nae) __. follow out, taking advantage of the imet ‘The Daly Bemscig, WEDNESDAY, DEC, Lith, 1867, matters of great interest to tains many tax-payers, and’) number of important suggestions that should command the -Gttention of our Legislature. No man in the State has studied more closely the questions of finance, and no officer has been more faithfal to the people: in the discharge of duty than Mr. Oulton, He has system&tised the work in his office, and done thuch to bring the State finances to their present healthyjcondition. Of course it would be impossi~ ble for us to discuss at length the recom. mendations of the report, bat'a few of them in regard to the condition of finaneee willbe read with interest. Four years.ago every important Fund was encumbered with a large floating debt. Now a large surplus is on hand in each Fund to meet the demands, notwithStanding the fact that a small portion of the tax of ig¢7 has been ‘received, — From January 1864 to November of the present year, the State debt was reduced $196,640 71, beside $2,036,106 62 which was expended for national pur= poses. These figures speak well for the administration of the Union party, and ‘show the falsity ‘of the charges of corruption made against the party. The Bemocracy come into power with a flush treasury and with a system of financial management which, if they provements suggested by the Controller, they cannot fail to better the condition of the State and at the same time greatly reduce the rate of taxation. The Controller points out clearly how this may be done. He estimates . Un § . for conveying the water were carried _ steam with the aid of waste coal d ~ that the collections of revenue requires the year 1887, and as there is no —— 12 per cent. and recommends the ap. pointment of a committee by the Legislature to carefully revise our revenue laws, and devise some more economical plan for the collection of taxes: The State tax for the present year was $1 13 on each one hundred dollars. The Controller points out how it may be reduced the coming year to 90 cents on each $100, if no new special taxes are imposed. During the last two years only 88% cents were levied for the run. ning expenses of the government, the remainder being for special objects and for the payment of interest on the publicdebt. The Controller points out the inequality of the tax assessment in the several counties and recommends the establishment of a State Board of Equalation, authorized to fix the rate of taxation after the assessment of taxes is made. Ifthe Legislature appoints the Special Committee as suggested, and they give their whole attention to the revenue laws, the result of their labors will be good, and if the Democracy fail to redeem their pledges of economy in the Geverument of the State, the cause will n their own mismanagement and corruption. Heavy Ratn.~The late rains have been heavier than any since 1861-2. The water in the Yuba river at the Point where it is taken out from the canon, at the head of Bear ¥alley, raised forty feet, and the heavy boxes away. The total fall since December 5th, as indicated by the guage at the office of the Soath Yuba Canal Co. was 714 inches. The heaviest fall was from 11 o'clock a. a, on Saturday to 6 o'clock on Sunday, being 8,82 inches. The total fall during the season has been 25.68 inches. ia ', CHRISTMAS aND New Yrar’s Goons, Jacob & Simon Rosenthal, at the old stand on Broad street, have just receivedan élegant lot of’ goods suitable for presents for the old as well as the young, Go and look at their good’,and we'll bet our hat you will be charmed with the display.

The scarcity of fuel, coal especially, prevented at these deep steam engines for pumping, ete.; but, with an excellent system of races and . reservoirs, the water was got rid of by. water wheels and turbines. ‘The mines having reached a depth of 3,200 feet, adits were from time to time driven, to lessen the labor of the machinery ; but at last a point was reached which threatened the total suspension of the works, and, consequently, the starvation of nearly 2,500 miners and smelters. Surveys were made and a tunnel commenced in 1859, for the purpose of making the last effort for draining the mines still deeper. This tunnel is now com= . pléted, and has satisfied all ex pectations, Though twenty-two English miles. long, ten‘ feet high,and eight wide,with a rubble arch overhead, so exact wero the surveys that in the eighteen ends; one mile from each other, the bearings were out of reckoning but five inches for the whole length, and that was occasioned by a strong lode of iron ore disturbing the surveyor’s instruments. Two million cubic yards of solid rock were displaced, 10,000 pounds of powder used, and if the holes for blasting Were put in one line, 180 miles would be their aggregate length. Great rejoicing took place after its completion. A solemn thanksgiving in the Lutheran churches; a torchlight procession of over 30,000 miners, in full gala uniform, and headed by sixteen bands of music, who moved through the chief mining towns at night, in order to receive the distinctions, presents, etc., distributed by the Mining Minister of the district: It is now certain that with these appliances the mines can be carried on to. adit possible, steam engines will then have to be brought into requisition. — These mines were first commenced to be worked in the year 926, and have been productive ever since. NoTICcE oF BILLs.—Among the bills of which notice was given in the Legislature, Judge Roberts has given notice of one to“limit the hours of labor,” and Capt. Rollins has given notice of intention to offer a bill making “eight hours a day’s labor, in the absence of special contract.” These bills, no doubt, both have the same object—the estab lishment of the eight-hour rule, Capt. Rollins has also given notice of severaj other bills which we should judge to be as follows: “An Act for the encourage-— ment of Mining,” and “An Act relative to roads and highways.” He has also given notice of a bill.to repeal the law incorporating Meadow Lake. I is said that there are three extinct voleanic craters near Red Mountain City, in Montana, which are so deep that the light is entirely excluded from their depths, and that when a stone is thrown into them, no sound can be heard of it reaching the bottom.
