Sale of the Mineral Lands,

Ed. COURIER The Sacramento Union
some time since contained an article bewail.
ing the decay of the mining counties, under
the heading of "What is the Remedy ?'' |
will endeayor to answer the main proposition
contained in the article in question, especial
ly that relating to the sale of mineral lands.
At present our mines are worked by a
class from whom the Federal Government
derives no particular revenue, wherein, if the
title was vested in the miner, it would be
subject to tax in proportion to its value,
and our population wonld be increased. The
proposition to sell the mineral lands will un-
doubtediy meet with much opposition. 1t
will be said that capitalists will control the
mines. Well, suppose they do control the
mines to some extent. We all admit that
capital is the very thing required to work our
mines successfully at present. 1t requires
money to open hydraulic claims, now the
only class of mines which can be proftably
worked in this county. In order to run by
draulics successfully we must have large
supplies of water brought into our mining
districts from living mountain streams. Now,
where is the miner or association of miners
willing to undertake to bring the waters of
Pitt river into Churntown, Quartz Hill,
Shasta. etc. Still this enterprise is feasible,
and will be carried out whenever the title to
mineral lands passes into the hands of men
Of means. When that time comes the press
will cease to inquire g What is the remedy?''
for our county, and others similarly situated !,
will flourish as in times gone by. There are
thousands of acres of mineral land in this
county that will pay to work with hydraulics
if a sufficient supply of water could be had.
Give miners Government titles to their
claims and they will become permanent set
tiers, take an interest in the affairs of the
county, and become more prosperous class
than at present. Their claims will then be
respected by all new corners, and they can
work them at their leisure, and will have no
fears of being respassed.. ..upon.by others. The
sooner Government throws her mineral lands
into market the better it will be for all
classes of our population. 10. JONES.

FARO AT WHITE PINE.-A gentlen

FARO AT WHITE PINE.-A gentleman
related to us the other day the following
story of the way the @ chloride Johnnies"
treated faro dealer. A party who had
been dealing in Virginia City concluded
to migrate to the new Ell Dorado, and give
the boys of Treasure City an opportunity
to " fl ght the tiger" Arriving at Treas
ure City he opened his game, and soon had
number of players. A tall greasy look
ing fellow stood by watching the game
Finally, after the last turn" in the deal
had been made, he laid down a twenty on
the king, and demanded of the dealer to
pay him, as the king had won. The deal
er demonstrated, telling him that he had
put his money down too late. The fellow
went down" and brought forth huge
knife, fully one foot in length, and coolly
remarked that if he didn't pay he'd make
him, so the bet was paid to prevent any
difficulty The next deal another fellow
stepped in, and after standing by the table
a few moments asked the dealer if he was
not going to pay the call bet he had made
of twenty dollars. The dealer and the
"lookout" both informed him that they
had not heard any one call the " turn"
therefore they refused to pay it. Well, :"
says the fellow, "Fll leave it to the gen
tleman standing beside me that | said |
would call it for twenty dollars" The by
stander being appealed to, replied that he
did not hear him say anything about bet
ting. "Well," says the fellow, drawing a
knife about two feet long, "that other
mans knife was only pup out of mine
Now | want you to pay me that bet" The
dealer paid the bet, packed up his checks
and started for Virginia City next morn
ing, concluding that they were too sharp
at White Pine for him. Iruckee 71ib
