McFARLAND. i eneasaamettaathebatenemnatnatsietneeeneenetiteeeenemmenentnennemeneeemaemeell Want. of CxbrraL—The money’ market is ‘exceedingly tight in this! State, and it is next to impossible to secure money for the development of the resources of the State. Especially’ is this the case in mining localities. ‘San Francisco not only sinks. all the «capital of ‘that city, but month after month drains the richest mines in the State in order to’ satisfy the mania one speculation. Homestead associations ‘and land speculations have been the . ruling passion with San Francisco capi; taliste, and they handle lands and riv~ ers for the most part just as the skillful gambler does a deck of cards. Neither lands or mines improve in the hands of such capitalists as we have in this country. They are a hoard of specula— tors who pounce upon products, lands or mines, not to render them useful or productive, but that they may control the market and sell at an advance. The Southern counties of the State are almost virtually closed to settlers of small means by these speculators who have monopolized the-best lands, and who. now hold them at such exhorbitant prices, that prevent the settlement of the country by placing farms beyond the reach of thrifty farmers of small means. In most of the counties, these land monopolists control the county ad» ministration, and while they assess ‘themselves for $150, they hold the lands at from $50 to $100 per acre. Speculators control entire districts, and without developing any of the resources are waiting for markets. For miles around San Francisco every available piece of land is owned by speculators, under the name of hométead associations, and shares are taxed in order to enable the managers to control until prices go up. Hundreds of poor men are investing every dollar they can spare in these swindles, while the specs . alators stand ready to reap the benefit, and u poor man can hardly find a piece of land big enough to put a house on, that is not held by some association. _ Thus it is that even in the most favored portion of the State, capital is absorbed and almost every avenue of-enterprise closed to men who have not fortunes, In the mines, this abuse of capital is much more keenly felt. Capitalists direct their attention almost exclusively to the incorporation of mining companies and the’ sale of stock, and. where . : mines are developed by labor and capitalists get control, every dollar made is invested in speculation or in building up other parts of the State. There are hundreds of opportunities in this county for investment, where the prospect of profit isas great asin almost any ordinary business, but oyr mines are drained to satisfy the demand for San Francisco speculations. The prospect is indeed dull for the immediate futare of this-State, unless funds for development can be obtained from some source: By means of the railroad, some of the live forces which actuate the people of the central States may be brought over to us, and the surplus capital of the Kast may be obtains ed for development. It is certain that California needs active enterprise, backed by capital, and a general revolution in the use of the latter before much healthy progress can be made by the State. _—~+ TRAIN TALKS TREASON.—In his last lecture to the Mormons at Salt Lake, George Francis Train made use of the following language : I say you have been the most out-. raged people on the face of the globe, and if our Government dares to inter fere in the future with any of your notions, you must fight. You remember how in 1857, six hundred Mormons at the head of Echo, kept an entire army at bay. If you could frighten them under such ciréumstances, what can you do now, with 100,000 Mormons Teady to — for their religion and rights? ‘He told the Mormons not to trade with ~ Gentiles or pay them anything. RECUPERATION. OF THE SovuTH.— the marvels of the last few years: Few . people can realize'that the’ States which two years ago were’so poverty stricken, that bread to feed ‘the starving inhabi-~ ,. tants, and ‘clothing to cover their na‘. kedness, had to-be sent:down from the Northern “States, have for two years . raised more valuable ‘crops, per_capita, ‘. than the people of the.Northern States. A South Carolina paper says that the “South has every reason to anticipate a a crop of about 8,000,000 bales of cotton, which, valued at $108 per bule of 455 pownds at twenty-five cents, will give $324,000,000 ; also a corn crop of. 285,000,000 bushels; valued at $230,-000,000; and the sugar, wheat, tobacco and other crops will give $150,000,000. more, giving, in all, a product of not less ‘that $704,000,000, which with a population of not over 11,000,000, will show an average of $64. per head,which largely exceeds that of the Northern j'and Western States.” THE Mount Cunis Cans.—Dr. J. G. Holland writes the Springfield Repub~ lican of his trip across the Alps, and thus notes the central rail: “It is grasped by two wheels opposite to each other, under a pressure that makes their slipping upon the iron almost an impossibility. There ig no limit to the amount of hugging power which these two wheels may be made to exert upon the rail. This for going up the hill. In going down, the brakes, instead of being applied to the wheels of the engine and the cars, are applied directly to the rail. Two brakes, opposed to each other, are made to hug it so tightly that. they can stopa train anywhere, or hold it hanging from a crag in the air, if necessary. The curves inthe road are so sharp that it would be impossible to keep the cars on an ordinary track. The cars are -short, and made with seats upon the sides, like those of a horse car.” : Nevapa had a sirocco last week, and it made things warm in that State. Describing it, the Hamilton Hmpire said, outside the world was intolerable. Great rolling clouds of dust filled the air,and hung above the city like a beat against their frames as a half reefed sail beats the masts of a ship when a variable gale is blowing. Houses of wood strained and creaked like the timbers of a ship when labor‘ing amidst confused seas, and even: solid brick and stone dwellings were filled with dust, and the tin. upon their roof boards rattled perpetual threats to leave. RECONSTRUCTION.