saying you never will pay for the printing of tho
programmes if you know yourself. This was to
be expected from rascally strollng mountebank

owed this Office, but to warn the printers Of tha
State against rascal perambulating it who woulJ
contract printing debt and not pay for it, Yon
say the programmes had seven errors in them
such is not the fact, there is copy of the bill

REPUBLICANs NoTING AGAINST TIE AD-
MISSION OF FREE SrArE-A bill for the
admission of the State of Minnesota passed
the House by a vote of 95 to 10. An anal
ysis of the vote shows the singular fact that
27 republicans voted against the bill, and it
was only saved by the votes of 2 southern
democrats. The opposition of the northern
republicans was grounded upon the fact that
the bill granted the usual temporary rights
to unnaturalized foreign inhabitants. Repub-
licanism, after all, is but cloak for Know
Nothingism,-the two parties are the same
in all but name; and the naturalized voter
who sustans the republican cause is aiding
to disfranchise himself and his fellows who
seek our shores.

ARrEsIAN WELL.-The we'll has reached
the depth Of 700 feet. A volume of water
pours over the top of the pipe equal to thirty
gallons a minute. Many Of the best wells in
San Jose, as we can testify from observation
do not throw so large quantity of water.
There is now no doubt that Artesian water
can be obtained in this county in any guam
tity but it is not probable that it will become
generally practicable, owing to the great
depth at which it must be reached

Auburn and Bear River Canal.

The improvements that have been in pro-
Sress on this work for some time past were
completed on last Saturday, and the water
was turned in on the following day. This
news has been received with great satisfac-
ton by all the miners in the vicinity of Au-
burn, and through the extensive mining dis
tricts of Ophir, Secret, Miners, and Tayor's
Ravines, Crows Flat, Franklin House, and all
the other localities in the southwestern part
Of the county supplied from this source.
The repairs and improvements on the
canal have occupied several months, and we
understand are of such a character, as will
prevent the shutting off of water for any
length of time in the future.
1t is in the absence of the water supplied
by this work that our miners feel how de-
pendent they are upon the company. The
business man also feels the pressure, and
it is just at such a ti&e when every one is
feeling the effects Of a stagnation in trade,
that we can realize the great benefit that
ditch companies have been in the develop
ment Of the mineral resources of the State.
The vast tracts of mineral lands, through
which there are no running streams would
be almost valueless without these artificial
water-courses. The supply of natural water
in large quantities being of short duration,
the long, dry summer months would be pas.
sel in comparative inactivity by our mining
population who are not located on the creeks
and rivers, had not the spirit of enterprise
and the assurance of good monied invest
ment prompted the construction of the great
lines of bitches that now thread all the hills
and valleys of the mineral region Of tue
State
The advantage they have been to their stock
holders, and the benefits that have accrued
to the miner, trader and all classes of bus-
ness men, is evidenced in the undertakings
of the same kind that are still being project
ed and carried forward with so much energy
and determination. a few years at most,
and the remotest surface diggings will be
worked by their aid. And ground that will
not now pay, when there is decrease in the
price of labor and water will be found amply
renunerative.
