Bringing things to Light.
In many parts of the Territory articles of utility are
discovered, which would lie of benefit to publish abroad.
We have known instances where products, sometimes
y mineral, vegetable, &c have been used to good pur-
pose without their true value being understood, and no
efforts made TO extend their knowledge. In California
discoveries Of various kinds have been made from Zine
to time, ever since the gold mines were opened. 1t was
the impulse Of that prize mineral that %quickened the
observation Of the people there, SO that as soon as found
everything else was also sought after, and when any
thing that approached in appearance any article of COM
meree, it was hurried to the light of scientific observe
ton, and Immediately made known if valuable
There seems to be nothing under the sun, but what Cal
,fornia has Of the riches Of the world, within her bord-
ers. The last mail brought accounts of several such
discoveries, among them that of iron, which promises to
be Of great value to her.
We know quite we'll that there are abundant rich ma
,erials of various natures, scattered over this Territory,
which only require to be brought to light to enrich their
discoveries. lu one instance, We know a gentleman who
Jane across a substahccYstsch he thought would NAL"
excellent paint he tried it, and found 1t to work a@
mirablv, but never attached much Importance tsH
That much is owing to direct observahon' Sia MAJ

occasionally been found years before, but were looked
upon as some rare accident but when melted thereto,
people found them in great abundance 20 reward their
search. Pearls are not now regarded as products OF
some enyied foreign land. Even in the case of the
gold discovery Of California, We all remember how lh-
credulously the accounts Of Australia and other fields
were received Immediately thereafter, and vet all turned
out real,-some more valuable than others.
Il becomes a matter Of duty, therefore, to keep u
wa'ci.iul eye open to whatever is likely to be turned
If any good account. In time this care will promote
the attractiveness Of the Territory to many classes, who
now inquire in vain for facilities to carry on their voca-
tions. which u little attention would certainly discover.
