An Ancient Industry that Is Capa
BILE of Standing on Its Own Legs.

VIC w HbthhNhhUS OH AtS OWhA 11ckSs
The New York Stock Report says: A
correspondent asks us why we do not refer
more frequently to the legitimacy Of min
ing as a business. One reason is that
we are not in the habit of saying two and
two make four, or constantly repeating
any self-evident proposition. To read
some mining papers, one would suppose
that mining was something new, that un-
less perpetually bolstered up, it would be
apt to sink out of sight. Mining has got
good strong legs of its own to stand on,
having passed the crawling epoch several
thousand years before these sapient editors
were born /; and to be constantly harping
on the benefits Of mining, is as childish as
it would be to dwell on the benefits Of
growing wheat, or sheep raising, or the
usefulness Of leather.
Mines were worked successfully centur-
les before tobacco or whisky were known,
and if more money is to-day expended in
the consumption Of these two latter pro-
ducts than in the prosecution Of mining,
it is because the mining field is more cir
cumscribed, but the net products Of mines
have always been found powerful auxiliar-
les in procuring these staples. Mining,
itself. has always been, and always will be.
a legitimate and profitable business, while
gold and silver are in demand as money,
jewelry, or the thousand and n purposes
of use and ornament to which they have
ever been applied.
The profits Of legitimate mining would
have been considered too ancient q subject
for discussion in the Ark, and Noah would
have thrust oht into the cold, damp
world, any n abiding to it, with as
much gusto as some Of our Pinafore en-
thusiasts are elected from our modern
saloons, when they venture on, What,
never?"
Mines, when they are mines at all, are
| all right, and if properly and economically
tenths Of them will prove profitable. Our
experience has taught us that mining
stocks do not always represent mines, and
it is one of the duties Of q mining paper to
expose the wolves who masquerade about
in sleeps clothing in pursuit of victims
The elimination Of the wolf element in
| the mining business is an absolute neces-
sity for its protection and growth, while
in present hands /; but should these de-
stroying elements continue to the injury
| Of good mining schemes, the good mines
will still exist, and will eventually bt
worked with profit by some one who has
been able to distinguish between whea'
and chat.
A good mine is practically indestructiblt
some one has got or will get the increase
II the substance is there, it must CONF
out, and ia as certain to benefit somebody
as the sun is to rise and set therefore ii
it not somewhat superfiuous to dwell con
~tinually' on the benefits of mining? :.
To help the legitimate investor in tn
search for what is good, and to turn thu
light on many pitfalls which are laid II
the dark to entrap him, is the highest mis-
sion of a reputable mining paper.

A Nasty Nuisance.

Not long since our Sheriff published q
notice in these columns warning everyone
against depositing offal. manure or dead
animals on the fat adjacent to the Eureka
Cemetery. This order was needed for
some weeks, but within the past few days
some dead horses have been dragged to q
point q little beyond where the old nuis-
ance used to exist, and the carcasses are
now giving forth a very bad stencil. TRAY
elers to and from the Hill get the full ben.
eft Of 1t, and are complaining bitterly.
The owner OF the animals is known, and
should be prosecuted, either by the Of
fcers, II in their province, or the propr.e-
tor OF the land. r. Ryland. Several high
ways, much frequented by teams and Pc
dsssr:ans, pass near the spot, and q COM
mon regard for decency should have
prompted the man to have snaked his old
crowbaits down the canyon instead Of put
ting them directly under the public nose.

THE OCEAN SHORE ROAD.

cisco and Otber Particulars.
The telegraph the other day announced
the breaking Of ground at San francisco
on the Ocean Shore road, which is designed
to be the Western Division OF the Califor-
mia Central, projected across our State.
The Stock Exchange of the 30th says:
Ground was broken yesterday near Lake
MERGED for the San Francisco 4 Ocean
Shore Railroad, which will run between
this city and Santa Cruz, and ultimately
form o division Of the California Central,
which is projected to New Orleans via
Utah. The San Francisco & Ocean Shore
road will have its depot in the vicinity Of
the new City Hall, but the railroad will
only be allowed to run steam ears to Full
ton and Devisadero streets. The line will
run out Fulton street, which bounds the
park on the north as far as the beach, and
along the beach to Santa Cruz.
Colonel Bridges, who is Superintendent
and engineer both Of the Ocean Shore and
California Central is somewhat reticent,
but states hat the work will be vigorously
RiOocCuttu DctNtCu HOEo anu OhIth OIuL.
He states that there are several points
along the line which may be converted into
watering places that will rival Coney Is
land, N. Y. Among them are Half-moon
Bay, Pescadero and San Pedro. Tests OF
the temperature of the water at Coney
Island and at the places above mentioned
have been made simultaneously, and the
result was greatly in favor of the Pacific
Coast resorts. He states that a depot will
be located near the new City Hall in this
city, and passengers will be taken to and
returned from one Of the above places for
the sum Of fifty cents. That n Of them
which will be selected will rival Coney Is
land as a popular bathing and Summer re-
sort, he has no doubt, as buildings and
improvements will be erected upon the
beach that will equal or excel those at
Coney Island.
The officers OF the road are: President,
W. W. Walker; President, Robert
Turner; Chief Engineer and Superintend-
ent, Lyman Bridges; Secretary and Treas
urer, X. p. Layton; Directors, Chas. Koh-
Ter. NJ. Skelly, r. H. Mcdonald, James
Gamble and r. H. Lloyd. In addition all
the officers mentioned are also Directors OF
the S. r. q o. s. r. r. Mr.. Walker, who
is an Eastern man, is also President, and
Colonel Bridges is Chief Engineer and
Superintendent Of the California Central
line.

