The causes operating TO bring subsid-

world. The last quotations were 5oHd.
tho Ounce. whilo the pNr Of silver with
gold Go%d. the ounce. The real causes
are that tho shower OF silver from
abroad, which was apprehonded on tho
resumption of specie payments, has
como to on end, and has not boon
largo enough to produce bad effects. and
that tho wants Of tho country for silver
change aro increasing 10 such m extent
that the East is absorbing the surplus
which'whs heretofore maintained here.
The strong probability OF the passage
by Congress OF tho bill increasing tho

THE Virginia CHroniele snys:

Parties who come up to this city from
Sutro remark that Virginia looks dull
alongside Of the bustling little village
at the outlet of tho tunnel. Everything
there has the appearance Of life and
activity. The boarding houses are all
crowded, md new buildings are going
up daily. Miners can at n days notice
get a rough board cabin built, which
they can lease Of the builder for 81 so
q month.
After the sub.drain is finished the
tunnel will have to be widened and an.
other track laid over the drain. This,
it is estimated, will keep 100 pien en-
ployed for about two years. In n con.
versation n few days ago Mr.. Suuo said
that for at least two years ho expected
to employ about 400 men regularly.
Some Of the Sutro people say that

The Lcnpnrd Mine.

The following very favorable account
Of present developments and prospects
in this we'll known Cornucopia mine
has just been furnished to the Tunes Re
rie,c. during an interview with Mr. John
Wilson, Superintendent:
Sometime ago, about so feet south
OF the shaft ni the 7OO.foot level, n vsin
OF ore ten or twelve inches in thickness
was struck. The entire vein is high
grade ore. assaying from 500 to $500
per ton. A lateral drift Slong the ledge
was then run south $50 feet. when the
lode was cross cut at a point 200 feet
south Of the shaft. This is known as
cross.cut No. l.. Tho ledge there is
fully two feet wide and of about the
same quality of ore as at the place
where the connection was first made.
About 80 feet north Of .cross-cut No.
1. tho ledge has again been penetrated;
or at least a shot was put in before >ur
informant left C~ornucopia, which ex-
posed n body Of ore similar to those be-
fore alluded to. These constitute the
Developments in the 700'foot level. AT
the 500, the cross-cut has been run west
81 feet. The formation is extremely
hard and but slow progress has hereto
fore been mado. According to the dip
of the'hard formation above. Mt this
depth about ten feet more will bring the
cross cut into softer ground, md Mr..
Wilson estimates that from 20 e 100
feet further will make the conn" elton
with the ledge, and that the latter will
be effected in the course Of from 80 to
40 days from the present time. The
700-foot level shows a decided improve.
ment over the 600. Everything indi.
Gates that the veins and streaks in the
ledge matter concentrate below. and 1t
is highly probable that a still moro fa.
vorable showing will be made when the
connection is made at the 800. I'd 81.

The necessity for further legislation
upon the subject Of silver as money, is
recognized by Congress. and it is to be
hoped that the work left undone touch
ing this matter by the last Congress,
may DO faithfully performed by the
present body. We are glad to notice
that some Of the Eastern members are
adopting In this connection, some Of
the views SO generally advsneed and
ably supported by the press Of this
coast. During q discussion Of the bill
to amend the coinage laws. in the
House, on Wednesday last, Mr.. Ewing.
of Ohio, said: "The first and most
serious objection to the bill was that the
Government would lose the difference
between the present bullion value and
coin value of silver. He understood an
amendment was being considered by
the friends Of the bill which would
meet this objection. That amendment
provided that in the issue of certificates
for bullion they should be issued only
for the market price OF bullion, leaving
the coinage free and unlimited. He
would be quite satisfied to have that
amendment adopted provided it left sill
yer its full character Of money metal.
II all the silver IN tho world were
dumped into the United States mints it
would not umount to 800, 900, 600. He
opposed Mr.. Kimmels' amendment rails
