EptroR UNION DENocRAr:-ln returning 10
the subject of quartz mining IN Iaoinmne'
we find il impossible TO give the go-by II our
c;tv miners and will therefore ask THAI you
allow us the privilege of devoting very li'-
tie of your valuabls space TO an aHectlonate
leaye-takiny Of the above named gentlemen.
We are strongly impressed with the belief
that they have been, and are now, great
ae,riment to the mining interests ot this as
well rs all the other counties of the State:
and that many of the monuments of failure
IN the shape of mills which dot the face of
this county are plainly traceable to the igno-
rance and stupidity of this very class of men.
They are sen. up here by parties in good faith
70 examine our mines, select what they may
think fair average of the rock and on their
return make, or cause to have made, assays
of the same. The average or sample selected
bv those gentlemen, generally speaking, re-
solves itself into little piece of rock about
tie width and thickness of an old fashioned
copper cent. which viii! fit snusly in one cor
ner of their vest pocket. without interfering
with the loose change therein, and upon The
ASSAY of this huge boulder the fate of some
unfortunate mine depends. Ii the assay
proves blank the mine is at once condemned
as worthless and no further notice taken
thereof. We know of several mines IN this
immediate neishboIhood which have receiv-
ed their quietus in the way above stated.
We very much regret, Mr.. Editor, that
the system of assaying was ever introduced
as n means by which to determine value OF
mines, for to Il, in our humble Judgment is to
be attributed in q very great measure the
present stagnant state of things in this coun-
ty. The idea of baseing calculation as to
the ya,ue of mine on the result obtained
from single assay of one quarter OF an ounce
of rock is something too ridiculous to be
entertained for single moment, and yet the
thing is being done every day. Another
cause of our present troubles is owing to the
fact that the moneyed men of San Francisco
are strongly impressed with the idea that
the quartz veins of Tuolumne are all pocket
veins and consequently not to be relied on.
This idea ha. no doubt originated from the
numerous pockets which have heen discover
ed from time to time within the limits of the
county, and which, if rightly considered,
proves nothing, as they are formed outside,
and independant of those veins which are
termed legitimate. No one pretends to doubt
for moment but that the great mother vein
which passes through the entire length of
this county is the same which is now yield
ing up its treasure to the world in the upper
counties of the State, and that fact alone
should be sufficient to prove the fallacy of the
ideas entertained by our San Francisco
friends regarding the quartz veins of this
county. We would have said more on this
subject but that we think it best to admins
ter our physic in small doses and thereby
keep the pulse of our patients in healthy
state. We remain as usual.

To OUR ExcuANGEs.-A proposition was
started some time ago to have meeting of
the editors and publishers of the State for
some purpose not then stated. We do not
know that there would be any particular
good result from it, but it strikes us that much
good could be effected by having some under
standing about advertising agents and the
rates of advertising. In San Francisco there
IRE some half dozen agents, each underbid-
ing the others, and in their eagerness to get
business from each other they take advertise
ments where the pay is doubtful. In order
that he might have a chance to underbid to a
better advantage one agent engaged the priv
ilege of all the papers he could by the column
and from the rates offered us, we think he got
the privilege from many on such terms as
would enable him to take about three-tourths
cf his business fer nothing provided he could
get paving rates for the balance. One New
York advertising firm send cut here and effect
cheap arrangements with many papers and
then advertise at the East that they can have
advertisements inserted at extraordinarily
cheap rates in California. We have stood out
against this reduction Of prices space in our
columns is worth money but one publisher
can do no good against the general evil. Nei-
ther do we know il any good can be accom-
plished hv meeting and talking the matter
over. What do you all think9
We clip the above from the Colusa S'm.
We think that convention of publishers to
adopt uniform rates of advertising would be
of great benefit to the interior press. Such
convention, however, to effect anything,
should represent all or nearly all, the news
papers of the State, and the rates adopted by
it should be rigidly adhered to by all. II
any paper ou account of remoteness, or any
other. cause, could not send representative
its publisher should be furnished with a copy
of the rates agreed to and requested to publish
in his paper his acceptance of the terms.
Such terms however need not, necessarily
be made public. This competition among ad-
vertising agents is an evil which must be
eheckmated in some manner,by the press.
