. '. time and again discussed in the TRANscircular above alluded to, which is 2, hod STATE Arb To IMMIGRATION —We ‘ have receiveda circular,headed “Chamber of Commerce Rooms,” Sun Francisco, asking a number of questions in regard to the extent, availability and advantages offered for settlers in Nevada county. All these matters, have been =—=— ORIPT, and we shall continue from tite to time to.answer them for the benefit of the “Chamber of Commerce.” We ROW propose to say a. few words in regard,to the opening proposition of the signed by Alexander D. Bell. It commences as fuilows: __“It is proposed to_ask the ‘next Leg_ Concerned, it will be a waste of the _ its inhabitants, and while it would be —_‘meglected . this State in the hope of making a for__ this State for years, and is as uncertain _ member that population without emwho all are employed, than to have islature to make a liberal appropriation of public funds, with the especial view of encouraging European and Eastern farmers, with means and families, to settle in this State.” — How the Chamber of Commerce proposes to dispose of this “liberal appropriation,” whether as a bonus to farmere of means from Europe and the East, we are not informed, but we are pretty well convinced of the fact that so far as the general welfare of the State is public funds. We hayealways thought that the welfare of-a locality should depend on the enterprise and energy of . the company obtained from the U. S_holders the President says; “Last month Government a patent for 284 acres; covering the Eureka lode for a length cf 1,680 feet, with all ite dips, angles and variations—the procurement of the patent although attended with considerable expense and trouble, is worth more . than it cost, as the coripany’s title is now perfect, and beyond attack from any quarter. During the past year the company have bought the Roannuise mine (or $7-40ths of it), adjoining the Eureka on the west, and comprising 2,000 feet in length on the Eureka lode, with all dips, angles, etc. This is ‘thought to be an important acquisition ‘forthe future of the company, as it ives with the ground previously owned, 3,680 feet on the lode, with only 1,400 feet prospected.” ‘The Superintendent furnishes the following particulars of the workings of the mine : 21,526 tons of quartz have been hoisted, and 20,588 tons crushed in 8074 working days, averaging 66} tons per day, with'30 stamps; on surface, 1,798 tons;. have worked 187 tons of sulphurets, and have 70 tons on hand valued at $10,000; have driven 1,085 feet of drifts; sunk 200 fect of winze, and 80} feet of the main shaft; 4th level drifts are 1,418 feet in length, and well enough for the State to offer premiums for the encouragement of certain industries, which will be beneficial to the entire State, and for which every resident may compete, we are utterly Opposed to placing at the disposal of any set of men, public funds, which may be used-to the advancement oi one locality, while. others -are-entirely . Why should the “Chamber of Commerce” want money from the State to induce men of means to come and settle in this State. Satisfy such men that our farmers are doing better than they, that the lands yield abundance, and that for the sarplus there is “ample market, and they will come without the expenditure of the State funds. It inducements are to be used let those who hope to be benefitted organise immigrant aid societies and supply funds by private contributions, and then let them be careful not to deceive “men of means’ by inducing them to come to tune without labor, or under the im. provident and exhaustive system of farming which has been carried on in in profit as “gambling stocks” or “prospecting for quartz.” Tose who are now calling so lustily for immigrants to this State, should reployment, would only impoverish the country. It would be far better to have & population of 1,000 ina community, 10,000 where only one third can obtain employment or are producers. ° The first effort of the people of this State should be directed to effecting auch changbs in labor as will produce commodities for which there is an active demand to supply the people with what they want. Such producers, supplied ‘with manufactures to adapt other com. modities to use, would soon bring prosperity. It does seem a little strange that while in San Francisco they have an employment society, established by private contributions, to furnish the large number of idle men with places, they now inprist Upon encouraging a large immigration; especially where interest is greater and money harder to get on good security than in most of the Eastern States, We are satisfied the Chamber of Commerce has taken the wrong course, as we do not believe im. migration will felp us materially until sone of the evils existing are corrected, and when we do need immigrants, we believe that the State funds should not be applied, but that each locality should gga on the enterprise of its own peo: F1Loaeing bas just been abolished in rage $27 80 per ton, and cost to mill and mine, $9 65. : tion, October 1, 1865, to date the re ceipts of the company from. bullion 5th level 640 feet; 4th level has produced 37,485 tons of quartz, and will yield at least 5,000 tons more; from 5th level have only drawn 1,807 tons.

It treats of fevers, liver, indigestion, and in fact all the diseases. The work is written in plain English, so that it can be clearly understoud by any one of ordinary intelli_ gence. A letter, speaking of the book, says: “We know from persona] knowltia and scarlet fever remeay is a sure cure.” This alone would be worth the subscription price. Aside from its medical character, the work contains large number of receipts for the preparation nursing which render it valuable in every family, though for the treatment of diseases they might prefer to trust a physician.
