MINERAL RESOURCES OF MARIposA 20.
We learn bv the report of the census
ooents of MarDosa, that there are at this
time but six quartz mills In successful
operation in this county, all of which are
paving daily a very liberal per centage on
The Investments made. Several other
quartz mills of large and extensive con-
struction are now in process of being
erected upon veins that have been pros
nected and are known 10 be rich. There
are about sixty machines (knoWn as
Towney's) grinding quartz rock IN this
county that are paying from 10 10 70 DOL
lars per day each.
The whole number of quartz veins that
have been prospected and legally located
in this county is five hundred and twenty
two, which comprehends but a very small
portion of the nunber Of rich and desira-
bic veins that are known to exist.
The aren't states that there are known
TO exist in the beds of the Merced and San
JOAQUIN rivers, and other streams, I'M

he obtained by heavy expenditure of
capital and labor, and putting in general
use fumes, which have as yet been but
Iittle used in there.
Should it ever be found practicable to
take the surplus waters from the San
Joaquin and Alerced rivers, by means of
canals and races, and distribute them
through the sections OF the country, which
are necessarily abandoned during the dry
season for the want of water, 1t would
give a new impulse to our mining interest
and consequently develope the resources
as well as give good character to our place
and diggins.
The extent of the gold region in Mari
posa county is about 100 miles in length,
Icommencing with the foot hills and ex-
tending back towards the Sierra Nevada.

Hon. J0lsss Es. Weller.

We notice by our late exchanges, that
the old friends and associates of the Hon
orable Senator have given him warm
reception at his old home in Butler county,
Ohio. 1t must have been truly crafty
ing to his feelings to witness the thous-
ands that assembled to greet him, and
welcome him to his former home in the
old Buckeye State. Mr.. ". spoke ofthe
charges that had been made against him,
and refuted them by an inpartia state
ment of the facts, which were fully know n
to those who have been his friends and
associates from early youth to years OF
manhood. The ISLANDERS that have been
retailed against him meet with no favor
from the people of his native county
they believe that he has through life en-
deavored, with honesty of purpose faith
fully to discharge every duty committed
to his charge. The people Of California
may well be proud of their distinguished
Senator.

For the past two or three days there
has been comparative cessation in ship
ments of goods to Sacramento. 1t ap-
pears that the spectators who commenc-
ed rushing goods to that market immedi-
ate'y after the late fire did not make as
fine operations as anticipated and hence
the falling off in frcights. I 1hesnear ap-
proach Of the rainy season lenders it the
height of folly to send goods to the interior,
except 10y those who have provided for
storing them from the weather.- Trans

Bear River Canal Company's Stock. =
has risen in par value at the Bay, from
$500 to S 900 per share. In connection
we might add that this company are push

gather their income must be nearly 81 ,OOC
per day, and in short time must be near
~ doubled We think it one of the besl
investments in california.

Another facf relative TO the pauper labor. in
European manufactures is Important. We
were informed few days since by very
intelligent man connected with one of the
Lowell factories, that an agent from that
place is now in England and Scotland, and
he writes home that the operatives there are
PAID about the same as those employed in
tne Lowell Mills, in proportion to tie time
'hey work. They do not receive quite so
much in amount, but they work only ten
hours per day, whereas the Lowell operatives
WORK thirteen or fourteen hours. The Eng
l'sh employers also furnish their operatives
with lenements and fuel at less than one
fourth what is paid al Lowell for the same
thing. So it appears after all, upon the ies.
llm"ny Of an agent of the Lowell manufac-
lurers themselves, that the talk Of pauper
labor, so far as operatives in Great Britain
are concerned, is all moonshine. Col.
Schouler, editor Of the Atlas, in his letters
from Great Britain, stated, that there was
great deal of poetry in The talk about
"pauper labor" in the manufactures Of that
country. In this respect, therefore, our
manufacturers need no protection
