FROM YREKA.-The Herald of the l0th-fur

more favorable account Of the state Of business

The SHASTA MISEs.-Our accounts from the
various mining districts of the county very
gratifying Water is abundant everywhere, and
miners are universally making fair wages. and in
numerous instances pretty fair "strikes." We
do not pretend to say that the Shasta mines are
equal to those recently represented to exist on
Kern River. The Courier never has represented
these mines to yield fortunes to all who may
work them, We have always simply spoken of
them as being equal to the very best placer dig
gings in any other portion of California-no
more-and in this we will be borne out by hun
dreds of miners from other mining counties
who have worked these mines in the winter and
spring seasons, when water was plenty. Per-
sons willing to make fair wages, with the
chances OF occasionally making strikes, cannot
do better than stop in the mines Of Shasta.
In the vicinity of Horsetown the claims are
Welding abundantly. Out of one claim five
men, one day this week, took % ozs. of gold
This is the largest days work that we have
heard of during the week.

E. A. RnwE-We have have had the pleas
ure during the week of grasping the hand of
this open-handed. whole-souled gentleman, who
has been on a short visit to his constituents.
We understand that the Weayervillans received
him with open arms. 1t is said that during his
stay several wholesale dealers in champagne, &c,
found their sales and profits to increase won-
derfully. 1t may be that knowledge Of what
erable to do with the heartiness Of his welcome.
Be that as it may it affords US pleasure to state
that the manner Of his reception was compli-
mentary in the highest degree.

KERN RIvER.-The Southern CalJorniam-not-
withstanding number of disappointed miners
threatened to tear that office down because of
the exaggerated statements relative to the mines
Of Kern River, published in that paper-still
continues to publish the most glowing accounts
from this new gold region. A number of gen.
tlemen who were carried off by the Kern River
excitement, have returned, and communicated
their experience to the San Francisco press
They were sadly disappointed. True, they found
gold on Kern River-api where in California
may it not be found but not in quantities rep
resented. We have but little doubt that the
mines of Kern River will pay fair wages to those
who understand mining and who are willing to
work hard, but OF their marvellous richness we
have our doubts. Especially do we doubt the
existence of the two million lump described in
a letter to the S. F. Chronicle

PARDoNED.-The Governor has pardoned John
Tabor, under sentence of death for the murder

stances under which the unfortunate act was
committed. Tabor, it will be recollected, was
editor of the Stockton Journal.

CoLp WEATHER.-The Eastern States have

such climate. How pleasantly does our bright

snow-clad hills of the Atlantic States.

THE THING NEEpED.-Mr. Murdock has sent
us bill introduced into the Assembly by Mr.
Clayton, to prohibit all foreigners who are inel.
gible to citizenship from working or occupying
the mines of this State. This is the very thing
for which the entire mining community Of the
State is now earnestly asking. The first section
makes it unlawful for any foreigner, not eligible
to citizenship, to take gold or other minerals
from the mineral lands in the State; or to own
or control mining claims. 1t also makes it un-
lawful for any citizen to employ any foreignes
not eligible to citizenship, to work in emines.
The act is not to go into effect until the first
day of October, 1S55-thus giving the Chinese
ample time to effect the necessary arrangements
for their exodus. We would not have their re.
moval accompanied by any unnecessary hard
ships, because it was our own mistaken policy
that first brought them here.

The Shasta Supervisor Bill.

The following letter, intended for insertion in
our last weeks paper, did not reach us until the
day Of publication:
SACRAMENTO CRY, March 7, 1855.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-The bill for an Act to
create Board of Supervisors for the county Of
Shasta. which was laid on the table the 2lst
ult., was one of the first introduced after the
opening of the session. 1t came 10 its second
reading, and was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee, which committee kept it in their hands
for some weeks, waiting. before they made their
report, for decision from the Supreme Court
relative 10 the consttntionality of Courts of Ses
sions having Jurisdiction over civil cases, and
with an idea that as soon as the question was
decided that Courts of Session had not that ju-
risdiction, general bill would be introduced,
suitable tor all the counties in the State where
such Boards did not exist.
There being decision made, and delay in the
introduction Of general BILL desired the COM
mittee to report on the special bill. They done
so, but the amendments, as | considered, not
being applicable to our county. moved to lay the
bill on the table, which was done. Last Friday,
it being the day for taking up the unfinished
business OF the previous week. and being ab-
sent on official duties. the bill was taken from
the table and received its third reading and
has now gone To the Senate, where | hope it
will be defeated. for have much faith to be-
lieve that the citizens of our county have
good right to know what their wants are
(even it they ask for special legislation.) as
have persons living in the extreme southern
portion of The State. A general bill has passed
The Honse. and gone to the Senate, and our
county has been cared for in it, aud presume ii
will become a law at an early day, so TO
lieve the-many wants which have been so long
neglected in Shasta county.
Yours, &c., NORTH.
