MININo.-An erroneous opinion is every.
where prevalent concerning the reward which
mining yields to the labor bestowed upon it..
Some imagine that because number enpa.
ged in the business have, by good luck, or &C.
cident, become suddenly rich, the business of
mining must be veay profitable, and that,
therefore, the mines should be held in re.
serve, and tax assessed upon their, pro.
ducts, as a part OF the revenue of govern.
ment. This is oppressive to those engaged
in the business, and should be abandoned bv
the government. During residence of sew
opinion expressed by old miners and shelters
ceeds Of all the sales of lead raised ia the
;nines would not pay twenty cents per day for
the labor expended in searching for raising,
&c. This, We conceive, is no extravagant
ADD we see by the testimony civ.
en- in suit recently tried at Dubuque, for the
recovery of rent lead, two Witnesses testify
that mining in the general, Is not profit
able business-that ten lose ty engaging in
it, where one makes by it. Of thousands who
have been engaged in 'prospecting,' iabored
hard, spent their all, and oeen unsuccessful:
nothing has been known beyond their imme-
date vicinity. while the names Of the success
full miners, with great blow about their dis.
covery are heralded forth, so the public mind
has been led into error, TO the injury Of those
engaged in it.
From our knowledge of the matter, we con.
slider the prospects Of acquiring wealth by
mining about equal to the chance for obtain.
ing it by investing the value Of the labor 10
lottery tickets.
