The New York Journal, in discuss
ing the matter Of trusts, says "When
we lind lew men, acting together,
who are at once prudent and enor-
monsly rich, whose living expenses
absorb no appreciable portion Of their
incomes, who have practically the
whole of stupendous surplus avail
able every year for investment, and
who have the most perfect inside
knowledge OF the best opportunities
for profit and the shrewdest faculty
for taking advantage of them, it is
hard to avoid the conclusion that
those men, if they live long enough to
hang together must eventually become
sole proprietors Of the nations indus
tres. There is every reason to be.
lieve that unless we have some radical
change in political conditions the next
thirty years will see the entire indns.
trial activity OF the United States
regulated by single trust, OF which
the bulk Of The American people will
be the employee. What will happen
then will depend upon the virlity
still left in the population. 1t will be
an epoch from which the union may
date an advance to higher social
state than anything previously known,
or a plunge into complete and per
manent industrial slavery"

Some Large Pieces OF Gold.

Finding large gold nuggets is not so
unusual thing in California as to
justify more than passing notice. OF
course, what is seldom is wonderful,
and because OF this the recent little
bunch of gold dust brought here from
the Yukon has occasioned unbounded
excitement, as such things are Won
derful--for the Yukon--but the find
ing this week OF the mass OF gold in
Trinity Co., in this State, hardly de-
serves the fuss made about it in the
daily papers. The thousand columns
of stuff that the dailies have had about
the fairly sliced batch of gold gathered
all last winter in the Klondyke are
largely sensational. A murder or Grim
con. case would elicit the same mere
tricious attention. In this no slur on
the dailies is intended. That is their
province, and they admirably fill the r
chosen field.
But to make such fuss about so
ordinary thing as the finding OF a
great mass OF gold in California would
imply that was as much of a wonder
as the years scrapirg's SO diligently
collected in the Yukon tuGdras. The
fact is that without in the least de
tracing from the size or value OF the
$4,000 piece OF gold found by the
Graves Bros. in the Blue Jay mine,
Trinity county, Cal, this week, it is
smaller than at least two other aurI-
srous masses previously unearthed in
this State. 1t is less in size and value
than the piece found at Carson Hill
Calaveras county, or the lump found
at Downieyille, Sierra county, as men
toned by Louis Blanding, which was
valued at $4,000. Another mass
found in the Bonanza mine, Tuolumne
county, gave a value of over $4,000.
1t is but ia r to say that these were not
nuggets" but Jumps of gold and
quartz.
The largest piece OF gold ever I'M
earthed anywhere free from quartz, Of
which there is any record, is that taken
out of Dyer & Haltman mine, Hill End,
N. S. W., on May 10, 1872 1t was
imbedded in thick wall OF blue slate
$50 feet from the surface it weighed
GAO pounds; it was ffty-seven inches
long, thirty-eight inches wide, and
averaged four inches in thickness; it
was valued at $14S,S00. 1t is OF in
terest to further state the owners OF
the mine were subsisting on charity
when they found it.
The "Welcome Stranger" nugget
was found on Mt Moliagef Australia,
Feb. 1869 1t weighed 100 pounds
and was valued at $45, 900. The Wei
come nugget was found at Bakery
Hin, Australia, June 8, SO; it weighed
1874 lbs. 8 ozs. and was valued at S44 :
1856. The piece found in Trinity
county this week is true "nugget,"
or was before being broken, being a
solid piece of gold, shaped somewhat
like beavers tail, and 3S inches long.
Is inches wide at the widest end and
81 inches thick in that place; it weigh
ed in place about 2470 ozs. 1t was
broken in being taken out Of where it
lay, near an open cut twenty-five feet
long, soft porphyry on the hanging
wall, greensboro on the footwall, the
nugget lying against the footwall. 1t
is of regret that the piece could not be
exhibited in Its entirety.-Mining and