—Attorney General Hoar instructs General Canby that as a condition precedent, the Legislature of Virginia must submit their Constitution to the action of Congress before that State can be admitted to Congressional representation. He says, mores ever, the Legislature does not become such in fact ‘till Congress shall have approved the new constitution ; nor can they before such approval pass laws without. taking the test oath. ae er THE WESTERN PaciFic.—The Western Pacific Railroad,between Haywards and Sacramento, by way of Stockton, was expected to . be opened for travel yesterday, and during the Fair two daily trains are annouuced to run each way. By the Western Pacific a trip may be made through a very attractive portion of the State. : A CALIFORNIA FarM.—The present year’s yield of the farm of Mr. Bidwell, of Chico, in this State, has been 35,282 bushels of wheat, 10,300 of barley, 900 o! oats, 300 tons of hay, besides’ eleven acres of corn not yet Karvested. The yield of grain this year has been 2,200 bushels in excess of last’ ~ Santa Cruz Propucrs.—The annus al product of lumber; of all kinds, in Santa Cruz County, is set down by the Sentinel at 20,000,000 feet. The value of lime produced $360,000 ; leather, $250,000 ; powder, $500,000 ; butter and cheese, $15,000. ; ——~—oe——___" Ir is reported four persons were drowned upon Lake Tahoe, on Wednesday night. bad The recuperation of the South isone of . canopy. Canvas houses writhed and_. ‘ stage of the science of geology, says the San Francisco News, the term “min~ ‘eral belts” is used with a great deal of vagueness. We often read of copper belts, the gold belts, the silver belts and others, as if the earth’s crust was divided-off into regular parallel divisions, and in these, traceable without limit, the exclusion of the other. We believe that a great mistake is made in such an arrangement, and erroneous teachings and speculations are the consequence. If any body of the earth’s surface can be called a mineral belt, it is the elevated western portion of the American continent, but even to that, the term appears to be inappropriate. The rocks of England and the old settled parts of the United States have been quite thoroughly examined, and the theory that satisfied the conditions, as far as the explorations were carried, has been adopted as correct for all localities. Geological reports have told us that certain minerals need not be looked for on this coast, and the next day the miner, regardless of science, will turn up the non-existing (scientifically) treasure. But the report of the learned man had gone before him, the outside world regarded the discoverer’s assertions with ‘distrust, and an important resource of the country is for years neglected. The mineral discoveries of the past five years bid fair. to overturn the old established theories of their formation, and if our geologists and minealogists are capable of originality, and will cast aside such theories as have proven inapplicable, new ones may be found that will cover all cases, and their reports, instead of. leading into error: will be found instructive, and assist_in the development of the resources of the country. It will not do for miners to follow the preconceived ideas of tracing up to any great extent any certain mineral formas tion. Along the coast of California are found oils, coals, tin, copper, cinnabar, gold, silver, iron and many other min‘erals, that it has been supposed could not associate together. Farther inland, in the Coast Range, in the Sierra Nevas da, in the Great Basin, and in the Rocky Mountains, the same minerals are found and in the same mixed localities. Copper springs up amid the gold-bearing veins, or it may alternate with lead, tin, or silver, and in-following the supposed belt we may be led, in a short distance, into a coal formation. .The only rule it seems best, at present to rely upon, is that the valuable minerals are where you find them. , . THE lace-makers in France, it is estimated, are women and girls, and number about 200,000. Their wages are on the average twenty-four cents ‘per day; some who are particularly skilful and industrious earn sixty-seven cents for ten hours hard work. Lacemakers are mostly peasant women, who work in their own houses. The raw materials used in the manufacture of lace in France aré spun specially for it. The price of the raw material amounts to from six to twenty per cent. of the value of the production. Pillow lace is made on a sort of frame, light and simple in construction, and is held on the knees of the lace-maker: Lace generally takes the name of the town in which it is produced. The annual production of lace in France is valued at $19,200,000, and is sold to the United States, Great Britain, Brazil, Russia, India and other countries. ALEX. T: Stewart of ’New York; returns an income for 1868 of $3,019,218, upon which he pays a tax of upwards of $150,000. Wm. B. Astor returns an income of $1,072,212.
