We have shundaat evidence that no class journal has ever heen estahlished which, in su short a time, hns hecome so highly appreciated by those for whom its publication has heen especially designed, or hy the thinking and intelligent portion of the community generally. Woe may be pardoned for referring, with some degree of pride, to what the present proprietors have done, in the short space of two yenrs, in building up this paper; and we confidently point to the past a8°an earnest of what our future shnll he. aS We shall continne, ns heretofore, to spare . . po lahor or expense to keep op and add to the well-earned reputation which the paper now enjoys, and shall exert onr utmost endeavor and means to-render it still more nseful and / neceptahle to the miner, the mechanic, and the general render. We make no apology and} feel no delicacy in asking and urging upon the friends of the paper, everywhere, to aid us in . extending its circulation, or in calling npon them to assist usin filling our colomns with facts and informntion which shall he of value to our readers in the several departments of practical knowledge to which the paper is devoted. We return sincere thanks for past favors, and earnestly solicit a continuance of similar ones,in future. : The, rapid strides which are now heing made in scientific mining on this coast, and the constant modification of old processes, which experience teaches us is a necessity for their econoniical adaptation to the anomalous condition of the mines and mining interests here, to say nothing of the new discoveries and improvements which the ingennity and experience of man is constantly seeking to apply to mining operations, renders the existence of a journal, exclusively devoted to such specialities, an indispensahle requisite to every miner and millman who desires to keep himself posted in the progress of the chemistry, metallurgy, and mechanics of mining. The wonderful discoveries and marvelous deeds which are now almost daily heing achieved in the domain of science and art, render serial scientific and Class puhlicntions the mainstay and dependence of every person who would keep up with thetimes. ‘I'he achievements of the past few years in this direction are absolutely astound. ing; and who knows—who can imagine what a year may accomplish? Books are useful only as a record of the past—the living, active present can he found only in the pages of the newspaper and magazine. _ With these facts and suggestions hefore us, may we not look with confidence to the active assistance of our friends? It, will readily bé hy acknowledged that the greater the income, the greater will be our fncilities for collecting and disseminating information which shull he useful to our readers. We hnve po especial desire to make the Minine anp Scieytiric Press a money-meking institution; hut we do own up to a desire to estnhlish a really reputable and creditahle journal in San Francisco, devoted to the mining interests of the Pneific coast, which shall be a living, lasting monument to our lahors, a credit to California, and a valuable medium for the dissemination of useful information. ‘l’o necomplish this, we are willing to work and to wait—we are willing to put into the enterprise every dollar, over and ahove actual expenses, which the liherality of friends niay place at our disposal. P Hence we trust that the friends of the paper will take hold of the matter in earnest, and swell our already large list to double its present proportions. We can assure them, if they will do so, we shall more than double the value of the paper, without any increase in its price. A sitt has been introduced into Congress, making it n penal offence to buy or .sell any of the honds or script of the late so-called Confederate States of America, for purposes of trade or speculntion.
