THE FlFER'S PRISONER.

During the occupation of Winchester by
our troops, strict orders were issued against
all foraging, for the valley was cleaned out
and both friend and foe were suffering. An
Irish ffer attached to one of the regiments
was arrested by the guard one day with a
goose dangling from his shoulder, and locked
up in the guard house When confronted
with the Colonel he was asked if he did not
know the orders in regard to fcragng, 81 do

THE Times Rer;eu of the 25th SAYS:

An attempt was made night before last in
Columbia to destroy with giant powder, the
large store on main street belonging to the
Columbia Mining Company. quantity of
the explosive material was placed under the
corner of the building, which was stored with
mining and mill supplies, and set fire to about
midnight The explosion aroused the whole
town. The end of the building was shivered
as though struck by lightning, and the con-
tents of the store were scattered in every
direction. box containing about forty
pounds of giant powder was thrown several
Yards from the store. At the time our infor-
mant left Columbia yesterday, no arrests
we're made, but it is likely that the parties
who perpetrated the outrage are in custody
by this time, as the authorities had good
reason to believe that they be spotted.

THE Commissioners of the Sc veral counties
seem to have equalized to some purpose
recently. Lander County has largely increased
the assessment on the railroad running within
the county, as have also the Commissioners
of Ormsby Large notifications have also
been made in the assessments on private
property causing growl here and there; but
while these changes have been made, it is
probable that no one has been wronged by
taxing property beyond it's actual value, and
no one presumes that railroads or railroad
property paid but 1.-THE of their real value.
The assessments made on various kinds of
real estate are in many cases preposterons.
People would, we suppose, make no great OBJ
lection to having property assessed at its
value and the taxes lowered, rather than to be
compelled annually to swear to an underval-
uation with higher rate of taxation. Public
expenses must be provided for, and as it is
supposed that taxation is annually based upon
estimates, it costs no more to oe honest about
our returns, and make a better showing as to
our material wealth and our tax rate. 1t is
very probable that if we were to estimate the
real value ofsproperty in any county, it would
be found that two thirds of our present rate
would represent our real taxation.

ADVICE TO EASTERN INVESTORS.
mining and scIentItic press.l

1t was only last week that we took it
upon US to suggest the need OF caution
10 the purchase of mining properties on
this Coast. it may be asked what then
are Eastern investors to do il both
the stocks and the mines themselves are
such dangerous things to NEEDLE with.
To this it may be replied that II parties
abroad desire to become interested in our
mines they had better go about the bust
ness as is the practice with US on this
side-that is buy up partially or fully
developed claims already located, equip
ping them themselves or else buy mines
opened, QUILTED and actively productive,
being careful not to pay more in any in.
stance than q fair equivalent for what
they get. Or they might. as is the Gus.
tom in all mining countries, provision
and send out experienced prospectors to
hunt for and take up mineral deposits
on joint aooount-a very good plan where
there remains, as on this Coast, 80 much
territory but partially explored. The
mining field in this region of the ex-
treme West is very extensive; its forms
OF wealth are varied, and it is, compare.
lively speaking, but little occupied, Of
fering every induoement for parties to
enter and search after metalliferous de-
posits for themselves. As an encourage
ment to this course it may be stated that
more valuable mineral developments,
productive mines and promising pros
poets included, have been made in Mono
county. California, within the past two
years than have within like period
ever before been made in any county in
this State; and yet, Mono was overrun
with prospectors as much as l6 or IL
years ago, and afterwards almost totally
abandoned, simply because the first crop
OF prospeotors lacked the pluck-or
rather, perhaps we should say, the means
to open up the gold-bearing lodes that
80 abound here to even the most incon-
siderable depths. California, the most
thoroughly explored and extensively
worked of all our Pacific Coast posses
sions, after thirty years. mining ex-
pefience. remains to energetic enterprise,
backed by ample peouniary means, an
almost virgin field, the whole State from
San Diego to Siskiyou being full of IN.
developed and undiscovered mines of
gold and silver. In scarifying the sur
face here and there we have scratched
out the more superficial deposits of gold
dust, but have as yet done hardly any
thing towards developing the deep.lying
placers or the metaliferous veins-tha
sources OF much larger and more per-
manent wealth.
