hint that you would see hIm

A British Statement of the
Material Prosperity OF the

A report recently made by
her lnajesty's secretary of lega-
tion at Washington, and trans.

states the following facts, as
showing the astonishing pro-
gress being made by the
United States, in spite of th g
loss of their ocean commerce,
and the prestration of their
shipping interests:
"rhe wealth Of the union in
1870 was $3O06s, ,4Ss;5O7,
against Sl6,159,616,O6S in the
year 1860, and $7,135,7S0,2SS
in 1850, so that notwithstand-
ing the exhaustion consequent
on the four years. war, and the
loss of $2,OOO,OOO IN slaves, the
increase in the last ten years
is rather over so per cent
The thirteen leading mines on
the Comstock lode alone have
produced liz bullion, from 1861
to August 1871, $S4, ,355 002
and this, too, Notwithstanding
very wasteful and careless
mining, now being partly cor.
rected. l believe it has been
estimated by competent judges
that there now accumulates
during the winter months, in
the various western mines, OF
precious metals, an amount
equal to about 100000 900,
which during the spring and
early summer finds its way
east to be shipped abroad
Even the Llano Estacado, a
barren stepe, destitute Of wa

lately been discovered to be
rich in mineral wealth. The
daily average production oI
petroleum in the United
