Yes, but you see times have

a smile. "Your coat was appropriate

Mines and Mining.

Surveyor General Preble in bis re-
port, says:
Mining, as whole, is at present
very quiet. Several localities, how
over, are producing well, aud new dc.
velopments are constantly being made.
CAPITAL is loath to invest, aud many
good prospects are lying dormant,
waiting for some one to perceive and
make use Of their value. The incor.
pora,ed interests of this state have
been the instrument to defeat prosper
Gus mining, The State il sull OF mia-
eral that can be easily handled, hut
interest has been centered IN the
Cnmstock, and the whole attention Of
the people has been toward how high
tho stock would 20 rather than to-
: ward an honest development Of the
miaes. These incorporated companies
Incorporated under the laws Of Cali
formal have levied assessments upon
the stock held, grand and expensive
machinery has been erected, great
depth has been attained, aud three
hundred and Fifty millions Of dollars
have been taken from these works.
Yet mines in this State are at dis
count.
The bullion product has fallen off,
and the belief has gone abroad that
Nevada has ceased to be bullion pro-
ducing State. Great compassion Is
shown, and the fear Of being relegated
to Territory is expressed everywhere
outside the State. What other but
lack Of confidence has brought about
this condition, and what has caused
this lack Of confdencel Wherever
piece Of rock containing mineral was
found claim was staked off, com
pany formed, stock issued and the
claim tioated upon the market. The
greedness of the people to make for
tune from nothing was aroused, their
cupidity excited, the stock was sold,
the "bulls' sent the price up, the
"bears' pulled it down, regardless of
the laeri,s Of the mine; assessments
followed, few of the well managed
mines paid dividends; this was en-
couragement to invest in others, and
so tho ball accumulated, the wild
cats depending for their standing on
the virtue Of the producing mines, un-
til tho ball became too great, aud it
broke, rent asunder by its own inn
mensity.
The crash carried with it the conf
dence Of the people who had invested,
and all mines, good, bad or indiiier-
ent, were looked upon as mere stock
jobbipg deals and not as metal pro-
ducers. The mining interest has not
as yet recovered, but is regaining
slo wly from the demoralizing effects of
the grand revelry of bonanza times
The good mines are being worked aad
the non producers "boarded up.

Col. Fred Grant on His Fathers Po.
sitiOn In the Winter Of 167G..77,

A good deal of attention has been at.
tracted to the recent article of Mr.. Childs
of Philadelphia about Gen. Grant. One
point in particular has been the subject
of wide spread comment This was Mr..
Childs's declaration that Gen. Grant was
convinced that filderl was elected. /
had talk with Col. Fred Grant the
other day upon this vt;fy subject. Col.
Grant said that he was with his father a
good deal during the Winter of l876-77.
He has in his possession papers which
throw light upon Gen. Grants belief at
that particular time. Col. Grant says
he does not think ths,t his father was
clearly of the opinion that Tilden was
entitled to the seat. He says his father
thought that there was so much fraud
upon both sides that the title of either
Hayes or Tilden would have been cloud.
ed. he said; II think fathers idea
was that there should be a new election.
At least that was his original idea. He
was satisfied that whatever result was
accomplished there would be q very large
number of people throughout the country
dissatisfied and disposed to look upon
such result with serious distrust. To
avoid this my father hoped to reach some
sort of compromise which would result
in no election. Then the Secretary of
State would have been obliged to give
notice for another election. My father
was not able to secure this result. The
Electoral Commission vas a second
thought and was really a compromise"
z. C. Ga,gford IN New York World.
