CALRoRNIA.--As coniirmatorv of the many
rumors atioat in regard to the richness of the
mines IN California, it may be stated that we
yesterday convcrsed with gentleman direct
from San Francisco, who arrived in the steamer
Crescent City at New Orleans, and reached this
city night before last in the steamer Alton. This
gentleman, apparent!ya man of candor, by the
name OF LUTHER, left the State of Illinois about
twoyearS since, poor, as he reports himself, but
now Is as rich as he wishes to be; and in con-
tlrmatlon OF this assertion, he exhibited bag of
the precious metal, at least 80 lbs in weight, and
from which he took by way of sample, small
lump weighing three and half ounces This
curiosity to us, in weight, as well as purity, eX-
hlbted all the properties belonging to the finest
gold.
Mr.. Luther resided most of the time in San
Francisco, and by his own and his wife's cXcr-
tons, has accumulated handsome fortune in a
very short time. Having now, as he expresses
1t, gotten as much as he thought they should
need, they concluded to return to his former
place of residence to pass the remainder
their days. In the main, he confirms all the
statements that have been made in respect to
the richness and ineXhaustible character of the
mines.

week, beginning on Thursday. By the advertise

Foreigne rs in California.

Since the proclamation of Gen. Smith at Panama
and the letter of Mr.. Randolph Clay to the Peru
Wan Minister of Foreign Affairs an impression has
gone abroad that The United States Government
| makes distinction between its citizens and for
egners in its laws relative to the settlement of the
public domain The assertion that such is the fact
is not contained in Mr.. Clay's letter though the
communication is SO worded that it conveys the
idea that the law he cites discriminates between
citizens and foreigners. Though it is clear thai
Mr.. Clay intended the Peruvian authorities and
people to draw this inference from his letter, he
does not 60 far as to make such statement dis.
tinctly and unequivocally. The note diplomat.
cally insinuates what it does not wish to enounce
clearly. MIR. Clay cites the law of March Sd, 1907.
We give the main section of this "Act TO prevent
settlements being made on lands ceded to the
United States until authorized by law.''
Ifany person persons SHALL after the passing of this act
secured to the United States by any treaty made with
,ns
coded leased by the United States the claim which
BY the s
any person or persons shall cause such lands TO be thus
attempt to survey to surveyed such lands
en a, b IN ,nss
fender offenders shall forfeit all his their right title and
shall may f Be- to lands Which
he they sh all have taken Of settled or
to be occupied taken possession of settled which or
or the bonnaarss thereof he OF they shall
have designated to be designated by marking trees
dent of the United States direct the marshal officer act
ing as marshal in the manner hereinafter directed and also
70 take such other measures and to employ such military
to sm
take any person or persons who shall hereafter
any settlement thereon until thereunto authorized by law"
Now this statute not only does not discriminate
between United States citizens and foreigners, but
it could hardly be used to prevent any person or
persons from digging for gold on the lands of the
United States. If the Government possesses anv
right to keep trespassers from the public domain, il
holds the right against al-against citizens of the
United States as well as against those of Peru.
Whether such right can or ought to be exercised
is to be determined blythe California authorities,
under the direction and superintendent of their
superior in office-the President of the United
States We doubt whether such right can now
or soon be exercised; and we are sure that the
gold-diggers ought to be encouraged to get out all
the precious ore they can manage to scrape from
The earth. The gold is of no use to either Govern
ment or people as long as it is in the ground the
sooner it dug up and put into circulation the bet
ter Tor all parties. We are sure also that Govern
ment cannot find gold or work gold mines as well
or as effectively as individuals The United States
will be entering on a hazardous speculation when
it undertakes the functions of mining companv.
1t will be sure 10 lose money and do the business
badly.
