Their Process OF reducing the rock and preparing or
washing Is equally dsadvantageous and when reduced,
they cannot effect perfect paraon of the metals It
ains the consequence is, they lose all the other metals
which may be in H. The rock In which the gold is found
is OF an gneous nature, and besides the gold con-
talns, rom an analysis of hand specimen, made
with limited tests, valuable proportion Of silver ow-
ing 10 ther utter ignorance OF geology the operators
have not worked this rock any and what they
have done In working il, has been without system. Not
discriminating the different Strata they OF course have not
The least knowledge Of their succession. Their operations
have been conducted the blind prac ple that the min
era wealth of the earth has been distributed through
random; whereas the Intelligent miner knows that each
formation Is tue peculiar receptacle OF certain minerals
Like all volcanic rocks that in which the gold occurs OF
such compound nature that il is difficult without anal

gold and SILVER lead and copper found in much OF the
gneous rock the latter in great abundance in some places
That rich mineral districts dependent the proximity
OF gneous rock and OF disturbance, is well esab-

which geological analogy imparts, in the formations

And yet is upon such territory as this, that Mr.
Webster is bold enough assert ''there be
people" He ridcules the Mexican population already
there-and agree with him that they not such
we admire; but how long this miserable and sparse
population stand up before the hardy and enteprsng foot
of the American people few years, land what ten
years in the duration of great empire and this present
Mexican population will first be gradually beralzed and
accmaed TO free and liberal institutions and then
another and generous population will pour in
from the United States and from Europe, and fill up the
beautiful valleys of New Mexico, and conduct the CON-
of Santa re and of the through and
better channels For part feel free to say that
what we desire to obtain from Mexico is of terri
tory and less OF populations but we have objection TO
the acquisition Of few of her people along with the soil
which we get We want to convince the barbarian
Mexcans as well the world OF the powerful effects of
our free institutions We desire to show them how much
happier they will be with than they are-how
much safer their lives and property under the shadow
of our aws-what new impulse will be given to their
natural resources and to their social improvement by the
enterprise and wisdom of counrymen. The rest of
Mexico will profit by the change; and they will say
themselves show is this how is it that the people of
New Mexico and California are so much happier and
greater than are ~ and the force of this example may
work out future and glorious destiny for that
unfortunate country.
