ADDRESS OF PROF. SEELY.

According to announcement, Prof. Heniy
M. Seely, Secretary of the Board of Agri-
culture. delivered in address in the Hall
Of the House of Representatives on Thurs
day evening, the Oath inst. The address
was listened to with great interest by the
not large though very fair audience which
gathered to hear the lecture, which was
excellent, and should have had, as it de.
served, a crowded hall.
Prof. Seely began by saying he spoke
tonight for Vermont greatest industry.
If legislators asked why farmers CAME
to ask help from them, they may retort,
" You have first set us the example,"
This he illustrated by the story wildly
told of Cincinnatus leaving his pillow to
save Rome, and again, when the peril was
past and the enemy subdued, was, in four
teen days. back again to his farm.
The source of Vermont's wealth and
prosperity was in, and dependent upon,
her agricultural prosperity, and he was
the most patriotic who contributed to that
end. The yesterday" of agriculture in
this state has passed. Broad fields have
taken the place of our primitive forests,
and improved agricultural implements
have succeeded the crude tools of our fore

RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.

The Mining Journal of June 18th is at
hand. Richmond shares were quoted, in
the London market, at that date, at S62. so.
The Mining Journal remarks. editorially,
on the report Of the commission as fol-
lows
There appears to be some slight misun-
derstanding between the directors and the
committee, to judge from Mr.. Bayliss' cir
cular, as well as between certain members
of the committee itself. Although the
resolution Of August, 1877, distinctly lin
tied the amount to be expended BIZ the
committee of investigation to 3,00Gl., they
have expended and incurred liabilities
amounting to 4,00H., 1885,, 3D.; whilst the
services performed are only such as could
have been equally well performed in Lon
don. Tho committee complain OF the ap-
pointment of a clergyman to conduct in
dustrial operations yet the three men,
bers of the committee of investigation who
had the assurance to accept the duties of
sub-committeemen, and as such visit Eu-
reka as technical censors, receiving a fee
OF 450i. a head for doing so, are likewise
gentlemen and not technical men, and,
therefore, equally innocent of any useful
practical knowledge Of mines or smelling
works. As a consequence, all their recon-
mendations and suggestions are based on
mere hearsay evidence as readily-and,
perhaps, more cheaply-obtainable by any
individual shareholder as by the commit
tee Of investigation. The mere printing of
the report and its Accomplishments has
cost 420l. whilst Mr.. Brereton, the sub
committee assistant, receives /, 000l., and
Mr.. Harper, their secretary and account
ant, cool. For the technical reports of
American engineers (Which are really the
only documents of any intrinsic value
which have been obtained) the committee
have paid 407l., los. A large number of
hes shareholders have already come to the
conclusion (but it is easy to be wise after
the event. that the appointment of the
committee was a gigantic mistake, and that
the manner in which the committee have
carried out their instructions a still greater
one. But as the old woman applauded an
execrable opera on the ground that the
singers (poor creatures y were doing their
best, although critics and connoisseurs
Missed vehemently, so the Richmond Com
mittee are entitled to the cordial thanks of
the shareholders and an unhesitating vote
of the 80 per cent surplus which they have
expended OF incurred liability for.

EARLY RECOLLECTIONs ri
vIVED.
Bishop Whitaker's Experience nj
Tybo and Ward.

Typo and ward.
There are many men scattered through
Nevada who came to California in the
palmy days of 40 and 80, who then wit
messed such scenes as we are about to re-
late, and in whose minds similar occur
rences will be recalled as transpiring in
the rough mining towns in which they
have resided.
Thu ungodly town Of Typo is only rs
miles distant from Eureka, and her peo-
pie are in constant communication with
us, as a daily stage rum between the two
points, and although Typo has existed a
number of years, her people have never
thought, in their rush Of business, TO
build a house in which to hold divine SER
vice; they, however, AVE not forgotten to
erect many buildings in which to dispense
the liquid spirit, some of which are also
used for gambling. Now then, it must be
known that this ungodly town is in the di-
geese, resided over by Bishop Whitaker,
who returned from there on Saturday last.
Upon his arrival in Typo he found the
very best place in which to hold divine SER
vice to be a large hall in which a keno
game was being conducted, one portion of
Wiitu was ChutiSQ UNI III 0ulCu W uOlu
services, provided he would not interfere
with the keno game, then going on. Moth
ing daunted, the Bishop accepted the stu
alton, and at the hour appointed, mounted
an improinptu rostrum prepared for the
occasion, and commenced the impressive
service of the Episcopal Church to a very
small congregation, the lower end of the
hall being filled with men intent upon the
game, the dealer meanwhile, upon each
turn of his wheel, in a subdned tone call
ing the number of the ball as it fell into
his hand. When in the litany, and where
the congregation respond .amen,' the
Bishop waited for the response, when a
genius, with his pants in his boots,
shouted, in an excited manner, "Keno "
In contrast to the foregoing, the Bishop
tells us hat while making his usual
rounds, and upon the same trip he went
to the tow of Ward, and appointed SER
vices for the Sabbath afternoon following,
a horse race having previously been ar
ranged to take place at precisely the same
hour. The crowd appeared upon the
ground to witness the race, leaving only a
very few to listen to the reverend gentle -
mans discourse. The managers of the
race, after consultation, decided to post
pone the r~acesuntil after ''preachin;" the
result being a full house in the church,
and the reverend gentleman being rewarded
ty q full congregation.

