Nevada has a population of 19,134, Yuba 10,865, and Colusa 6,171. The profits of a road do. not depend upon ' the population of the termini, but upon the amount of business that may be done and the scope of cduntry for which the towns maybe depots. For instance, a road from. Marysville would pass through a rich agricultural and wining country and would command the trade of a large country beyond the terminus at either end. Marysville would ‘be: ~~~the real terminus ofeach —road-—andwould give advantages of competing lines of travel thence to SanFrancisco. All these advantages could then be secured by direct communication with Sacramento, and_many of them by a road to Colfax. The chief advantage in ‘favor of the latter route. however; is its shortness. _The Nevada county As» sociation, through its Executive Committee, is seeking information in regard to all these routes, and they are also investigating the question “whether it will pay” to build, and we have no doubt, judging from facts and figures already obtained, that it. will be dew~ onstrated by the fiaal.report of the committee, that a road can be bailt trom Nevada county to some point, which will pay a good profit on the expendis ture required for its construction. ° QuarkTz Mirus In Nevapa County. The Grass Valley Union has the following : In Nevada county at the. present time there aré sixty crushing mills, used to reduce quartz.or cement, These contain in the aggregate 490 stamps. It is estimated that during the year 1869 not leas than 225,000 tons of quartz were crushed, in this county. In Bridgeport township in*-1869; about 30,000 tons of cement were milled. The year’ 1870 shows a cheering inerease of business.in quartz mining throughout It is estimated that in 1870 not less than 250,000 tons of quartz were milled in the county, while the cement mills have been lergely increased in number and in capacity. Some of the papers below tell the world that the mining industry is not fiourishing. Mrnino Trriss.—The miners of this part of the country, says the Grass Val. ley Union; are generally taking the proper course and are securing patents for their mining claims. . In this matter they are granted every facility which the Land Office at Sacramento can extend, . The cost of getting good titles to mines is so small, and the ex~ penses for the purpose sre so low that we wonder any miner delays in_ the matter. It-takes less money to buy a claim from the Government, than to keep up @ possesaury title,. under the custom of miners, for two or three years. 2 STATE REVENUE Stamrs.—The State revenue derived from the sale of stamps is found by Controller Watt to. be $20,000 less this year than lastyear, This deficiency is attributed in part to the new branch of business’engaged in by’ the telegraph company, that of, selling money orders.

The barley crop also averaged 16 bushels per acre, while Indian corn yielded 29 bushels per acre, Ezra H. Van Decor, formerly of Placer county, perished recently from exposure near Belmont, Nevada. About the first of December he started for California with twohorses, and became lost near Cloverdale. It is believed that he was slightly deranged in mind, as he had been lost on one or two former occasions under inexplicax ble circumstances.
