EDITOR SENTINEL: Memorial chapels
make nice monuments, and lasting ones,
too, when constructed OF such enduring
and costly material as that to be employed
in the construction Of the one which will
soon cover the remains Of the late d. d.
Cotton, of Central Pacific memory. How
nice to be a millionaire. 1t was reported
at the time Of his death that he left but a
comparatively insignificant estate behind
him. This may be so, yet there is good
reason for doubling it. When the heirs of
a man, who dies possessed Of only a few
paltry thousands, are able to spend so large
a sum as SAG, 600, which sum is to be the
price Of General Colton's marble mauso-
leum, on a monument to his memory. we
may well be pardoned for being skeptical.
The chapel, which has been designed bv
Mrs. Cotton, will be thirty feet square, and,
IL l rightly remember, thirty feet high,
and of the most elaborate workmanship
and finish. Blu / refer those who want
more details to this mornings papers, and
SO dismiss the subject, with the u~tterance
OF the customary benediction, "Requiescat
in pace, leaving to General Colton's future
biographer, whoever he may be, the task of
recountlng his virtues.
silver APPRECIATION
Has become so marked of late as to give
rise to the hope that it will become more
marked as the future advances, and thus
give an increased value to one of our great
est, most enduring and profitable indus
tries. Mining is an honorable and lcgiti-
mate business, if honorably and legiti-
mately conducted but. alas it is not
much to its injury. The mines are all
right. were they only honestly managed,
and the rights Of their shareholders re-
spected by the cormorants in power. The
silver mines OF the coast are as enduring as
the mountains upon whose sides and sum-
mits they are located. The teachings of
history prove this. Every hole in which
silver ores may be found is, however, not a
mine. 10 true silver mine ever vet entirely
gave out. The Comstock will continue to
yield its treasures for generations yet I'M
born. The mines Of Asturia, in Spain,
worked many centuries before the Chris
tan era, are not yet exhausted. Imagine,
then, the future before this coast before
this city and its people, who will be the
most largely benefited by the product of
those mines. This is the center of the
mining world of the Pacific, and its growth
and future prosperity depends, in a great
measure, upon the success Of the mines. /
notice that
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT,
Buchard, places the gold and silver yield
OF the Pacific States and Territories for the
year at-approximately, of course-S7S,-
400, 900, apportioned as follows Califor-
mia, $40, 000, 900; Nevada, $50, $50, coo; Col
orado, S14, 925, 900; Utah, Sc, 825, 900; Mon
tana, 81, 725, 900 Arizona, So, 800, 900; Da-
kota, 81, 430, 900 Idaho, 81, $50, 600 ; Ore
gon, Sl,l70, 900 /; New Mexico, S725, 900
Michigan, $3.50, 900 in silver; other sources,
s372, oO0-the whole making the grand
total given above. The showing here made
sustains the reputation Of California, whose
entire silver product is estimated at less
than $500, 900. The product OF the Gold
en- State shows an appreciate increase,
while that of the Silver State exhibits a
lamentable falling of. when compared with
that of preceding years. Colorado next
wheels into line in point of Importance aud
productibility, and the chances are strong
ly III favor OF its becoming, in the near fu-
ture, one of our largest treasure producers.
MoNooLIAN MOVEMENTS.
John is going, though slowly. and with
evident reluctance. The exodus has at
length set Chinawards and elsewhere. and
long may 1t SO continue. But, despite all
this, we still have a sufficient number left
to afford ample evsngelization employ ent

tanio brethren, besides making a mark for

H DEBRIS QUESTION.
Involving as it does the partial destruction
OF two Of the leading industries Of this
State, is one Of considerable importance.
And that it is thus viewed by the indGstri-
Gus, thinking masses, is evident from the
interest which they manifest in it. Neither
set will give way nor yield n jot Of its
claims to the other. The miner being the

ton which followed him. claims b y right,

or hindrance from him who followed him
westward-the farmer-the great industry
which he inaugurated, and which he still
fosters by his muscle and money. His re-
