The old Placer county canal, after passing into its hands, has been improved and extended until the Company now owns about sixty miles of ditches. The capacity of the main ditch is 6,000 inches of water, the greater portion of which is used by the Company in’ operating its claims, Of these the principal are the Pacific, the Central, Jehoshaphat, half of the Gold Run, the Home Ticket, the Gem. Altogether it owns 32 claims, required, If every man who hopes to’ be benefited will subscribe for stock, even if the amount. is small, tion. “We-heard a suggestion made by Hon. Thos. Findiey_of Grass Valley, which we regard as a ‘g0odone, and it should be acted upon. Every business man who operates in this county, trades with some one in San Francisco. It would be an easy matter, Mr. FindJey thinks, to raise quite an amount from that source. Let each man engaged in business here, solicit a small subscription from the parties with whem he trades in San Francisco. There is but litthe doubt that quite a ‘large amount coyld be raised in this manner, Let the committee of canvassers act upon the suggestion, and meantime, let every man, woman and child come forward and assist in the enterprise, while there is a chance of securing the road.
