stant decrease in the cost Of working, by the
dimiuution in the price of labor aud the i'm
provement in machinery and skill for saving
the precious metal, more than compensates
for the increased cost of mining at q greater
depth.
One Of the most noticeable and import.
ant features in Grass Valley is the fact that
not a single failure has occurred to find pay
ore where any considerable depth has been
attained; and nearly every mine has paid its
own way from the start. The mines Of
Grass Valley have been developed without
any Of the cumbrous machinery necessary
to incorporated companies, with their salar.
led oficers and monthly or quarterly calls
for assessments. There is not another local,
ity on the globe, in which so much mining
has been done, where the same record can
be shown. These simple facts are sufficient
to establish the preeminence Of Grass Val.
ley over all other localities as place for
the permanent Investment Of capital
In sayisg thus much Of that locality, we
are not aware that we are speaking dispar-
agingly Of any other quartz mining section
in California. If we are not mistaken, there
is not quartz mine in the entire State,
which has been opened to the depth Of the
deepest mines in Grass Valley-say three
hundred feet-which is not to-day paying
mine. These facts-and we believe they are
facts-ought to open the minds Of capital
lists everywhere, to the value Of tho gold
mines Of California as an illimitable field for
the permanent investment Of capital.

human nature. Having been a patient, am
bition to make other patients realize bis own
promotion and change of position would
alone lead any except the most cultivated,
enlarged, and magnanimous mind into petty
and despicable tyranny. Power is in its
very nature active, not passive; and such
men as Drake will never fail to exercise it
when they possess it. 1t is always aggres-
sivs-never idle. Insanity, too, is erratc.
method in madness" we understand to bs
the exception not the rule. The harmless
childlike, tractable being Of this may be the
raving maniac of the next hour or day
And again that cunning which is often stiml
ulated rather than otherwise by mental dis.
upon those even who have had the most ex-
perieuce iu the treatment Of such maladies.
Insanity in some degree might exist, and
yet the afflicted person studiedly and suc'
ecssfully conceal it, with the view Of attain.
ing just what Drake did attain. The very
fact ofintercourse with and care of the in
sane might at any hour again overturn the
mind which had itself been diseased. We
do not believe it could ever be entirely safe
to take patient, however promising his
condition, from the cells and transfer him at
once TO the care Of the insane. DR.. Tilden,
occupying the position which be did, it seems
to US shond have known all these things,
for we know them without having made in
sanity speciality. There is no excuse
which can be heard and tolerated, and his
appointment Of Drake, under all the circum.
stances, 10 the position of attendant in the
Asylum, is. in our opiouion, one of the acts
of bis administration to be most severely
condemned. 1t certainly proved most dis
astrous to the unfortunate beings who came
under his charge, and has been most pro.
life source Of scandal. Drake is now in the
City Of San Francisco, and we earnestly pray
that grand juries everywhere may have no
mercy on him.

OUR CURRENCY.

The Boston correspondent of the Union,
of the 10th Of March, says:
Speaking about money, am reminded OF
our daily sorrows in the matter of currency
You in California, whose ears have not for
gotten, as ours have, the chink of silver and
gold, can have no appreciation of our none.
tary discomforts. National Bank bills, trea.
sury notes, State bank bills and fractional
currency constitute our media Of exchange.
The first and second are usually received
without question, though good many coun.
terfeits are in circulation; but State bank
bills are not desired, as all these institutions,
with perhaps two or three exceptions in all
New England. have gone into the national
system, and will not redeem their old issus
after certain time. But the fractional cur.
rency is worst Of ALL A very large per cent.
of this is counterfeit, and there are few who
can detect the genuine from the spurious.
1t seems to be the general custom to take
the stuff as it is offered, without question,
and pass it off in the same way. They have
got to counterfeiting ten cent bills now
which seems to me very small business. And
if a man is lucky enough 10 get little sill
yer he is by no means sure that it is good
for anything. A few days ago a man brought
fourteen silver halfdolars to the Sub,Trea.
sury to exchange for paper and was informed
that thirteen Of the number were counterfeit.
A country Postmaster sent in $4OO in silver
for the same purpose and received the grati'
tying Information that $500 of it was good
for nothing. The other day draft on the
SUBJ Treasury was received here, having pass.
ed through several banks, for considerable
