The HoIcomb Valley Mines.

The recent extraordinary rich dis
coveries in Holcomb Valley, by Messrs
Carter and others, have given an inn
mense impetus to mining and pros
pecting, throughout that very rich
mineral belt. Even the dangers OF the
elements are dared by the hardy pros
pectors, in their impatient pursuit Of
the shining gold" Some six weeks
ago, a party consisting of Mr.. Baird
and four others started for the scene of
the new discoveries {; and for ten miles
of the way waded through snow five
feet deep, moving forward only at the
rate of one and one-half mile per day.
But nothing could dampen their ar
dor in vain the mountains opposed
their progress, they climbed them !; in
vain the snow presented frigid bar
rier; they waded through it, breast
deep, and after toll and exposure safe
ly reached the new Eldorado and in
a few days built hut and erected a
blacksmith shop. Now they are blast
ing rock, thirty feet below the surface,
which on being tested, assays $500 to
the ton. Mr.. Baird is thorough
practical miner, and has had much eX-
perience in mining, both in California
and Nevada He is not at all an inn
questionable easily elated man. On
the contrary, he is rather skeptical
than sanguine, yet he deliberately
pronounces the San Bernardino quartz
mines to be in every way the most
valuable and extensive yet discovered
on the coast, not even excepting the
mines Of Virginia City.
As soon as the season opens, Mr.
Baird proposes to go on with opera
lions on the most extensive scale pos
sible, and as he is not only a practical,
persevering miner, but also man of
wealth, we may expect astonishing
Developments in his section next sum-
mer. We heartily wish him success I;
and as heartily invite other mining
| capitalists to come and emulate his
examples. B. Guardsman.

Stirring Up the Express.

Judge Thompson has gone for the
llck-spittle Express for its unwarrant-
able attack on the Changers Agricul-
tural Society, in q way that journal
will despise. There is no good reason
why any one should seriously object
TO the organization Of new Society.
The farmers of Los Angeles county,
unouestionably have the right to in
vest their money in such an enterprise
if they desire to, and the expediency
of so doing is matter for them to de-
eide, but the Express, anxious to curry
favor with the horse-fanciers, is quick
to attack the new Association, and
suggests all manner of deviltry that
may happen, if the farmers persist in
carrying out the incendiary pro-
ject. We do not think the Express
is in any serious danger from the
iconoclasts its distorted vision has
conjured up. When these modern
vandals start out on their mission of
devastation, the insignificance Of that
little sheet will prove its sure protec-
ton, and we wonder that it had not
discovered ere this that the Changers
only condescended to notice its spiteful
opposition, in the hope that it would
continue to benefit their cause by
abusing it. If they could only induce
the Star to do something more than
repeat parrot-like the inanities of the
evening concern, it would be a good
stroke of policy, and add to their
chance of success.

The Phoebe Record of Feb. I, says ol
the Raymond & Ely mine:

viz 49, A'OhN ~ ~
Main shaft down LILO feet. The
level running from the tenth station
is 172 feet from the ninth station; the
work on the ledge is being done by
whims, and has progressed forty-dve
feet in good ore. The eighth level is
being run to the ledge, and is within
fifteen feet of it. The seventh level
contains splendid ore, which can be
worked to much better advantage than
any other, the matter being in pow
dered state. Between the fifth and
sixth levels no work is being done.
Between the fourth and fifth levels a
superior quality of ore is being taken
out. The whole amount of ore eX-
tracted daily is from seventy to eighty
tons, and the working force is about
one hundred and seventy men. This
mine is worked better than any other
mine in Nevada The railroad track
runs under the ore-hOuse, so that no
labor is required to load the cars, a
double track, turn-table, switches and
every facility for rapid work being
provided. Shipments by rail for the
week were eight hundred and tifty-fve

In an interesting article on public ex-

Governors salary was $1,000 Now it

There were then no pages in either

five. Then the public grounds werecared

the State pays IS, 900 for that duty. To
inaugurate a Governor costs $500 OF
$400 Now it costs $4,000. The State
then contributed nothing toward the

LOCAL MATTERS.
Chamber Of Commerce.

A special meeting Of the Board of Direc-
tors Of the Chamber Of Commerce was held
yesterday evening. Present: Thomas w.
McCance. Esq, (president, in the chair
MesSrs. K. 0. Noting, Isaac Davenport, Jr.,
5. II. Hawes, John G. Spots, Thomas Potts.
Mr.. McCance submitted a paper from mer-
chants and others of this city, addressed to
the Secretary of the Treasury Of the United
States, asking the passage of an act by the
Congress of the United States to facilitate
commerce ola York river.
This communication was handed over to
the Committee on Outward Trade, of which
MIR. L. .. Noting is chairman, on the 21st of
May, by the President of the Board.l
Mr.. NoltiDg, from the Committee on Out
ward Trade, 10 whom was referred petition
from merchants of this city addressed to the
Secretary of the Treasury, recommending
the passage of an act by Congress to faciIi-
tate foreign commerce to and from Rich
mond uia West Point on York river, recon-
mended the favorable consideration of the
application by the Chamber of Commerce.
The committee say they believe the proposed
route will prove very convenient, cXpcdi.
tious and economical, and add greatly to the
facilities which hitherto have been rather
inadequate for foreign commerce. Tue re-
port was adopted.
The President laid before the Board let
ter from Mr.. Charles T. Palmer, with ac-
companying papers, in relation to goods
shipped over the Richmond and Petersburg
railroad TO Warsaw, n. c., which were only
two months and eleven days en- route. Also.
letter from the superintendent Of the Rich
mond and Petersburg railroad, who, from
the tenor Of his letter, seems to think that it
is something wonderful that the goods
reached their destination at all. The papers
were referred.
The President laid before the Board the
following communication from MeSsrS. K. F.
Williams & Co., with accompanying rates of
toll, etc, which were referred to the Com
mittee on Inland Trade:
RICHMOND, VA, June lst, 1874.
To the President Of the CHAMBER Of Commerce,
Richmond, Va:
SIR.-We take the liberty of calling the attention
of the Chamber OF Commerce to the unjust discrm-
iuatlon made against Richmond i'll favor of north
cn cities by the special tariff of tolls and freighlS
established by the James River and kauawla Canal,
IN conjunction with the canal boats cooperating
with them, as shown by the accompanying table Of
rates. This unfair discrimination Is serious in
iury to the trade of Richmond, and with the hope
thai some action may he IL ken to place our city on
an equal footing with Baltimore Philadelphia, and
cerned, we submit the matter TO tile consideration
of the Chamber Of Commerce.
ResDcctfuly, YOUR oltaicnt servants,
ROBERT +. WILLIAMS L co.
