ForbestoWn Buil ding Company.

We are pleased to Learn that this com
pany are progressing with th,i project,
and have already procured the ground
whereon to ersct their edfce. We
have not been furnished with the dimen-
sions of The proposed block, but presume
from the manner in which our Forbes
town friends take hold of other matters,
that it will equal, if no. excel, anything
of the kind in the mountain towns Of
California. The enterprise of our
Forbestown neighbors, in building up
their fourishing mining town, is worthy
the considerai4n and emulation Of the
Bidwcliites.
Forbestown viii present a busy scene
this winter, and when the South Feather
Water Company shall extend their ditch
from Orc Lcva Creek to the South
Fork Feather River, the dry seasons
will no longer interrupt her miners Or
her business prosperity. Tbs company
have their ditch In such state, that
they viii be ensbled to supply Forbes
town and vicinity with water from Orc
Lewa Creek, as soon as the wet season
shall set in, and are now making prepa>
tions to extend to the South Fork, from
whence never-failing supply can be
had. This viii, we understand, be ac-
eomplished BY another spring, thus open
ing diggings, which even the vet sea-
sons have fail,d d to more than prospect
This ditch will carry water on to the
ridge between the Feather ard Yuba
Rivers, and are thus enabled TO furnish
water at any point between the two riv-
ers below Forbestown. We regard this
as among the safest and best enterprises
of the day, and although it may not be
Us extensive as some other canals, vet
no ditch in California carries water TO a
richer or more extensive mining region.

desired, the Courts heart softened to-

was continued until two O'Clock. The
