Some interest has been excited by the announce-
meot from New York that the whole bench of the
Supreme Court of the United States have established
definitively and unalterably the title of Cul. Fremont •
to the richest portion of the auriferous district in
ICalifornia, known as the Mariposa Tract. Reference
to this decision was made in the American intelli-
gence alt the Daily News of the Otis inst. So much
money has been utterly sunk without a prospect of
return in Californian gold mining adventures, that the
public appear at present perfectly disgusted with, and
totally indisposed to touch, this species of enterprise.
It is a melancholy fact, however, that the
ruinous losses incurred appear to be in most oases
chiefly traceable to mismanagement and bad faith,
and there will always be persons disposed to maintain
that, under really efficient, experienced, and honest
direction, gold mining in California might be prose-
cuted to a highly successful result by joint-stock en-
terprise. In nearly every other dil•cription of under:
taking the principle of association is proved to possess
great supenority over individual auk' however
spirited, and it will be strange if gold mining
should prove an exception to the rule. It is
thus by Do means improbable that despibs
the wretched failure of every company hitherto
started for Californian gild mining, future .
years may witness a revival of the spirit of specula-
tion in this direction, with the advantages involved
in the possession of experience so bitterly acquired,
coupled with those afforded by the more settled social
condition of California. Cheap labour and a speedy
and undisputed possession of the mineral property
proposed to be worked would certainly remove two
of the chief rocksupon which Californian gold mining
companies have hitherto been wrecked. The chief
ordinary element of uncertainty in mining under-
takings consists in doubt as to the existence of mine-
ral deposits. The enormous auriferous capacity of
Calitiatnia.• however, is placed beyond a doubt in
view of the regular and heavy remittances of the
precious metal which have been made from her shores
for years. Subject to a little modification, arising
from the varying circumstances of the two coontries,
these considerations will also apply to Australia.
