Raymond, MiningCommissloner, in
his recently pulilislietl remirt nf tho
mineral resources of the Pacific
States nnd Territories nppreciates
the intelligence so tlie miner. He
says:
“Tlie average miner of tlie new
territories is far superior, both in
natural intelligence nnd acquired
knowledge, to the laborers of the
older States. This is natural. We
get here the most valuable class of
tlie pcopleof Europe, for to emigrate
requires a certain amount of courage,
enterprise and thrift in saving tlie
money needed to pay for their pass
age. In like maimer tlie far West
draws from us the sturdiest element
of our population, tlie young men
without capital, imt witli wliat is
much better, robust health, courage,
enterprise and industry. The best
part of New England is now-a-d»ys
to lie found in tlie Nort It western
States ; and, doubtless, as the new
territories begin to be permanently
settled, ns society is formed there on
a sound foundation, tlie generous
blood wehavesent thither will tell.”
