Geological Maps Of Mining Regions.


A Washington dispatch says Director
Powell Of the Geological Survey has
turned the survey into popular chan.
mel by planning series Of Typographical
and geological maps OF the United States.
Among these are maps OF the gold belts
OF California, two OF which are nearly
ready for distribution. These are known
as the Sacramento and Placervlle sheets,
and cover an area extending from the
plane Of the Sacramento valley TO the
foothills Of the Sierra Nevada, n distance
OF nearly 40 miles.
To the pold-hunteTs OF the west these
maps will be OF the greatest assistance.
Their work "A. present is far from attrac-
tive. Although the annual output Of
gold in the world has been constantly
increasing in The last eight years, that Of
the United States has decreased gradu-
ally since 1853, when il attained its
highest fsnres-s65,0O 100000. 10 1892
the gold product of this conntry was es-
timated at $33, 100000. The value Of all
the gold mined in the world that year
was placed at sl3O,sl7,OOO Last year
the worlds product increased to $l46,.
0O0, 600, hut that OF the United States is
not far from the total Of 1892.
The difficulties in the way Of mining
gold in this country have increased each
year. In the early days of gold mining
much Of the precious metal was found in
the beds Of rivers and in rocks which had
been forced TO the earih's surface by
volcanic action. On the western slope
Of the Sierras in California, where the
original discovery of placer deposits IN
the United States war made, the topo-
graphical conditions were favorable to
the concentration Of gravel delrital ma
terial, resulting from the disin'eyration
of gold bearing rocks into bodies that
could readily he worked by the aid Of
abundant water.
The increasing diff .ulty and the cost
OF gold mining 10 the United States drove
the seekers after the metal away from
the streams into the mountains They
had nothing to guide them but the ex-
perience gained in placer mining, and
thousands OF them eventually gave up
the struggle. Some OF them succeeded
in discovering rich veins and in time
capital came to their aid
1t will seem that VI these prospectors
had possessed the Information which the
Geological Survey has now set out to
provide, their task would have been far
easier.
Instead OF hsphazard search for gold
bearing rock, they would have been able
to continue their search for wealth in a
thoroughly business-like way. The most
ignorant prospector would have been
placed practically on an equality with
the experienced metailuryist. The
change In methods which this mapping
Of the suriferous deposits of the country
will bring about is typical OF the general
change which has been taking place in
with western conquests of the
soil.-M & s. Press.

Wilson, chairman Of the Democratic
Committee of Ways ald Means, to a
grand banquet The courtesy appears to
people on this side a cheap way of paying
a big debt, and yet in fashion an honest
and manly way. Chairman Wilson has

ident does not happen to be in London and
within range of honors or social courtesies.
Mr.. Wilson is there, and in some remarks
recently published has graciously in
formed his British friends that the fight
for Free Trade on this side has only just
begun, and that he and his party mean to
do a great deal better than they yet have
done In the way Of promoting British In
stead of American Industries. 1t would
have been shabby in the last degree il
such distinguished performance and such
gratifying promises had not been thought
worthy of recognition.

Fatteninr oysters to nrnsiO.

Down in South street there is an aged
oysterman who fattens his stock by feed.
Ing them on oatmeal and water, and dur.
Ing the meal the bivalves are regaled with
u concert especially arranged for their
benefit The old man has a cool, dark
cellar, and the oatmeal water is kept in
tubs and splashed over the oysters with a
dipper but they are not fed until the con
cert is well under way. An oyster, it
seems, has soul for music, and it is not
particular so long as the music Is loud and
lively Therefore while the old man is
mixing the water and meal a negro boy
who is known I'm the neighborhood of Full
ton market as " the black Levy, sits on
an upturned tub and plays the cornet
with considerable rough skill.
After few moments the oysters begin
TO open their shells, as if to call out,
Bravo, bravo!' and when they are all
agape and the clear notes Of the cornot are
causing thcm to be fully alive 20 the de-
lights OF life the Old oysterman splashes
them with the meal and water and they
absorb it grccdily and wax fat He says
that he can fattcn 100 bushels of oysters

TRENTON, Oct. 3-The special feature of
interest in connection with the reassem-
bling of the New Jersey legislature was
the action Of the governor in vetoing a
batch of bills which were left on his hands
when the legislature entered upon its
long recess last May. The most impor-
tant Of these bills was the one TO abolish
the county courts as at present consti-
tuted and establish in their place elective
courts, removing the lay judges from Of

and the marriage license bill were among
the other yetoes.

WE have been so much accustomed of
late years to hear of the intensity of
Irish poverty that it is rather satisfactory
to learn from an official report presented
to Parliament that during the first six
months Of the current year the deposits
and balances in the joint-stock banks of
the Emerald Isle have increased by more
than S4,oO0OOO, the total at the end of
June being SlsO,OOOOOo, the largest
amount ever shown on hand at that date.
Inasmuch as it is the Irish farmers who
are the chief depositors in the joiutstock
banks, their condition, to say the least,
shows improvement. The savings banks
afford similar evidence respecting the
peasantry and the poorer classes in the
towns, the increase in deposits during the
half year exceeding 100000 the total
on hand being $4O,OOOOOO.
