The necessary pas ports" have been forward

CASoN CITY.-A correspondent says that the
miners are prospering there water is abundant.
He thinks the idea of legisating on mining claims
and mining interests very absurd, and adds that
if the miners Of one place cannot understand the
interests and requirements Of another, how can
persons who never struck a click" in the mines,
pass laws that will meet the wants Of all? He
believes if all the mining laws now in force in
this State, were collected in one volume, the book
would be AS large as Scott's Commentaries, or
Webster's Dictionary. and yet, conflicting as they
may be, they answer the ends OF justice in places
for which they were severally intended, much bet
ter than any general rules, however wisely or
daned.
HOME ENTERPRIsE.-The Mountain Market"
in Weaverville, owned by Loomis & Herdle, is
the finest establishment of the kind we have seen
in the interior. 1t was established in 1852, and
now occupies large fire proof brick building,
worth, including fixtures, $4,000. The pork
packing department is capable of disposng of
$4,000 hogs, yearly. Their annual sales of beef
amount to over $4,000, and sales of pork, mut-
ton, lard and sausages amount to as much more.
Last year they sold over 5000 pounds of lard
They have every appliance necessary for a pork
packing establishment rendering vats, smoke
house that will cure seventy-fve hogs at a time,
and all the improved fixtures necessary for the
business-al secured from fire. The market is
kept with great neatness every commodity of
fered for sale is nicely arranged, and the visitor
is not met by offensive cflluvia as in most places
of the sort The firm have a fire proof vault
with double doors, where treasure belonging to
their customers is secured from thieves without
cost to the owners, having the additional safe
guard of wachman and big dog of unexam-
pied ferocity. Altogether, the establishment is
an extraordinary example of mountain enter
prise, creditable to the business energy of the
owners, and indicative of the prosperity of the
place that requires it.
