The Daily ‘Transcript, NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. Waite Prxz—A gentleman from White Pine, recently stated that he stopped at a lodging house, wherea mining superintendent of Virginia.City oes mctater OT. a chan: , FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1869. ae Tue ProsPecr or-tHEe STATE.— “tion to this State during the Spring and “,—-Summer-and-that-it-will-be~of-e kind . that will benefit us we have no doubt. . The demands and requirenients, as well ~~ gg the compensation for labor in this State are far better understood among Eastern people than ever before. The California Labor Exchange has pubs lished a circular which has been widely circulated, and will induce large numbers to come to our coast. The Exchange has been in operation long enough to understand the demands and the wages for the’ various avocations, and these facts are given in the circular; together with the price of living, which is lower here than in. Eastern cities. These well authenticated ‘facts cannot fail to draw to our coast a large the present demand continues.they will not fail to get work. White Pine will also draw large numbers from the most active and enter= prising citizens of the West who will ultimately reach this coast, help to Swell our population, and infuse into the various industries of our State a new life.California being a young and growing State; where new -industries are constantly springing up will not be overcrowded with people. If the supply is in excess of immediate—demands, new fields of labor will be opened for the surplus and great benefit wilt result. Men hesitate at first to enter new -ocetpations, but when ~ the~-pio. neers open the way hundreds eagerly rush in, and the experiment is soon made a fixed fact. The first woolen mill established in this State is an example in point. The‘fattempt to manufacturewoolen goods in California, when wages were high, to compete with Eastern manufastures was deemed a hazardous undertaking. But its practicability was_soon demonstrated by. success, and immediately new mills be* gan toaspring up. The result is that ~~ goods manufactured in our own State have control of the market and are preferred-above all others. There are other new industries to be opened, and an increased population will help the work along. Silk culture;wine manufacturing and the cultivation of. the beet for sugar, are young industries from which our farmers and manufacturers ouly hold back because they are making ‘\ larger profits in other industries. Let the laborers be increased so that there will bea surplus unemployed who are disposed be industrious and are willing to i pe these young industries will soon g?ew to importance, and thousands of acres"now unproductive willyield their increase. Every year California wants energetic, industrious, willing and intelligent workmen. Such men as thesé subdued the forests of the West and built up ina few years the great cities ofthe central plain. Ifsuch an be induced to come, another decade will make it one of the most flourishing States of the Union. Grass VALLEY Items.—From: the Union we get the following is desired in Grass Valles.

It is also stated that the remains‘ of men and horses; apparently of a party of. pros~——~peetors, were found atthe locality of the-reputed gold fields, A SHERIFF has charge of the Methodist Church at Auburn, was stopping, who had ‘carefully. examined the mines of the new district. — The Superintendent offered to-bet $10,~ 000-that he could take a gang of twen‘Out every claim yet opened in the disAlaska Correspondence. SirKa, Feb. 25th, 1869. Epitor TRANSCRIPT :—Renewing my . correspondence from the 8th inst., I give you the result of the trip of the Sagi-. naw upon her recent cruise to the. Kake villages. Leaving here upon the 11th, she reached the village of Bloneéupon. the 13th, and—remainedthere during} the night. Next day she reached the 5 trict>— = = —— . The Grass Valley Union has recently talked with a returned White Piner, who says that a tunnel has been run,. by another company, directly under and beyond the -shaft of the famous Keystone claim, which is now consolida¢ed with the Eberhardt, and nota trace of chloride was found. ~The tunnel was through hard rock all the way. ‘There are plenty of instances, where: chlorides of fair “quality have been exposed, that the miners have immediately discontinued work inorder to market their claims, feariag that angther blast might blow the last atom of Fichness out of their shafts. AH previous report, of no demand for mining. Bee te EN gE IETS EPR ENT LOIN ENR DEIN labor is corroborated. Miners going there for employment, must work on their own account; and while it is difficult now to obtain a location not already claimed three or four-deep, yet the expense ‘of all mining material makes work costly? It is estimated that-no shaft can-be sunk for leas than twenty dollars per foot—and running from that—to—forty dollars. Would space permit, we could give other particulars going to show, what nearly every man who has recently returned from White Pine expresses, that the country is vastly overrated, and comparing its riches with the excitement it has created, the grandest “bilk” of the time. News Items.—From the Union of yesterday we get the following: Secretary Boutwell anticipates that our bonds will‘soon be advanced to par. In Mississippi and Tennessee the State troops’ and Ku Klux have had fights. Grant has given the lie to the report that he refused to make any moe appointments until.the law was repeal. ed, by recommending a number of appointments for revenue and other offices. ; : In accordanée with a report of the Judiciary Committee, the Senate has accepted by 37 te 15 and passed a substitute forthe Tenure Act, which retains the principle of that Act while modifying its features. General Custer is safe. A delegation of Brigham Young’s numerous family, consisting of twenty wives, has started for Washington. Affairs in-Cuba are uncertain, but the insurgents profess confidence of success. The Captain~General held ‘a review of troops in Havana_and was cheered by the volunteers. American expedition to Cuba is untrue. He is:now in, Washington.

