OUR SALT INTEREST.

The agent Of the Avery Salt mine in this
city received telegram yesterday from
Liverpool, advising and urging the acceptance
, Of English capitalists made through Mr.. De
Leon, which is declared to be the best it is
possible to obtain.
The amount the English gentleman propose
to invest in this enterprise is about S125, 900,
and all they ask is that the parties here shall
raise S25, 600 This would seem to be fair
almost beyond precedent, and We cannot
doubt that our merchants will raise the neces-
sary fund at once.
1t is time that our people realized more
fully the importance of developing the natu-
raj resources and appreciated the necessity for
the encouragement not only of our mining
interests, but Of manufactures of every kind.
We know, Of course, that the desperately bad
government under which Louisiana has Ia
be red since the war has caused a temporary
paralysis, and that for the people to have
branched out into enterprises Of any sort
when their keenest wits were exercised, and
all their time was taken up, in preventing
official plunderers from appropriating their
every dollar, would have been an almost su-
perhuman exhibition of commercial courage;
but We codld, long ere this, have effected a
reformation in our local government, had the
people exerted themselves strenuously, as
they should have done. Let us now all put
our shoulders to the Wheel rid ourselves of
the dreadful incubus of negro and carpet bag
rule, and start forward on a career of pros
perity, recognizing this one fact that without
New Orleans can never attain
the commercial greatness that should be hers

One Of our exchanges says: Railroad men
have fancy that certain engines are lucky or
unlucky, and one Of the latter is the Passaic
that killed a man in New Jersey last week.
When it was tested, before it L # the shops,
it fell and killed two men: on its first trip it
dropped through bridge. and since then it
has been in two fair smash-ups.
The general belief Of railroad men in this
matter may be mere superstitious fancy. but
it looks to US as though there was some pretty
solid ground for the opinion in the particular
case of the Passaic.

Gently published by one of the San Francisco
journals, valuable statistics as to the products
of the gold and silver mines were given. From
this report We learn that the total Weld in the
last twenty-five years in the whole United
States has been 81, $50, GA, 1884, and to this
immense sum California alone contributed
Sl,O94, ,09S, nearly all Of which is gold
Nevada is credited with having yielded
over 1921, 100000, in silver and gold.
while Utah, though reputed to abound
in mineral wealth, has thus far only
produced some S25,OO0,OOO, for her mines
have but recently attracted the attention. of
who now work them in n prof er
manner. Colorado seems to beat Utah, hav-
ing produced some $50, 600, 900, while the
united yield Of Washington Territory and
Oregon was but little over S25, OOO,O 600 Since
the excitement caused by the discovery Of gold
has died out, and mining is Systematically car
ried on, the production has steadily increased.
In 1873 the actual yield OF the Pacific Slope
was $50, 2s7, 436 whereas for the year 1872 it
was only SO. 236, 9l4. which shows gain OF
about fourteen per cent. The increase is
mostly in silver, and meets. therefore, the I'M
usually great demand which has lately been
made for thi. met.l England secures the

Business Directory.

We have received from F. B. Felt, pub
Usher, No. State street, Boston, specimen
pages of 1.-The United States Business Di-
rectory, TO be compiled and published under
the direction OF DR.. L. Colange, editor Of
the National Encyclopedia" Commend
ing with Massachusetts, we are informed
that this New England State is bounded
northeast by New Hampshire, west and
southwest by the Atlantic ocean, south by
Rhode Island and Connecticut, west by
New York and northeast by Vermont"
When we used to visit Massachusetts, be-
fore the war. that State did not so stand in
relation to the Atlantic ocean, and unless
the broad sea has acted upon the Greeley
advice it has not left the East for the pur-
pose OF going West. Nor do the green hills
OF Vermont stand so much east of north of
tle Bay State as New Hampshire does.
The information given regarding State and
city governments and public institutions is
more instructive, and as a business direc-
tory the work will be valuable one. AS
geography, the specimen pages do not war
rant us in recommending it for public
schools. There are little colored children
here, studying under White League disad
Tantages, better posted on State boundaries.
