The publication of the Press has not made its proprietors ore dollar better off, financially, than they were when the first number was issued, nearly *gixteen months ago. They have persevered thecause they believed their enterprise was a public benefit and might prove, eventually, a benefit to themselves. They think so yet, andintend to complete another volume, at least. Meanwhile, they have a right to demand, onceand for all, that the community for whom they have labored should do some itthing for them. They have never boasted mor begged, and never will; the Press can prospects of the company have nevertheless become of the most cheering character.— Subscription books were opened in_ this . place om the 14th inst., just after an informal meeting ef the company, and in twentyfour hours thereafter the amount of stock taken reached about two hundred and thirty shares, or $20,300—more than two-thirds of the capital stock. It is quite probable that the number of shares taken in this vi cinity will amount to at least two hundred and fifty, and-the remainder can be readily disposed of along the route. The completion of the route is now placed beyond the possibility of a failure, and we can congratulate the citizens of Yuba, Nevada and Sierra counties, as well as those of Western Utah, upon the certainty that they will have, atan early day, a good road by a direct route connecting the castern and western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The energetic and liberal manner in which the undertaking has been inaugurated, while it reflects the highest credit upon the communities and individuals that originated it, is the best guarlive or die on its own merits; but they have earned the right to insist that those whe pretend to aid them shall do so indeed, and not Jeave them for their pains the privilege of sustaining a public enterprise out of their private means. If half the people who read the Press regularly would pay for it, instead of peruSing, and sometimes stealing, the copy subscribed for by their more liberal neighbor, it -~would be a profitable institution and its pubfishers would be able to make it more useful and attractive. In San Juan proper there is a White population of about one thousand, a majority adult males, the vote of the precinct amounting to upwards of four hundred; yet there are only one hundred of this number ~who are thoughtful enough, or liberal encugh, to subscribe to the local paper which records their history and promotes their interests. The town is growing rapidly, its growth does not swell our subscription list. There is an apparent injustice here, which is disheartening for more than one reason. We leave our friends to ponder over it without further comment. antee for its vigorous prosecution. A repetition of the arguments in faver of a road by the Henness Pass route is not necessary, but we may be permitted to remark that all heretofore advanced by us has been fully sustained by scientific authority. In the Marysville xpress, of Monday last, there was an able report of a survey made by D. B. Scott, Esq., the eminent engineer of the Marysville and San Francisco Railroad, over a good portion of the same route selected for the Truckee Turnpike, and he pronounces it “a more direct and better route by which to reach the Sacramento Valley from the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada than any other now traveled.” This report was first made, to be sure, in 1855, but there has been no subsequent change of circumstances to affect the value of this opinion. Mr. Scott’s estimates of the cost of buildinga road over the portions of the route where one will be built by the new company also agree with those heretofore presented in the Press, and which were based upon the observations and calculations of practical road makers. As our space will not permit further remark upon this interesting subject at present, we will close by stating that another meeting of the Truckee Turnpike Company will be held in this place on Saturday, November 26th, one week from to-day, at which time yet ° Sat Down anp Crizp.—At an early day in the history of Columbia Hill, Nevada county, three Germans began to sink a shaft ‘in a gravel bottom. The earth and gravel ~were cemented as hard as rock, and the pro cess of cutting down was slow,” painful and expensive. The laborers cultivated a garden around their cabin and made enough ‘from its easily raised products to support them in the prosecution of their enterprise. They constructed machinery and raised the dirt from their shaft by water power. Perseveringly they worked, and at last struck ware granite. There was no gold there to weward them! and as they looked into the] jt is proposed to effect a permanent organishaft and thought of their three years task, . zation. mow unprofitably ended, their hearts grew ~ sveak and they sat them down and cried—.

