Wagon Road to Red Bluffs.

We are informed that the parties engaged
IN the construction Of wagon road from Red
Bluffs via the South Fork Of Trinity river.
have completed the road from the Bluff to
within eight miles Of the South Fork. and il
is expected that they will succeed in fnisbino
it to the South Fork by the last Of next week
We are also informed that the road is mos,
excellent one, there being no portion Of the
route over which four mules cannot draw
three thousand pounds Of freight. We also
learn that party Of twenty i've men will, on
Monday next, commence work on the road
between WeaVeryille and the South Fork. Ia
distance Of about seventeen mles.) and thew
confidently expect to have it completed in the
course Of six weeks.
1hs is one ofthe most important measures
Of public interest ever undertaken in this
county, and the gentlemen engaged in it de-
serve much credi: and the warmest thanks
Of the community, for the energy and public
spirit displayed by them, in taking upon
themselves 80 important and laborious a task
as this, which will be Of incalculable benefit
to the whole county.
The difficulty Of communication with The
Sacramento Valley, has hitherto been the
greatest draw back upon the prosperity Of
TINS portion of the State. The high noun
iains which have prevented the transportation
OF merchandise in any other manner than the
very expensive one Of packing, have been O
"A terrible bugbear in the eyes Of the commu-
nifty, and consequently this, the best mining
county in California, has been retarded in its
progress and development on account &C the
ignorance or indifference of those most inter-
ested in its advancement.
Numerous attempts have been made du-
ring the last three years, to excite sufficient
interest, not only in this place, but also in
Shasta, in the matter Of a wagon road be-
tween the two places, to insure its construc.
ton, but, unfortunately for both places, the
majority Of persons had too little permanent
interest in the welfare Of either place, to make
even temporary sacrifice OF money or Of
time, for so important q cause.
The time, however, has at length come,
when the much talked Of, and long prayed
for, consummation Of our hopes, is about to
be accomplished, and we will, ere long, see
loaded wagons and stages rolling into our
streets, and the cry Of the packer, and the
tinkle Of the mulo bell, will be among the
sounds that were.

Messrs. Harris, Mcclure q Co. having
completed their Mill, situated on Weaver
Creek, about three miles below the town, in
vited large number of their friends to be
present at the "christening' on Saturday
last.
In accordance with the invitation, a large
party was assembled on the occasion, and re.
galed, in the most sumptuous manner, by the
propretors of the establishment After wit
Messing the excellent manner in which all
parts of the machinery worked, and seeing
the wheat transformed into beautifully white
and fine flour, the company sat down TO an
excellent dinner, provided with all the luxu.
ries that are procurabo in this mountain re
gion 1t is unnecessary to say that full JUS
tice was done to the entertainment. MANY
a health was toasted in sparkling champagne
aud many a kind wish expressed, that the
worthy hosts might meet with every success
in their new enterprise. They certainly de-
serve il.
This is the first flour mill erected in Trni-
ty county, although we believe that there are
some two or three in process of erection in
different parts Of the county, but none Of
them have as yet been completed. We ex-
tbut in, fTpt n

DAIGH's GRAND RAFFLE.--We would call
attention TO the card of Mr. Daigh an
nouncng the postponement of the drawing

The extract from the act prohibiting Raf
fes, shows most clearly that that the enter
prise of MIR. Dagh is strictly legal, aud that
the law sanctions the drawing of it at any
time or in any manner that the proprietor
may deem tit.
This doubt in regard to the legality Of the
scheme, is the only cause that has prevented
the sale of tho entire number of tickets be-
fore this time. We are confident, now that
this doubt is disPelled, that the public will
be eager to secure chances in this, the best
Rattle ever offered COR the patronage of the
people of Northern California. The prizes
are fully worth the value affixed to them.
