Have just retuffttfd front month's visit to California. That is a fine country to look at, on account of the continuous rains in Winter and the ury, dusty Summer. Real estate both in the cities and country, is held at high price*. It Is no place for men with moderate means. I thought some of giving yon a description of the country, but this has been done so often that I will not do so. I stopped at Virginia C9ty, Nevada, and went down into the great Bonanza Mines, 1,500/rrt nmler ground. For two hours the foreman led us through solid silver ore, from 128 to 300 feet thick. The slcht of so much wealth is simply bewildering beyond comprehension— marvelous to behold. Thin- take out 750 tons of ore per day, yielding 1140,000 to 13,000,0ft) per month. The company are now sinking another shaft, and as soon ss it reaches the vien, they can take eut l/00 tons a day. The crushing capacity of the ntfl Is are totally insufficient to mince the eve, so largo quantities are shipped to other mills for redaction. Perry, yon ought to make a trip out to the great Went, and see what a great country we have here, for youi*eTf-U would pay you—if yawll eotne to "Zkui" I will giw yon a turn around In the finest turnout the city affords. Gen. Kimball, the "old war horse," would join in with me to do the honors to The Mail man. Would show yon President Young and some of hts harem, asd everything of iatereat to be seen.

Notwithstanding the accident from whicn Mr. Samuel Stone is suffering, and which sUU confines him to his residence, his grocery business is not allow, ed to suffer. Mr. J. I*.
