IDENTIFY a common sense, practical sort
Of a man, writes to the American Jour
nal Of Mining, New York, from San
Francisco, under date of January 18th,
"a follows, relative to mining matters
ON this coast. lie says "Miuing here
is assuming gradually a distinct bust
ness, as it should for the interest Of all.
Heretofore, stock spectators have
formed one class Of miners, but they are
now looked upon as n separate body.
With you, as with us, no doubt, the
Comstock is watched with the greatest
interest. This wonderful productive
lead still goes on. That the ComstoeS
does not look as well as formerly is no
doubt correct, but that it has gone In
is all humbug. IL has, nevertheless,
cut up a'good many neutrality-suspicious.,
until it has upset every scientific and
practical theory. have come TO the
Conclusion that the least one pretends
10 know where it is or is not, beyond
pa.timc exploration, the better oil he is.
One trouble in mining enterprises here
is the way in which some cases are
managed. 1t is 'hurrah, boys, to-day,
big dividends and plenty of them,'
and up 60 stocks, and then the frat
thing YOU know there is an assessment
and the bottom drops out, instead Of
holding a reserve fund, and by making
less dividends prepare against unusual
draws by accidents, etc. The Imperial
Company, in this respect, is a model
institution. Mining from this time on,
is going to greatly advance, for several
reasons one is, money is too plenty
for the present facilities OF getting 1t
ont on fair interest, outside Of mining.
Again, practice has made US perfect
miners ; aud again, there is a DISPOSE
ton to work the same rock with more
care. now and then hear Of Eastern
capital going into SOM OF our mines.
| think they exhibit great confidence,
from the way they have pocketed losses.
The fact is, mining to-day is the best
business in California, il managed with
skill, experience and economy. This
idea Of who cares for expenses" be-
cause you, are working in gold and sill
yer, will burst any company. Mining
property is now being rated at u more
reasonable hgure.'
THE GRAND BALL To-SIGHr. The
long and pleasurably anticipated ball of
Yellow Jacket Hose Co., No. 2, takes
place at Thester Hall this evening. 1t
will be an occasion Of unequaled festive
sociability. The hall is most bOauti-
fully and tastefully decorated with flags,
wreaths, 6remen's emblems, etc. and the
Hose Company will not only appear in
full Uniform, but their brother hremen OF
Gold Hill and Virginia who are IN at
tendance will doubtless also come in
their appropriate uniform. Choice
music will be furnished by the best band
in the State, and this will be really The
best ball Of the season. We acknowl-
edge the receipt of u complimentary
ticke. and shall be CHAR" together
with the " Young Gal from Sonoma~
Haight's buses will run at proper
hours for the accommodation Of those
who are coming down rom Virginia.
NECESSARY PREcAUrIoy.-We are in
formed that the management at Pipers'
Opera House is obliged to station seNe-
raj special policemen at the entrance to
the stage to keep the excited crowd OF
men back during that critical part OF
the railroad scene, where Laura with IN
axe is fra~ntically trying to cut her way
ont through the door OF the old station
shed, in order to rescue Smokey, who
lies tied fast with his neck across the
rail, and the express train coming thuu-
dering along at full speed. There isn't
A man in the audience who doesn't
to rush in and help her cut that door
down.
RAScHISG on THE WALHER.-A FREUD
who has been oyer in the Walker river
region, rus,icatinS for q few days,
speaks in glowing terms Of the Spring
developed beauties and prospects OF
tina. locality. The grain fields are all
green with very flourishipg looking
crops promising a fine yield at harvest.
Considerable more land is sown than
there was last year. The cattle oil look
well, having plenty q good feed on.the
hillsides, among the ravines, and the
Walker country generally is in a hour
ing state.
SINGULAR ACADEMIA miner living
in a little cabin near the Divide, last
evening was handling a fresh loaded
revolver, when he accidentally managed
TO discharge one of the shots, narrowly
missing the hip of \ companion VINO
was standing near. The a passed
through a thin partition and hit violin
hanging on the wall in the next room,
knocking it down and breaking 1t INTO
smithereens.
THs OCCIDENTAL MiSE.-We under-
stand that the Occidental mine, Silver
Star District, has been incorporated,
and its stock will be put upon the stock
market in q few days. II is doubtless n
far better gold and silver mine than
some others reputed to be on the Com
stock. If it is offered at the stock board
at moderate, honest figures, no doubt
there will be plenty Of buyers.
PERsoyAL.-John S. Mayhugh, Esq,
Of Esmeralda county, who has been in
the Eastern States for the last eight
months, has just returned overland, and
looks well and hearty. We saw him IN
Carson city yesterday. John is u very
clever, and withal, quite q talented gen.
tlensn, and will be welcomed home by
a host Of friends.
