Getting Mining Information.

We can endorse, partially at least, says
the New York Mining News, the following
paragraph from Bullion. We do not be-
lieve in childish abuse of mine operators
who profit through the stock market by
their inside information. We never ex-
pect to see a mine manager, or a railroad
manager, or q coal importer, or a kid
glove manufacturer, who would not profit
in like manner
Some time since a well known operator
placed q mining stock on this market. We
knew him to be shrewd, but slow, and be-
lieyed him honest, as We do yet. He said
little about his mine, but got o company
together quietly, and listed the stock. He
indicated the price he thought the stock
would reach in a few months, but before
it was called at the Board it had passed
beyond that. We asked him the reason /:
1.-THE public have taken it out of my
hands, and they are too - brasil" was
his reply. at all comes of a GROVE OF
reporters putting out exciting things"
Within q short time the stock was away
down, and then the press belabored him
for an uns,:rupulous manipulation. We
have seen several such experiences, and
have no hest sancy in saying that as much
of the wild fluctuations and panics OF the
mining stock market is due to the iguor-
ant zeal of the local press to be first to
puff and first to curse, as to the manipu-
lations of the wner When the invest
ing public take the news of the so-called
Mining Departments" as merely business
notices for mining cards. there will be in
initely less I'm anipulation."

A whisky Bonanza.

From the Nevada Monthly for July.l
The most interesting strike Of anything
yet encountered in boring for oil. coal or
anything in the bowels Of the earth was
recently experienced by a rancher on the
Missouri river. He was boring for water,
and after running his auger through .
woody formation a most grateful smell
came up. and the borings had such a sus-
picious flavor that he dropped the suction
Of his pump into the hole and to his de-
lighted surprise he commenced pumping
up pure whisky and of a choice. smooth
quality. Land in the immediate vicinity
arose at once to fabulous figures. and
everybody vent to boring, but non struck
the whisky vein. About this time some
body remembered that about twenty years
ago the steamer Arabian sank in the river
thereabouts with six hundred barrels of
whisky on board. The current of the river
went on changing, and now the place where
the steamer sank is dry land and the for
gotten wreck is buried forty feet in the
sand. Every body quit boring forthwith
and tried to buy out the first locator. But
the happy possessor would not sell. He
has sunk a shaft and is running side drifts
and cross cuts among old barrels in his
whisky bonanza, has built q fine building
over his hosting works and has seven bar
keepers constantly employed.

An American, a real American, Is q con-
tact vein. The East country may be an
Englishman, an Irishman, o Frenchman,
or IN Italian, the West country may be
Scotch, Spanish, Dutch, German. Slav or
Scandinavian. The lead itself may occa-
sionally be rich in precious metals, but the
majority is base with not over thirty-three
per cent. Of anything Of value. and carry
ing a combination Of rebeliious elements
which makes it the toughest mess to reduce
in the world. Many Of these veins look
well, but the pay chimneys are narrow,
and frequently a crosscut on the lower lev
els shows that they are barren. There are
no veins in the world with larger crop
pings, none that promise more as you COM
mence to work, but many will not make
even babbit metal. Thousands are mere
blotches and pinch before they are worked
q year. 1t takes twenty-one years to get
one of them into working shape, and then
it is frequently ten years more before a
dividend can be counted upon. No other
veins require SO many and so heavy assess
ments. In working these veins water is
seldom any trouble, but often just when
fullest Of promise a spring OF Bourbon is
tapped which foods the pumps and shuts
down the mine permanently. Some are
like the Bullion on the Comstock. They
show a lively sort of quartz on the surface,
but too low grade to be of practical value,
bonanzas are ever found. But SOM are
richer than was Mexico or Peru. The
Daniel Webster bonanza paid daily for
forty years, and some of the richest mug
gets were unearthed just before the final
cave. The Andrew Jackson bonanza was
a sublime one though it was found against
all geological laws in q volcanic formation.
But the chief value is not as a rule in the
great veins that require heavy machinery
and extensive reduction works, but in the
little assures all over the country that are
not very rich but continuous and 80 easily
worked that a weak woman can manage
them, and a two-year-old baby can make
them give up ore. These are really valu-
able, and the strength of the country real
ly rests on them because the larger leads
frequently cost more than they are worth.
In the foregoing we have not mentioned
the pure wild cats. There are millions Of
them that on the surface sometimes have
fair indications, but on depth being at

and not worth the powder to blast them.
We trust from the foregoing our CORES
pendent will understand the whole bust

