As the coach rolls along C street wo passa little lady ‘on her way to school who had intormed us the day previous that her father had made her a presont of ten sharce of Ophirto hertenth birth- day, nnd that she expected acon to be the rich- “est girl in her class, Proceeding past the Gould & Curry, Savage, and Halo & Norcross shatts, wo soon reach the Bullion Mino, and, when thero, know tnt the mysterious di- viding Mac botween Virginia and Gold Hill hes been crossed. And now, putting on the brakes, wo ascond the steep rayine, along which is built the main strect of Gold Hill, and cross the track of the Virginia & Truckee Ratlroad,—a Uno which pays its proprictors $2,500 nct profit aday. Passing in rapid succession the works of the Yellow Jackot, Crown Point, Belcher, Ovor- man, Lady Washington, Altn, and Justice Mines, Wo speedily reach Amorican Flat, and pass through the Devil's Gate,—ns Col. Fuir’s 60-cent toll-bar has been cuphoniously desienated. As wo descend wo passa number of milla and a quantity of sluices where the tailings from sald mills are atralncd and the precious metals yet romatnini'in them extracted. Passing along, it is curious to note the small dimensions of tho houses on the route. Space fs valuable here, and a large proportton of those engaged in min- ing simply use thetr houses, or, more properly speaking, their shanties, to slecp in, and board out at from $7to 89 aweek. The gas used in these various towns is mado ont of pitch from yellow spruco pine, and is of as poor a quality * ap any ono could wish, And now, passing out of the domain proper of the big mincs, wo reach SIEVE CITY, Py with its population of 1,000, all engaced In min- fing and stock-gambling. A lawyer is polnted cut tous who had made $80,000 ont of Consul- " . fdated Virginia, and who bad resolved on buy- ing himself o ranch in the San Joaquin Valley, and living in peaceful ease for the remainder of his lifo,. All bis arrangements wero made, and he was to start from Bilvcr on the Monday morning. Alns! howeyer, for his prudent reso- lutions; a friend drove up to his house on Sun- ‘day and {nvited him to necampany him up to * Virginia “jast toses what tho boys were do- ing." Tho lawyer accepted, and when §n Vir- Rinto treated some of the “ boys just out of the mings. They informed him thatatovks wore bound to'go un twice a3 high os before, that the mines wexo, looking better than ever, and that thoy were’ going to. “double un” on thelr Brocke. The lnwyer rcsolycil to wait afew days, —after all, ho was {n no hurry; he had made Ing , Pile, and could watch dovelopmente, On the Monday up went prices, aud higher on Tuceday3 they still mounted op Wednesday. By Thurs- day tho Jawyer calculated that it he had only held on and bought mora, as tho inincrs had ad- vised him to do, ho could haya madu $135,000, {pstead of $80,000. By the following &atur- ey, night his enina would have been $150,00), : He could stand it no longer. Why shouldn’t he boas bica man as Ralston? On “ the next Monday morning.in went his ptle—the . Whole of the $80,000, Fora few days the inyest- ment appeared ea promising one. Stocks still went up. Hut ere the week wns over. the crash began. Down they toppled, und lower they sank. . The lawyer, haying contldence tu the re. actlon, bought more, this timo on margin, But ‘no reaction caine, aud the and of the deal aras that the Inwyer was closed out, minus his $80,+ 000, and plus a debtof 817,000,—a burden under which ho atill plods drenrily along, hopeless of ever being able to extricate “himself therefrom, and viewing his Callfornia ranch os an almost forgotten dream. From Silver City to Dayton is but a stort ride, and Dayton fa just five miles from the Mound House Station, whence ofl sitp- ‘piles are conveyed to Sutro, This inakes it quite an srapretsay depot, mora ospecially, tov, os in its vicinity is s r A GYPSUM SIND of zood quallty, the product of which fa shipped to San ‘Francisca and. other centres. ‘Mound Hillis juato sample of the many towns that have sprung up on the V..& 7. ina under tho Josteringcarcof the rallrond. Soveral of these— Empire, Brunawick, Morrinue, Sautlazo, etc.— owe their existence to the mills’ which lave been constructed here, and which ore run by the waters of the Carson Klver.

