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.

. 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.

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.

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.

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.
