rurURE MINING PROSPECTS.

The mining outlook, from the pres
ent standpoint Of the season, Is most
cheering throughout this section and
the whole Pacific coast. Indeed, the
prospect along the Comstock range and
in this State, indicates a much more
productive and profitable mining sea-
son than ever before known. The i'm
mense amount OF rich ore now daily
being extracted from the Crown Point
mine alone, is unprecedented In the
history Of our mines, to say nothing Of
the great yield of the Belchsr, Yellow
Jacket, Savage, Hale s. Norcross,C hol-
ar-Potosl and other mines. The mines
Of the Comstock r better managed
than ever before, and are worked by
the best and most efflcien Mt miners in
the world. On this subject, the San
Francisco Coast Reciew has the follow
ing:
Never in the history of the mining
busines, has there been so much to
cheer aud encourage the people OF this
coast, as ut the present time. Bounti-
full rains have fallen everywhere,
giving a sutficiency of water both for
mining and Agricultural purposes.
Rich harvests are sur to bless the far
mer this season, while placer mining
will again be commenced with renew
ed energy. Already we hear Of a large
portion OF the old claims being opera
ted, while many new ones are being
developed aud made to yield a hand
some income. All over California,
from San Diego to Sisklyou, the bust.
ness has assumed 4 new impetus, aud
mines that have moi been worked for
years, are being started up again, and
made to pay even better than ever be-
fore. All along the foothills Of the
Nevada Mountains there Is a decided
change. Mariposa, and many Of the
counties that have attracted but little
attention of late years, are again claim
ing attention at the hands VI capital
lists, and many of tho old quartz-ledges
heretofore abandoned, with the new
and improved machinery, and new
processes of saving the gold have once
more become remuneratlve.
From all the districts OF Nevada we
have the most cheering news. Washoe
is excelling itself even, anu yielding
Immensely ut this time. The Ely dis
trict is daily improving, and the cap
ital invested there Is being made to
yield handsomely. White Pine and
Reese River are gradually picking up
again. The Humboldt region IL gain
ing rapidly; some Of Its lodges are
reported as exceedingly rich. Utah
has won for itself quite a reputation
for rich lodges, and the prospects there
are ilattering in the extreme. The
brightest hopes Of 1t are entertained a;
soon as the winter breaks up, so that
the mines "a BE- developed and pros,
pecting be again resumed. From Col.
orado, Idaho and Montana the mosl
flattering news is received. Ledge:

are getting wider, also. New mine:
are being constantly discovered, and
everything indicates q prosperous year
From Arizona the news Is particu'
larly encouraging. The Vulture Il

tiers are Frightening up, and the pros
poets are daily Increasing. From
Wallapai we get the most cheering
accounts. The Lone Star, Clinton,
Keystone, Donahoe and many Other
mines are yielding exceedingly rict
ore. Perhaps no better field has evel
been discovered than Is the Wallapai'
All along the Colorado river we gel
reports OF rich mines that will soon

wealth.
Tue whole country teens with cheer
ing news, and we look for a new era
In the mining business. The bullion
product of 1871 gave an increase ovel
iS7O of six millions Of dollars, aud we
would not be surprised II 1872 will
give IL a greater gain by ten or twelve
millions. Let every one feel encour'
aged ut the prospects, for they argue
we'll for the Pacific slope. Never were
our prospects better, and but little
doubt Of u hopes being realized.