My first step on arriy- ing was naturally to present my introduction to Cot. D. H. Forus, the yery. efiicient 8uperin- tendent of the Bodie Mine. The letter con- tained a special request from headquarters that should be adinitted into the mine, which, ever aloce thé iscoyery of the second bonanza, has been closed to all, Tho Colonat at once offered to accompany me, and on this, as well ns on subsequont. visite, showed your correspondent every possible courtesy, Your readera ‘ara not unfamiliar with tie carly history. of the Bodie Mine. ‘The old worka were a 250-foot shaft, north amd cast.

At 433 feet in depth a station was cut out and crose-cuta wore started.

In addition to this, a winze dng been sunk filty feet bolow the 483 feet level, ‘and thie winze hes brought to light an ore body of almost unparalleled richness, : ‘THIS RICH ORE Dears the appearance of rotten Stilton chcoso, and your correspondent hind the satisfaction, when in the winze, of collecting a few specimens which assaved $11,000 to the ton, On the 433 feet level the drift on the ore body runnin; north te south on_tho Icdgo fs now about 150 {cot in length.

Of course, as tu tho origin of the quartz-veing in the district the rosreat divorsity of oploion prayalla, many wolding with Prof, Silliman that the mountain- vbain, corals of Bodie Bluff, Queen Bee Hil, and Silver Hill, fs an island of eruptive rocks clearly distinct from the character of te surrounding region, ‘Tho whole surface ts coy- ered with debris resulting from the decompost- tion of the rocks; the porphyry, in its decompo- sitlon, avin furnished an ochraccous earth wheruln are abundant seams, fragments of quartz, juaper, chalcedony, und other yeln- stones, derived from the cidaying asunder of the crests of the mineral lodes which Intersect the mountaln in a genural course north 20 to BU de- grees cast, while the ridge of’ backbone of tho mountain bears about N. 85 degrees east, The cyu experienced tn QOLD-DBARING DRIFT ” recognizes at ouce, in the aspect of the sides of this mountain, the probability of the exiatence there of Drofitable placer deposits of gold, It ta a pity that Prof, Willlam F, Blake, alter visit- ing Arizous last month, did not returu East by way of Modie, o8 the deflaition which ho Have nearly, 6tx years aya of the quartz found — there = has —beon sown ly. borne out wince that period. “The quartz,’ suid Prof, Blake, “instead of being a solld homogencous nasa, ls found tn thin layers or coata one over the other Hko sbeots of papor or Pasiohosed with irregular thin seams or open- ngs Dotween, ‘Lhis structure, with pecullarities, indicates that the velng were deposited prauu- ally tn the fissures by thermal springs similar to those now oxlating along te base of the Bierrus at Stoainboat and elsewhere, Such au origin would necessitate the continuance of the velns ton very arcat depth and indicate a very constant und uniform depoult of gold. ‘The gold Is not confined to one layer alone, but is spread or dispersed, When o mass of it is crushed and washed it shows richer than the wurfaco indicates, Doubtiess there will be shoots or chitnnvys, but the gold ts geuorally evenly distrivuted.” On the surface the * lay- crs" bere spoken of are known among the uituers g8 ribbou-quartz, Beneath thls the veln- walter may be sald to be usually composed of slabs of marble two fuches or more iu thick- ness, eet down iu the fssures edgewlse, decoin- posod iu part und reddeued by the action of oxide of fron, ‘The yellowish porphyry predow- inating at the surface and there m! with whitish bluc becomes og one sinks lower of a Diuish color, aimilnr to that oncountcred on the Comstock, Another SIMILARICY WITH THH COMSTOCK ds that the ground ta Boule awells from the bot- tom upwards, owing to the softness of the country rock, Tho softness of the ore and the smoothness of the foot nud hanging walls at Bodle have been frequentiy noted, und need not hero be svecially dwelt on. Prof, Silliman stated with prophetic avetracy that the ledges on the eastern alde of Bodic Bluf—now designated ns the Standard system—dipped wert, while the ledees on the trestorn alde—known as the Bal. ‘Wor syatem—dipoed cast, and old Borleltos will tell you that theee veltus will unite ata depth of from 1,200 to 1,500 fect, ond form onc brond, main ledge. ‘The Appearance of water, how- ever, often roverses the dipofa Icdee, ‘This has been the oxperience on the Comstock, where 1,700 feet Is considered the regular tater level, althouzh ins nunbor ot the mines the quantity of water cncountered at a depth of from 000 10 700 feet was as ureat os any atniowerlovel.

