I been found on the upper tributaries of the Payette River, Idaho, quite a numerous population since gathered there, being now engaged washing with good results. Discoveries of surface mines, though of less magnitude, have been made elsewhere during the present season ; and, viewing this branch of business as a w hole, it would seem to have been attended up to this time with at least an average degree of success. In our recently acquired territories on the north west there is good reason to believe extensive de posits of the precious rnetlils will be found as well also as valuable beds of coal, iron, and copper ; and it is anticipated that the country will be thoroughly explored with a view to ascertaining the extent of its mineral resources the coming season. During the past three months the more subordinate branches of mining —coal, copper, and quicksilver, have been conducted with an average degree of success, the product of the New Idria quieksil ver mine, now worked with a large force, being con stantly on the increase. The Borax Company at Clear Lake, continue to extract about thirty-five tons monthly of this salt, for which they find an increasing demand, and, although but little is being done just at present with our petroleum deposits, there is no doubt, considering their immense extent and the prospect that this materiel will soon come to be used as a fuel, but what they will in a short time be made largely available for this and other purposes. __ _ ®Nand After the Opening of the Queen's Theatre, Long-Acre, EVANS' to SUP.

KEITH JOHNSTON, LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., &c., Author of the "Royal Atlas," the "Physical Atlas," &c. This work has been constructed fot• the purpose of placing in the hands of the public a/useful and thoroughly accurate ATLAS of Maps of Modern Geography, in a convenient form, and at a moderate price. It is based on the "Royal Atlas," by the same Author; and, in so far as the scale permits, it comprises many of the excellencies which its prototype is acknowledged to 'pos sess. The aim has been to make thebook strictly what its name implies, a HANDY ATLAS—a valuable substitute for the " Royal," where that is too bulky or too expensive to find a place, a need ful auxiliary to the junior branches of families, and a vade mecum to the tutor and the pupil-teacher. 45 MAPS CLEARLY PRINTED AND CAREFULLY COLOURED, Wall GENERAL INDEX.

The Report of the Commissioner for the Col lection of Mining Statistics on the Pacific Coast being compiled with such a strict regard to ex actness, and by parties every way competent and veracious, when it shall appear, will have strong claims to be received as au authority upon the various topics of which it treats. That it will, despite these precautions against exaggera tion, exhibit for our Pacific possessions an immensity of mineral wealth need hardly be stated. Indeed the representations made of these and our other material resources are such as cannot fail to astonish the world by reason of their ready availability and vastness. The nations of the Eastern Continent, accustomed to pursue the business of mining in fields of comparatively narrow limits, will be amazed when they come to learn through an authoritative channel the richness and extent of the mineral regions lying west of the Rocky Mountains. llere, instead of a few small districts, as with them, they will perceive that our metalliferous ranges stretch over States and Terri tories, either of them larger than almost any king dom in Europe, our lodes being at the same time heavier and the ores much richer than theirs. Here, they will readily come to understand, are fields of profitable industry broad enough to absorb the cheap capital and give employment to all the sur plus labour of the Old World. Fields of industry, too, already explored and opened up to the enter prise of all peoples, native and foreign alike—our s y s tem making no distinction in this respect between our own and alien citizens. Here the miner from abroad can take up and hold claims, work and sell the same or buy others, without divesting himself of his nationality—enjoying, if he choose, all the advantages without assuming any of the burdens of citizenship. Here the labourer can com mand steady work at wages .more than double those he has been accustomed to receive ; or, if he prefer, become his own employer, with abundant chance of success. Here the capitalist receives every encouragement and protec tion, his investments enjoying immunity from annoying espionage and excessive taxation, and being safe against the fluctuations to which most other Governments are exposed. Here there is no danger of his being oppressed by arbitrary laws or molested by official interference, as in many other mining countries. lVith us he is not liable, as in Mexico and South America, to be plundered by the Government on the one hand and guerillas on the other, nor subjected to a vexatious surveillance or the payment of royalties and other exactions. All these and many other advantages peculiar to our mining policy will be made apparent, attaining