The Precious Metals.

The latest mint returns report a de.
crease in the gold bullion produced
in the United States, during the year
1882, of s2,OOO,OO0, Surprising re.
suits are shown to have followed both
gold and silver mining in Georgia, the
years product being double that of
any former year. The hitherto neg.
lected mountains of the South have
evidently an Importance in point Of
mineral supply the world had never
dreamed of. The supply of gold from
Dakota was very materially decreased;
Colorado showed a slight excess over
the preceding year; California was
s1soao. .n0na hehind. North Garolipa
shows an increase in production Of
fifty per cent. The Appalachian
mountains give promise Of a future
large yield. The supply of silver in-
creased, especially in Idaho and New
Mexico /; for the first time silver was
received from North Carolina. South
Carolina and Virginia have enterpris-
es on the way which will make them
add to the store of the precious metals
along with North Carolina and Geor-
gia. The increase in silver is proba.
bly, due in a great measure to the arti-
fetal condition produced BY the Uni.
ted States buying over half what the
American mines annually produce !;
when the minting Of useless silver
dollars isstopped, a decrease of Ameri.
can silver may be looked for. while in
Mexico there will be an increase.

A Monument Indeed.

Peoplewho were so anxious to build
monument to Peter Cooper would
do well to reflect that the great insti-
tute he founded for the people Of this
city is moro remarkable for the mum.
Der Of people it turns away than for
the number It aids. Last year |, ,450
persons applied for instruction in the
art department, and only 275 could
be admitted-one in six--and the
pressure in some of the other depart
ments was far too great for their ca.
pacity. Only 32 persons could be
received into the wood engraving de-
partpent, and 160 received instruc.
tioitan telegraphy. The night school
of ience had 1859 students, and the
night school of art gave instruction to
2,9@ persons, These figures show
how that institution struggles with its
resources and limitations to meet the
wants of the people The popularity
of IFS free reading.room is shown by
the fact that it was used by 475,0SS
persons last year, and 170,155 books
were used. That institution is the
foundation for a magnificent Peoples
College, and with large endowment
and income, with a corresponding en-
largement ofits educational resources,
it could easily become one ofthe great
institutions Of the country. There is
a constant and increasing demand for
a free library for popular use, and it
furnishes the foundation for just such
apopular library as is wanted. Msssrs.
Cooper and Hewitt would doubtless
gladly cooperate with public-spirited
citizens in making the institution
which represents the mind and spirit
of Peter Cooper, and is in itself
illustration of the genius
of helpful benefcence, such as a uni.
versity and library as the people of
this city need and would appreciate.

THE BONANZA KING MINE.

A few days since we published the Rist of a telegram from MT. Ewing of the Bonanza King mine at Provi- dence, to the effect that the company had shipped $11,OOO of fine bullion for the first eight days run. The operator in transmitting the mes sage omitted part of it, and the fact is, that instead of $11, ,000 the amount shipped was II bars, the value of which was $19,O0O. This is the first work of the new mill, and certainly is 6 most encouraging starter. The Bonanza King Company have spent an immense amount of money in developing their mines, and to-day have undoubtedly the best mining property on the coast. The new mill was shipped by mule teams from Mo have station. Even while the rail road was building to the mines with a prospect of reaching them in a short time, yet they considered the delay of few weeks in waiting for the railroad would cost more than the extra amount for freight, large as it was, and with genuine mining enterprise hauled all their machin- cry over moro than two hundred miles of desert, and will have saved the extra cost in a few days run. The question of water supply was also mooted one, but by vigorous prospecting and extensive work sufi- cient water has been developed to settle this question, and enough is assured both for household and mill purposes.
 The Bonanza King is already the mine of our county. Its output in the short time it has been worked is very large, and the ore of high grade; immense amounts have accumulated on the dump, sufficient to insure the continuous working of the mill if it Is found necessary to do any dead work, while at present more than sui hcient ore is being taken out to keep the mill employed to it's capacity We are pleased to see the grit and enterprise of this company 50 we'll rewarded, and hope, for their sake and the prosperity of the county, that they may continue to ship $2O. 900 in fire bullion every eight days for years to come. Nor is this ex travagant when we consider what other mining property will do and is doing, and the indications are that the Bonanza King is not whit be- hind the best. and that its fortunate owners may reap rich harvest for their immense outlay of capital in its purchase and development.-San Bernardino Times.
