,nVe Introduce our weekly report with
the following pertinent article from ibe
Now York Dully Slock Report :
Ak California, with her 803.000 inliubi
tauts anil pioduelion ul $1,000,000,000
of gold since 1840. Ask Sun jr.ineisco,
with its 2tf!JlO00 people, many of vhom re
member when her llrst houses were elec

in thiity tlueu tears cxcccdiug the capa
city of the imagination to conceive of.
Ask what would she be today hud it 1101
been for ber gold mining.
IIus the disoovery'of the precious metal's
within her borders paid Colorado, the
.youngest cj" all Hie slates, yet btunding 111"
the front rank of railroad building, whoso
coal and iron iudusliles are rivaling those
of the older Mates, ' nud whose silver pro
duction takes tlrt place in tins or any
other country. iak Denver, the "Queen
City (if the West," whether .mining has
paid. Denver, with i.er 40.000 souls, all
busy and happy, its buildings (erected by
miners) livaliug those of the oldest cities
s of the East. Ask Leadville, "The City in
the Clouds,", wilh lis 20,000 people, all en
gaged iu swelling its silver uillpul to ovei
if 18,000,000 per veur. Ask the numerous
camps throughout the stale that helped
augment Colorado's bullion production in
1881 to over $13,000,000.
Has it paid Nevada? Has Eureka's $70..
000,000 beeu devoid of benefit to that stale?
Has Coutsiock's $300,000,000 tailed to in
fuse new life and energy into that Mecca
of sintering wealth?
So we might continue, ilasit paid Ari
zona, New .Mexico, Utah, Idaho, .Montana,
Dakota? Has it paid the wlioln country?
Does it pay to add $8,000,000 annually to
the enduring wealth of the nation? Has
It paid to have the vast territory west of
the Rocky mountains opened up to settle
ment, to have the railtoad teach from llie
.Missouil river to thu Pacific ocean ? Has
it paid to have 2,000,000 hardy sons of toll
people those wilds where only thu Indian
held sway a few years ago? Does it pav
'the government to receive $1,000,000 pe'r
year for property that recently was lime
cesslble, ami which' woul 1 be to day if it
was not for the miner, whose going before
.-made it un object for the railroad to reach
out and epjoy the benefits arising from hi-,
toil, and Ibo railroad opened thu way
5b r the farmer and the tradesman, so thai
to-day that which ten years ago was a vast,
unbroken wilderness," with the savage
v lurking behind every bush. Is now a
blooming garden sending forth its (reas
sures to gladden the hearts of millions of
toilers iu the East, besides supplying the
means to reduce our immense public debt
In view of these facts, can anyone ask:
" Does mining pay?"
TomtiHtotie 31. & M. Co.
'this property Is a constant surprise, not
nly to its owners, but to the public gen
erally. One year ago there were times
when its manager was In doubt where his
week's supply of ore for the mills was to
come from; but as work progressed from
day to day, the ore bodies enlarged, and
more than sufficient was forthcoming.
Since then the lltids have oecn so numer
ous and extensive that they can now see
at least two years ore ahead, with u proba
bllltyof many more beyond that limit, ami
this without any drawing upon the imag
ination. A uc.v and exceedingly rich find has
lieen made in the Tough Nut northwest
workings, shaft No.C, from which over
200 tons of ore have been taken, 'ot a grade
above 200 ounces to the ton. The extent
of this body can as yet only be conjec
tured, as it has steadily enlarged since
ilrst struck. At this point, not 11 bucket
full of waste Is hoisted during the day, all
that mines up being tiigh grade 010.
The old uoithucst workings, across the
gulch, tire atui showirg well. Work on
' the Combination mine (Good Enough), is
'pot being pushed at thu prfast-tit time, and
will not be until the air shaft, which is
down (10 feel, makes connection with the
old workings at this point. Iu thu Good

The examination of David Calisher was

After our report clossd yesterday Ii. F.

Cagd theater and to teeing Calisher oil"
and on dining alj thu time witness was

muni, said thai the case had been carefully
examined and argued on both sides; tli'it
the counsel,' as well as the court h td
taken great interest in the miller and
he considered that the ciso Hilcd as

propel ty belonged to Ihe defendant, that
the lire was of an incendiary catuic, and
that tlieie was sufficient reason why
the prisoner should be held to appear
before Ihe sraml jury, as the' one
gii'lty of the crime; that should he order
his disclrarge lie would be failing to per