to wide notoriety through the pages of this report, an immense edition of which, it is understood, will be issued with a view to its broad and liberal distri bution. That great and lasting benefits will through its agency accrue, not only to the mining region, but to the country, and even the world at large, cannot be doubted. When the extent to which our own people have put their labour and means in milling properties, and in improver ent* auxiliary to that interest is understooc L abroad, an increased confidence in them as sourc es of perma nent and profitable investment can aot fail to be the result. The fact that we have, in California ,done spent more than thirty millioets of dollars in the erection of quartz mills .0. t ti l e: openi n g o f mines, and almost an equal aunt la iii construction o`, water ditches, flumes, roads, &c., d .!signed chiefly to promote their effectual deve:erpra , .;nt, cannot fail to be accepted as evidence of cear fa *all in their vast and enduring richness. We have eelow in this Sta`e 420 quartz and cement mills care:ling about 3,500 tamps, the whole erccte I at are aggregate cost of more than six millions of doll ars. About three tif .hs of these are propelled by s' .eam and the balance by water, a smell number bting driven by both steam and water. Besides %hese mills there are something over 400 arastras, the most of them being connected with the mills for an talgamating purposes. These quartz mills carry from five to sixty stamps each, the number in most of them ranging from ten to thirty. The c est of their construction varies from $lO,OOO to $120,000 each, the average being about $15,000. With the exception of those in Alpine, Mono, Inyo, and San Bernardino counties, they all work for gold alone. In the two counties first named only the silver saving process is adopted, while in the other two the ores are worked both for gold and silver. How rapidly the business of quartz milling has increased in California is shown by the fact that there were but 140 mills in the State ten years ago, the whole of which carried but 1,500 stamps, and were built at a cost of less than. $2,000,000. Be sides the above there are in the other Pacific States and Territories 285 quartz mills, supplied.with over 2,000 stamps, and erected at an aggregate expense of nearly $8,000,000, the building of which is largely due to Californian enterprise and capital. The linear extent of the main water ditches in Cali fornia reaches 5,500 miles, with nearly 1,000 miles of branches for distributing the water at points more or less remote from the line of the principal ditches. The total cost of these works, including flumes, branches, and reservoirs, approximates $16,000,000. Some of them are of large capacity, and extend a distance of nearly five hundred miles. The most expensive, that of the South Yuba Canal Company, cost $1,500,000 —the cost of many others reaching froth two to six hundred thousand dollars. The principal object of these ditches is to supply the placer mines with water, though they also furnish a good deal for irrigating purposes as well as for the propulsion of machinery. If to these sums we add others of minor itnportance, such as those spent in the construction of hydraulics, roads, bridges, &c., we shall have another heavy item of expenditure incurred for purposes subsiduary to the business of mining in its several branches, leaving out of account the still larger amounts spent. in the purchase of mining properties in their various stages of development, or on behalf of labour and current expenses attending their working, the whole aggre gating some hundred millions of dollars. It is true, that these investments have not always proved either safe or profitable. Much money has been lost through inexperience and errors of judg ment, not only in the business of mining itself, but also in the prosecution of enterprises designed to aid and encourage it ; yet these losses have hardly been greater than those attending many other pur suits carried on in a new country and under circum stances eminently precarious and trying; while it may safely be affirmed that the business of mining for the precious metals on this coast is attended at the present time with as much certainty and as fair a chance for profit as merchandising, farming, ma nufacturing, or any other of the leading industries of the country—a conclusion warranted by the ac coue's that reach us from nearly all parts of the Pacific slope of the Continent. We have now data to justify the belief that the bullion product for the current year will be larger than usual, while it is well known that the cases of failure caused by injudicious investments are constantly diminishing. While some mills have been idle and some mines have remained unworked in different parts of the country, caused in some instances by mistakes of the kind mentioned, and in others by a lack of means or the want of a suitable process for the treatment of the ores, the cases so common a few years ago of parties expending immense sums in the purchase of worthless mines, erecting often costly