5) rT 4 _ how more absurd, then, ison, eel Me Report of the Secretary ot the touching the mineral lands is worthy of more than a passing ngtiee:” No State paper has ever been issued ~ at ‘Washington since the acquisition of California from Mexico, of so much importance to’ the inihing interests of the newly discovered gold and silver fields of the Union. as the late report of Secretary Smith ; and nuthiag has been, put before the public which proves so well the absolute necessity of our State being represented in the Senate,by a man thoroughly versed io the wants of miners, as thateame State document: “ The salient points in the Report, so far as it relates to the interests of miners, we pro. pose to state, and comment upon the The Secretary gives the extensive bounda vies of the auriferous and argentiferous re« gions at some 1,100 niiles in extent north and south, and of about the sanie extent east and west, making an area of more than 4 million of emiles. It comprises, says the Sec retary, portions of Dacotah, Nebraska, Colorado, allof Oregon, with New Mexico, Ari_ wona, Utah, Nevada, California, and Washington Territory. He then enumerates the mountain chains and spura that intersect ull this mineral territory, and proceeds to say that ‘all these mountains are literally stocked with mineral, gold and silver: being interspersed in prifusion over this immense sur. face. The precious metnls are found imbed« ded in mountains of quartz.” Not satisfied with this rich and magnificent “lay out,” the Secretary, in order to give himself a more splendid base for after propositions, asserts that the deeper the quartz ledges are work« ed, the ticher they are found to be, and, going further, he says ‘when the geological _ formation of this region is carefully ecnsidered it will be conceded that even the precious met-’ ‘als must be found in masses and in position if asufficient depth shall be reached.” In other. words, the geologics! formation of the eoun. : try is such, that it must be conceded our quartz ledges, when we got into them deep, endtigh will be solid gold, or solid silver! The ____ Seeretary does not stop here in making outa statement. He gives the size of a quartz élaim at one hundred feet in length on the lode, and one hundred feet on each side, or an area of 20,000 square fet, or say 1.200 claims to the square mile. Then assuming that dne hundredth part 6f the mountain surface is occupied by paying leads or veins, eatima. ting the.number of claims in the mineral rea gions on this basis and furnishing them all liberally with mineis; the Secretary bas established for himself the basis for an argument Which shall demonstrate that a judicious system of taxing the miners wi!l work the following wonders, beautiful for every loyal Aterican to contemplate : Assuming the national debt, onthe lat of July, 1863, to be $778,000,000, the Cominisslouer eays that @ tax of some eight per cent. on the whol fd of thémines, would, upon the maturity of a proper mining system, and when the same shall eventually go into full operation, pay off this interest, enable the senor to reduce by at lenat two thirds, “existing direct tax, and frony the residue sand imposte, have af annualincome sufficient to support the Government, and provide a fund for the gradual extinction of-the public debt. and restore the currency to. a wetallic basis. These are glorious visions, to be sure. ‘But, ‘doming down to the real work, how will it all “pan gut”? In the first place, the boundaries of the valuable mineral region are pretty well expanded; seeundly, not on» ten thousandth part of the mountain surface ia intersected by paying lodes of quartz, some whole chains having scarcely any mineral _, Wealth in them of: consequence; thirdly; the iexperieence of miners does not demonstrate that quartz grows richer universally as you descend upon the vein. The visions of selid gold, are, therefore, scarcely to be reahged, and ‘all the splendid structure. of uational credit and national wealth built upon the “ baseless fabric” tumbles to the ground And even basing the system of taxation proposed upon tangible facts, such as. wen acquainted with quartz wining know to be ac, tual and hot imagindry, the absurdity of compelling miners te pay eight per cent upon the gross yield of the mines \is apparent; and ust be the assertion that the system proposed—that of subjeoting the mines to. lense and the payment of the eight, per cet upon the gross yield-> “ would stimulate the energies of miners and Capitalists!” Hew. many paying leads are thete in all California that, for every hun. . dred thogstind dollars extracted, leave to the owner after paying all expenses, eight thousand dollats, or the eight per cent tax propos~ ed? We duubt if there are twenty in the State. We are disposed to believe that a tax or rentage of eight per cent oa quartz mining would stop four stampers out of five io Cali fornia. ; aes A CERTAIN postmaster has by skilllful manuvering,"managed to retain his office from the time of Harrison and Tyler, down to the present time. Being asked how he wanaged to keep his office through sd many changes of Administration, he replied, that “it would take.a mighty smart Administration to change quicker ‘than he could.” Corper In Joseruine.—We are informed, says the Jacksonville (O.)-Intelligencer that on the hills between Alt House and Wak do, rich copper ore has been found, and a large number of persons are prospecting for the main lead. Many claims have been re-~ corded under the mining law: We have no doubt but that rich veins of copper will be found. ~° Ex Monte, Lvs Angeles county and the worst secession hole in that bénighted region, has given $70 to the Patriotic Fund, and the parties collecting think they can squeeze out $100 Tue New York cnnal tolls this season exceed three millivns.cf dollars, Waar is the diff-rence between the high~ est unit anda beautilul quadron girl?
