The Gold Digssngs of California and Osegon.
ffrom the San Francisco Herald. July U.s.
Gold must, for some time ut least, DO tue main
stay Of California. Upon the yield of the mines we
must depend for means Of paying for our i'm ,orts,
building railroads and tetegrap hs, ansls and cities.
Gold s our great staple, and upon its product de.
Ponds our prosperity, as much as does that OF
Georga upon its cotton crop The idea has OBJ
tanned abroad that the yield of m'ues is dimi-
nshing because, forsooth, we do not ship quite as
MANI millions per annum as in former years. We
have heretofore shown the absurdity of such in
ftreEce, and d. demonstrated that the falling of in
the export OF gold is, in fact, an evidence OF our
prosperity. We have not 80 much to pay for our
supplies as formery-are not com Jeled to send our
dust to the East for coinage-and the surplus, in
consequence, remains In tie country, adding SO
much to tue disposable capital Of the State Daring
the present year the old pa have been not oaly
yielding well, but number of new mines have been
discovered, some Of them Of great value. Coief
among these arc the hill diggings at Iowa Hill,
Forest City, and vicinity. The extreme north.
plored. More attention is being directed 70 that
quarter DOW, and rich discoveries have been re-
Gently made there. The KEN River digsings, in
the south. were decla ed at one time failure, by
ports, finding the spot at which the gold was dis
covered not rich enough to pay them, catered
over the neighboripg country and prcspected the
thousand 9ulches running up. towards the Sierra
Nevada. 1t Is now said they have been successful,
and that large section OF country Will pay average
wages. Water companies are BUILDING canals in oil
parts Of the State. thus opening extensive gold
feds, which it las been imp ssible to work hitherto
for want Of sater. II may safely be asserted that
where one placer is worked out and abandoned, two
new gold fields are made available Our ncighbors
OF Oregon, too, have lately been finding gold az
numerous points. Ia the sont lern part Of the
Of miners have for some timo been profitably en-
gagged. Report says that diggings Of such extraOr
binary richness have been found near Port Oxford,
that nearly the whole town had gone to the spot;
NJ - iaorn NV M QHt firm rp
that n rich gold field has been discovered on tue
head waters Of the Yakima river, about three days
journey from Olympia; that other rich diggngs have
been opened near Sho.lwater Bay, others on the
Cathlepcode river, viii takes its rise at Mt. st.
Helens, and empties into the Columbia river,
snd stM Others In the vicinity Ct Mt st.
HelensS Great allowance should be made for exag
eeIation in all the reports Of ne mines discovered,
but there appears to be little doubt that gold has
recently been found in many parts Of Oregon. Ii Is
now settled that the whole Pacific slope, from Aca-
pnlco to Pugets Sound, Is aurl'erous. large por.
ton Of this country Is UNEMPLOYED, and analogy
would justify us in expecting tnat new mines will
be constantly opeIe "a as the tide Of population
spreads over the interior. Our Atlantic friends need
cot be alarmed on our account-ai the gold has not
becn taken out pet.
