Coal Fields In the Orient.

We have several times alluded to
the importance of the coal fields of
China, in view of their comparatively
close proximity to the coast, but it is
only within few days that we have
been able to secure definite informa-
ton as to the extent of the carboni-
ferrous area of the celestial empire.
1t appears, from. the report of the
Imperia; Commissioner deptsted by
the Chinese Government to visit the
colleries of England, that coal areas
in the various provinces of China ag-
gregate 100000 square miles. Ac-
cording to Professor Auster's esti-
mate the coal fields of Europe aggre-
gate 20, $50 'square miles, which is an
insignificant exhibit as compared
with that of China up to the present
time the Chinese have rarely prose-
cuted their. workings to any depth
because of the influx of water; and
rich mines have therefore been aban-
doned before the best coal was reach
ed. The inquiries by representatives
of foreign governments have awaken
ed the Chinese officials to realizing
sense of the value Of. their mineral
resources and they are now acquir-
ing information which will assist
them in the development of all their
mines. The Chinese will have to
accelerate their movements if they
expect to head off the foreigners in
the matter of developing China's coal
fields, for several Americans are al
ready arranging for the prosecution
of coal enterprises in China.--lS. F.

WHITE PINE.

We clip the following items from
the White Pine "News" of the
18th:
Frank Dana, who was run over
by a wagon at Eberhardt on the
4th, died on the 9th.
William Hyndman, who was run
over by a truck on the Fourth and
had his leg broken, is doing as well
as possible under the circum-
stances.
Messrs. Gilmer and Salisbury
have commenced running their
stage line from this place to Hum
boldt, Wells, via Mineral City and
Cherry Creek, making the trip from
Hamilton to the Wells in. thirty
six hours-fare $25.
Harry Strout, Eureka's most sue
cessful smelter, has been making
an inspection of the base metal
mines of this district.
The Eberhardt mill started up
Saturday last. after being over
hauled and put in thorough repair,
and is now one of the best 30-stamp
mills in the State.

SAN Francisco, July 10.

The semi-annual dividends paid in
San Francisco for the six months
ending with June aggregated &c.,
01,5OO. The dividends paid in Bos-
ton during the same period amounted
to $9,SS9,540. AS our readers know,
from previous financial exhibits, a
large proportion ofthe dividendspaid
in San Francisco were taken from
the mines-the backbone of the
city. The Consolidated Virginia
Mining Company contributed st.
s,O0e'to this exhibit of dividends,
and other mining companies gave
another million. Judging from the
information now. at hand, regarding
the dividend paying mines and, the
mines of promise, the last six months
of this year will make a far. better
showing than the first. Financial eX-
hibits such as we are now, making
will surely add to our reputation
abroad and inure to our benefit.

ANOTHER LARGE SILVER
CONTRACT.


We have good authority for
stating that the Treasury Depart
ment Of the Government has re-
Gently made another heavy contract
for Comstock silver bullion. The
recent purchase by the Treasury
Of one and a half millions of the
Consolidated Virginia bullion is q
mere bagatelle to what is now to be
delivered to the United States Mint
by the Comstock mines: We are
not informed that o. sum has yet
been stated as the limit to the lot
now to be furnished, but it is I'M
derstood that the Government
stands ready to receive and pay for
the gross product Of the Comstock
mines from the 18th of July to the
LIST of September-be it more or
less. This statement vas made by
the Carson Mint executive officers
a day or two since, apd is presumed
to be from headquarters. This
would give little over six weeks
product, which, estimated by the
regular monthly yield of the differ
emit mines, would not fall short of
SO, 500, 600. The fact that nearly
all the bullion now being pur-
chased by the Government, and
this new lot of SO, 800, 900 as we'll.
is to be coined into small change,
looks very much to'us as though
"Uncle Samuel" is getting ready
to supplant the paper currency
with specie. Another fact in this
connection is ominous for good.
The capacity of the various minis
is being rapidly increased, and to
nearly double that formerly pos
sessed. The heavy purchases of
silver and the rapid and extensive
increase of facilities for coin-mak
ing, is favorable omen for the
exit of rag money. While this
news will come to our people with
q welcome sense of qualification, it
is not the least glorious thought
that our wealthy young State is the
treasure-house to which the eye of
"Unc1e Sam" is looking for a re-
demption. of his notes of hand.
With the struggles and strifes of
scarce twenty years, it is proud
record for this land Of sagebrush
and silver to have made, and in the
future years the boast az am a
Nevadian," shall only be second in
honor to that of d" / am an Ameri-
can citizen"

The town is as lively as ever on
faro, says the Phoebe Record" of
the 18th. There are three faro
games running, and considerable
money, as usual, bet on the differ
emit "lay-outs." The bloods went
at it the other night, each and every
one playing his favorite system:
some of them the three-one. tops
and bottoms, single out, double
out, colors, to break in the middle
and bunch. Some Of them seemed
to do we'll and others not. 1t is
rather favorable indication to see
that our bloods have money to in.
vest in the noble game of faro.
