While at Grass Valley, a few days
since, | visited the quartz mill at Mas
sachusetts Hill, erected by DR.. James
Delavan, for the Rocky Bar Mining
Company. This mill is built after the
Chilian plan, and works we'll. The en-.
CINE is thirty FIVE horse power, and the
machinery throughout seems to be Of
great efficiency, and it has been erected
at great expense, Some portion of the
machinery was brought from New York,
and was SO imperfect that the altera-
tions and repairs cost more than the
original price. Other portions were
purchased here, at different times and
places, and through the energy and ex.
ertions of DR.. Delavan, the different
parts have finally been put in complete
order and the mill been started unde er
the most favorable auspices. But few
men would have succeeded in erecting
mill under so many unfavorable cir
cums'ances as have attended the erec-
ton of this one, and the Rocky Bar
Mining Company may consider them-
selves fortunate in their selection of a
superintendent who has prosecuted 80
difficult an undertaking to completion
and for securing large body of as rich
quartz claims, probably, as any in Cali
fornia. Many specimens from the Mas.
sachusetts Hill are extremely rich, and
the whole Of the quartz seems to be
highly impregnated with gold. The
holders of stock in the company must
eventually receive large dividends from
their works at Massac chusetts Hill. |

ANOTHER WATER PRoJEcT.-.We
learn from Judge Emory, that compa.
ny has been formed for the purpose Of
turning a stream of water into the
plains on this side Of the Stanislaus. A
suitable place for the debouch has been
selected, above Knights Ferry, and q
party is already engaged in surveying
route for canal. We hope this fact
will not deter the people of San Joaquin
county from carrying out their views.
The irrigation of lands in this country
is destined to open vast resources for
the employment of labor and capital
1t is impossible, as yet, to realize tho
results. Schemes, we hear, for the u.

pIoyment, as by the capitalist who
risks his fortune in the operatiOn.-
These mines never can he properly
improved while the title thereto is la
ble to forfeiture from any trivial cir
cumstance, and We can see no good
reason why a permanent fee simple
title should not be given, as well as
for any other kind Of real estate. Per-
manent property, permanent improve
ments, and permanent citizens are all
indispensable to a permanent estab-
lishment Of our institutions. Those
who first commenced operations in the
placer mines, made no calculation of
remaining here but short time, and
during that time they did not wish to
be confined to narrow limits, but wan-
ted to be at liberty to shift themselves
wherever temporary inducement
might make it desirable. They had
no capital invested. Their pick, pan
and shovel were their only incum-
brance, and they wanted perfect lib,
erty to remove them whenever and
wherever they pleased. But how diff
terent with the operator in quartz.
He has selected his location-erected
extensive buildings--procured cestly
machinery, which cannot be removed
without great loss and inconyenienc ce.
Why should he not have permanent
title thereto transmissible as an inher-
itance to his children, and transferable
at will? Every principle of good
policy demands it.

AFFRAY AT AUBURN.--On Monday las
a difficulty occurred in the Ell Dorado
Saloon, at Auburn, in which two per-
sons were mortally wounded.
1t appears that MIR. John Golding and
Samuel Tate got into quarrel over a
gaming table. Golding drew pistol
and fred at Tate, the ball passing
through his coat; whereupon, Tate drew
knife and stabbed his assailant in the
neck, near the left shoulder-inficting
wound supposed to be mortal. Before
falling, Goldins fred second time at
Tate, tho ball passing through the hat
of the latter, through the side of the
house, and lodged in tho breast of man
by the name of j. w. Smith, who was
converting ct the tine with friend
At last accounts, MIR. Smith was alive,
but no hopes were entertained Of his
recovery. The ball lodged in his left
lung, and could not be extracted.

STATE PRINTING. The committee on
this subject have reported in favor Of
giving the printing for the present to
Eug gene Casserly, recently declared
State Printer by the Supreme Court,
until some law shall ba passed regulat-
ing the subject, or until another State
Printer shall be elected. MIR. Roach
Of Monterey, has introduced n bill abol-
ishing the Office of State Printer, and
farming out the job for two years to the
lowest bidder. We do not approve of
the bill, because there 10 fixed value
for printing of all kinds, and the State
should pay for its work the same us cri-
vate individuals, taking into consid era
tion the amount of work and the cur
rency paid for it. The friends of re.
trenchment can curtail in the amount
of printing if they please, but it is small
work for Legislators to cut down the
price of labor, or to adopt laws which
will lead to such result. The fairest
and the most satisfactory plan would be
for tho committee on printing to decide
upon the price to be allowed, and the
style Of execution, specifying the size
of page, kind Of type, &c. SC. Then
let each publisher throughout the State
who wishes to undertake the lob, give
bonds for the publication of each Act
that may be handed to him, in pamph-
let form of the prescribed size and style,
and within prescribed time after re-
ceiving the same. Let him also bind
himself to one insertion in his ne ewspa- :
per within a prescribed time. The
various laws to be published should then
be given successively to the bidders.
The effect of this would be to equalixe
public patronage, which would be right;
and to prevent corruption among the
members, and the bartering Of votes on
other questions to secure votes for q
favorite printer. Still another advan-
tage to the State, would be this: no
printer in the State is able to undertake
the entire job, and receive scrip in pay,
without charging as much more as the
scrip is below par. The outlay he would
have to make would be too great. But
let that outlay be divided among seve-
raj, and they would be able to wait some
time tor the maturity Of the scrip, which
would bring it nearly to its par value -

stitution was brought before the As

Mr.. Peachy presented minority re-
port, agreeing with the majority in all
essential points. Messrs. Ellis of Ne
