winter, rain or shine. The bugbear which
once obtained, that the mines would soon
give out, has now become exploded. Every
intelligent miner knows that the real and

auriferous deposits, the existence of which is

Persons unacquainted with mining, except

along the river beds. and in the neighboring
gulches, can form but a faint conception of
the immense undertakings and outlay of cap
Ital' ''how in progress. in what is technically
termed dead acork-that is, running tunnels,
sinking shafts, &c, in order to reach the au-
rlterous deposits which lie "deep in' the al
most ''unfathomless depths" of our mountain
sides. There are hundreds, and perhaps
we might say thousands of tunnels. which

md labor enough has thus been invested by

points where the richest of those diggings are

Now the miner asks the capitalist to come
to his aid and bring along the water where

construct the railroads and bridges over
which may be transported his provisions and
tools to his mountain home. He offers, in
return, to divide the proceeds of his labor
with his friend the capitalist. He presents
the most indubitable evidence of the feasibil-
ty and profit of the enterprise. and pledges
The pre-investment of his own labor and linn
ted capital in evidence of his sincerity and
belief in the profit Of the undertaking.
We are full of faith in this matter. and
would most earnestly advise capitalists to
look carefully into it. and see and Judge for
themselves. A wide field for investment is
here opened, which if it were properly i'm
proved, would give new and healthy i'm
petus to the growth and prosperity of our
State.
Much has been said about encouraging i'm
migration to California, and many schemes
have been considered to that end. Our
friends below may rely upon it that there is
only one plan which can succeed, and that
IS shadowed forth in what we have already
written. We have more miners in the State
1ow than we have water wherewith to set
hem at work. Give us water, friends, and
We will not only pay you good price for it,
out we will turn half the present population
1f California into an "Emigrant Aid Socie-
~" every member of which will take an ac-
i've interest in bringing out the frinds he has
eft behind in the older States; for they can
lhen find something for them to do.
