The following communication con
tains matter of much interest to appli
cants for mining land patents and at the
same time exhibits the gratifying fact
that his Honor, the United States Land
Commissioner, has q due regard for the
rights of publishers and we give it a
place here in order that claimants OF
mineral lands and newspaper proprie-
tors may be informed of the terms I'M
der which applications are to be made !:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
February 2Sth, 1870.
GENTLEMEN: As it appears from commu-
nications received at this office, that in sew
eral of the Land Districts, many applicants
for patents under the Mining Act, after the
publication of notices in the newspapers,
abandoned their applications without making
deposits of money to meet the expenses of
such publications and without in any way
providing for their payment 1t is hereby
ordered and directed, that in every future ap-
plication the Register, before making the
publication as provided in the Sd section of
the Mining Act, shall require the applicant
to make deposit sufficient to cover the ex-
pense of such publication in favor of the
United States Treasurer as directed in the
circular from this office of January l4th,
1867, or enter into an agreement with the
publisher to the satisfaction of the Register
that no claim shall be made against the Uni
ted States for payment of such publication
and the Register will decline to publish any
notice under said Act, until a certificate Of
deposit on the agreement with such publisher
shall be filed in his office for transmission to
the General Land Office.
On the same being filed the Register will
make an entry thereof upon his records, Or
der the publication and transmit the papers so
fled to the General Land Office, with the ap-
plication.
You will acknowledge receipt of this COM
referring to it as marked IN"
IF the above date.
Very respectfully. your obedient servant,

THE REMARKABLE DECLINE OF GOLD

The precipitation with which gold has fallen
is enc of the most remarkable phases of the
interesting history of our financial matters
during the past eight years. Following is
telegram which we find in last evenings Gold
Hill News, dated New York, March 7th:
The excitement in the gold market to-day
has been without parallel since September
last. The anxiety of some gold dealers as
sumed the shape of a mania, the equal of
which never was before witnessed in tie Gold
Room. The fluctuations were unusually fire.
quent Dealers recorded nearly one hundred
changes during the day. The scene was
almost Undesirable. Everywhere in finan-
cial and commercial circles the gold question
was the great topic of conversation. As it
continued on its downward course, it was felt
through all the ramifca;ions of business.
The excitement was intensified BY all manner
of rumors from Washington, which caused
repeated fluctuations in the price. The de-
cline of gold had a tendency further to unset |
tie business in mercantile circles and weaken |
prices. This was particularly applicable to |
the department of dry goods.
Supplementary to this is a telegram, dated
March 9th, from San Francisco, by which it
is stated that at 3 O'Clock P. N. of yesterday
gold was quoted at 1lls, and greenbacks at
901 to 81 cents. Some of this decline in coin
is doubtless due to the operations of the Wall
street Z" bears but the main cause is the
rapid decrease in the national debt and the
very near approach Of a resumption, upon
the part of the Government, of specie pay
ments. As things look now the time seems
close at hand when gold speculations will
cease to be a prominent feature of Wall street
operations.

j MAJ FALLS Down Ds.P SHAFT All
lis COMPARATIVELY UHMJuRED.-Ths
Reese River Reveille of the 7th inst. re
lates the following:
A TERRIFIC FALL.-On Saturday af-
ternoon tremendous accident occurred
to miner in this city. the extraordin-
airy result of which challenges belief.
A man named Thomas Jones, about 30
years of age and weighing perhaps $50
/ pounds, fell down a shaft 12S feet deep
without breaking bone or receiving
any apparent serious injury. Jones is a
lessee of a mine in Lander Hill belong.
ing to the Manhattan Company, which
he and his companions have been work.
ing with a whim. About 3 O'Clock on
Saturday afternoon, Jones and a fellow
miner stepped into tub for the purpose
of being lowered down the shaft they
got into the tub in the usual manner,
each having his right leg banging out
side to guide its descent. AT the mo-
ment they stepped In, the tub suddenly
fell a short distance, owing 10 the whim
being ungeared, and then drought up"
but the men, thinking that the brake
had given way, attempted to get out of
the tub before it passed below the mouth
of the shaft. One of them succeeded
in springing out of the tub upon the
ground but in his attempt, Jones lost
his balance and fell headlopg down the
shaft The shaft is only four feet in
diameter, and extends through solid
granite presenting rough and jagged
sides from the top to the bottom. At
the bottom OF this uncouth pit there we're
several picks and a short ladder. 1t is
believed that Jones must have clu;ched
at and caught the ladder, which 'broke
his fall" and preserved his limbs and
saved his life. Almost at the moment
of his fall two men got into the bucket
and were sent rapidly down the shaft,
where, to their intense surprise, they |
found Jones alive, on his feet, sensible,
and able 70 talk. He was hoisted
TO the surface and carried home, where
DR.. Whom speedily attended him. An
examination showed that not bone was
b roken or dislocated. There was one
slight cut in bis scalp ); one of his Shout
1ers was severely bruised; the skin was
orn from both hands and over his body
here were as many as sixty or seventy
Sigh / lacerations. This was the sum of
lis external injuries. During Saturday
light his circulation was greatly dis
urbed, but yesterday his pulse was be-
coming more regular. Jones is bruised
md painfully sore from head 10 foo,
nut there is good reason to believe that
lie will be mp and moving about in
hort time.

THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS North
and South of the United States threaten
serious consequences to the peoples in ;
volved and, it may be, to the future
peace of this Republic. The Red River
Insurgents have already put their case
past compromise by the shedding of Brit.
ish blood and the events of next sum
mer are to be looked forward to with
deep interest. Ii is to be expected that
the Imperial Government will assist the
authorities of the Dominion in attempt
ing the subjuga,ion of the rebels and
it will be extremely difficult to prevent
the reinforcement of the latter and their
supply of arms and ammunition by SYM
pathizers on this side of the Canadian
line. Doubtless the Fenians will make
strenuous endeavors to strengthen the
Winnipeg revolutionists. Careful, eau.
tious craftsmanship will be needed upon
the part CT our government to keep us
free from serious troubles with that of
England. With the possibility before
US of trouble with England upon this
question We are warned to observe great
caution in our treatment of the Cuban
question. A single rash or ill-consid-
cred step may involve US in a war with
and Spain and, successfully
As We might emerge from such q confict,
it is to be avoided if by all means con.
sistent with our national honor.
While the British possessions and the
Island of Cuba are thus the scenes of
movements, Mexico ia be-
ing again disturbed by one of period
cal revolutions. Thus far the Juarez
government has succeeded 10 sustaining
tself against her revolving States but
he commotions which have so long agi-
ated that country and impeded the
progress of her business interests have
brought her we'll nigh to the verge of

country presents the following dreary
md discouraging picture Of Mexican
fairs:

Ar THE ELEVENTH Hour California is
beginning to be concious of the impoli-
cy of her fana,ical adherence to a coin
basis and her persistent rejection of the
paper currency of the Government as a
circulating medium. 1t was long ago
apparent to all who we're not blind to
the interests of the Pacific Coast that
this persistent reputation of the popu
lar currency of the East would sooner
or later work wide spread embarrass-
ment in our business cenfers; and the
completion of the Pacific railway has
suddenly brought the true state of the
matter SO plainly to the view of the
most obtuse tina, unwilling witnesses
have been constrained to testify TO the
monstrous mistake which has been com.
nitted. IF California had parted with
her gold and silver in 1862 and e1chan.
ged them for greenbacks her capital
would have been trebled +; and when the
great overland route was opened, in
stead of being non plussed by her sud
Gen close contact with the great East
she would have been prepared to con-
form to, aud take advantage of, the new
order of things. As it is, she is now
compelled with an ill grace, to attempt
rec;ifying her error, and in doing SO to
succumb to terms which are sadly dis
proportionaie to those which, if acced'
ed to in time, would have made the
change wise and profitable. The San
Francisco Call sees and accepts the sic
tuaiion and in its issue of the 9Th inst
says:
There is no question but California has
lost largely during the past three or four
years. from depreciation of the currency of
the country. We have had gold, while east
notes have circulated. So large a volume of
paper in fact, has been kept af1oat, that it
tas had the effect to enhance the price of
nearly every commodity which we have been
compelled to purchase. Our gold and silver,
n other words. have been cheapened by the
initiation which has taken place elsewhere.
Let the circulating medium go to a specie
basis, and We shall find that our gold will
purchase more merchandise. Under such
the Inhabitants of this coast
.annot but be alive to the changes which are
aking place in the Atlantic States. There 10
till another consideration which makes the
.hange even more important-Se allude to
he great difference which has existed be-
ween greenbacks andthe circulating medium
n this State, which has unquessionably had
he effect to deter investments here. Men
ould not convert their means into gold with
ut an important loss to themselves. This
las kept large amount of money from COM
ng to the State for investment in real estate
nd for loans. With a resumption of specie
'ayments in the Eastern States, this evil will
e remedied.
The sad question presents itself: Are
Iot they who are the most interested in
Inducing this much needed financial
powerless to effect it? 1t
; but too evident that those who con
rol the financial affairs of the metropo-
is of the Pacific Coast are opposed to q
which looks to the exchsng
e of their gold for a description of

and in circunlocutry development it quite re-
minds one of that famous Wolfenbutt-l his

volumes got not beyond the original fall of

not much more accurate than its recital of

for Frederick the Great. who never lent us "A

the FIRST and most nnselfsh friend of the