Still, had there been A MORE THOROUGH CO-OPERATION, the same amount of work might probably have been dono more efficiently and mora durably. ‘Thus, for instance, the Standard is tho only mine in tho district having o triple compartmant: sbait, and tho now shaft of that mine is just as complete as the old incline shaft {s incomplete. An incline shaft {s, of course, the cheaovst way of sinking toaes whother the veln will Justify the exponse of hovstiny-works or not, but it {s wholly impracticable for deep working a8 below adenth of 00 fect only one-half of the hoisting can be perforined that is capable of bolng dono through n straight sunft. An inclino sbaft also interferes with the proper timbering of the mine, nor can pumps, 60 uccessary in cosc of a cave, be put into on incline shaft with adyan- taye. Some of the mines, notably the Black Hinwk, Tloza, anit Noonday.have been operated in the very best. style, the thmbertny and other work done being excellent. Others—snd in- deed the maforitr—nave thus far required very Hittle timbering, owing to. the hardness of the rock. A goud deal of extra timbertn ‘hos been required !n the old tumbledown portion of the Standard Mine,—that part of {t which was oper- ated by the plonvers of early days, To thor- oughly explore thu entire Stondard Mine from the yarlous lavels of the old and new shalt would occupy several days, The mine fs ono mass of bulllon-producing ores in ledzes well defined oyer an extent of country 1,500 fest long by 1,200 fect broad, and these ores mill considerably over $69und more to the ton, No wonder that this talne, now on a firin dividend- paying basis, should have been able to ship NEARLY $2,500,000 in BULLION from Its mill; and, after paying for said mill, buy. ingadditional ground, and developing the minoln every direction, have distributed among Ita stock- holders over $1,000,000 fn dividends. Owing to the Increasing flow of water in the lower Icvels of thiamine, oxtenaive pumipincriaalingey Is to be put in operation, and the foundation for two ortra boilers has recently been prepared. it was while examining the 100-fovt level of this mino, on tho 80th ult, that a sad incident occurred. One Alfred Porrln, foreman of the Choller Mine, in Virginia City, bad metSuperin- tendent Irwin avd Foreman Hickey, of the Standard, Just as we wero about to descend the new shaft, and requested permissiun to ac- company us. This was readily granted, and, donning a patr of overatls and the traditional “Jumper,” Perrin got on the cage with the rost ofthe party. Iaving reached the 400-foot level, ho made several rewarka os to the similarity of the oro with that found Inthe Choller Mine, and touk ont a large jack-knife with. a view of get ting himself soccimens .of the ore, Having once tuken out this kalfe, [t seamed imposalbic for him to replace it. He was always wanting to cut Into somo veln or exaniine, some string: crs. Still his remarks were not incoherent, !lo scemed to revel in tho sight of so much rich ore, and alluded soveral times to the width—jn one caso fourteen feet, and to. another over 20 fect—of the various ledges we encountered, Wheu wa had returned to the shaft he made some strange romari about cuttlng the ropes, and immediately afterwards inquired the ats- tance from this 40)-foot level to the bottom of tho slinft. Three bundred and fifty foot” was tho reply. Hardly nad the words been: uttered ere Perrin rushed forward and precipitated bim- self headlong down the shaft. Foreman Hickey attempted to retaln him, aud nearly managed to gronp his foot. in which case he, too, would un- doubtedly haye shared the untappy man's fate, ‘The body was picked up {in A PRIGHTPULLY MANGLED CONDITION, the entire {nce pavine been thrown to the back of tha head, <A vordictof death fram insanity was rottrned, It haying bocn ascertained thut the man had for some timo past boon in mortal fear of his life. One of the many ingenfous aorrangomonts in connection with the Standard Miuc sa holf- ‘mile-long wire ropeway, serving to convey the oro in buckets, containing about 140 pounds each, from the mise tothe mill, The ‘rope- way.” which is the Invention of A. 8.

As thera ara fifty buckets to carry the ore, there are fifty etcc! clips attached to the wire rope, cach threes inches loug by two aud a half broad.

Somo of your readers may possibly have visited the works of the Chi- cago Mine, Ophir District, Utah, where, about six years age, one of these repeivays was con- structed over an oxtremoly rugeed country, ono aud a quarter miles in length, the first hatf-inite er ao being down a vory steep mountain-side, From there it crossed over the brow of another mountain, whence tt cone lupe down tho canon at an angle of 15 to Ib dberaes, ‘There, too, the ropeway was an ontire success.

