Tiie dawn of Tintie. judging from tlie appea-tnc: of the feur dUt'ereni town, m i'av di-tiict. does not show that briiiiant future represented and promi-ed by the mining developments now going on. foj- the simple re:ison, which must be .leasing to all readers or'this article: Tintie can boast of having hav-ing a .piiet. steady, law-abiding set of citizen. 1 h-r miners, morally speaking, speak-ing, are a credit to the District. There ;s not an idle man to be found in the towns. The mini's, generally, are away from the settlements, and the m hie & do not often visit the towns, the (-onsnjuenoe of which is, Mr. saloon keeper and Mr. store keeper keep-er haw plenty of time to pick their teeth, u, little and reileet upon the busy times in the principal mines. I The dull times in our town reminds , me of a little circumstance worthy ol ! note. I'iie individual of whom 1 am to speak was. up to a short time ago, j special correspondent o the Salt Lake . 'Iri'i'u-. He was mournfully expound-1 expound-1 ing to me the true philosophy or I meaning of ''The laborer is worthy of j his hire." From his conversation, and j facts to my own knowledge, I learned I that he had been employed at a eer- tain salary, or price, by the company ; running that sheet, to 'furnish a certain cer-tain number of letters for a certain amount., which deponent averred lie had fulfilled; but the other parties, after live or six 'lr,nhii letters, have failed to respond with the funds. His case, as a newspaper correspondent, is worse than that of a lightning rod pedlar, sewing machine, or life insurance insu-rance agent. I left him, hoping that he might have full redress for his wrongs. The Mammoth Copperopolis seems to be the le.remost mine that is being worked. They have a large force of miners employed, and a constant string of wagons are hauling ore from the mine to their mill, a distance of j ten miles. The mill and furnace arc ' running, and, so far, have proved a I great success. j The Gernianin, under the superin-j superin-j tendencc of Mr. Planchard, a newly arrived Bnslonlan, who is here with ! his lady, intending to make this his , ! home, is pushing on work vigorously, j to his own, and the company's great satisfaction, Ifeiri at present completing com-pleting a line wagon road to the mine, is tiuishing a slide preparatoryto shipping ore. The company has a large quantity of ore on the dump, from which good results arc expected. 111. Lapham, ex-superintendent of the company, is here, looking hale, hearty, and cheerful. The Jilack Dragon, owned principally princi-pally by the Shoehridge Mill Company, Compa-ny, lias a force of men at work, and is preparing for a winter's campaign on Hint celebrated monster mine. The Sidney is being worked slowly, but is shipping a respectable quantity of ore daily. The Lucky, some time ago, underwent under-went a change of hands.
