Tbe Monties town of Bethlehem it situated on both banks of the Lehigh riser, twelve mi let abate ils'confloence witb tbe Delaware at Eaiton. It it reached by tbe North Penntyitaoia railroad, which eotnecM it witb Philadelphia, aod by tba Lebigb Valley aod Now Jereey Central railroads, connecting it with NawYork.

Crossing tbe river from the atstion, yon enter tbe town proper, the depot being sitnated in what is called Sooth Bethlehem. On entering tbe town the first object of interest which comes undsr onr netiee is ths Young Ladies' Seminary, oa tba corner of Cbnrch aad Main stseeu.

To show l^e difference of tbe ' , field of the Austin mines, we would refer i to tbs statement of tbe California mill, from tbe first of Decembe*. 1864, to tbe 1 last of July, 1865, a period cf eight months. I Tte ore worked averaged $330 36, aod that from mines in comparativelo an undeveloped state.