Honor and Honesty Taught—Tord Paget Thinks There Ought to Ho 9,000-Students for tho Good of the Country, A 4 West Punt Correspondence Neto York Times. If it be truo that the West Point Academy fs tho very aristocratic Institution It !s so persist- ently charged with being, and that its training and teaching ara infused with a spirit of oxclu- slveness and aristocratic prido foreiza to the People, this is now tha time whon the truth of tho chargea may most reaally be discovered. For {t is during the month of June that tho young applicants for admission gather from all parts of the country to Wost Point, preparatory to undergolng the initiatory examination, which, being passed, odinits the aspirant to member- ship, Hore, then, wa ought to gee the pamper: ed sons of wealthy paronta, the favorites of for- tune, whuse money has bought them tho coy- sted honor of an appointment, or whose influonce has commanded {tthe young gentlemen of our American aristocracy who would like to wear a military title for show, or follow the easy and luxurlous life whieh Ie 1a notorious our army ofilcers lead. Ono may see groups of these young nspirants about tho grounds at drill times, or scattered through the nelghboring village when there.fs nothing ate tractive going on at the Academy, But where are those scioow of wealthy familles which this exclusive institution only consents to admit? Such a crowd of raw-bonud, ercan, gaping apect- tnons of young humanity wos surely noyer gath- ered tocether for admission to any other ava- demic institution in the country. Here they are, fresh from the flelds of the South, the prairies of the West, the mountains of the Enst, a few showing in their bearing and manners the mnflu- ences of clty Wilc or cultivated” surroundings, but the great majority as rustic in their ways aud sppenrance og the farms they have come from; awkward in manoer, confused and amazed at what they seo, or sprawling arownd With all the freedom of the boundless West, and the hay-aced obtrusivoly: sticking out all over them, This is tho crude materinl; and i can be understood how thorouch must be the Process of manufacture which from such un- promising stuff can turn out the finished prod- uct as {tts secu four fyears after. ‘This young, first-class man talking to lila father and lls proud sisters on the piazza of the hotel will graduate next Thursday.

You soo he has been taught self-respect in its highest sense, which means respect to others. Ife will netther overatep the Proper line toward them nor permit it to oe overstepped toward himacif; and this {s one of the things which West Point teaches, and which is not dosn in the toxt-books, ‘To the boy who has been brought up in the free-nnd-easy style of manuers, und to belleye that he {s a8, good as anybody olse, West Point Must open a now and guite Unexpected world. Ha ts taught, first of afl, that the free-and-ensy style bas no place thero, ond that he fs not as good ng overybody elec in very many important things, Ills eyes are opened, tt may be rather roughly, to the fact that subordination to recog- nized suveriors, that severe disciplinc, that im-, plicit obedience to fegular commanda, are things of vitul (mportance; and as ho Icarus these, possibly to hitd disagreeably surprising facts, he also learns that subordination docs not tocan servility, nor the habit of obedicnce indicate a slavish spirit; he learns, on the contrary, thut the nighost pride ond most delicate sense of honor are perlectly compatible with the strictost. subordination to superiors, The line between the subordinate and the supertor fs etrictly marked out; within this, cach {s equal; nolthor ean overstep ft without offense; and If such of- fouse bo committed, the military code provides the proper remedica, Thus the young cadet Is taught both to‘obey and command, und he Ja uo commander who has not first fearned to oboy. ++» Two other things which West Point tonches—not found In the text-booka~aro strict honesty wnd truchfulness, A cadet guilty-of lylug is expelled.

