Bony, Cal., June %3.—One great eauac of the sticcess of Bodie as a mining camp has beon the reudiness of Superintendents and Directors to keop the public informed as to the develop- ments taking pines along the drifts and cross: cuts of the mines. On the Comstock, experts nro allowed to yisit the mines. on the Sth and 20tn of each month, but, beyond these fort- nihtly inspections and the meacor official weekly letters, the public Is left In the dark as to developments, and thus when’ some {m- portant move {6 about to, bo. mado the atock of the minos to be affected thereby isjust as apt to go down ns up, seelngy that timld holders aroscared at the absence of any information, Nothing whatover can be learnod by the averase outsider at the office of the company, and hence whon any good nows 16 made public It fs held by many to bo merely a cunning device to get rid of the stock ata good figure, and is frequently “coppered” forthwith. In Bodie, on the con- trary, men of catablished reputation, ike Mr, Wasson, for instance, appear to be dally in- formed of THE APPRANANCE OF THE VARIOUS MINES, and to bo allowed to goto the hattom of shafts, winzes, :nnd inclines: whenever 60 disposed, ‘Yheac mon publish in the local and San Fran- eleco journals detalled accounts of what they Dave geen, and thus the public is kept filly advised of what is going on, snd knows of a ‘@ strike’? in any mine almost ns coon os the Directors. This ts unquestionably tho right way to gain the confidence of the investing pub- lle, and itis quite. noticeable that every suc- t ceséive decline !n the Comstocks seems to give (ee Bodle vtocks additional strength. Of urao the reports made by somo of the solf- sstyled experts must be faken cum qrano salls. At is barely a month since o French ‘expert? vislting the Bodlo Mino failed to perceiva any of the rich ore, assaying well into the thousands, but amply took out a fow samples which os- payed from flvo to ten dollars to the ton, and then framed his report accordingly, This matter of publicity fs not the only ono in which the management of the Bodies differs from that of the Comstocks. Tho latter havo always been accustomed to have thelr ma- chinery from San Francléco, but a number of the Bodie Mince. managers, having-.coupre- bended the truth: that Eastern machinery fs not only cheapor /but. more durable than Call- fornian, they have sent across the Coutinent— to Oblo, Pennsylvania, and Now Encinnd—for thelr holsting works, pumping machinery, and other equipments. THB WIRE CABLES, which are said to bo far anperior to those from Ban Francisco, ore ordered chiefly from Witkes- barre, Pa,, and Ihave thus far failed’'to dis- cover that orders for the steel or fron outfit of any mine in the district have beensent to Chi- cago, : {¢ behooves manufacturers in, your city to bestir thomsclyes in this matter. ..Bodle promis¢cs to be a good customer to Enst, and, if .Chicgzo manufacturers \could “once es- tablish a foothold hore, it 1s not probable that they would soon be called upon to relinquish it. With so many ore-producing mines more mills are needed, and appearances po to show that a custom mill put up in s favorable location would make “big money" foritaowners, At some not distant day it may be hoped that the railroad connecting tho Central Pacific line with Bodie wi}l_ bo constructed, and if, as secms probable, Comstock influences aro too great to allow of the road boing bullt hy a San Fran- cisco company, thero is no reason whatever-why Enstorn capitalists should not supply the con- necting link and reap the profits which, judging from the’ success of thé Virginia & Trackeo Railrord, would undoubtedly accrue from such snundertaking, At preacut the traveler. from the East can leave the Central Pacific at Reno, whence the Virginia & Truckeo Rallroad con- fucts him’ fo Nttle over an hour to Carson, from’ which point the daily stages tnke twenty hours to reach Bodie, Or he can travel another 200 miles on the Contral Pa- cific, and, leaving {t at Stockton, take the Stockton & Copperopolls Iino to Milton :(thirty miles), whence a twonty-nine ‘hours’ store- rida through u beautiful country will pring him to Bodle. Or, again, leaving tho Central Pacific malin ‘ne at ‘Lathrop, nina miles south of Btockton, he can brauch off ninety miles to Madora,—the noarest station to the Yosemite Valley,—whence « model stage-conch will carry him over the forty-flve miles of route to Fresno Flats, From hero A SADDLE-TRAIN runs direct to the new and rich Lake District, whence a' dally stage carries the travoler to Bodie, ‘fhe inst route is said to be the most, picturesque of all, Stith, as will ba sceu, with all this choice of routes, Bodie {s a good way off the Hne of travel, and it would certainty seem that, with the millions assured in the Standard, Bodie, and Bulwer, and the aplondi prospects, et other mines, a railroad could not fail to prove aeuccess, ‘The Virginia & Truckeo Raflroad had intended starting this summer the building of o narrow-gauge Ilne from the Mound House, near Sutro,—rolng south; but it 8 understuod that D. 0.
