Sale OF Mineral Lands.


EDITOR JOURNAL As the time is not far dis
'tant when some measure will be adopted by the
Government at Washington to raise a revenue
from the mineral lands of the United States, it
will be well for those directly interested to think
and talk the matter over, and if possible settle
upon some plan which will be alike beneficial to
the Government and the governed.
There are three methods Of deriving revenue
from the mineral Lands, all of which have been
agitated more or less since California became a
State, viz selling, taxing ana leasing. Now
which Of the three will we choose? for will
be obliged to choose or accept one of them.
In 1851, believe. the question of leasing the
mines thoroughly canvassed, and it al
most unanimously conceded that good could
result from the measure except to the regiments
of officers it would have taken to collect the
rents. 1t was urged, and believe justly, that
not half of the rents could oe collected without
continual trouble between collectors and miners.
Certain it is that in case the measure had prevail
ed, miners would have been badly annoyed
by the collectors as Cinnamon are at the present
time.
Many opposed to taxing mining claims like
other property, for they say that We don t know
how much claim is worth" Now 90 to any