Lf honosty and truthfulness be “aristocratic,” West Point is Very ariatocratic; and when oue looks again at the crudity of the material which it worka up, aud which can now be seen in such abundance about the Academy grounds and nelghborheod, one may feel Incliied to echo the exclamation of old Lord Paget, whon ho was visiting Weat Point two years aga, After inspocting the place, and watehing the young fellows go through thelr oxarclses, he {nquircd how many bays’ were here. ‘About 300," was the reply. “Three hundred!" oxclalmed the old gentloman, with energy; “you ought to have 8,000, for the good of thu country,” a THROUGH THE NIGHT, Ovor the startied heart of arth Ficcing like some wild thing In pain, Bune grotesque monster of domon-birthy, Over the river, thy hill, the plaing Fleving, feving, madly and wild, Vantlng ana quivering ike a child Under the Iash—the miduight-tratn Breake through tho night, and a streak of fire Js loft behind, Ike u last desire, Woods and forostadark and grim |” Look like tho puantome of paln and doubt; The Earth ts weupt in shadows dim, 7 And tho faint, swoot stars purn dimly out, and the moon cones up, fike a warning band, Over the passtunioes, slevping jand; Whilo atl the sllenco fa put to rout, And faster and faster ilies the tral Blurring the dark with o crlmson staf, Frolghted with souls that aro mute and still, Unkonned of oach other: ab! who shall know Whether theso hvarte beat with Bayer thrill, Or heavily throb with path ani wo' Yor facce aro masked 6 this dliter world, .

Wendell Philips Wants to Find Ont, Southern plantors are resolute in the purpose of detaining their labor. They have determined. to put a stop to the exodus. They have not ceased to regard the Jaboring men as thelr prop- erty. They nasert the right of the State to an- nul the Constitution and laws of the United States, It fs thefr high priviloge, as they neo It, todo the yoting for themsctyes ond the black people also, Emancipation, according to tholr interpretation of the situation, 1s a mero form, and the enfranchtsement of the frecdmen a pro- postcrous illusion. In checking the exodus they fal back upon the grand old princlples of the Fualtive-Slave low. Ata meating held Jn Boston on the ith inst, aud addreseed by Gen. ‘Thomas Goneray an Wendoll Phillips, resolutions wero passed, with the following preamble: . Wurnzas, We have tristworthy {nformation that thonsands of colored men and women, cltl- zens of the United States, are to-day camped and Ingering on the banks of tho Misslssipol to escape from merviless opprosnton, and dented tha tight of may li to pore humane and Jaw-ablding commu. nities; and : Witrrras, Wo also know that for years they havo beon clieated out of thotr carnings, robbed of thelr property, denied the rights of citizens, anit trampled morcllessty in blood by bands of armed men and atabble of asanaainas anit in despalr, tee miring pence, they are now recking new homes whore law rofans, asking only lborty to earn hon- cat broad by daily toll, while the great Woat craves Iahar overywhero. Gen, Conway concluded his Boston address with this signiticant statement: We will go to Cincinnatl in a few days, with money got in Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, and olsowhere, and wa will charter a boat and hare her carefally reqis- tored, and wo will raise the Stara and Stripos over her, and we will have a crow of good Christian men, and then wo will attempt to go down the river and doa work of charity nnd humanity, If we are attackod wo will exerciso the iret right of self-preservation, namely: ecif-cefense, Then wo will ask.the President to keep his pladgo and exa- cute the Invw, and, judging from tho furore created. in tho South when ho told the Rov.

Sone of ws busted ourselves to ald tho yellow-fover sufferers, ‘Then we were praised, Others of ushelpedtho suf- ferors from the overflow. Then wo were herald- ed as humantitarians. But now, when the negro eries for hetp, we are threatened with incarcera- tion in Southern dungeons if wo dare to respond to his appeals.” ‘On this occasion Wendell Phillips. mada ono of his most ramarkable speeches. He sald: Is the Mississippi a public highway, or hnve the Sonthorn planters a right to puta fence across it? Are the nogrons frea? Was thero over a reballion? Did Leo really drive Grant ont of Vireinia, and was it Jefferson Davis who pardoned Abraham Lincoln? Whstis the meaning of that pile of granite onthe Common? Dit the folks it com- Memorntes eveceed in rettling anythinc? or do ther grovon only fark tho half:way honso bo- tween aémewhere and nowhere? These are questions thoughtful men ask them- aetyos to-iay. ‘Tho father, whose son waa starved at Andersonville, or Hcy ‘buried with the nig- crs" on somo Southorn tnttlo-feld, sadly asks, Did that death gain anything! z Bao lepaorieg. year by yearta decorate graves if we make no cffort to keep what that precious Diond bought!

It is sending an expedition to the South tn the midst of the btstest season, fo aid in a movement of negrocs which tins aroused the passtons of the dominant. clogs inthe Southern States. It suggeats tho sending of the unarmed .8tar of the West to Fort Sumter, to be fired upon by the young artillory officer recently elected Bishop of Michigan, 4 HOW SHALL IT BE?
