SURFACE DEPOSITS.

Or deposits of metals or ores that have
been formed by surface or atmospheric
agencies, are among the settled and es-
tablished facts of mining history. They
have fu3 nished mining grounds to the
most ancient, and even barbarous, as we'll
as to modern and civilized communities.
consequently are 8 form Of deposit worthy
our consideration.
Without doubt it was in this form that
the metals or ores first attracted the at
tention of men; and to collect them to
meet their earliest wants was the intro
duction of mining in the world.
With this form of deposit we find asso-
eiated the first mining Of the British Is
lands, if we may dignity with the name
of mining the simple process of collecting
grains Of gold or tin from the sands eff
rivers. Some Of the valleys traversing
| the tin districts of Cornwall were pecu-
liarly rich in this form of deposit, and
along the streams of those valleys COM
menced the dawn of mining in that ceun-
try. The tin ore taken from these depos-
its was not only the first source of trade
| to those islands, but soon became celebra-
ted over the known world, and contributed
| largely to the commerce and wealth of
tnat gay lnueeu mas continued 10 contfl-
butte more or less to the commerce of the
world from the days of Phenician great
ness to the present.
The history of mining on the Pacific
coast, in our own country, opens up under
very similar circumstances. The first,
and perhaps in many respects the most
productive, were the
PLACER MINES OF CALIFORNIA,

LET COMMON SENSE Decide

LEE COMMON SENSE DEClDE--
What is the rational mode OF proceed
ure In cases Of general debility and nerv-
GUS prostration? Does not reason tell us
that judicious stimulation is required?--
To resort to violent purgation in such
case is as absurd as II wouid be to bleed
u starving man. Yet it is dono every
day. Yes, this stupid and unphiiosophi-
cal practice is continued in the teeth OF
the great fact that physical weakness,
with all the nervous disturbances that nc
company it, Is more certainly and rapidly
relieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
than by any other medicine ut present
known. Tits tree that general debility
isoften attended with torpidity or irregu
larity { the bowels, and that this symp-
torn must not be overlooked. But while
the discharge OF the waste matter OF the
system is expedited or regula ed, its vigor
must be recruited. The Bitters do both.
They combine aperient and ambitious
properties, with extraordinary tonic pow
err. Even VIII le removing distractions
from the bowels, they tone and invigorate
those organs. Through the stomach, upon
which the great vegetable specific acts di-
rectiy, it gives a healthy and permanent
impetus to every enfeebled fun tion.--
Digestion is facilitated, the faltering cir
culation regulated, the blood reinforced
with q new accession of the aiimentary
principle, the nerves b.aced, and all the
dormant powers of the system reused
iuto healthy action; not systematically,
rs would be the case ii a mere stimuiant
were administered, but for a continuance.
It is in this way that such extraordinary
changes are wrought in the condition of
the feeble. emaciated and nervous inya-
lids by the use of this wonderful correct
i've, alternative and tonic. Let common
sense decide between snch preparation
and prostrating cathartic supplemented
by poisonous astringent like stry chnine
or uuinia. ass
