no one vidual who is\Jeoking out for , diviils fe aes. : — = ——_ there speake-ot it as being ‘a pocket— dends and permanent investment, . ~ : idicul ‘ Ie . pa ye es tis too ridiculous.