THE MINING SITUATION.
AN EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW OF THE
WHOLE COAST.

Interesting Facts ana Figures.
The subjoined exhaustive review Of the
mining situation on this coast is from the
commercial columns Of the San Francisco
Erening Bulletin: Apart from the yield of
the two mines at the north end and one at
the south end, the Comstock lode is not
furnishing a dollar in bullion at present.
The three mines that are yielding are not
turning out more than half the amount
they did a year ago. The average ore yield
at the California and Consolidated Vir-
ginia mines is one-third less than it was q
few weeks ago. The Justice mine is turn
ing out ore enough to keep one small mill
in operation. In all the other mines on
the Comstock lode, the work is preparatory
and OF a prospective character. Recently
there have been reported favorable indica-
tons in the Ophir mine, but SO many nave
been disappointed in the development of
that mine, it is almost impossible to inspire
confidence in the truthfulness of these
stories. The principal feature of interest
in connection with the Comstock lode is
the approaching completion Of the Sutro
tunnel. The header is 80 near the drifts
from the Savage shaft, that blasts in the
one start rock in the other, and arrange
q , Ol(il AhaaC 1AlII LiAtC Oldot-
ing, so as not to endanger the lives of the
workmen. A connection between the tun-
mel and the Savage shaft will probably be
made in July. This connection will be Of
immediate benefit to the Savage, Hale &
Norcross and Chollar-Potosi mines.
The three companies above named have
withdrawn their suit to contest the right
of the Sutro Tunnel Company to collect a
royalty of SO per ton, and have also con-
ceded the right to collect. The Gould d
Curry, Best & Belcher, California and
Consolidated Virginia have also withdrawn
from the contest, but have not abandoned
the right to renew the suit at any time.
A few days ago we sent out about fifty
blanks to the officers Of as many mines, re-
questing a statement of the gross bullion
product of the mines named for the fiscal
of May, in gold, silver and lead.
all the officers addressed have re-
sponded, though we did not hear from
some until this morning. Several were
to report no bullion for that month.
The non-productive list includes the
names of the Belcher, Chollar-Potosi
Crown Point, Eagle, Excelsior, New Coso,
Ophir, Panther and Young America. The
secretaries OF the Empire, Of Sierra county,
and Idaho, of Grass Valley, nave not been
heard from, though addressed twice. The
given below includes returns from
forty mines, Of which ten are in California,
twenty-threc in Nevada, four in Utah and
four in Arizona. There are seven gold,
silver, thirteen gold and silver and
four gold, silver and lead mines. We
have grouped them as follows:

GOLD AND SILVER MINES.

Total 10 G. L S. mines 81 ,92i.59I $1,000,727
The Standard mine is in Mono county,
California, and is practically a gold quartz
mine. All the other mines in the above
list are in Nevada, but only three of them
are on the Comstock lode. These are the
California, Consolidated Virginia and JUS
tice. The Belcher, Chollar- Potosi, Crown
Point and Ophir mines, which have been
yielding small amounts of bullion within
the past year, did not produce a dollar dur
ing the month of May. There is still an
other class of mines, known as the base
metal range. These are the lead mines,
but the lead produced carries considerable
silver and some gold. The precious metals
are removed here, and the base metal is
exported. There are four mines in GU
list, and the May product is as follows:

The Comanche is in Mono county, Cali
fornia; the Christy, Leeds and Ontario are
in Utah; and the McCrackin Consolidated,
Mcmillan, Silver King and Tip-Top are in
Arizona; all the others are in Nevada. The
Ontario bullion is sent direct to New
York, and does not come to San Francisco.
Some of the Arizona bullion is sent here in
the form of concentrations. There is hard
ly a trace of gold in any of the mines in the
above list. We have now to deal with a
third class Of mines, known as gold and
silver. In some of these the quantity OF
gold is small, while in others it forms
nearly so per cent. Here are the figures
for NAV.

All the above are California claims, but
they comprise only a small portion of the
productive mines of the State. Last
month we had a report from the Excelsior
Water and Gravel Mining Company, but
no report is made this month, because the
clean-ups at that mine occur only once in
about two months. 1t will be remembered
that the amount reported from that mine
in the statement for April was $50, 600.
We will now give the May product of the
strictly silver mines:
