Benton and California Gold-Mr Benton
made speech few days ago upon the Cali
fornia bill against the proposition TO sell min
eral lands in two acre lots, as no two lots of
that size would be alike. The value can only
be told by digging, and many Two acres will
contain no gold, and many patches Of twenty
or thirty feet square will contain rich depos-
it. The object is 10 find it, and that is to be
done BY hunting, for which permits are requir-
ed and protection in the discovery. The fol-
lowing remarks upon the gold washings are
interesting: ~ +t-.Es
"These wasings are called in Spanish pla-
Ger, from the Latin pfdcere, to please be-
cause il is pleasing thing to find the shining
gold under ones feet. But it is transient
pleasure. There is no fee simple in it; there
is not even life estate in it not even a lease
for year, a month, week, or day. The
pleasure is soon gone. Exhausted pldcers
now exist in New Mexico, formerly yielding
much, now some twenty five or fifty cents a
day, only pursued by the poorest Mexicans.
Regular mining has followed there, and is now
yielding considerable quantities. These wash
ings of California are marvellously rich; for
we have to believe what is certified TO US by
so many witnesses: but they are not the rich
est that ever were seen. Far from it. Those
of Brazil, in the mountains, back of Rio ia
metro, in the time OF Lord Anson's voyage, say
one hundred years ago, were far richer; and
yet they have been exhausted so long that all
memory Of them is lost, and their history only
lives in old books Two millions sterling
ten millions of dollars-were annually sent to
Europe, for years, from these washings. They
were worked by slaves, who, to secure their
fidelity and industry, were usually allowed by
their masters all the proceeds of the day above
given amount and in that way many slaves
became rich, purchased their freedom, and
then bought slaves of their own, lived in splen-
dor and opulence, and laid the foundation of
families. Yet these washings are exhausted,
time out OF mind and so will be those of Cal
ifornia, and the sooner the better. am a
friend to gold currency, hut not to gold min
ing. That is pursuit which the experience
of nations shows to be both impoverishing and
demoralizing TO nation. | regret that we
have these mines in California, but they are
there, and am for getting rid OF them as soon
as possible Make the working as free as
possible. Instead of boarding. and holding
them up, and selling in driblets, lay them open
to industry and enterprise. Lay them open tc
natural capital to labor-to the man that has
stout arms and willing heart. Give him a
fair chance. Give all a fair chance. It is nc
matter who digs up the gold, or where it goes,
The digger will not eat It, and It will go where
commerce will carry it. The nations which
have industry-which have agriculture, COM
merce, and manufactures-they will get the
cold, provided always that they keep out small
paper money. Not sales, but permits, is the
proper mode to follow, and the only praclica
