THE GOLD REGION.
MORE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
FROM CALIFORNIA.
From the Washington Union OF Dec. %, !

We are indebted to Gen. Jesup tfor the
following very interesting letter, re ceived at
the Quartermasler Generals Department.
1t throws new light upon the Developments
of gold in California:
QuARTERMAsRER's OFFICE,
SAN Francisco, CAL. Sept. lS, 1913.
SIR: In compliance with an intlmation
in my monthly report of June 30, proceed
to give you hasty account of California,
as It is seen under the influence of the gold
excitement no" prevailing throughout the
country.
In the latter part of February, 1913,
mechanic named Jas. w. Marshall, was en-
gagged in building Il saw mill for John A.
Suffer, Esq, on the south branch of river
known in California as the American Fork,
some fifty miles from New Heyetia, or SUIT
ters Fort On Fremont's map this river is
called Rim de los Americ0nOS. 1t is the
stream by which Capt. Fremont descended
into the valley of the Sacramento River, by
perllous march, in the Winter and Spring
of lS43 While employed in cutting mill
race or canal for this improvement, Mr..
Marshall discovered the pieces of gold as
they glstened, in the sunlight at the bot
size were taken from the water and in a
few days gold to the amount of $3.50 was
removed in this manner. The laborers on
the work, mostly mormons, soon became
satisfied OF its precious nature, aud the
news spread rapidly about the country
Examinations were prosecuted at other
points along the stream, aud almost every
where with success. Reports of IL most
marvellous nature soon reached the coast,
touching these mines. Their apparent ex.
trayagance created incredulty, and the pub.
lie attention was not fully called to the sub
ject until gold dust or grain gold was bro't
into the market in considerable quantities
for sale. Doubt soon became belief and
change almost magical in its nature, per
yaded the whole populations Lawyers, doc
tors, clergymen, farmers, mechanics, mer
chants, sailors and soldiers left their leglti
mate occupations, to embark in a business
where fortunes were to be made in few
weeks. Villages aud districts where all hat
been hustle, Industry and improvement
were soon left without male population.
Mechanics, merchants and magistrates, wer
alike off to the mines, and all kinds of use
full occupation, except gold digging, wer
apparently at an end. In most cases tn
crops were remarkably good but they ar
generally lost for want Of laborers to secur
them. In some parts of the country hund
reds of acres of line wheat will rot in tn
fields, from the impossibility of getting han
vesters. Vessels are left swinging idly a
their anchors, while both captains and thei
crews are at the mines; and the most esser
tial private and public improvements are al
rested in their progress. The wages {

is very unreasonable to disquiet ourselves "a
bout distant evils, it often happening that
the presence Of the things themselves sug-
gests better expedients-wiser and quicker
counsels to us, than all our wisdom and
fore,hought at distance can do "The
morrow" says our Lord, " shall take thought
for things of ITSELF" that is, it shall bring
with it power and strength of mind an
swerable to its necessities-a frame OF spirit
every way suited to our circumstances and
occasions. -AfterbUry

THE BIeGEsr GOLD STORY YET. We
understand that gentleman arrived at New
York few days since, from California, col
lected all of his relations in that vicinity,
and Immediately started on his return to the
Gold region, He had made great dis
covery," but what it was, no one could tell.
But just as he and his relations were about
to start, one ofthe latter told friend con-
fidentially,' that this gentleman had discover
ed mountain in California, half mile in
length, all of solid gold. That's enough.

The VALUE OF TEARS IN THE PRoGNosIs
OF THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN. Trousseau
alfirms that when a child cries, its disease
is not grave; that when it does not cry its
disease is very grave This he thinks may
be regarded as an aphorism. If the child
cries, it will recover; if it does not cry, it
is very seriously i'll. Although there are
exceptions to this rule, still they are so rare
that the physician should hold it in very sa-
cred esteem.

We notice an act recently passed, incor-
porating The Jefferson County Steel and
File Manufacturing Company We believe,
Notwithstanding the sncers that Virgins
is behind the age" this is the FIRST Company
in the whc,e Union, who have undertaken or
are about to undertake this branch of manu-
facture. This Factory is to be located On
the Shenandoah River, or at Harpers- Ferry.
We also understand that Mr.. Rothery. at
whose instance the Company was chartered,
is most ski!ful and experienced workman.
(Sgritof Js6rrsot.
We join in the expression Of pleasure at
the progress Of the manufacturing spirit in
this County, and wish ample success to all
concerned. AStecl Factory was commenced
at Richm6nd some years since, and though
unfortunate, Is about to be revived.
