MINES AT HoME.--People running wild to the
north should stop moment to enquire whether
they are likely to find a better country. Read
this : Greenhood IL Newbauer's shipment of as
sayed dust from the lst to the 9Th of July was
S20,l00; their shipment last month was Sl26,000;
this month it will amount to one hundred and
forty thousand dollars This is from one Office
only, in the town of Wcaverville. Had that much
gold erer come from Frazer river, there might be
some reason in the rush. Private letters are re-
ceived from excited persons passing on to the
mines, but none Of them have seen more than n
few ounces of gold They are living off the mo-
ncy carried from California. Whatever shipments
come down are in coin. One thing ia significant
- Alsop Il Co, of San Francisco, are the Hudson
Bay Company bankers; their last shipment east
was but forty thousand dollars. If gold had been
in circulation about their trading posts it is rea
sonable to suppose that their San Francisco hank
ers wonld have shipped two or three hundred
thousand.
