lions that will be retained in California, the
advantages of which will be seen in the i'm
provements of our country generally. Rail
roads will be constructed, Canals will be run,
Manufactures of every description will spring
up around us, in addition to which, thousands
and tens of thousands Of acres of land, both
in the valleys and the mountains, will be
made to yield their rich products of agrcul-
tural wealth. If the interests of a neighbor-
hood requires large Canal for the purposes
of irrigation, they will have it the capital
is in the country, and as they are permanent
ly located, they will not neglect an opportu-
nifty to benefit themselves, because 1T eoiH re-

MATURITY Hitherto, this has been a great
drawback to the Improvement of California; !;
it's acts against it even now, although the diff
fculty is rapidly being removed. The social
circle is what we want. We haze the Cdpi-
tai, but we lack the Ladies and when the
young men of California, like the children of
Benjamin, shall have secured for themselves
Wives, intelligent. virtuous and warm-heart-
ed wives, depend upon it, we shall hear less
complaint about home aud the absence of
dear nsetherS.
AS to the gold products of our country,
instead of their diminishing, they are actual
ly Increasing, proof Of which, is not so
much in the reports Of the banking list, as in
the fact Of the immense amount Of Capital
that is now retained and used in California
In fact, from what we have seen of the mines
in California, we believe that they, as yet,
have only received fair prospect" The
great discoveries are yet to be made, as past
experience would seem to show that by far
the richest leads of gold are to be efound deep
ly imbedded in the mountains, and in the
bowels of the earth and furthermore, past.
though limited experience shows that they
can be worked to immense profit. But hitherto
the impatience Of miners, as well as the want
of Capital, has prevented such leads from be-
ing either extensively worked or prospected.
And yet, we have every reason to believe
that they erist, and that too, to such an ex-
tent that it will require centuries for their de-
velopments. Another great source of our
country's prosperity we have briefly alluded
to in some of our former numbers. We con-
slider it equal, if not superior to all other
mining interests combined. We allude to
Quartz Mining. We had intended to speak
of this department of our mining operations,
at some length, but as we are running short
of space, we will omit it for another number.
Taking all this into calm and sensible con-
sideration. California must lie a rich, great
and glorious country. Wealth, we must have,
and that profusely no country, no land is
blessed with a lovelier climate than is that of
California; none has richer soil and we be-
lieve that it will readily be acknowledged
that no other country is so highly favored in
her mineral resources as is this which we now
claim as our adopted home. With all these
natural advantages, what may be expected of
her, consecrated as she is to freedom, and un-
der the guidance of American enterprise.
Talk not then, of the absence of kindred
and friends, we shall have them here. Speak
not of the social circle as a thing never to be
enjoyed among US, for we shall have it here /;
tell US not of the land of your nativity, and
infancy, at least with regret, as the same stars
and stripesu upon which you used to gaze when
boy, are still floating proudly over you,
and after all, though you may not have been
on this side the Rocky Mountains, if you stay
here, and marry here as you should, your
children will rejoice that they were born on
! Californian soil.
