Financial Crisis IN Canada.

Our Canadian neighbors are ust now ax-
periencing period Of extreme fnancia3 de-
pressiony the stringency of the times being
greater ssaan ever before in the historT Of
the country. Although one bank after aa-
other has closed its doors it is believed taat
the worst point has not yet been reachsd.
The excitement is intense throughout tie
Dominion, and particularly at Montreal.
The last craeh reported is-the failure of tire
Vile Marie bank on the Sth inst, but the
officers of this institution claim that they
closed for prudential reasons, and announce
their liabilities as $997,7g5, against 81 1857
314 assets. Of course there has been q
great shrinkage in the assets but the ban 4
expects to he able to pay all demands IN
full if sufi cient time is allowed to close up
affairs satisfactorily. The commencement
Of this trouble in Montreal was the failure
of the Consolidated bank, which closed it's
doors on the 5ast of July. This was the re"
suit of the failure of the Bcyal Canadian
bank of Ontario. Subsequently the E1s
change bank followed in TIE wake of the
others, and the Hochelaga bank is the Mex
one expected 20 succumb to- the pressures
The run upon the savings banks has been
sae most serioas that has ever taken place
IN Montreal. The deposits amount, in tho
aggregate, to s3,o0o,ooO, nearly all belong
ing to the working classes. although these
events have given rise to general depre-
citation of confidence in the minor banking
institutions, nearly all of than claim to he
be able to make their depositors good
among those thought to be N the best coa'
dition are the Consolidated and Exchange
banks, which will probably settle at par
with depositors, and redeem all their bills,
but the stockholders will BE- heavy losers.
Forty per cent. of the capital OF the 8z-
change bank will be sacrificed. So far the
banks themselves are the principal sufferers
from the panic, but this state of things can
not continue long without Involving nearly
all branches of trade in serious difficulty, if
not needless disaster.

IT is estimated that over 100000 peo-
pie have taken up homes in the west and
south in the past five years. Of this
number not over 100000 can possibly
have been supplied by foreign immigra-
tion, the rest of the total of 100000
immigrants in those years straying east
or in towns or cities of the Pacific. At
least 1,SS0,000 people have, heretofore,
gone from the east and from Virginia
and Kentucky in the last five years, over
100000 of them during 1878 and 1879.

Lands Thrown Open to Settlement.

The president by executive order has re.
stored to the public domain S,25S,25O acres
on the northeastern bank of the Missouri
river, corresponding in general outlines to
the area withdrawn by executive orders of
Jan. II, and May 8, 1875, now revoked.
Small sections of territory Immediately ad.
joining Grand river, Cheyenne and Indian
Rock agencies are still withheld. It was
intended when the orders now revoked were
issued to keep the whites from pressing too
closely upon the Sioux Indians, but in prac.
tice it was found orders did not prevent
trespass by reckless frontiersmen who
preyed alike upon peaceable whites and
Indians, hence the lands are again thrown
open to settlement.

TIE drink-maddened young king of
Burmah is not content with endangering
his relations with the British govern
ment, but is doing his best to weaken
the allegiance of his own people. The
taxation imposed by bis government is
so excessive as to have become unbeara-
BILE, and the result is that at Rharno, an
important town on the Irrawaddy, 8
popular rising has taken place against
the government. As there are no royal
troops in the place, it is not improbable
that the rising may make considerable
Roadway before measures can be taken to
suppress it, and that the example thus
ct may be followed in other places.

IT is difficult in the present day to
realize the fact that wheat was ut one
time unknown in America; yet prior to
the discovery of this continent by
Columbus there was no cereal in Amer
lea approaching in nature to the wheat
plant. It was not, observes the Ameri-
can Miller, until 1880 that wheat found
its way into Mexico, and then only by
chance. A slave of Cortez found few
grains of wheat in a parcel of rice and
showed them to his master, who ordered
them to be planted. The result showed
that wheat would thrive well on Next
can soil; and to-day one of the finest
wheat valleys in the world is near the
MEXICAN capital. From Mexico the
cereal found its way to Peru. Marie
DEscobar, wife of Don Diego de
Chauves, carried few grains to Lima,
which were planted, the entire product
being used for seed for several crops. At
Quito, Ecuador, a monk of the order OF
st. Francis, by the name of Fray Jedosl
Bixi, introduced new cereal; and it is
said that the jar which contained the
seeds is still preserved by the monks OF
Quito. Wheat was introduced into the
presentlimits of the United States con-
temporaneously with the settlement OF
tn country by the English and Dutch.

AN old resident in the vicinity Of the
Niagara Falls says that nothing so helps
the patronage of the Falls as for some
body to be carried over them; that the
arrivals at the hotels are always from 20
to 80 per cent larger for few days after
distressing accident. During the week
following the sad death of the young
Belgian wife who recently tumbled into
the rapids and was swept to destruc-
ton, there must have been 500 or
people here who would not have come
had the tragedy not occurred. They all
went to the spot on Goat Island where
she had fallen in, and looked at it in
tently, as if the ghost might repeat the
melancholy scene for their benefit.

