script says: NEARLY every journal in the
mining localities has favored the project, be.
cause they believe The same good effect which
resulted from the establishment of Bureau
Of Agriculture, will follow to the mining in,
tersst. The appointment Of comm issioner
such asJ. Ross Browne, who writes his re.
ports without looking at the mines, will do
abont as much good as would letter from
Josh Billings on astronomy, so far as any
practical information is concerned. His &C.
counts Of the mines at Washos and Reese

localities burlesques. Let a mining bureau
be established and placed in charge Of com
potent men, and = great good will be done
for the development Of the mineral wealth

The MALLErT CEMENT CLAIM.-We made
a visit to this claim on Wednesday last
and was surprised TO see the amount Of
