ON MINING AND MINEs,.
JjETTEB THIRD.
Mining on the Pacific Coast Part,
Present and Future.
From the glorioua dayB of Cortoz,
the inhabitants of tho present Moxi-
can States of Durango, Sinaloa and
Sonora, and up to the present were,
for the very shirt they wore, and the
plate they were eating from, depend
ent on the products of their innumer
able gold and silver mines. They
have been their past, are their pres
ent, and will be also their future re
liance, even if thoy should change
hands and become stars in the XJ. S.
constellation and thereby the prop
erty of the insatiable Yankee. These
mentioned States as well as Arizona,
Lower and Upper California, are es
sentially mining countries, ana will
remain so for hundreds of years to
come. Some will oDiect ana say mat
Upper California is at the present
more of an agricutural than a mining
country. This may be so, but
whether it will remain so, is alto
gether another Question. "Who dares
to deny that the very toundation oi
California s greatness and present
prosperity was levied by mining f
And what would become of agricul
ture if mining ceased to-morrow ?
Send our wheat and wool abroad and
get that for it which is an equivalent
for mines money, some will say.
Well and good, say I, but will Cali
fornia and its wheat remain m the
same relation to the rest of the world
it stands now ' Will California
wheat always be wanted in the Euro
pean markets : may not other com
petitors sooner or later drive Califor
nia wheat from that market? and the
exhaustion of the California soil, by
that niurderinr system of agriculture
now carried on, to the detriment of
nnmincr fenerations r nia it uul
. l TTTJll 1L. L
sell in after years, when on the same
acre which now produces from 20 to
30 bushels, onlv ten can be raised r
Add to that loss prices for wheat and
tell me whether California will then
hp. as much of an agricultural State
as it is now under very favorable cir
cumstances? All will goon swim
mingly until the last acre is under
the plow, but irom that day i .auior
nia as an aerricultura State will de
cline, since the soil little by little will
become exhausted. Manuring on an
extensive scale will become extremely
expensive, while tho dry and winter-
less climate greatly opposes it. We
know that science can do but little
more for agriculture than it does at
present. Give back what you take
away, is the great principle on which
agriculture stands, and must stand
for all time to come. With mining it
is quite different. It is on the Pacific
Coast but in its infancy, and who
doubts but that the day will come,
must soon come, when on this Pacific
Coast ores can be treated on the same
principles, with the same perfection,
tho same expenses and results as now
in the famous governmental establish
ments in Germany V To do this, but
two thinsrs are wanted intelligence
and cheap labor. To what Califor
nia'8 mining might be brought with
the two intelligence and cheap labor
combined with economy and honesty,
Vint v(rv few can now foresee. With
cheaper and more perfect machinery,
new metallurgical processes yet
slumbering in some inventive brain,
cheap provisions and cheap labor,
thousands and tens oi thousands oi
crfVld-hfiarinfi- ouartz lodes can bo
0 a J. . -. , -
worked to advantage. Ana as goia
will cro up again in proportion to sil
ver and other values, California will
see. if not another '49, then at least
the day when mining once more will
be looked upon as its cniei resource.
Tho mineral wealth ot Arizona and
the Mexican States of Chihuahua,
Sonora, Sinalop and Durango will
also become fairly known and valued
by tho world, after another race pre
ponderates in these States. It is so
fabulous that if told to-day, nobody
would believe in it, and the arable
lands beintr but limited, tho day will
come when every surplus grain of
California's wheat will come down
here, instead of going, as it now does,
to ISuropo. J. J. AL.
