TIN MINES.
'- Grand IMseovery A magnificent
Tin 3tine Almost Within Sih-i ,
or the City
-FVon the Albany ncjjts(cr. j
A few days ago a party of pros-.
'pectors from Brownsville unearthed
what is believed by many to be a ,
bonafide tin mine. The ledge j
crops out on Wiley creek, a tribu-
tary of the Santiam, about three'
miles above the toll-gate on the
Cascade mountain wagon road, i
and is about twenlv miles from
this city. The ledge is one hun
dred feet wide where it crops out
and has been traced for several
miles, we believe.
Messrs. John Scott, A. C. Haus
man, A. H. MrNab, G. A. Dyson,
-John Morriscn, J. B. Moss and Jo
seph Harrison are the original dis
coverers and locators. A mininjr
'strict has been organized and a
recorder elected, and a number
have taken up extensions on the
tiu ledge.
The rock is very rich in a white
mjtal that not only resembles tin, j
but in everv test to which it has !
;foen subjected, auswers the. pur
pose as well as the imported Eng
lish block tin. Government has
a large standing reward for the
discoveior of a veritable tin mine,
$100.0' G we be hove, and the indi
cations seem to be that our Browns
ville friends will get away with it.
As the discrtfcry is of recent
date, no work lokiiig to the de
velopment jf the l'Jtr,i .has been
made, and the test so for have j
been made from the lop rock, or
croppings, and, as abov remarked,
these tests -were oi' the most sails-
factory character, indicaiiii that its parent's displeasure, and shed
the rock was extremely ri&h hi din tears of sorrow for its faults,

scheme yet found on the Pacilic
slope; but we are much entitled to
large finds as any people, and
could put it to as good use.
Crystals of the oxide of tin have
been found in Massachusetts, "N ew
Hampshire, New York, New Jer-
;fv. Virrinin fJnlifnrriw. and Afis-
souri, ami those of California and;
Missouri seemed promising, 3et so
far we believe none have proved
sufficiently profitable to be worked.
The most celebrated tin mines are
those of Cornwall, England, which
have been worked for centuries.
There are, also, tin mines at
Banca, Mexice: and one or more
in Australia. It will be seen, that
tin mines are not as plentiful as
the various other metals, and such
a discovery in Oregon would prove
of more intrinsic value than the
. discovery of any other character or
kind of mines. We shall await
the report of the assay of the rock
with no little interest.
-An American writing from
Spain urges the shipment of labor
saving implements there. Spanish
farmers plough with the end of a
piece of wood about five inches
thick, as was done in the middle
ages, sowing and reaping machines
are unknown, and grain is not
threshed.

The Illinois legislature, after
having been importuned to do so
for many years, inis at length de
termined to honor the memory of
Stephen A. Douglass, one of the
illustrious sonsf the prairie state
in monumental marble. Afouda
tion fortius monument has longdis-Jrg-ured
a pleasant locality in the
southern part of Chicago, and
sufficient funds for its proper
completion have now befi ap

over our heads luirdlv gray.
Tlic Infinite has sowed his name
in the heavens in burning stars,
but in the earth He has sown His
name in tender flowers,
Genius loves toil, impediment
and poverty; for from these it
gains its strength, throws off the
shadows, and lifts its proud head
to immortality,
Gentleness which belongs to vir-
tue is to be carefully distinguished
from the mean spirit of .cowards
anil the fawning assent of syco
phants. '
No man is ever good for any
thing until he has found two things
first, something to love, and sec
ond, something to reverence.
Nothing is more amiable than
true modesty, and nothing is more
contemptible than the false. The
one guards virtue, the other be
trays it.
Mental pleasures never cleg:
unlike those of the bod, they are
increased bv rendition, approved
by reflection and strengthened by
enjoyment.
Overburden not thy memory, to
make so .faithful a servant thy
slave. Have as much reason as a
camel, to rise when thou 'hast thy
Mil load.
The worthiest people are the
most injured by slander, as we
usually find that to be the best
fruit which the birds have been
pecking at.
A full-blown rose "besprinkled"'5
with the purest dew is not so beau-
Itiful as a child blushing: beneath
Um iiui look, stand the motliers
who marked out to us from thence
our life.