We next expect to hear him offering one to the éffect that the word “white” does not mean “yellow” asa The Congressman from Sierra has evidently not read the naturalization law lately. substitute for the one proposed. Tue largest man on record of modern times, was Miles Darden, a native of + North Carolina, born in 1798 He was seven ‘feet six inches high. At his death, in 1857, he weighed’ a little over 1,000 pounds. ; -THE main shaft-of the Bullion mine has now attained.a depth of 1,860 feét. being thé greatest depth yet reached on the Comstock lode. The ground is dry & eee nr and the air very hot. The-report } that Gen, Henningsenis leader of an guished himself by offering a resolution” first Kake village, and sent the pilot, . who was fuliy acquainted with the Indians at that place, ashore, to see who and what he could. He, however, found but one squaw, all the bucks and thefr families having left. Gen. Davis, who commanded the detachment of soldiers in person, on hearing the report of the pilot, went on shore, and soon.commenced thé work of devastation, . On the 15th of February the entire lot of hats were destroyed, all the canoes that were seen, and all the provisions. This village wasa small one,having but 10 or 12 houses, but they were very large-.ones,. the Indians on this coast being véry gregarious. The next morning the exKake village. . There, as at the former village, no one was found, solitude reigning supreme, It took but a short ‘time indeed to mete out retributive de~ struction, and now naught bet ashes remain to mark the site of the village. Provisions, canoes, salmon nets and traps, in fact everything needful for the destroyed—nothing was left. Steaming beyond this they entered a renowned locality, named Old Toms Ranch, where the massacre of the Royal Charlie was said to have taken place. This village was served as_the two former, and in the distance two Indians were seen runuing to the woods. The General having “no more worlds to conquer,” returned to the first place he had destroyed, and there learned the whole account of the murder from the squaw know as “Kake Sallie.” It differs but little from: the account sent in my last. Seme Indi. ans had been seen by Sallie since the destruction of the viliage, who declared more harm had been done than if they had taken 20 prisoners. The Chief of the tribe was highly indignant that the murder should ever have been commit. ¥v . ted, as he wished to remain at peace with the Whites. Generai Davis ieft word that he would hunt them to the death, and no village should ever have a position upon the islands, or an Indian be allowed to live ‘unless the murderers were given up to him.. Thus far they have been punished, and as ‘soon as their salmon fishing commences, when they all collect in a body, another cure the murderers. Our arrivals in port have been fewOn thé 18th of Feb. the schooner Idaho arrived, 16 days from San Francisco, ‘bound north to ‘the ports of Bluteheryson, Kole & Co. On the 21st the whaling barque Monticello arrived, 83-days from Boncluld. On=the 22d, . (Washington's Birthday) the Captain éf this craft gave a select dinner to the officers of the post and myself. It was a sort of a wind-fall, and I can assure you we did it every justice. Tropical fruits are seldom seen here, and it was a glorious sight to behold the mellow, ripe” bananas, afid the golden: cbated oranges profusely displayed as on this occasion. How many times “The day We celebrate” was drank, . am unable to say, butit was toasted with Vivacity, good humor and. zeal. : 4 Business has been very dull since the departure of the Winged Arrow, but.we hope fora more auspicious day to dawn on our infant Territory.