We do Western Uran.—We are indebted to} nut know whether this story was devised to Langton’s Express for a copy of last Saturday's Territorial Enterprise, which reached us on Wednesday morning. The Enterprise is now published at Carson City, a fact which indicates the rapid growth of that place quite unmistakably. Adventurers are still flocking to the new diggings, and the discovery of silver indications at numerous points distant from the Virginia mine is calé¢ulated to encourage them to a determined search. The late storm somewhat startled some of the new comers, and the sight of snow on the hills made transient visitors lhurry up preparations for a return to California, The mountain road will be kept epen, if possible, all winter. Col. E Musser was a prominent candidate for Congressional delegate at the election which came off on the 12th. It is proposed to change the name of Virginia town, the locality of the famous Comstock lead, to Wunn-muc-a, in honor to the chief of the Piutes. Why do they not give it the musical and appriate Spanish name of Argenta? > J Although Mr. Reed, our minister to China, refused to purchase by abject obeisance an interview with the Emperor, whois a son of the Sun and first cousin to the Moon, he effected the final ratification of a treaty whereby, if it is observed, American residents and merchants are placed on an equal footing with the Chinese, assured protection, admitted to numerous ports and allowed freedom to practice and teach whatever religious doctrines do not conflict with the public peace. “fool” the local paper, or not; but we do know that it was ¢old to us in all seriousness, and we tell the tale as we received it: There is just the ghost of a chance that it may be true. —-—_—__—----+@ Harp Woop.—A species of live oak which grows on the Ridge of the Middle and South Yubas, as weli as elsewhere in the mountains, affords excellent timber for wagon making and repairing, for the handles of tools and for various articles of furniture. It grows in the cafions, on the snowy slopes, is tall and straight, with a trunk much resembling that of the hickory tree, bears very long, narrow leaves, and the cup of its acorn is like a chestnut burr. Not much use has been made of it, because it is little known, bnt it is really a hard dense wood, and if well seasoned would prove quite as valuable as much of the timber we import. Our local mechanics would do well to procure a quantity of it on trial. Those who have used it recommend it highly. It is very plentiful at Grizzly Canon. Mkts ep as eetb sl ae be oe BGP The average yield of wheat to the acre in Placer county this year was upwards of thirty-two bushels. Barley elsewhere is commonly the best crop. A mining county like Placer may well be proud that the hilly soil will produce wheat equal to the soil of . the valleys. In this connection it will do to remark that Amador, another mining county, can boast of a corn field embracing 180 acres, which which will yield about 10,000 bushels of grain, according to the Ledger. the route, if possivle to make one. Owing . ing up again claims just becoming profitable. We have heard of several such instances.— Ewing & McDowell's tail-flume, on Swectland Creek, was too firmly anchored in a bed of gravel to be stirred, but the blocks lining it were swept out for a distance of four hundred feet, causing a loss of $600 or $1,000. On Shady Creek a reservoir which cost some $1,600, belonging to Mattison & Co. gave way, and will have to be rebuilt. The Middle Yuba Canal broke in two places, owing to the softening of its banks, causing a temporary loss of water. On San Juan Hill the high gravel banks have been caving almost constantly, in some Instances doing much damage. A cave in the oid Deadman claims destroyed $1,000 or $1,500 worth of iron pipe, and a slide in another set of diggings carried off a considerable portien of a tailsluice. As there have been no heavy winds, the high flumes have so far entirely escaped damage. there The sky continues cloudy, and are frequent falls of rain. Clear weather for a few weeks would now be very acceptable, and open a period of general prosperity. As the streams are high, the canals willall be fall; and those who are dependent upon ravines for water, can also have a plentiful supply. The Eureka Lake Ditch Company have anticipated their promise to reduce the price of water after January 1st, and are selling it now up the ridge at 163 cents pet inch. In consequence of this many miners along its course have resumed work. We anticipate being able to publish the most encouraging news of the diggings, as soon as the weather will permit a general ee of es eee . Toox orr His Cuinp.—Some two years ago aman named O'Neil, living in Yuba county near Freeman’s Crossing, separated from his wife, taking with him two children and leaving her a third, the youngest. The woman has since lived with another man, latterly, it is said, on quite familiar terms. Some time last week her husband made his appearance, picked up the remaining child and went off with it, the mother screaming and pursuing, and the child, a little thing, screaming wildly back. O'Neil effected his escape, however and has not been heard of by a party of men that subsequently wentin search of him. It is said his object is to take the child to the Atlantic States, and educate it together with the two —— he took at first. -_-— + @_ Punch says: ‘Rome, the spiritual domain of the Pope, is called by Papists the See of Peter.

