The NIines Giving Out.

Old Croakers, as long ago as 1850, began
to express serious apprehensions that the
mines were about failing, and that Califor-
MIA, with nothing substantial or. reliable
to Sepend on for source Of wealth, or even
. sure subsistence, would, in the courss Of q
very feH years, resolve into as bad, if not
a worse state than before Uncle Sam had
taken her to himself, and found her trea-
sures How ridiculous such ideas now seem
to those who will but take the matter into
serious consideration, and examine the
many evidences that prove these apprehen-
sions to be groundless.
But a merely superficial glance at the
magnitude Of the placers, in Butte County
for instance, will give one striking proof
of the fallacy of such notions Such ground
as is being worked by the miners in this vi
ciniry. aud which is making our town OF
such vast Importance, is almost ezhaustless,
extending for miles in length and breadth,
up and down the river on both sides and
this is, so to say, but mere drop in the
bucket-a mere iota of the gold bearing soil
of even Butte County-and throughout the
State, from the extreme Southern to the
most distant Northern mines, there is
hardly hill that does not contain gold and
will pay for working.
The true source of all the gold-the
quartz rock, which is just beginning to be
worked, is everlasting; and will, probably,
in course of time, supercede every Other
species of mining in point of reliability and
Importance
Figures tell the tale better than words
and the reports of the amount of treasure
shipped by the various steamers, show how
the mines are failing. Here is one instance:
On Saturday last, the steamer Sonora
sailed with S2,094,752 So, and the Sierra
Nevada with S155,763 Sc; making an ag-
gregate of S2. .230, ,526 2l, as a semi monthly
shipment of treasure This does not look
much like fzzling out--if it does, let US fz
zle. So long as men will work Industrious

danger of a f:il1re in the crop

Monday, the 22d. the Ohio claim yielded
S4 500, and from appearances, they expect
the yield to increase as they work along.
At the Rough and Ready claim they took
out $500 the same day, and the prospects
still continue good. They have recently
found a very rich deposit, which seems to be
growing richer the more they work it.
SS 600 was taken out of the Jones claim
on Tuesday, and about the same amount on
Wednesday.
The Mantezuma Co. sacceded yesterday
in reaching the bed-ro in the centre Of

some opposition to the movement on the part
of some of our mining population, but we
feel confident that any regulation that may
be made by town government would in no
wise result TO the incony snience of miners in
their operations, as such a course would be
certainly of most suicidal nature to the
interests of the town. The numerous haunts
of vice that have recently sprung up here