mills in addition for the purpose of working ores that did not exist, are now no longer heard of. On the contrary, while very liberal investments continue to be made, no mining property can now find sale until it has been at least partially proved, nor are mills apt to be erected until there is an assurance that the ore supply promises to be ample. With these precautions quartz milling and mining is assuming a new and more hopeful phase, nor is there any likelihood that the former reckless style of procedure will ever again obtain in the conduct of this business. With these reforms achieved and the economies gained, as before related, the pursuit of mining is largely assuming the elements most attractive to capital—security and profit—placing its success on this coast beyond contingency. With cheapened cost of production the percen tage of loss in the working of ores is con stantly being diminished. This is especially true of operations in California, where the mills working auriferous quartz are able, as a general thing, to save within 25 per cent, of the gold it con tains as shown by fire assay ; those adopting the chlorination process in the treatment of sulphurets saving 90 per cent., while some newly invented modes claim to be able to work at less expense and much more closely. In the State of Nevada, where they have to deal mostly with silver bearing ores, the results obtained are widely different, the mills about Virginia City, working the Comstock ores, mostly reduced with out roasting, saving only about 65 per cent. of the metal, while those at Austin, Twiu River, and in the Cortez .District, where roasting is practised, save from 80 to 90 per cent. The saving at Belmont is still less than about Virginia, the ores there being worked by a cheap and expeditious process, whereby 40 per cent. of the silver is left in the tailings, which are carefully preserved for future treatment. It having been found that much of the ore in certain localities, as in the Humboldt and Esmeralda sections of country, can be success fully reduced only by smelting, works for this pur pose have been erected there, and are now being operated with excellent results. Taken as a whole the business of mining in that State is likely to prove more prosperous the present year than ever before—the product of bullion approximating $20,000,000, a gain of more than 20 per cent. on the yield of any former year ; while the favourable situation of things there warrants the belief that th o product will be increased in a corresponding ratio for several years to come. In Arizona operations in quartz continue to be delayed by the difficulty encountered in finding a suitable process for reducing the sulphureted ores and the persistent hostilities of the Indians, these causes having also to some extent interfered with the ' progress of both this and placer mining in Utah, Idaho, and Montana. The Lemhi mines, discovered over a year since in Idaho Territory, and to which there was a considerable emigration in the early part of the present summer, though quite ex ' tensive, have failed to pay more than very moderate wages, while those found about the ' same time in the southern part of Utah have been but little prospected on account of the Indians who have refused to allow the whites to enter the country. The placer mines discovered during the past summer on the upper waters of the Humboldt, in the north-eastern part of Nevada, have also proved to be of but limited extent and richness, though several small parties have made . fair wages there at surface digging, and the region abounds with what appear to be valuable quartz veins.

About nine o'clock on Friday morning he ordered the cleaning of the prison to be stopped, and the officers to proCeed at once to the yard with their prisoners - for exercise. When the warder in charge went to Burke's cell, the prisoner asked, " Why am I brought out before the usual time ? " The warler lightly answered him, and ordered him to the yard. A change came over his countenance, and- he appeared de jected. He ground his teeth and clenched his fists. at the same time casting glances toNo. 7, Corporation-lane, where Crowley, one of the officers, noticed several men and a woman in the top room, which caused him to call the at tention of the governor and chief warder. When the pri soners returned to their cells from - exercise, B ur i es w a3 transferred from the cell which he had occupied to anether, and three times during that day he was removed in order to baffle. his friends as to his whereabouts. About a • neater past three in the afternoon of Friday last, the f,'6 vern or (Captain Codd) paraded the officers of the prison, ami gave separate instructions to each man as to how he was to act as to .any attempt being made to obtain access to the prison over the exterior or boundary wall. The officers then took up their positions in the top octagon rooms, giving them a perfect view all over the exterior of the prison, each man being armed with a revolver and a carbine, and twenty rounds of ball cartridge. The posi tions were not taken up for