individual Liability as Regard
CHnshnro

.Messrs Editors There has beer 4
great deal of noise made recently in re-
gard to Sec. SO, Art. ", of our Constts5-
ton which says that "Each Stock -hot3c,-
Of Corporation or joint association
shall be individually liable for has propor-
tion of all its debts and liabilities" lean
slider the alarm altogether uncalled fpE,
and got up by some to prejudice me
minds of the people against the constisu-
ton, an instrument which may have ils
defects, but among these defects this pro
vision should not be numbered. The case
is simply this: A number of men orm
themselves into a corporation for any
specified purpose, each man subscribing a
certain proportion of the capital stock
which we will suppose to be SlOO,O0O.
Through its agents, the directors, this
company goes on and expends the capital
stock AMI contracts debts to the amount
of ST. 900 over and above the $780, 600
at first subscribed. ...
Now according to the views held by
some, the members of this company are
liable only for the amount subscribed by
them, and it would be perfectly right
that the community should be swIndeed
out of $1O0,OOO or more without amy
redress.
If the capitalist make a good invest
ment it is all well, but if he happens to
miss, or miscalculate then the contractor
or laborer or trader must suffer. Out
upon such doctrine The constitution
is right as it is. But the "Union" says
'sit cannot determine what a mans pro-
portion is" of the liabilities of a conipary.
We are sorry for the Unaon Any school
boy twelve years old would say that any
one owning a fifth or tenth portion of
the stock would he liable for a fifth or a
tenth part of the liabilities s4il..
This personal liability is perfectly un-
derstood here among the miners, and 1t
does not prevent them from forming Joint
associations for mining purposes. Ii Is a
principle carried out not exactly because
it is in the constitution but because IL is
right. 1t has not hindered miners in aay
portion Of the State from .nvesting in
water companies and why it should
operate injuriousIy in other respects |
cannot see. But perhaps our capitalists
are peculiar set of men and require
peculiar enactments to protect their in
terests. California has heretofore been
the Paradise of the laborug man hut #
such reforms as these are to be the order
of the day it will not remain SO much
longer.

Still they find it.

About twelve months since a party OF
three discovered on the slope of the noun
tain, opposite Oregon Bar, about two
miles from this place, what they regarded
as extensive rich diggngs. SO sanguine
were they that they sunk shaft near 70
feet--prospecting every alternate foot as
they excavated, which yielded from four
to twenty cents to the pan. Owing to its
locality it was regarded as impraclicable
to work, being on an elevation at least
500 feet above the bed of the river They,
therefore, regarded it as policy to remain
in statu quo, waiting the introduction Of
the waters of Bear River by the Bear
River and Auburn Water and Mining
Company's canal. Since the introduction
of water into the mines of Auburn, the
practical miner has been on the alert
prospecting when it was regarded as fea-
sible to extend the canal and introduce
the water. For the past two weeks there
has been much excitement IN consequence
of recent developments made by prospect
ing the entire slope of the mountain di-
vide between Rich Flat and the American
River. At this juncture the parties who
had sunk the shaft some twelve months
since made their appearance and claimed,
and properly so, to he the discoverers -

ed consisting of some fifteen who are noa
engaged in digging ditch for the intro
duction of water. 1t is taken out of ME

extends one and half miles on the slope
of the mountain, when it enters the Gig-
gings. The ditch has declivity of eight
feet to the mile, and will give an abun-
dant supply OF water. The company is
composed of practical miners, and beng
acquainted with some of them feel lns-
titled in hazarding an opinion that thev
will reap a rich harvest. The present
indications are that it Will require years
to work out this favored spot, so located
that the tailngs from their toms and
sluices are carried down the mountain so
that they cannot interfere with mlniiig
operations.
The introduction Of water on the slo pc
of the Divide leading to the North Fork
of the American must tend to the discoR-
cry of immense and extensive diggngs.
In 1850 had one have prophesied tEat
the waters of Bear River would have
been brought forty miles through this
mountainous country, by canals, fumes,
and tunnels, at a cost of $780,
900 and discharged into the American
River, that one would have been regarded
as fool or crazy. But the problem H.
will run down hill. by
some, the section about Auburn is consd-
cred as nearly worked out, while by 9TH
ers whose opinions are entitled to consid-
Grafton, this section is regarded as merely
pros pected in view Of what will be dis
covered. This California is a great coun-
try and enterprise here as elsewhere will
find its reward. lS49.
