The Mining and Scientific Press. 11 Svecestrve Tacts.—In Ross Browne's report for 1867, tho gold production of California is estimated at £25,000,000—less than a fourth of which is credited to placcr mining. The wlicat crop of 1868 is roughly estimated at 25,000,000 of bushels, which at an average of $1.67 por hundred, would give $25,000,000—as much as the whole gold production of the preceeding year. Twelvo years rz0 our gold mines yielded rbout $40,000,000 year; the whent lands hardly rnything. The mines are still deelining, but the incrcase in wlieat production is greater than the decline in gold. The mines and whoat fields together now yield $50,000,000 and over. There are not over 2,500,000 neres of land now under eultivation of all kinds, in the State; yet the total amonnt of Irnd susceptible of cultivation is not less than 50,000,000 of neres ! When the State shall havo rcaelied its greatest capability in agricultural industry, our wheat erop will probably aggregate 200,000,000 of bushels, worth in averago years four times as much as the highest figures ever produeed in any year from the gold mincs. The most encouraging featnre in the chango of industry from mining to agrieulture is, that what we realize from the latter nearly all remains in the State and goes toward the improvement of farms and the building up of cities, towns and manufaetures, while the produets of the mincs were nearly all absorbed by foreign markets to make up the balance of trade against us.
