HECENT GOLD DISCOVERIES, &e.
As the resources- of the country are now
being so actively culled into the service of
the win', consideration for the future has
been of late directed to tho mineral wealth
aud urowiiii; importance of the vat Terri
tories owned by tho Government. Some ac
count of the miucrul fertility of these lands
will prove valuable aud in torc.-st i n tr.
According to theudmirabic rcpovt of Hon.
J. S. Mugylea to the .Statistical (.'onn.-fiK,
the great old-bearing legion i'l tite West
embraces porlioni of D-.ikottth, Nebraska,
Coloiado, ail ol'Xew Miixico, with Arizona,
Utiih, 'evala, California, Oregon, and
Washington Territories, cotnpriyinjr !7 de
grees of latitude, or a breadth of 1,100 miles
by nearly au eiiual length, aud making an
ci'cu of more than a million square miles.-
luisvuit region is traversed py numerous
, liioiintaiiis, which divide it into live diflerent
j great basins, each of which is Mtrroimded
by mountains, and watered by their stieams
, and snows, thereby interspersing this ii.i-
mouse territory with agricultural lands erpml
to the support, not only of the miners, but of
' a dense population." All thesit mountains
! ate "litelally stocked with minerals,, gold
' and silver being interspersed in profusion
j over thit immense surface, and daily brought
j to light by new discoveries.'' Nor do they
I abound only in gold und silver, but "vari
: ous sections of the whole region uro rich in
' precious stones, marble, gypsum, salt, tin,
I quicksilver, asphaltum, coal, iron, copper,
' and lead; together with mineral and medi
: ciual, thermal and coid spring and streams."
The yield of thii region in the precious
' metals alone, for the year just ended, will
not tall bclu,lliU,Uu0,0oU, and the Com
missioner of thu Ceiierai Land Oiliee, in bis
! last report, expresses the conviction that "it
will augment with the im Tease of pupuU-
tiou lor tais to come." J Ie further adds,
; that "with au amount of labor relatively
j equal to that expeuded in California, ap
! jilied to the gohblie'ds tdieady knijwn to
exist outside of that Stale, the production
i of this year, including that of California.
; would exceed J 10O.ino,O00." "In a word,"
j he shs, "the value of these mines is abso
lutely iuculeulable."
j Tilt CHEAT COLD REGIONS OP IDAHO.
Tho gold regions of Idaho owe their first
t discovery to tho rebound of the wave of
; emigration that first rolled from the older
States toward tho Pacific coast, sheer across
! the continent. This vast adventurous army
ol restless ami tirrlcxs gold seekers first dtl
fusod themselves through the rich tracts of
California und tho I'ucific coast, und has
been working it way back thence toward
tho heart of the wilderness, until what was
once laid down in the maps us an unkuowu
waste, save where sparsely investigated by
various xtplorers, is becoming dotted wilii
inl'uiit ketllumcuta by the magic Wulid of the
enchanter gold.
Tho Territory of Idaho is yet unsiirveyed,
and ouly imperfectly aubjecled to aeivntuic
exploration. Gold wu first discovert .1 in

the work of Spaniards, penetrating north

The Smta Vo G.i.uttc brings to notice the
value of tho Copper mines iu thu southern
portion uf Ne-w Mexico. Those minoi, be
sides producing the richest ore of any in the
United Slates, not excluding thoso of Itke
S iperior, yield tho be-t metal in the greut
cit abuudanco and with tho least lalxir.
For a low years before tho beginning of the
war some of these mines Were worked by
Messrs. Kls'jorg & Antberg of this city, and
tho copper wits shipped by wagousoverland
to I'orl l.abaca, ou the Gulf of Mexico, and
thence by ship to New York, yielding u
handsomu protit to the gentlemen who were
engaged in tho enterprise. In the New
York market the New Mexican copper com
manded a higher price than any other.
Tlio reU-llion aud the irruption of the
Tcxnns into this Territory in the spring of
lMtij had a disastrous ell'eet upon tho oper
ating of New Mexican copper mines, but
that ell'eet will terminate with tho war, aud
thoso largo beds of almost pure copper will
again command the attention of c.igitulists,
who will make t'.iein known to the com

