Herald publishes statement of the amount, and
by whom drawn. Of funds appropriated by the
General Government for the expedition on the
Yreka Emigrant Trail in 1852. Up to the 9TH Of
April, 1855, some forty Of the "Siskiyou volun.
teer Rangers" had received $14,987.
We are fully persuaded that the citizens OF
this county-and particularly those of the Pit,
River and Cow Greek country-have spentmore
time and money in fighting Indians than any
other men in the State, and yet they never have
been paid single cent for their services The
men Of Siskiyou deserved the money they re-
ceived, for they were performing that service
which it was the bounden duty of the Govern
ment to perform. But surely tie same may be
said of the men of Shasta. We have the same
right to the protection Of the Government from
the savages. Aud if we were compelled, by
the neglect OF the Government, to take up arms
and protect our lives and property, we are enti-
tied to remuneration, equally with the citizens
of any other portion of the State.

week, and found it work of much more mag

portion OF the water of Clear Greek, from point
about one mile above Horsetown, along the side
of the hill above that place and Briggsville. and
on to the Lower Texas Springs diggings When
completed it will be upwards of four miles in
length. and judging from the character hereto
tofore borne by the disgings through which it
passes, will be an admirably paying work. We
understand that the proprieiors, Messrs Duffy
g. Rue, would, but for the late rains, have al
ready been letting out water on portion OF the
line. This work will, doubtless, prove of i'm
mense benefit to that part of the county. We

of our rich county made available to the miner,
by means of similar enterprises.