The Reason of

The Bodie Standard-News prints the fol-
lowing: Everybody asks what is the reason
Of the present scarcity Of coin, and yet
nobody has properly solved the question,
and the man who is competent to do so, if
such there be on the Pacific Coast, will be
held up as the greatest benefactor to his
country while living, and have marble
monuments erected to his memory after he
shall have shuf1ed off his mortal coil.
This is a nation Of guessers and so it may
not be amiss to make q few suggestive
guesses on this very important subject.
The Nevada Bank in San Francisco is
owned and run by the very worst money
grabbers in California. Men whose souls
are so enthusiastically small that all natu-
raj feeling seems dead in them. The Bank
of California, and other banks on the
Coast, are in the same category as far as
accommodation goes. 1t is a grab game
throughout, and so the people have to suf-
fer. 1t is said by some that the holders OF
Comstock stock are bearing that of the
Bodie mines with a view to first effecting q
raise in their mines, but there does not
seem to be much sense in the proposition.
Mines are worked more economically in
this section than any other on the Pacific
Coast and should be dividend paying when
Comstock mines are levying assessments.
The fact is that the aggregation of immense
wealth in the hands of a few is the cause Of
suffering and loss among the masses, and
here is the milk in the %cocoanut. To en-
edy this evil is the grand question. Strict
economy among the laboring classes may
effect much good. Refusing to purchase
mining stocks on margins might compel
the very wealthy to open their money-baRs
and there may be other methods Of avert
ing bankruptcy from the business men OF
this and other mining localities. We shall
be glad to hear from those better able to
suggest a method for bringing about live
lier times.

GENERAL GRANT AS A MINER.
How the stock of the "a Pedro
Doomed ON his Election to the
Presidency Of the Com pany.

The telegraph announced the election Of
OF General Grant to the presidency of a
mining company last week. The New York
Mining News makes this reference to the
property Of General Grants Company,
and how his election sent the stock boom
ing:
The San Pedro and Canon de Laguna
Company has a nominal capital of S10,-
900, 900, divided into S25 shares. 1t is
organized under the laws OF the State of
Connecticut, having its principal Office at
No. II Devonshire street, Boston. 1t is
said that the company has secured the
services of superintendent Gillette. who
was for a long time the superintendent Of
j. w. Mackey's Savage mines. General
Grant, so those interested in the company
say, is expected here next month, and will
spend his time as President of the Com
pany both in this city and in Boston.
When the rumor was set afloat that Gen.
eral Grant had been elected President, the
stock went up from 81 so per share to 50,
and yesterday upon confirmation Of the
fact of the election, vas quoted $3A bid.
This was at the close of business. Mr..
Jesse Grant, who is in business in this
city. is reported as saying that he has no
information that his father, from whom
he hears regularly, intends to come to
New York to live or to engage in a mining
enterprise.

The Criticism of n Critic Criti-
sized.

EDITOR SENr1SEL--The San Francisco
Chronicle Of July 3fst has an article based
On q Chicago journals article from the
Census Bureau as to the increase in South
ern cities, arguing that there has been
wholesale perjury by the census takers Of
the South for the purpose of keeping po-
litical supremacy.
There is not q word said about any wrong
in the old Northern States, though the in
crease in many places is almost as incredi-
BILE as they we'll could be. All Of these
Radical charges against the South grows
out of a wish expressed and hoped for.
that the Southern States would lose, while
the Northern and Republican States would
increase, and thus give that party the as
cendancy in the National Assembly. 1t is
claimed that the immigration has not been
South, and for reasons, ask il people will
go where the taxes are so high as to mean
confiscation. Showing a deep-laid scheme

is certain that the entire system was, and
is, to Cypress the South for all time to
come, and to do this legislation was 80
shaped as to leave them but little chance
ever to recover or have any political infiu-
ence; and now seeing their days are num-
bered and their last hopes about to be de-
stroyed, a howl is raised against the census
takers in the Southern States. A system
has been inaugurated by Radicals Of turn
ing all immigrants north or to the north
west. and even an effort to move the negroes
to Democratic States for base purposes;
but it seems to have been money spent in
vain, and why should they be disap-
pointed? They admit that the Sunny
South is the Paradise of the world for eli
mate, soil and all advantages pertaining to
civilized life. Extreme Radical men seek
a home there, and since the great war,
thousands of those who we're soldiers have
moved to the country they first saw while
soldering, many of whom were Democrats
then. and still adhere to the grand old
party, headed by Hancock and English.
What is known as solid South will soon be
a solid South and North under one strong
Democratic faith. R.
