WHAT SHOULD BE Done WITH THE
MINES 1.-The question of the most proper
disposition to make of the mineral lands has
long been agitated, and is not as yet fully
settled, although public opinion seems to
have settled down in favor of letting them
remain open to all. We say "seems" to have
settled down, for it has not in reality, and
the only reason why it appears to be so is
that whenever the subject is mentioned few
demagogues cry out against the sale and
make great noise over it, thinking thereby
to gain credit with the miners who, some
suppose, are united in their opposition to the
sale. On the other hand, those who favor
the policy of selling the mineral lands make
but little parade Of their ideas, and though
considerable in numbers, in point Of noise
and blustcr they fall far below the opponents
Of sale. 1t is high time this matter should
be thoroughly and dispassionately considered,
for it is one that vitality affects the interests
of the state. Experience in all parts of the
world has demonstrated that those countries
and States are most prosperous where the
greater numbers Of people have fee in the
soil. A title to the soil makes permanent
and more contented population, people
more devoted and permanently connected
with the interests of the State, and therefore
more useful. Though in point of wealth our
mines are now far inferior to what they were
formerly, they yet contain an immense
amount of treasure which under a proper
system could be made available for years to
come. The loose system of titles, or rather
want of titles, now prevailing, is not calcu-
lated to encourage enterprise in our mines.
Men are ayerse to spending much labor or
capital on a mine when their interest Is
likely to be forfeited at any moment by acct
dent or neglect, occasioned BY unforeseen
circumstances. If parties could have per-
manent title to given, and yet limited, guam
tity Of mineral land, they would have greater
inducements to develop it, because they
would be assured that in the event they
should find rich mineral, they could not, by
any means, be Invested of their property.
Give n man 4 permanent title to mining
ground, and you thereby assure him the pro-
duct of his skill, labor and perseverance,
which tends to create a permanent, I'M
changeable population, identified with all the
interests of the country, without which no
State can be prosperous. We have had
much experience in the mines, and are toll
erably well acquainted with the sentiments
of miners on this subject. We think we can
safely assert that the idea that the miners
generally are opposed to sale of the min
eral lands in limited quantities, is mistaken
one. As a general thing, the most intelli-
gent and cntcrprising miners favor the sale,
and consider that they can have no better in
centiue to work, and no more sure safeguard
of fortune and prosperity, than to have the
product of their labor secured to them by
giving them afce-simple title to the lands they
work and occupy.-Sac. Bee.
