Z. ahe recent arrival Of The Crescent City at
New York, with over hatf a mllioH of dollars,
has furnished the public with abundance Of in
formation in rcgarl tothc gold regions.
The accounts Of the richness Of the mines are
all confirmed. There Is no room for doubt that
gold exists there in almost unlimited abundance.
There Is no doubt that esery man, engaging in
mining eau get out an ounce per day. Many
get out much more than this, and some with an
excess Of good fortune find large pieces weigh
ing from one to eighiy-two ounces. 7
The business aspects Of the country arc Pc
culmr All products that are the result Of labor
in this States, or other countries, are colnpara-
lively cheap, and The market already shows signs
I Of qlut. Before Tho summer is over, ready
made clothing, cloths OF all kinds, provisions and
Ia fact every thing shipped from our own or for
cign ports, win hardly bring more than the In
voiced prices. AZ would be natural, I'll pro
ducts Of labor on the spot are excessively high,
the price OF labor being graduated by the re-
wards attendant upon gold digging. Specula-
ton Is rife. The Rev. Mr. Hunt, missionary,
states that some choice lots in San Francisco
that were bought originally for $780, have
since sold for ete0,eo9s The speculation in
building lots bids fair 10 be Wild and Reckless
In fact Il is already so, Ltnnbcr now brings
$4,000 per thousand feet, Washerwomen earn
Si0O per month, Carpenters arc getting Sff,0o
per day, aud before the summer is over viii
prohshiy command 500 and sa5 per day. All