In his Into message, Gov. Rood, of Utah,

THE CAMPOltNIA MINKS.
An article in the Alta Calaforniau says :
"The silver mines of the State have been -thrown
into the shade of those of Nevada
Territory, but it is not to be dotlbted that
lti a few years Esmeralda, the Slato Range,
Coso, Inyo, aud tho Mojavc regions, will
contribute thousands of pounds of silver to
commerce monthly. In silver mir.iug, too,
we have made irflportant improvements, ami
the tuno is not far distant when tho silver
miners of California und Nevada will stand
as high in their branches as do tho gold
miners now.
"The Ainiailt'ii mine is recognized as the
best quicksilver mine in the world.
Tho copper mines of California, thoiifh
they have been opened but a few years, aud
i tlio value ot many is still m doubt, nre con

have before threatened, in case of disaster,
to raise the black llag and give no quarter,
and now they have hit upon another beau
tiful programme. Hero it is from a lato
number of the Richmond Whig :
"Wo mny not, it is true, be able to send a

New York to do the ork ; nor have we
artillery thnt will carry Greek lire far enough
to reach them but wo have that which will
go further than horsemen can ride, and will
penetrate what tho might iet artillery would
make no impression ou we have money. A
million of dollars would lay in nshes New
York, Boston, Philadelphia. Ch icago, Pitts
burg, Washington, and all their chief cities. J
and tho men to do the business may be
picked up by the hundreds in the street of
thoso very cities. If it should be thought
unsafe to use them, there are daring uieu in

That what tec are saying may be given a
still more practical turn, we will add that
we know and have talked with a man a
well-known oflicer in the army, und every
way competent nnd tit who is ready anil

achieved. AVe havo addressed ourselves to
the authorities of tho Government, because
we feci not a shadow of a doubt that this
mode of warfare would under the ciictim
stanccn, be justifiable, legitimate and right.
But should they reject the plan, as we
supprise thev wou'.d then wc wish to remind

executed by private enterprise as by the di

l'ltoPAOATist; nv CtTTiNos Propagatintf
by cuttings is not wv vu understood by
people generally ks it should be. We may
say by gardeners, generally. Nearlv alT soft
wood will grow from cuttings, in the hand
of a careful person. It is a common wav lu
multiply grapes' currants, gooseberries, Ac. ;
but few persons, utiaquuinled with horticul
ture, well attempt the same thing w ith the
raspberry and mulberry, wsth which, follow
ing the same method, they would be nearly
if not quite as successful.
So with flowering shrubs, which in prop
agating, are usually " laid down." there its
not the lca3t difficulty, though with some
the success is mrt twit'orm as with others.
All the urborvities can be propagated by in
serting the branches of last year's wood four
or five inches' without removing the leaves.
Ai)ii i the time ichen thi irork ehovld b
thne. Prepare tbc brd, (lig deeply, pulver
ize the soil well, und put it in good order.
To be sure of the cutting growing, it should
be inserted fivo or sis inches in depth, and
place from four to six inches apart, the earth
being pressed firmly around them. They
should bo mulched, and watered moderately
daily in warm weather when the ground li
dry. They can be either potted in tho fall,
or let remain over winter' slightly protected
with u little straw or long manure.
Amateurs should plant grape-cutting

which we copy from the March number of
the Cullurist, will possess an interest to
agriculturist and gardeners:
There is a diversity of opinion in regwl
to the culture of tomatoes. Some prefer to
allow tho vines to cover the ground at will;
others prefer trellises or frames. The French
method is as follows: As soon as the clus
ter of flowers is visible they top the stem
down to th cluster, so that the flower
termeriatc the stem. The effect is that the
sap is immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which soo
push strongly, and produce another cluster
of flowers each. When these nre visible the
branch to w hich they belong is also topped
down to their level ; and this is dono rive
times successively, liy this means the
plants become stout, dwarf bushes, not a
bovc eighteen inches high. In addition- to
this, all the laterals that hav- no flowers,
and after the tilth topping all the lateials
whatsoever uro nipped oii'. In this way tha
ripe sap is directed into the fruit, w hich ac
quires a beauty, size and exel'ftr.te unattain
able by any other means.