Rich surface diggings have recently been discovered at Smith’s Ranch, about six miles from Forest Llill, says the Courier, und nearly every week are gold finds reported in other localities. The mineral resources of the State are barely prospected, and well may Greeley say that they will not be worked out in a thousand years. etd The Butte Record has reached its seventh volume. The first number was issued in an unfinished garret at Bidwell’s Bar, when that once famous mining town was the county seat of the immense territory now constituting Butte and Plumas counties and considerable portions of Tehama, Colusi and Sutter. It was once published as a daily, and is a successful institution. — = Goop Cuance AT Sweerianp.——S. F. Curtis, Esq., advertises for sale a portion of his interest in certain well known and productive diggings at Sweetland. Mr. Curtis goes to the Legislature this winter, to serve his constituents and be handsomely abused for it, and having more ground than he wishes to have worked during his absence would like to dispose of that mentioned in the advertisement. —_—————_+-9Brick Sivuices.—A miner in Shasta county is laying down a sluice, about a quarter of a mile lorg, with hard bricks. Granite blocks have been used in Nevada county fer the same purpose, but proved not to answer so well as wooden ones. They would not wear so evenly, and we think it will prove so with bricks. ATL LARA OAS as eT Some of the English papers insist that there should be another Arctic expedition to ascertain the fate of the remainder of Sir John Franklin's comrades—every one of whom, it is said, has a claim upon his country as great as he had. It is also proposed that government reimburse Lady Franklin for her outlay. es The example of the fat jolly-looking Ja~ panese, who eat no meat, ought to strengthen the resolution of the vegetarians amongst our own people. . Water-proor Gtoves.—Block & Furth, : merchants at this place and Nevada, observ. ing that the old style of water-proof gloves . for miners’ use invariably cracked and be. came worthless in a short time, ordered from i; Goodyear’s factory direct a lot made from . the same soft white rubber which forms the favorite water-proof coat. This order wasa . hint to the great inventor, and in due time . he forwarded a new style of glove, called the Acid Glove, from the process by which the rubber is prepared. We learn that it has become a favorite with the miners, and is found to last much longer thaa the old black gloves. . a S.iuice Rossery.—The . sluices of a Westover Mining Company, at Indian in, were robbed on the night of the 12th inst. of about $1,500. Six or eight boxes were . cleaned up at the head of the cut, where the best pay was expected, and the loss may . be even greater than napyeres, eee ae Judge Hagar has decided that consigned goods, while yet the property of the nonresident owner and remaining in the original packages, cannot be legally taxed, in accordance with the Constitution of the United States. +e Nearly every person who keeps bees ia Santa Cruz county, says the News, has lost more or less within the last two months in consequence of the attacks of wasps.

The publication of the Press has not made its proprietors ore dollar better off, financially, than they were when the first number was issued, nearly *gixteen months ago. They have persevered thecause they believed their enterprise was a public benefit and might prove, eventually, a benefit to themselves. They think so yet, andintend to complete another volume, at least. Meanwhile, they have a right to demand, onceand for all, that the community for whom they have labored should do some itthing for them. They have never boasted mor begged, and never will; the Press can prospects of the company have nevertheless become of the most cheering character.— Subscription books were opened in_ this . place om the 14th inst., just after an informal meeting ef the company, and in twentyfour hours thereafter the amount of stock taken reached about two hundred and thirty shares, or $20,300—more than two-thirds of the capital stock. It is quite probable that the number of shares taken in this vi cinity will amount to at least two hundred and fifty, and-the remainder can be readily disposed of along the route. The completion of the route is now placed beyond the possibility of a failure, and we can congratulate the citizens of Yuba, Nevada and Sierra counties, as well as those of Western Utah, upon the certainty that they will have, atan early day, a good road by a direct route connecting the castern and western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The energetic and liberal manner in which the undertaking has been inaugurated, while it reflects the highest credit upon the communities and individuals that originated it, is the best guarlive or die on its own merits; but they have earned the right to insist that those whe pretend to aid them shall do so indeed, and not Jeave them for their pains the privilege of sustaining a public enterprise out of their private means. If half the people who read the Press regularly would pay for it, instead of peruSing, and sometimes stealing, the copy subscribed for by their more liberal neighbor, it -~would be a profitable institution and its pubfishers would be able to make it more useful and attractive. In San Juan proper there is a White population of about one thousand, a majority adult males, the vote of the precinct amounting to upwards of four hundred; yet there are only one hundred of this number ~who are thoughtful enough, or liberal encugh, to subscribe to the local paper which records their history and promotes their interests. The town is growing rapidly, its growth does not swell our subscription list. There is an apparent injustice here, which is disheartening for more than one reason. We leave our friends to ponder over it without further comment. antee for its vigorous prosecution. A repetition of the arguments in faver of a road by the Henness Pass route is not necessary, but we may be permitted to remark that all heretofore advanced by us has been fully sustained by scientific authority. In the Marysville xpress, of Monday last, there was an able report of a survey made by D. B. Scott, Esq., the eminent engineer of the Marysville and San Francisco Railroad, over a good portion of the same route selected for the Truckee Turnpike, and he pronounces it “a more direct and better route by which to reach the Sacramento Valley from the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada than any other now traveled.” This report was first made, to be sure, in 1855, but there has been no subsequent change of circumstances to affect the value of this opinion. Mr. Scott’s estimates of the cost of buildinga road over the portions of the route where one will be built by the new company also agree with those heretofore presented in the Press, and which were based upon the observations and calculations of practical road makers. As our space will not permit further remark upon this interesting subject at present, we will close by stating that another meeting of the Truckee Turnpike Company will be held in this place on Saturday, November 26th, one week from to-day, at which time yet ° Sat Down anp Crizp.—At an early day in the history of Columbia Hill, Nevada county, three Germans began to sink a shaft ‘in a gravel bottom. The earth and gravel ~were cemented as hard as rock, and the pro cess of cutting down was slow,” painful and expensive. The laborers cultivated a garden around their cabin and made enough ‘from its easily raised products to support them in the prosecution of their enterprise. They constructed machinery and raised the dirt from their shaft by water power. Perseveringly they worked, and at last struck ware granite.

