Dc Lssssps and His Critics.
Ns,o York Nail.

n. do Lesssps has this advantage over
Americans 10 the controversy concerning
the inter-ocesnio canal. He vigorously
sets about putting his theories to . prsc.
teal test. while his severest critics are
seemingly doing little moro than talk.
It is very we'll for Admiral Ammen to
assert In q sharp article in the North
american that N. do Lesseps cannot
secure the funds for the execution Of his
scheme, and prove that the Panama
route is utterly impractioable, bat II the
courageous Frenchman deliberately takes
money from France aud England and
digs his canal. the logic Of Admiral
Ammen falls to the ground. To speak
plainly, the time for . controversy Of
words has passed, and the time for
action has now come. II the American
people have no leaders who a take up
the practical work OF constructing
canal by the Nicaragua route, q discreet
silence is to DO preferred to q continue.
ton OF carpina criticism because some
one else has undertaken to achieve . re-
suit to which we must confess ourselves
unequal. There Is, In the estimation OF
the world. q presumption in favor OF q
man who, like NJ. do Lesseps. sets
about the execution Of his great plans,
and unless American engineers soon do
something more than talk about how an
interoceanic canal should DO built, they
must expect to lose something Of the
confidence OF the public.

Nevada copDsr Mines.
Silrer State. jan. &c.


The price Of copper has materially
advanced IN the past month or two, and
copper mines are again being sought for
by capitalists. This circumstances re-
minds us OF the fact that there are
extensive coppsr-bsarine leads in the
Harmony range OF mountains, within
five miles OF this town. One Of these
lodges crops out at intervals for o dis.
lance Of half q mile. and specimens Of
the ore taken from the groupings three
feet above the surface Of the ground
carry over 80 per cent. OF metal. Numer.
ous copper veins are known to exist in
the range. only . few Of which have
been located, and all OF which can be
had at q triding cost. Now that copper
Is going up and IL In demand, these
mines ought to be developed. They are
situated not more than Ave miles from
tho depot. and are easy Of access at all
seasons OF the year. How permanent or
valuable they may be has to be deter.
mined. as none Of them have been pros.
pected to any extent, but that the lodges
crop out boldly and contain rich ores Ut
the surface, are indisputable facts.
