ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON.
ROBERT P. STEELE, Secretary.

Mazeppa, close by, is an established and
growing town ; the city of Swansea has commenced,
and Eberhardt has so far risen that a man who
invested $750 in it had j ist sold his interest for
$B,OOO. To understand the present state of affairs
in "Treasure City, the reader iuu2t imag'ne a cod-
gregation of unmitigated ruffians, without any r; -
straining camer but fear, each armed, and with Ilia
pistol loaded in his pocket, his bowie knife at hand.
Picture such an assemblage located on a mine;
drunkards, gamblers, thieves, extortioners, each a
law unto himself, and kept in check only by the
pistol of his neighbour. An Act has been passed
creating White Pine a County ; the number of law-
abiding citizens will gradually increase, who act
together, while the ruffians are a rope of sand ;
Vigilance Committees will be established, and under
the leadership of some brave and energetic man
Treasure City may soon hope to be an orderly town.
The mountain on which it stands is des-
scribed as similar in formation to Potosi.
Two years ago a starving Indian brought to some
miners, ore, which showed its wealth. On explor-
ing, pure silver was Anad-arberc trees had fallen
and had been burnt, or where Indians had lit a fire_
on beds of chloride ore, reducing the easily smelted
rock to metal. The great Ebenhardt vein was
next discovered, then the Chloride Flat. The
White Pine Netter says :—" The geological forma-
tion of the mountain is as singular as its riches are
rare. It is an isolated peak of fossiliferous lime-
stone, overlaying silurian rocks at a great depth,
and these having a foundation on those of tha
primitive age. Into the crevices, caves, and chasms
Of the limestone, or in displacements occasioned ty
the action of thermal waters rising from the primi-
tive and silurian rocks, were deposited the lime,
silicia, spar, and ores which now constitute the
mines and veins of the bill. By such process of
change has been formed that singular feature of
mineralogy—fossiliferous quartz. The limestone
has been carried away by the action of the water,
while all its features, the form and character of its
fossils, have been preserved in the obtruding silica.
These crevices, chasms, caves, or displacements are
in every portion of the hill, and of every size, frcm
that of a bull's eye to that of the mammoth chasm
of the Eberhardt, and the continuation of each,
with increasing or varying rielines3, may be fol-
low:A to an indeliuile depth. A body of ore, ian:ll
at the surfaco, may at a greater or less depth ex-
pand to a great size, and vice versa. Such a for-
mation is very advantageous for mining, as the or. s
are in vast quantity, pure and rich, and easily
mined. The exhaustion of the bill is almost a
matter of impossibility, and none now living sill
see it accomplished. as of the mountain to which
we have compared it, hundreds of years hence w.ll
see a prosperous mining community about the sides
and base of Treasure Hill." Two beds of bitumin-
ous shale harebeen discovered six miles east of Trea-
sure City, the one 15 feet in thickness, the other 131)
feet, in a country of carboniferous limestone, and
which burns freely. A correspondent who had
just arrived says that he found the wealth
of the district to be underrated ; indeed, it could
not easily be overrated, and certainly he bears out

this statement by surprising figures.
The following list of returns for the month of December
will servo to show the relative yield of the various mines.
The first column gives the number of tons, the second the
average per ton :

The ore is reduced at a cost of from $65 to $7O a
ton. Notwithstanding that the district has at-
tracted miners from every direction, from the Com-
stock lode, the richest mines of Nevada, from Mexico,
from California, they all appear astounded at the
wealth of the ore, and the ease with which it is
worked. Already nearly 100 companies have been
organized ; 9 mills are in operation ; wages are Z 1
a day of eight hours, but no men work for others
except when pressed for money to ctrry on their
own operations. English minors, young, healthy,
and fearless, might push their fortunes there, and
it would be worth the while of a Cornish family to
combine to send one of its members to try his for-
tune, and report for his fellows.
A recent traveller thus narrates his experiences :
—" At one station the party halted for a square
meal. There was a tent, and in it a huge kettle of
coffee and a camp oven. After waiting a few
minutes, the landlord came to the door and snapped
out, " room for four." Our informant went in with
three other men and they knelt around a flat box,
which the hotel keeper had turned down on the
ground. On the top were four basins of strong
coffee, and by each dirty tin was a dirty black bis-
cuit and an egg. The coffee and eggs were good,
and the biscuits were good ou the outside, that is,
the eater had to choose between two evils—dirt
over the top crust, dough under it. Each loaf was
like a cream cake, perfectly soft inside. Thehungry
men took off the crust and after blowing, scraping,
and rubbing it to remove the alluvial deposits, put it
down with a gusto and torrents of strong coffee.
The inside masses of dough were left by each man's
basin. When the men had finished their meal, and
while they were yet kneeling, the host put his soot-
begrirnmed and greasy hand over the box and spoke
again, " Four dollar." I-Ie was paid. Plump went
the silver into his pouchy pocket, and pop went the
four masses of dough back into the oven. As soon
as a new crust was baked over them, eggs cuoked
and the basins refilled with coffee, four more hungry
men knelt down, ate off the crust, rejected the rest
of the dough for another baking, and paid their
dollar each for the meal. It was calculated that
one more stage load of customers would finish the
biscuits and put the landlord to the trouble of
kneading a new batch."

In Senator Wilson's reply to Senator Sprague in
discussing the lot of working men, 113 said :—" In the
winter of 1836, when I came of age, I hired myself
for one month to a farmer of my native town. I went
into the forests, drove teams, chopped wood and tinily!r,
working at least 14 hours daily. For this work Ire •
ceived the enormous sum of $6 iu cash. I then thought I
was quite fortunate to get $6 in money for that month's
hard toil. The wages of labour have increased in that
region in New England since that day three or four fold."
General Webb, the new military commander in
Virginia, is a sou of James Watson Webb. During the
war he was General 11ea.de's chief of staff a portion of the

time.
Captain Qualey, of the American packetship
Thep:l/cora lost at sea Feb. 14th on the coast of Portugal,
arrived at New York, April 6, on board the steamer Villa
de Paris, from Brest. The crew were taken off by the
A. C. Carroll, of New York, and carried to Lisbon.
Charles E. Thompson alias Bullard, and Isaac
C. Morton alias Marsh, the robbers of the Merchants'
Union Express Company, have escaped from the gaol at
WLito Plains. Charles Lester and James Lewis, burglars,
improved the occasion, as the gaol had bean opened for the
others to walk out alto. Brooks and Orme, the Broadhead
murderers,
escaped front a reunqlvanian gaol, but Orme
wa ; recaptured.
The only son of Commodoro. Livingstone, U.S.N.,
died at Brunswick, Germany, last week, of apoplexy, re-
sulting front the effects of a sore VI: wit. He was there for
the purpose of studying German, and was attended in his
last moments by his cousin, J. L. Tappan. his body was
sent to America for burial. TL's is a severe et to
Commodore Livingston, whom so many Amcrleaus had
the p:easure of boc.oming acquainted with last summer on
the Continent.