The Enterprise is now published at Carson City, a fact which indicates the rapid growth of that place quite unmistakably. Adventurers are still flocking to the new diggings, and the discovery of silver indications at numerous points distant from the Virginia mine is calé¢ulated to encourage them to a determined search. The late storm somewhat startled some of the new comers, and the sight of snow on the hills made transient visitors lhurry up preparations for a return to California, The mountain road will be kept epen, if possible, all winter. Col. E Musser was a prominent candidate for Congressional delegate at the election which came off on the 12th.

It grows in the cafions, on the snowy slopes, is tall and straight, with a trunk much resembling that of the hickory tree, bears very long, narrow leaves, and the cup of its acorn is like a chestnut burr. Not much use has been made of it, because it is little known, bnt it is really a hard dense wood, and if well seasoned would prove quite as valuable as much of the timber we import. Our local mechanics would do well to procure a quantity of it on trial. Those who have used it recommend it highly. It is very plentiful at Grizzly Canon. Mkts ep as eetb sl ae be oe BGP The average yield of wheat to the acre in Placer county this year was upwards of thirty-two bushels. Barley elsewhere is commonly the best crop. A mining county like Placer may well be proud that the hilly soil will produce wheat equal to the soil of . the valleys. In this connection it will do to remark that Amador, another mining county, can boast of a corn field embracing 180 acres, which which will yield about 10,000 bushels of grain, according to the Ledger. the route, if possivle to make one. Owing . ing up again claims just becoming profitable. We have heard of several such instances.— Ewing & McDowell's tail-flume, on Swectland Creek, was too firmly anchored in a bed of gravel to be stirred, but the blocks lining it were swept out for a distance of four hundred feet, causing a loss of $600 or $1,000. On Shady Creek a reservoir which cost some $1,600, belonging to Mattison & Co. gave way, and will have to be rebuilt. The Middle Yuba Canal broke in two places, owing to the softening of its banks, causing a temporary loss of water. On San Juan Hill the high gravel banks have been caving almost constantly, in some Instances doing much damage. A cave in the oid Deadman claims destroyed $1,000 or $1,500 worth of iron pipe, and a slide in another set of diggings carried off a considerable portien of a tailsluice. As there have been no heavy winds, the high flumes have so far entirely escaped damage. there The sky continues cloudy, and are frequent falls of rain. Clear weather for a few weeks would now be very acceptable, and open a period of general prosperity. As the streams are high, the canals willall be fall; and those who are dependent upon ravines for water, can also have a plentiful supply. The Eureka Lake Ditch Company have anticipated their promise to reduce the price of water after January 1st, and are selling it now up the ridge at 163 cents pet inch. In consequence of this many miners along its course have resumed work. We anticipate being able to publish the most encouraging news of the diggings, as soon as the weather will permit a general ee of es eee . Toox orr His Cuinp.—Some two years ago aman named O'Neil, living in Yuba county near Freeman’s Crossing, separated from his wife, taking with him two children and leaving her a third, the youngest. The woman has since lived with another man, latterly, it is said, on quite familiar terms. Some time last week her husband made his appearance, picked up the remaining child and went off with it, the mother screaming and pursuing, and the child, a little thing, screaming wildly back. O'Neil effected his escape, however and has not been heard of by a party of men that subsequently wentin search of him. It is said his object is to take the child to the Atlantic States, and educate it together with the two —— he took at first. -_-— + @_ Punch says: ‘Rome, the spiritual domain of the Pope, is called by Papists the See of Peter.

Rich surface diggings have recently been discovered at Smith’s Ranch, about six miles from Forest Llill, says the Courier, und nearly every week are gold finds reported in other localities. The mineral resources of the State are barely prospected, and well may Greeley say that they will not be worked out in a thousand years. etd The Butte Record has reached its seventh volume. The first number was issued in an unfinished garret at Bidwell’s Bar, when that once famous mining town was the county seat of the immense territory now constituting Butte and Plumas counties and considerable portions of Tehama, Colusi and Sutter.
