SETTLED PER1ANAAo'
We expect to be excused for the slightly
t,utoloeical force of the above phrase. 1t
is expressive; signifies to characteristic
extent the present and Immediately pros
nec,ive condition of our mining region,
and Storey and adjacent counties consid'
cred as mining localities. Peace, peace
tina, is abroad on the four winds of heaven
in the East, seems to have become an ele-
ment in the zephyrs of Wsshoe. Things
generally are settling down into statable
scale and order. Lingation is getting out
of fashion. and compromise and consolida.
tion form the favor and plan of the day.
The coming together Of the great Chollar
and the rich Potosi has infected the Trus-
tees and other managing officers Of big
mining companies with the embracing
phobia. It l. even believed that the an
ciens and venerable Ophir and that fancy
stock bird, the Burning Moscow, will
collapse into each others arms anon,
leaving lawyers and pioneer witnesses to
lament and gnash their teeth! But all
this does not come down to the emphatic
reason and point Of our heading. The
Comstock Lead is now pretty thoroughly
developed, Shipments of bullion can be
and are calculated on nearly exact figures
at the Offices for assaying and Transports
ton. This brings about the idea and fact
Of permanenee. The yield Of most of the
large and long worked mines is announced
with almost fractional correctness, for at
least a months safe prophecy. Besides,
the positively neW mining knowledge Of
our experimenting and working experts
knowledge acquired originally here in our
midst Tor beneath us)-is being systemati-
cally applied in all developed regions. 1t
is now understood when q mine is "open-
ed" when it is fully breasted out exca.
yations are made with architectural skill,
the laboreT being made secure from caVing,
as the chambers are securely stopped; in
short, mining has become with US pro-
cess of hitherto unexampled skill and
efficiency. And all this contributes, in
great and manifest degree, to the perma-
nencs of our business and producing
labor. To the same point should be men.
toned the number of excellently equipped
mills now operated BY largely experienced
workmen. Our communities may also be
said to have settled into permanence, in
opposition to q state Of affairs which we
have known here and elsewhere, ftly de-
nominated flush times" Notwithstand-
ing the haul-otf rush to Idaho and other
fresh wildcat countries, we do not doubt
there is large company of gulibles and
sharper-brokers yet among US. But the
former are now too poor to be made sob
jects Of interest to the latter; and hence
we have no high-Aight hurrahs on sailed
pits, no Broker Boards where "Jakey"
buys by the thousand and tskes and pays
4 80 disposed, or to the contrary, without
any infringement Of his Boards rules.
The black-mail mining "elaisss" are nearly
all squeezed; and this sort Of plan for levy
ing on legitimate discovery and enterprise
is now almost entirely confined to indi-
viduals, who, by their solitary litigation,
get an unenviable notoriety and small
peeuniary returns. The Bay papers seem
to think that immigration Is stayed hith-
erward, owing to the inducements for
Southern settlement. While we do not
entirely agree with our eosemporares on
this subject, we can say, even be it so;
those here have developed and abiding
place for work and enrichment. And If
few more will come among US this year or
the next, then it assuredly follows that
midsummer will find all hands at work
in situations which, by faithfuluess to
their calling. they may retain. No more
such hard times Is last winter witnessed
but, at the meanest, little hut, plenty Of
bread, and big hope for all. So mote it
be. ,....