SLAVERY.
A Practical illustration of Its
Workings.

n 1S
Workings.
In~disputable evidence, says the Silver
Reef Miner" if further evidence were re-
quired to show that slavery of the worst
form exists among the Chinese Companies
doing business on this coast, is furnished
right here in Silver Reef, in the capture
and return to servitude Of an absconding
female for whom a reward of $50 was paid
by her owner. The owner Of said slave
comes to the office of this paper to adver-
Use his lost property just as a negro owner
would have done in the Sonth IS years ago.
The difference between the slavery Of Hop
Lee and that of the quondam negro owner
of Mississippi and Louisiana is, that the
former is a thousand times more debasing
than the latter. The female slave in the
South, while she was required to perform
mental labor, was taught morality and an
observance Of the doctrines of Christianity,
but the Chinese woman is compelled to be
a courtesan Of the lowest order. But Chi
nese slavery does not stop with the women.
The men are also slaves, owned by rich
companies who capture their refugees a la
Hop Lee. The little episode written up in
our columns is a thing of almost daily oc-
currence on the coast, and known to every.
body but the pious fools of the Eastern
States who can discern only in the Mon,
golian race extreme industry. Perhaps
the Rev. Joseph Cook, during his visit to
San Francisco, may get it driven through
his inert brain that a worse than African
slavery exists in the United States, and is
becoming stronger year by year through
the Misrepresentation of religious fanatics
like himself.

FROM LAKE DISTRICT.
Robert Barton's Prediction Of the

Of h ComstOck.

Robert Barton's Prediction Of the
New D~0radO-The Coming Rival
Of h ComstOck.
Robert Barton, the well-known mining
capitalist, returned from a flying visit to
the much talked Of Lake District, yestcr-
day, says the Virginia Chronicle" aud
went below from Carson last evening. Mr..
Barton made critical examination OF the
other Of the more promising mines, and
speaks in terms Of the greatest enthusiasm
Of the district. He regards the Mammoth
ledge as one of the most important dis
c~overies ever made outside Of the Com
stock. Mammoth City is rapidly building
up. and the road from Bodie is lined with
freight teams carrying supplies to the new
camp. A daily line Of stages is now
running from Bodie to Mammoth, and
the agent of the Haynie telegraph
is now at the latter place arrang-
ing for the extension of the Bodie
wire to the new district. A saddle train is
also running from Fresno Flats, across the
mountain to Mammoth, making tri- weekly
trips. carrying passengers from the latter
place to the Southern Pacific Railroad for
SIT. Through fare from San Francisco to
Mammoth, S23. Besides the freight teams
that are carrying supplies to Lake via
Bodie, the Cerro Gordo Freighting Com
pany are sending in enormous wagons by
way Of Mobave. Freight by that line is
said to be cheaper than by the Bodie route,
goods being landed at Mammoth from San
Francisco at four and a quarter cents a
pound; time, Is days. Mr.. Barton adds
that, in his opinion, the new camp will
have a population of 1000 before the first
SHOWS Of next Winter. There are now
fully 500 people there.

utters this beautiful sentiment
"Let the woman you look upon be wise
or vain, beautiful or homely, rich or poor.
she has but one thing she can really give
or refuse-her heart. Her beauty, her wit,
her accomplishments, she may sell you
but her love is the treasure without money
and without price. She only asks in re-
turn that when you look upon her, your
eyes shall speak a mute devotion n
when you address her, your voice shall be
& mile, loving and kind that you shall not
despise her because she can not under
stand, all at once, your vigorous thoughts
and ambitious plans, for when misfortune
aud evil have defeated your greatest pur-
pose. her love remains to console you.
You look unto the tree for strength and
grandeur do not despise the flowers be-
cause their fragrance is all they have to
give. Remember, love is all a m can
give. but it is the only thing which God
permits us to carry beyond the grave"

BRIDGEPORT, CAL, June IA, 1879.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Prescott District is
located in Mono county-approximstely
the centre Of the District embraces Mono
Lake, q body Of alkali water. The inter-
section Of AZ deg. west of Washington
due So deg. north, is about the middle Of
the lake. The District lies south of Bodie
about % miles, and is about IL miles in
length north and south, by 10 miles wide
east and west, and the mineral belt is a
strict continuation Of the Bodie deposition.
A large stream Of fresh, pure water
traverses the entire length Of the District,
and cuts or crosses nearly all tue principal
lodges, ~obliquely, in two instances, to the
depth Of about 600 feet. The banks OF
this stream are covered with q growth Of
large timber-tamarack prevailing. The
entire eastern slope, from the summit to
tie stream, aid in fact over the entire vol
canic range to the southwark Of Bodie, is
mineral bearing. The ore bodies are so
large and well defined that but little Of the
usual sinking has been done. But a large
number Of satisfactory tests have been
made, and the great value Of the ore bodies
firmly established, by assays made in San
Francisco, Bodis, Aurora, Carson Mint,
Benton, etc., as well as in Lake District,
which is located south Of Prescott, upon
the head waters OF Owen river.
Aside from Rush creek. the stream above
referred to, there are several other streams
emptying into Mono Lake, affording q
practically unlimited water power for all
purposes Of mining and milling. The as
says that have been made upon random
ore, have run from $35 to $l25 per ton,
yielding go per cent. gold and 40 per cent.
silver, upon the average. One of the

quite, 100 feet, most of it free milling ore.
