THE NEW ELDoRDo. The discovery of the
White Pine miners in Nevada has created an
intense excitement on the Pacific coast But
those who seek wealth in the newly discover
ed miners have % pay dearly in discomfort and
aetnal snffarines for their gains A San Fran
cisco paper says:
Imagine pushing, driving, reckless popu-
lation of five or six Thousand camping in mid
winter upon the summit of the passes of the
Alps; and yet Treasure City, with its altitude
of 9, 200 feet, is as elevated as the Blue Ridge
piled atop of Mount Gents. Hundreds OF des-
perate characters, the very scum of the from
tiers and the refuse of the railway gangs, have
poured into the new silver region, and are
now blockaded in the towns, with nothing to
divert them from their natural incfnation to
hatch mischief. Desperation must soon drive
them to open. violence, for most of them are
without means to procure food and shelter.
What chance is there for needy man to avoid
suffering when even wealth cannot secure the
comforts OF life? II is the same old story
River the Amazon, Frazer River, aud Washoe
in early times, from which nine out OF ten
were only too glad to return after SUI
fering cruel hardship, and being reduced to
the verge of starvation. But men will never
learn from other peoples experiencs-they
must try it for themselves White Pine is q
rich spot beyond all question, but every boul-
der upon the mountains near at hand has been
located, and the only hope ora man Of small
means now, is to discover new mines some dis
tance off, and this he cannot even attempt for
month or two, in consequence of the depth
of the snow. Prospecting is practically at an
end for the remainder OF the winter, for 1t is
death to wander far from the settlements. 1t
would be useless to attempt to dissuade onr
excitable population from making the trip, A
large class will never be satisfied until they
have seen for themselves. Let them go, but
the information that reaches us from numer-
GUS private sources, prompts US to urge, in the
cause of humanity, that they wait little
while The Ebsrha1dt will not run away,
neither will the mountains take unto them
selves wings and fly.

We are glad to see this movement to restore

its destruction.
