DR.. LIvISGsroNk's WHEREABOUTS
Sir Roderick Murchison's opinion hsv-
ing recently been asked as to the fate Of
Dr.. Livingstone, and especially with
reference to Mrs. Burton's suggestion,
that the doctor is probably held in cap
tiyity by the negro King Of Cszembe, he
writes in reply that no still adheres to
the theory laid down at the anniversary
of the Geographical Society, that the
outlets from Lake T~unganyika flow
westward to the Atlantic, and that Liv-
ingstone is following their course. Any
map Of Africa in which the Lake Tun-
ganyika is correctly laid down, will, he
saws, show that tho distance between 1t
and the western coast is nearly three
times as great as that which intervene.
between this great internal mass OF
fresh water and Zanzibar, on the east
coast, and consequently If the great
traveller had to keep that direction, a
long time must slapse before we could
receive tidings from him. 1t is, there
fore, Sir Roderiek thinks, quite unne
cessary to have to the hypo-
thesis Of his captivity. "But," he
adds, whatever may DO the spseula-
tions entered into during his absence, l
have such implicit confidence in the
t%enaci.y Of purpose, undying resolution
and herculean fame of Livingstone, that,
however he may be delayed, I hold
stoutly to the opinion that he will over
come every obstacle. and will, as I have
suggested, emerge from South Africa
on the Same western shore on which he
appeared after his great march across
that region, and long after his life had
been despaired Of"

sHIppING ORES TO EUROPE.

Along The line of the railroad since
its opening, quite q business has sprung
up in the way Of shipping ores to
Europe. So extensively is this being
entered into, that it is thought u e1.
ports in this line will exceed that. OF any
previous year. 80.
Any feature which tends to give life
to the mining interest, 10 certainly &C.
ceptable and to be encouraged ; at tho
same time we regard this shipping of
gold and silver ores to Europe as quite
q reflection upon ourselves.
We boast of our metallurgical skill
and twenty years. experience, with facts
such as this staring rs in the face.
Now if we have so much skill and so
much experience, why not work these
ores at homer Labor expenses cannot
be set up as the reason ; since freight,
with discounts, sampling and assay
charges, per ton, in every instance, ex-
coed the difference in the cost Of labor.
The great point to DO obtained in all
our industries is to keep U gold and
silver at home. BY working these ores
here, we make the first important step
towards it, besides giving employment
to large numbers Of our W people.
If our systems are imperfect, then let
us remedy the defects. That such ores
are worked successfully in Europe 10 a
settled fact and to say by these ship
ments we cannot work them, is admit
ting moro than, in justice to ourselves,
We desire to SEQ.
We do not wish to be understood as
throwing any discouragement upon ship
ping, if it pays best to do so but We
certainly desire to see our miners exert
themselves to do away with this neces'
sity, by making it more profitable to
work these ores hsre-especially those
of gold and silver, and perhaps copper
as we'll.
Tho number Of skilled metallurgisti
among US who have had European e1.
periencs, il you please, as well a. 'oul
own native workers, warrants US In
saving that We can work our own orel
if we will only set about it judiciously
aud in earnest. As before observed,
our prosperity consists in giving en-
ployment to our own people. Let u.
apply this principle to our ores as vel
as to other thiugs.-S. +. Mining ane

waiting the Saints and studying Brigham
Young. His health 10 much improved,
and he weighs $50 pounds. Two heavy
arprsas rohharies ware committed soon
after Mr. Cooks arrival in Mormondom,
and q large reward being offered for the
capture Of the robbers, he employed
several men and went in pursuit. In .

count Of his pursuit and capture Of the

bers. went, and got on the track of
the robbers going toward Boise City,

berry. Tho citizens Of the place could
not find the trail, butt found it In about
three hours. Then eight Of US started
on the trail and followed it until dark,
when we campsd in the most awful can

We found the horses of the robbers and
secured them. Then VI came upon
their camp. Ono of them presented a
shotgun at US, and ran into the brush
10 the canyon. We followed and under
took to drive them out of the brush,
which was so dense that we could not
see ten feet ahead. We drove them up
q ravine, where they turned and fred

commenced. About forty shots were

We kept up the FIRE until we killed
one Of the robbers, and wounded the
other fye times. The surviving desper-
ado, seeing the jig was up and that he
had no chance to escape, threw up his
hands and cried out that he surrendered.
The one that was killed was shot twelve
times, and died with q six.shooter In
each hand. He was the gamest man l
ever saw.
We recovered every dollar Of the
money. We had to carry Dan Robbins

An OUTRAaE.-We intended to speak
yesterday Of the unlawful action Of the
!" Miners Union " Of Virginia and Gold
Hill, in driving Cinnamon from work on
the Virginia and Truekee Railroad.
The Miners Union is reported by tele-
graph to have deied the Riot Act Of the
United States, and to have run the Chi
namen from their work. We need not
say in this age and in this country that
every individual hero has a right to
work. Iudeed, NO man has q legal or
moral right to be idle. The laws against
vagrancy will, If uncompromisingly en-
forced, compel Chinaman or American
to work. A mob acts outrageously when
ever IL sets the law aside, and under
takes to rule instead Of the law. No
good citizen can countenauee q violation
Of the law. Mob violence never did and
never can correct On evil, real or sup
posed, aud attempts to do SO but make
matters worse, and cause good people
to rally to the support Of the law. We
verify believe that the people Of the
United States are not prepared to see
the laws they themselves have made,
ONcEtuEuou W wv va " ~
ment of excitement. It does not affect
tho question to say that the Miners
Union had cause for their action. Let
them act through lawful form, If they
wish to right themselves. The laws Of
our country, every n Of them, are
open to amendments and repeats. Mob
laws amend themselves or repeal them
selves, according to the within Of nm e1-
cited crowd. Mobs but endangsr all
rights of life, liberty and property. Tho
action Of the shed burners on the Gen.
trail Railroad has been denounced as
one worthy of hanging. That shed
burning was caused by Cinnamon being
employed by the railroad. The affair
at Virginia City comes within the same
category, but was not so bad in degree,
because the Virginia outrage was per-
petrated lie the face Of day. The actions
Of either party, however, were unlawful,
and therefore outrageous.-Grass Val