many minutes, when Crowley noticed a man on the top of a house overlooking the prison-yard where Burke usually took exercise, and he answered the description subsequently forwarded. Crowley reported the circumstance to the governor and to Moore, the chief warder. About twenty minutes to four Crowley saw a woman open a window of a top room in the house where the man was seen, and three men were there. They all seemed excited, and occasionally looked at the place where the explosion took place about ten minutes afterwards, hurling the officers about, blowing the carbines out of their hands, and shattering the windows into thousands of fragments. The prisoners were highly excited. They beat the cell doors with their stools, kicked, and shouted for assistance. Order and discipline were speedily restored,,among the offict4es.aand Mr. Per ryman, the clerk of the prison, arrived with' a load.ed car bine in his hand, as7b.L:o Dr. Smiles, the surgeon is. the prison, who was very instrumental in allaying the fears of, the prisoners, as they thought they were being fired upe a, or the prison being blown up. Immediately after the A e . plosion the governor called for six volunteers to guard the breach in the wall which had been blown away, - hi mse lf taking the lead. No police had then arrived., and the enterprising or inquisitive public were driven, out of the yard, and told that if they attempted to enter over the boun dary wall they would Le fired upon. They kept the mob at bay until the arrival of the police and 'soldiers. Yesterday information was conveyed to Mr. Pownall, chairman of the Middlesex magistrates, that a scheme for attacking the House of Detention had been secretly ma tured by the Fenians, who designed to make the venture without delay; that since Saturday last 150 men had been designated by their leaders, and prepared for this action ; that h was proposed these men should meet in small parties at a given hour in the neighbourhood of the prison, and then, at a signal agreed upon, concentrate and carry out the attack, which they were to effectuate with two pieces of artillery, said to be in their possession con cealed in Clerkenwell. Mr. Pownall, to whom it will be remembered was made known beforehand the plot for delivering Burke and Casey on Friday last, considered the warning information he had received sufficiently re liable to take instant action upon it. He communicated with the Home Secretary, and forthwith a strong detach ment of the Guards, as well as a numerous body of police, were sent down to accupy the House of Detention. Last night a tall man, of gentlemanly appearance, was ar rested at a public-house near the bottom of Whitefriars street, Fleet-street, in the immediate vicinity of the great gasometers of the City Gas-works, which are said to be threatened by the Fenians, and are accordingly closely watched by the police. The gentleman in question was exhibiting a revolver in front of the bar, and foolishly declaiming about the Fenians, so loudly as to attract much attention. The police to o k hi m i n t o custody, and he was removed to the station in Fleet-street, where he was able to explain and prove to the satisfaction of the inspector that he had purchased the pistol (which was unloaded) for his own protection, and had spoken as. he did only for a freak. He is very respectably connected, and resides at Tulse Hill. He was suffered to depart. The Morning Herald says :—" Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, another man, answering very closely to the description of tho Fenian who fired the barrel on Friday, was arrested by the police and lodged in Bow. street police station. The ( - 3- division having been tele. graphed to, Sutto-i, the plain clothes man, and a number of other witnesses, were taken to the chief office, and there four of these witnesses were introduced, ,after one o'clock this morning, one by one into a circle of men taken off the street, and having the prisoner placed among them. The utmost care was taken by Mr. Superintendent Durkin and Mr. Superintendent Gernon that there should be no clue to identification, save that inevitable one which the prisoner supplied by his obvious nervousness. None of the witnesses could identify the prisoner, but one of them afterwards spoke of his general appearance being the same. This, however, is obviously nothing, but the prisoner will be detained until all the witnesses have seen him." The condition of the wounded lying at the hospitals is about the same as that last reported, and no other death has happened. The recommendation of the Home Secretary that, as a precautionary measure, special constables should be sworn in throughout the several districts of the metropolis, was largely acted on yesterday. The Vice-Chancellor Wood, iu court during the afternoon, stated that, as treasurer of Lino dn's Inn, he had received the Home Secretary's communication on the subject in 6pecial reference to the barristers of his inn. The court, he said, would rise at half-past three o'clock, in order that gentlemen migl.t be directly sworn in the hall of Lincoln's