Enrroi: Eittavh: In' yesterday's
edition of thu Nuirrot appears what
purports to lie a communication to
that paper. It is without the signa
ture of the sender, hut that is un
necessary, as the Nugtret fathers it.
I am not conversant with the history
of San Francisco, hut I am with that
of the Society of Jesus, called Jesu
its, and it is some time since I have
seen so nialieriiaiit :i tissue of false
hoods iu public print, uud I feel
that I would be dead to every
feeling of manhood weie I to permit
it to go unchallenged.
I do not deny that tho article has
some element of truth in its compo
sition; that the facts regarding 'the
rellict are as stated, I am willing to
believe. But the other matter in the
article could only have originated in
the fertile imagi titiou of an unin
formed and vindictive bigot, and I
assert that the coiieliisisii deduced
t'oin his mixture of truth and fiction
is a damnable lie, and only calculated
lo appeal to the prejudices of the ig
noraut. When the writer of the article
states that tiie Mexicans are ignorant
and superstitions', 1 cannot gainsay it,
for I have never lived ainpng them,
if they arc ignorant tliey are cer
tainly superstitious, for the two al
ways go hand in hand. It would
seem tiiat they are both, otherwise
they could never have banished from
their bound tries one of the noblest
sols of men ever banded together,
whose Godlike deeds, recorded in
the pages of the history of his coun
try, will stand, monumental pyramids
to their valor mid self-sacrifice, long
after their maligner shall have en
tered a forgotten grave. A band of
men of whom Macauley, who cer
tainly cannot boaceusedof partiality
to Catholicism, in speaking of the
schools founded by them, (as nearly
a 1 can epi te his words from mem
ory) says: '"Wero it not for these
institutions of learning scattered here
and there among the huts' ot a miser
able peasantry, and the castl s of a
ferocious inistocracy, European so
ciety would have consisted merely of
'leasts of burden and beasts of prey."
"The church has many times been
compared by divines to the ark which
we read o iu the book of Genesis,
but never was the resemblance so
complete as during those turbulent
times when she, alone, rode upon the
abyss of ignorance and obscurity,
beneath which all the gieat power of
ancient wisdom lay entombed, bear
ing within her the feeole germ from
which a second and more glorious
civilization was to spring. J.

About tho most ainusinjr readinjr
through our eastern exchanges is'
thit about the Old Dorriinion Copper
company. In order that Epitaph
readers may keep posted on this
wonderful (!) property that is going
to eclipse the Calumet and Hecla iu
production, we subjoin the following
fiom the New York Daily Stock
holder, which shows the last phase
of the programme as mapped out by
the pr sident of the company at their
annual meeting.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Old Dominion Copper
Mining company, held yesterday, the
following trustees were elected: Geo.
U'. Dunn,C.-E. Brooks, S. M. Ham
ilton, Geo. W. Hughes, and James
Bailey. Geo. V. Dunn was re-elected
president, and C. E. Brooks' sec
retary and tiea'surer. President
Dunn submitted the following report:
"Tho unforeseen and unavoidable
obstacles the comp ny hae beeu
obliged to contend with, iu the shape
of swollen rivers, Indian outbreaks,
and delays iu transportation, have
been sui mounted. The .machinery
and smelting furnaces have been
tiunsported lrom San Francisco, and
successfully erected at the furnace
site near our New York mine, after a
delay ot neaily six months, from the
above causes. Ample supplies of
coke, charcoal and wood have been
provided, and arrangements have
been perfected to insure a re'gular
supp'y of these articles when
wanted. William Davis, a praes

Pope, Colo & Co., the owners of the
Baltimore Copper works, has been
engaged to take charge and operate
our smelting furnaces. It has not
been considered wise to erect more
than two 3t)-ton furnaces at first.
When we are thoroughly satisfied
that these furnaces can produce the
results we require, two mote furnaces
of same capacity will be erected at
the Old Dominion and Keystone
mines. Additional furnaces will be
erected as fast as the? mines can be
opened, so as to supply them regit
larly and continually. The required
proceedings necessary to produce
United States patents for tho com
pany's property aro progressing sat
isfactorily. The suggestion of the
superintendent us to the erection of
suitable works to save the gdld and
silver contained in ores will undoubt
edly bo adoptt.d, after thorough
tests of the various methods of con
centration have been made. The
company has been under no expense
for salary for either j. resident, secre
tary and treasurer, or superintendent
It is expected the company will be'
fairly established on a dividend
paying basis by the loth inst, at
winch time bullion shipments will be
commenced. "Our mines are improv
ing as tho developments piogress
and depth is attained. All signs
point to a piospcrous business for
us during the coming year. Large
coal fields have been found about 45
miles south of Globe. The coal is
of excellent quality forcoakeing pur
poses. A cliartei has been granted
for a railroad which will pass these
coal fields and connect with the
Southern Pacific railroad at Tucson.
This will greatly enhance the value
of our property. It will enable us
to lay cuke at the mines for one. tenth
of the present cost, and give us much
cheaper and quicker transportation
for our product." The treasurer's
report show.s the receipts for the
past year to have been SHJG.712 31,
and the expenditure 8100,147-48.

Foj: terseness and vigor wo com
mend the following Jjrief (!) sentence ,
from one of the Citizen's condensed
editorials of the 9th instant. It is
pithy and right to the point, which
will be understood by all who
read it:
If he of yore could with tho jaw
bone of an ass wcrst his thousand
enemies, what havoc could a liko
power make if but half aimed with
the brassy impudence that character
izes the shameless knaves whose ill
gotten wealth, the result of criminal
connivance and baseness not common
ti the lot even of the most depraved,
allows i hem unblushingly to live in
luxury and with the bold front of
unabashed villainy to daily walk tho
streets and move among their victims
as though they were honest men, a
i amo once suborned to do them ser-
vice, and under which guiso they
gathered together the hard earnings
of the industrious and confiding la
borer, the result of years of toil and ,
unnumbered privations, which atone
fell swoop is made to fill the capa
cious maw of those to vvhoso trust it
had in faith been confided, and who
now, apparently unconscious of tho
misery wrought, are contont to live
in luxurious idleness ir. the very town
where Tiany ct their victims slave
for bread.