Of the Wood River smelter. and the sao-
cess Of the concern has surpassed the most
sanguine expectations. The smelter is av-

managers were met with such encouraging
words as "Ah. pshaw! That little kettle

THAT
what II G. p. and U. r. Came
Together to Consider.

Together to Consider.
The proposed conference Of the head
lights Of the Central Pacific and Union
Pacific seems not to be deeply significant
The @. P. only sends an agent to arrange
for q new depot at Ogden. The Pilot Of
the 90th has the following on the subject
"This morning there came up from Salt
Lake the special train in which the Union
Pacific officials and others were travelling.
The train again returned to Salt Lake with
the families of Sidney Dillon and Thomas
l.. Kimball, while the officials went north
over the Utah & Northern. Superintendent
G.. W. Thatcher came down from Logan
this morning to accompany the party over
the road. At $50 A. NJ. the train left for
the north, bearing Sidney Dillon, Presi-
dent; Thomas L. Kimball, Assistant Cen
ersl Manager; J. T. Clark, General Super
intendent; John Sharp, Director, all Of
the Union Pacific; G. w. Thatcher, Super
intendent Of the Utah Northern, VIM.
Jennings and some other friends OF the
officials. The party expect to visit Butte,
Montana, and while there the difficulties
about right of way will, most likely, be
looked into, and it is to be hoped meet
with o favorable solution. 1t was expected
by the Union Pacific officials that the Gen.
trail Pacific managers woul meet them
here. From ONE cause these managers
did not come to time, and the party have
gone north with the expectation that this
meeting will take place upon their return.
Since they left it has been learned that on
Thursday next j. A. Fillmore, Assistant
Ganapo1 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ~ tho Gaptro1
Pacific, will arrive here for the purpose Of
holding a conference with the Union Pa
cific managers, who have been notified Of
that fact by telegraph to-day. When that
conference will take place we are not now
informed, but we know the object to be
the arrangement of details for the erection
of appropriate depots at this important
junction OF the roads. It is understood
that permanent structures are to be pro-
vided for freight depots, transfer freight
houses and q union depot for use by the
various roads entering our city at present.
This union passenger depot will include in
its appointments ticket offices, waiting
rooms, express rooms, baggage rooms, Off
cial offices and a hotel with all modern
conveniences. There seem now to be no
special difficulties in the way Of the early
erection Of these buildings which have 80
long been needed here. The tract of land
held in common hy the two roads will be
properly plated and locations assigned
for the various buildings held in common
and individually by the two companies.
Shops will be erected for the Union Pacific
equal in extent, or greater, than those now
in use by the Central Pacific, so that to-
day matters for Ogden look very bright
and cheerful in everything pertaining to
railway and commercial affairs"

.sOFFICIAL BULLETINS"
A Coast Paper that does not Believe
tn the Critical Condition of the
President.

A Coast Paper that does moi Believe
In the Critical Condition of the
President.
The Bodie Free Press, bitterly Republi-
can, does not believe that the President
has been dangerously i'll. 1t says: There is
something wrong at the White House. In
our opinion the doctors in charge OF the
President are hoodwinking the public, and
have been sending untruthful reports re-
garding Mr.. Garfield's condition. For in
stance read the kilograms of Saturday
evening and those printed this morning.
There is q revolution in opinion. On Sat-
urday the doctors gave the President up;
there was no hope Of recovery; his death
might be expected at any moment. The
dispatches were gloomy as possible. Now
comes an entire change OF sentiment. The
President feels better, has an appetite, eats
and sleeps well; his pulse is lower and the
signs are hat he will recover. What are
we to believer Did the physicians, headed
by DIR. Bliss, bring Mr.. Garfield down to
the brink Of the grave, and then raise him
up again, merely for the purpose of de-
ceiying the people and the Presidents
family in particular 1t looks that way.
We believe Mr.. Garfield will recover; we
do not think he is near deaths door, nor
has he been in that critical condition since
the first week after the shot was fred. The
public has notgforgotten the case OF the
Prince OF Wales. how very low he was, and
how near he came to dying. The fact is,
the royal physicians cooked up the bulle-
tins, and the result was a great popular
feeling for the unfortunate Prince. This
may not be the case with DR.. Bliss d Co.,
yet it looks as though something was out
OF joint and that the bulletins were I'M
truthful. Let us have no more Of this.
The President is evidently on the high
way to recovery, and we shall not believe,
now that there have been so many false
alarms, that he is going to die until the sad
intelligence is telegraphed as an assured
fart

OF California have joined in q handsome
reward for their apprehension and convic-
ton.
