AS regards business here, it must
pass through great change in the course
of the next few months. Those who are
here established in business, who have the
means to buy, as most of them have, will do
we'll, but those who come out from the
States will labor under many edisadvanta-
ges. Rents will be enormous, and the cx
pense of storing, interest, &c. &C., will not
pay for giving up good business at home.
This is the idea have from all can learn,
but it is difficult thing to form an opinion
concerning the future IN such a case MS this.
The more intelligent portion of those have
heard say anything on the subject, do not
seem to have very elated idea of the events
of the next six months
This will be the last season of the gold
mines, it will always be found there, but
the expenses will equal the receipts. 1t is
the opinion ofthe best informed that, this
year. the diggers will not average over ten
dollars day. A man cannot live there for
less than two or three dollars. This leaves
but eightsdolars per day, and there is only
six months of the year which Gun be called
the digging season.
This gold has been curse TO the
country. Everything has been neglected. If
it had never been found Americans would
have made beautiful country ofCaliforDia,
but the price of land has risen so here, that
internal improvements are out ofthe ques-
ton at present. >. The rise of real
estate has enriched q few COR time; but
was there euer a sudden rise liz price ofland
that did not ruin hundreds in the end!-
