MINING IN Ell DORADO COUNTY,
CALIFORNIA
COMMUNICATED.

Mining has here been one of the principal
employments since the days when men threw
off the trammels of civilization and followed
the tickle goddess only to be rewarded by
flap jacks and disappointments. Perhaps
no other county in the State affords SO many
phases of this branch of industry, or has
yielded such large returns. The hills and
ravines about Placervile are literally scanned
with the precious metal; Coon Hollow has
been scraped to the bedrock, and disinte
grated debris reworked until there is scarcely
a trace of the original soil. The mines in the
Hollow are hydraulic. The hills are first
tunneled a short distance and then caved
down by the hydraulic hose. The whole
process bears a species Of fascination akin to
stock gambling. There is pile of tailings
were assessed some years since at one hundred
thousand dollars. These lie disintegrating in
the sun, and sometime in the future will reward
faithful industry by second nest Of golden
eggs. Cinnamon are at work in the old
Weaver Greek bed with water wheel and bed
rock siuice, cleaning up. This specimen of
advanced" civiiz ltion looks out of place
among the honest old hills, and the water
whirs down its muddy channel with sulen
roar as if Inundated. Many a poor fellow
has left his bones to whiten in the sunshine
on these very hills, while his spirit went out
to the great unknown. Thls creek used to
be tickle stream, and sudden rains would
change it's whole aspect in short time.
Many a helpless wretch has gone down with
its currents For several years the mines
were almost at stand still Men We're
afraid to invest. If an expert Wis its the
county even now, he is met by discoura 9ing
accounts of the industry Of the people. II
has been said that in these regions, especially,
the electric process might be utilized with
great success. With furnace large enough
to roast the rock in moderate quantities, and
pans for amalgamating, grea .er results might
be obtained and at one third the expense.
Electricity is a faithful servant, and it is
nothing strange that it has been set to work
not crushing, but disintegrating the most
hinty crystal, the most rebellious ore rock
SO that it may be crushed between the fingers
Of delicate hand. The mines AT Greenwood
are attracting the attention of San Francisco
aud ere long the bulls and bears
will be believing, making the hills echo the
sound. A few enterprising, practical miners
woald soon develop rich results in this
There are several rich leads lying
die within ten miles of the railroad depot,
and it is a significant fact that while hordes
IF tramps are dsgracing the State, fortunes
lie within the sound of their footsteps.

In THE railroad fight in California, the diff

figures in such an argument. The facts are

THE FUTURE OF OUR BOYS.

Any man who has noticed the manner IN
which our boys are reared in the Pacific States
cannot but have serious doubts about the
future generation. Boys, more than almost any
other class reflect the character of our civiliza-
ton, for like the soft brick, they receive i'm
pressions easily, and these impressions become
iDdelible as the brick is hardened. The his
tory of Assyria and Egypt is written upon
their pottery and dobes; ineffaceable until the
material containing them is ground again INTO
youth of our land, history which shall tell to
future generations our advance and ourfall?
"As the twig is bent the tree is inclined" is
an old and true saying. SolOmons advice
co." an old friend used to parody it, in view of
this subject as applied to our civilization;
'train up child and away he goes. The
boy is father to the man and the careless
training of our boys, gives but poor hope for
their manhood In old countries, where age
and caste are always acknowledged; boys are
boys till they are men; in our Older States,
where strict morals are incucated, We do not
find, except among the degraded outcast lot,
the evidence Of hoodumism which we see
among our brighter boys of this Coast The
blasphemy and vulgarity which we overlook
here would not be tolerated there; boy I'M
der twenty-One, dare not enter saloon, or
approach a billiard table-men would leave a
place which permitted it; but with us, it is no
rare thing-I do not speak Of Carson, but the
scattered camps-to see boys of from fifteen
to twenty engaged in both cards and billiards
with full grown men. From such training
what kind of harvest shall we reap? We
know full well that thousands of good and
great men, have sprung from no better sources
and been educated in no better schools; but
they were the exceptions. We can only hope
to reap as we SOW: men do not gather grapes
of thorns or iIs of thstles, and our rising
generation, with such examples before them,
and possessed of all the liberties of full man
hood, if they rise to any degree of respecta-
on the face of the earth. The negative and
positive are both against them. They are
being educated under system which can pro-
duce no good results, and which under GER
tain contingencies must lead to bad. Our
system is likely to produce great and string
men, but it is as likely to produce eminently
bad ones. 1t is the ground in which strong
and marked character, either for good or bad,
grows, and requires the most careful caltiva-
ton and we look, now and then, with fear and
trembling, when studying our advanced and
precocious youth.

HERE'S good one from the San Francisco
Post
The Leitrim family own about 50, 900 acres
of land, more or less, IN Ireland. The land
is occupied and cultivated by Irish tenants
They receive low wages and are compelled to
work early and late If they make any i'm
provements they belong to the lord. They
may be disposessed at any moment.
That the estate is worked by Irish tenants
is true-there are no others there that they
receive low wages is too true but that they
can be dispossessed at any moment, and that
all their improvements belong to the lord, is
the sheerest nonsense Leases run generally
for long period, and a landlord can only
break them for delinquency, and they are
all transferable. improvements are usually
made by the proprietor, not the tenant. If
he wants tiles for new roof or for floors
they are furnished by the agent, and if he
wants any kind or trees, either timber, shade
or fruit, they are furnished from the nursery
of the estate His only other Improvement
is getting all he can out of the soil.
