RAYMOND'S MINERAL RE-
SOURCES.

~ w IlOlO SobfO -
that Rossiter w. Raymond's Miner
al Resources West of the Rock.
Mountains, for 1s74,v has just beer
issued. The Bulletin thus alludes te
the volume: ats contents embraces
chiefly the mining operations OF thu
early part of 1878, so that it is really
over two years old already. The de
lay is partially explained by a private
letter from n of Mr.. Raymond's as
sistants, which informs us that the
matter it contains vas prepared in the
latter part of the year 1873, presented
to Congress in 1874, and remained
in type in the Government
Printing Office for more than one
year, awiting the order of the Print
ing Committee The present volume
is an exact prototype of the volumes
that have preceded it in the general
style of its makeup, extracts from the
papers published in the various min
ing districts in the territory it repre-
sents forming the great bulk of its con-
tents. The greater number OF these
extracts are now of no value, because
they are altogether out of date. Fur
thermore, t o those who are interested
in mining matters, the information
they profess to impart is now stale, the
press having given a wider publicity
to 1t, and much more other similar and
later information besides, than it is
possible for these reports to do"
We agree with the Bulletin that Mr..
Raymond's efforts to enlighten the
general public on mining affairs
are not worth what they cost; in fact,
it may be truthfully asserted that they
are utterly worthless. His books are
mere compilations of matter previous
Iy appearing in the newspapers, and
they are neither presented in an intel
ligent nor attractive form. We doubt
If one of these volumes, costing thou
sands of dollars, is one-half the prac-
teal advantage to the mining interests
of the country as the most obscure
country newspaper published in the
mining territory. But few people read
Mr.. Rsymond's reports, and those that
do can discover nothing that has not
been previously made public through
the public journals. Onlya few years
ago the writer was engaged on the To-
cal department of the leading newspa-
per published in White Pine. When
Mr.. Raymond's report came out, we
naturally turned to see what he had to
say of our section. To our astonish-
ment the chapter devoted to White
Pine, then in its glory, was copied bod
lily, and without credit in most in
stances, from the journal with which
we were connected. We simply in.
stance this to show how Mr.. Bay
mond's reports are gotten up. Resid'
ing in New York, where he spends
nearly the whole of his time, he
knows absolutely nothing about prac'
tical mining on the Pacific Coast, ex,
cept what he CLEANS from the press o
the country. IT these reports are t.
be continued at the expense of thu
Government, it is unquestionably
proper that some live, scientific miner
who resides on this coast, be selected
to do the work. Garbled extract
from newspaper reports, which wer
given to the public years before, are O
no practical utility and should be dis
continued.

GOV. HENDErCKs ON THE CTR
wENCY QUESTION:.

Governor Hendricks made a speech
recently at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, in the
course of which he took issue with the
policy Of the last Congress in attempt
ing TO substitute silver for the frac-
tional greenback currency Of the
country. In order to effect this change
Congress authorized the borrowing of
$4,000, 900 in gold TO purchase the nee
essary silver, paying a round rate OF
interest therefor. Eastern %financiers
maintain that this silver coin will inn
mediately disappear from circulation.
either to be boarded or to be exported
to Europe. Thus will the people be
deprived Of the small currency re-
o,iired to effect their daily purchases,
and i'm the meantime the interest on
the debt created to purchase the silver
marches bravely on to be met and
Iiquidated in gold coin. Referring to
this and kindred subjects, Governor
Hendricks said-and his remarks are
important in view of his prominence
as a Presidential aspirant:
The direct effect is to increase Il
interest bearing debt about forty mill
lions. In other words, it is the con-
version Of a domestic debt, which bears
no interest, into a foreign debt bearing
int rest. Silver coin when so issued,
will not be a legal tender beyond 50.
It's depreciation below gold will be
nearly, If not qnite, as great as that OF
the currency which it is to displace.
The party that now seeks continued
power is responsible for the two great
impediments in the way of resunlp-
BY strange and questionable de-
vices they have sought To make our
debt a foreign instead of a domestic
debt. The consequence is that every
pay day large sums in gold are sent
to pay interest coupons. The
red blood flows from the veins and ar
teries of the country. Ireland was inn
poverished by her landlords, who ex-
pended their rents abroad. Cheap
Chinese labor eats at the viials of our
on the Pacific coast so long
the wages are sent back in gold TO
china.
