Considering tho equalization in tho present
valuation of coin and paper money, tho large
amount Of coin already ia tho treasury. and the
immense excess OF exports. the only conceivable
reason for doubling the governments ability to
maintain specie resumption, after it shall have
commenced. is that tho people, fearing the
adoption Of tho measures proposed by tbs in
hstionists, and the consequent depreciation of
paper money, will convert their groeubaeks
into gold, which they will hoard until tho cur
rcncy becomes settled, and that tho speoula-
tors, acting on this iesr will possess themselves
Of all the gold they can get hold of, and keep

depreciation OF Confederate money. Tho IN

The Bonanza Played out.
Engineering and Mining Journal.l

Engineering and Mining Journal
For about year past it has been evident to
well-informed outsiders that in the Consoil-
dated Virginia at least the limits of the great
bonanza had been found; but the secrecy
which envelops everything connected with
the mines on the lode has enabled those in
control to keep a knowledge of the actual
steady decline in the value of the bonanza
stocks and the recent announcement Of reduc-
son in dividends and the closing for several
months OF the Consolidated Virginia mine, are
opening the eyes of the stockholders to the
s,ef11al state of the case 1t is true
Are reason assigned for closing the mine
q to make repairs to the shafts; but since
The workings connect with two OF three other
lshafts. through which it sent ore on previous
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-06-29

occasions, 1t seems reasonable to believe the
actual reason for the closing Of the mine Is
scarcity of the ore; and 1t should surprise no
one to find next the announcement that the
ore-body had given out. OF course, 1t will then
be found that for some time past the "bonan-
"a firm" no longer had any large amount OF
the stock OF these mines. 1t is, indeed, quite
generally believed that at the present time @
very large proportion Of the stock Is now held
in the East and In England, where the unso-,
phisticated investors have never imagined
that the dividends 50 punctually paid might
have any other origin than in net earnings.
With the exhaustion of this great ore-body
the glory Of the Comstock will depart, scarce
" any OF the other mines on 1t having for a
long time past paid expenses
AS confirmation Of the accuracy Of these
views, we find prominent, well-informed Cali
fornia capitalists making investments in Mon.
tana, Black Hills and Colorado mines, and
openly saying that the Comstock no longer
offers an inviting field for the investment OF
capital. They have recently purchased four
or five of the best mines yet opened in the
Black Hills, and have still more recently
made offers for the largest and most valuable
mines In Leadyille, Col. 1t seems, indeed, as
If Leadville, the Black Hills and, perhaps, the
Helena Montana mines would prove the sue
cessor Of the great Nevada bonanzas, the
glory of which Is evidently departing.
