rz) g.'lic JHuUb stovUm. ASTORIA. OREGON: .SATURDAY MARCH 12, 1SS1 ,C. inCLiM) .Editor. The World's Fair. There seem& to be some trouble about getting subscriptions to the proposed world's fair in New York. .The sum of 81,000,000 is required for a legal beginning, and only about one-tlrird of it is yet sub scribed. The cost of the building alone is estimated at 4,000,000. The disinclination to invest is the more singular, as there is no lack f money in New York in the 'hands of men who will be largely benefited by the travel which the fair will attract. "While New England and middle states might reach the scene of display at a small outlay, the south and west will pay immense sums to the rail roads. From Chicago and the west the fair will not be much less that twenty dollars each way. Oregon will be glad to get round tickets at $200. There is no doubt but the railroad men will make up the sum rather than have the pro ject fail, but they are doubtless willing to let merchants hare a share in the stock. Evidence accumulates that there is plenty of money available in eastern markets for investment in mines, but the schemes accepted wniust bear close investigation and be equal in all respects to the best representations made by the pro jectors. Buyers of mining proper ties now require something more than glittering reports of develop ments, and estimates of ore in sight. The' demand and will know, either from reliable authority or from personal examination, just what the mines are intrinsically worth. Prospects without mineral, based upon proximity to well known paying properties alone, possess no attractions for capital. If men of means are to take hazards in any direction the pres ent era of railway building offers far more and better opportunities than mere speculative mining. "We have the most substantial as surances from men who are both willing and financiably able to purchase and operate mines which are paying, or can easily be made to pay, reasonable profits upon the money invested, that they will comsider favorably any project of this kind which is rightly presented. A number of parties are now seek ing opportunities of this charac ter in Oregon, Idahe, and Wash ington, and the editor of The Asiorian writes that he is fre quently asked for information con cerning this hitherto much ne glected but certainly promising afield for investment. 4 Angus Cameron has been elect ed to succeed Senator Carpenter. Secretary of war Lincoln took charge of his department on the 10th. It is believed that the governor of Minnesota will appoint A. J. EcWrton senator. John Hay, assistant secretary of state, resigns on account of a pri T&te engagement, but consents to remain temporarily in charge. The San Francisco Bulletin a lew days ago published an edi torial rticlc from which it ap peared that negotiations for the sale to the government of the fcteam whaler Mary and Ellen, for a cruise in search of the Jeannette, had been complicated by the claims of the middlemen for com missions. A telegram has been received by the engineer is charge of the whaler, instructing him to immediately stop procuring any further furnishings and .supplies for the steamer. The general opinion in marine cir cles is that the United States government has purchased her and tkat she will be sent north early la May on the Jeannette search amd relief expedition. SEW TO-DAY.