Inn, where two magistrates would be in attendance to administer the oath. Vice-Chancellor 'Violins made a similar an nouncement. After the rising of the courts a great num ber of barristers were sworn in as special eonstables. Vice-Chancellor Wood and Vice-Chancellor Malins were the first two who took the oath. At all the police-courts the subject came under the ma;;istmtes' notice. At Bow-street, Marlborough-street, Clerkenwell, Westminster, Marylebo.)e, and Southwark, all the necessary formalities having been complied with, a great many gen tlemen were duly enrolled, and arrangements were male to carry on the swearing-in with proper activity. At oil the other police-courts the requisite information, in coin pliance with the statute, is to be directly laid, and arrange ments for the enrolment o f special constables have heel made. Everywhere the magistrates expressed their deter mination to give prompt effect to the recommendation of the Government. At the ordinary meeting of the Fxlinbur L Council on Tuesday the Lord Provost, before tl_ nary business was begun, took occasion to refer to the Fenian outrage in London on Friday last, and expressA, in the name of the corporation and community of Edin burgh, the deep abhorrence they entertained of the con duct of a band of traitorous and merciless conspirators. Anything more atrocious, he said, had not occurred in our time ; and as the crime was great, he could only trust that the punishment would be strict and unhesitating. He hoped the Government would not flinch from their duties in the matter, and went on to say that all rebellious demonstrations and outward tokens of sympathy with murderers must be put down with vigour. His lordship concluded by referring to the grati fying fact that there was no appearance of Fen ~.-,a - spiracy, spiracy, or even of sympathy with Fenians, in and at the same time stated that by the provisional order obtained last year no procession whatever was legal in the city without the sanction of the magistrates. The remarks of the Lord Provost elicited warm marks of approbation from all the members of the council. Similar expressions of opinion are received on all sides. The workinen of Mr. Freake, 400 in number, have held an indignation meeting to denounce the attempt to destroy his house in Grosvenor-street by Greek fire. The follow ing resolution was proposed and carried unanimously : "That this meeting of men in the employ of Mr. Franke, having been convened by themselves to enable them to express their opinion on the late diabolical outrage at Clerkenwell which has caused such destruction of life and loss of property, and also at the dastardly attempt to destroy No. 4, Grosvenor - square, the property of our employer, do hereby declare that they can have no sympathy with such inhuman ; wretches, who disgrace the name of man by such devilish actions, and who have now by their attacks on private property brought the matter home to our own firesides, and we can no longer remain passive spectators of the action of such diabolical agencies, by means of which our wives a n d littl e ones arc threatened with destruction." Several of the working men followed, expressing the utmost detestation of the crime. Subsequently the meeting agreed that the workmen should form themselves into a volunteer watch corps to protect the property of their employer, and in doing so protect their own tools. A vote of sympathy with their employer was passed, and the chairhian Vins req uested to convey the same to Mr. Freake. An authoritative denial has been given to the statement that a barrel of gunpowder has been found near to Mill bank Prison. A few cartridge papers, which are supposed to have laid there for a very considerable time, were found by the constable patrolling round the outer wall of the prison. The authorities of Wolverhampton are said to be sat:s fied that the document which was found in Darlington street was no hoax. Itl authenticity has been established. Indisputable information has been obtained confirmatory of a planned simultaneous Fenian attack on the militia, armouries throughout England. Further personal commu nications have taken piaci between the mayor and chief constable and the county authorities, and all necessary steps have been taken to render the plot abortive. _ _ _ Captain Gibbs, the governor of Kirkdale Gaol, Liver, pool, has just received a communication to the effect that the Fenians contemplate au attack upon the gaol, the means to be employed in the. attack being Greek, or " Fenian " fire. As soon as Captain Gibbs was informed. of the intended attack he at once made preparations for the defence. Officers are appointed to watch the gaol, the guards are doubled at various points, and every step that prudence suggests has been taken to ensure the safety of the prison and the inmates. If the information received be genuine the attack can only be suggested with one object--a reckless destruction of life and property, v. there f),11 ,E 9 Flnian§ in taw gaol to liberate. 1 O'v''l Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., H E ItO'S By MRS.
