BACK FROM MEXICO.
A Man Who was D'sgusted with
the Comst0ck. Now Thinks 1t is
A Good Enough Place. After All.

A Man Who was Disguised with
the Comstock. Now Thinks 1t is
A Good Enough Place, After all.
Charles Carpenter returned to this
city few days ago from trip to
Lower California and others of the
Pacific Mexican States. He says
that he doesn't want any more of
that country in his. During his stay
in Mexican territory he must have
Travelled over 2,0Oo miles, yet he did
not light on any acceptable situation.
The mines are still worked In the
primitive way, the ore being brought
to the surface in sacks strapped on to
the head Of the natives, about $50
pounds being load. With this
load, aud using one hand to steady
it, and the other to help themselves
in climbing, the natives are required
to walk from the lower levels to the
surface on steep Underway made
Of logs notched at regular intervals.
For this perilous labor the price is
81 25 per day of twelve hours. The
ore is divided into two classes; the
first class comprising all ore worth
from $50 to 800 per ton; and the
second class all ore worth more than
500 per ton. The first-class ore is
called low grade, and worked on the
spot, while the second class is shipped
to San Francisco. The process Of
working there differs from that 10 use
here; batteries similar to those used
here are in common use, but when
the ore leaves the battery il is taken
to furnace aud roasted. The crush
ing is of course dry. There are no
foreigners employed in the mines,
but all the positions of trust or
where skill is required about the
mills are occupied 10y foreigners, the
Mexicans heing only tolerated about
the mills TO fire up the furnaces, and
do odd jobs. For this work they get
six bits per day, while foreigners get
IS and &c. But if the foreigners get
the best of the natives 10 desirable
situations, such is not the case in the
stores and produce and fruit markets.
AT those places Mexican always
gets four or five times MS much for
his money as foreigner can, and it
is an old trick for foreigners, when
hard up, to send Mexican to store
with two bits, and receive in return
enough provisions to last two or
three days.
The mines are quite rich, Mr.. Car
penter SAYS, and seem to be only
awaiting the advent of few pro.
gressive capitalists to yield surpris-
ingly, but the climate is exceedingly
disagreeable aud insalubrious, and
the people seem to be decidedly hos
tile to strangers. Mr.. Carpenter says
that the Comstock is still far ahead
Of any mining country he has ever
visited, and he thinks he will run his
chance here.
