Speaking OF the interest taken in min
ing matters in the East, the New York
Stakeholder says: Until lately gold and
silver mining has been lately left to the
adventures who thronged first to the
Pacific States and later to newer regions
of Colorado. Utah, Wyoming, etc. The
money OF Eastern capitalists formerly
was adequately employed in railroad
building, invested in bonds of railways,
Government bonds and other securities,
which for the time yielded satisfactory
returns. Of late years so many rail.
roads have failed to pay interest on their
bonds that investment in them has been
discouraged. Government bonds no
longer pay more than four per cent. per
annum. This low rate OF interest has
led many Of our solid and judicious cap
italists to give attention to mining en-
terprises as source of large revenue.
Within this year, particularly, great
numbers of investors OF the richer sort
have purchased interests in mines. We
hear daily of our leading capitalists buy
ing shares in new mines. Millions Of
dollars are going into that channel of in
vestment, as is illustrated in the case OF
the Horn Silver mine in Utah.

Prof. Mason recently addressed the
New York Bullion Club on the subject
OF assaying. In the course of his lecture
he explained a new process for parting
gold and silver. which he had introduced
into the Assay Office, and which had
saved the Government about $500 900 a
year. In this process sulphuric acid
| waa mead insfaod of Dikr;o oo;d ,nd A. -
silver was precipitated by the introduc.
ton OF apiece of copper into the matrice.
he illustrated this by actual experiment.
He said that in the old process the
chemicals were wasted, but by the new
method the cost of material was nearly
all saved. The gold and silver after be.
ing assayed, was pressed into cheeses,
worth about 500, 900 and $4,000 respec.
lively. He said that about Sc, 1000, OO(
worth of gold was used annually in the
arts.
On Monday evening Professor Fowler
will lecture on Matrimopy." Beine
no longer young and beautiful, but, be
ing on the contrary, bald-headed ani
married, this subject has no charms fo
US. We know more about matrimony il
minute than Fowler could tell us in
week, and we would say right here ant
now, for the benefit of Fowler, that dis
guise 1t as he may, matrimony is con
glomeration OF grocery and butchers
bills, kids soothing syrup, old clothes
private bottles, 10-cent socks for your
self, seal-skin sacques for your wife, an,
going out on a jamboree with the boys a
night, and coming home in the moYnin
| with lie in your mouth and half.a
, dozen fried under your arm. Fowle
