County Finances.

Sheriff May on Monday last paid into The Coun-
ty Treasury, State and County taxes amounting
to eleven thousand one hundred and nineteen dol
lars and ninety three cents.
When we take into consideration the loud com
plants which are constantly being made by the
agric ultural counties, that we of the north con-
tribute comparatively little towards the support
of Government, we think this is doing pretty well
for monthly settlement, with population of
less than three thousand.
Our collector Of taxes and his under officers
are entitled to credit for the prompt discharge of
their duties, and the prompt manner in which the
taxes have been paid, speaks well for the law
abiding disposition of our population We OBJ
serve that County warrants issued and registered
sixteen months since, are being paid by the Treas.
urer. This is doing far better than large ma
jority of the Counties OF the State. The exer-
else of little economy on the part of the pres.
ent Board of Supervisors, is all that is necessary
to secure an early extrication Of our County from
her Indebtedness.

Shasta and our Neighbors,

We are gratiGed to notice in the last issue Of
tbe Shasta Republican, disposition manifested to
rejoice in our prosperity. Weaverville may be
called a scion OF Shasta and to be left as have
hitherto been, to battle alone and unaided by her,
against all the obstacles presented to our growth,
and to be adding all the while to her wealth and
prosperity, is, to say the least. treating us with
marked Indifference.
The interests Of the two places are naturally
closely allied, and since this is acknowledged by
Shasta it appears very strange that in the city of
Shasta but one hundred dollars stock Is subscrib-
ed towards connecting the two places by wagon
road Almost one half of this road is in Shasta
County, and yet not more than five hundred dol
lars stock ont Of twenty thousand has been sub
scribed in that County. Sympathy at the proper
time we appreciate, but we fear that probable
success in our enterprise, without the assistance
Of our neighbors induces them to accord even
this TO us. We however are disposed to be char
liable. If the citizens of Shasta had taken the
correct view Of our isolated position, they would
have seen that great work was first to be done
near home before we could run off to Mobiles
lass LOT al OlgeCI On WHICH W eApeHu ouT puOllC
spirit, for we presume not aiding in the i'm
provement of the emigrant road is the fact allud
ed TO by the Republican.
The road to Shasta County is, we are happy to
announce, half completed, and progressing fine
ly. The probabilities are that early in the spring
we shall have the road in good condition for
wagons. The citizens of Shasta may yet have
enough TO do to make the road from the Tower
House to Shasta better than the Horsetown road
in order to keep the trade of this place.
See to it, neighbors.

The Rainy season and the Prospects.

Winter is upon us in earnest at least for the
past few days it has been raining almost inces-
sanity This is not as In The Eastern States, or
in the Southern counties of this State, an imped-
iment to our business men, but quite the reverse
Situated we at present are, the miners, who
give life and zest to business of every character,
are dependent almost entirely upon the heavens
for bountiful supplies of water.
We always hail the rainy season as good and
true friend, for it invariably inspires all with in
dustry, and awakens an activity which through
the summer months, when water is scarce, no
mining locality wears. During the rainy season
we have no idlers every one possessed of the
least energy can secure for himself not only a
living, but more frequently, excellent wages
wherever he may please with diligence to ply the
pick and shovel.
This being the case throughout the whole ex
tent of our county, we are constantly inquring
why it is that our mines are not more abundantly
supplied with water? 1t is not because water
can not be had, for there are any number of
streams that might be readily turned on to these
mines, 1t is true that 1t requires capital to
amount which 10 one here possesses, but we fire.
quently hear of investments in similar property
in other portions OF the State, proving worthless
from the poverty of the mines upon which the
water has been conducted. This cannot be the
case here, for wherever water can be obtained to
work, the ground has been washed as often as
eight and ten times, and still, with plenty of wa
ter would pay well and there are hundreds of
acres of'mneral lands far above the command of
our water races, which prospect equally as well
as any yet worked in the county.
To know these facts, it is only necessary to see
the country. We are satisfied if those who are
anxious for safe and remunerative investments
would but examine for themselves, the opportn-
mites here afforded for the acquisition of this
character of property, they would be astonished
that our mines were not already supplied. 1t is
however, much to be regretted fact that they
are not, and we are compelled to rely upon Prov
idence furnishing US in the winter. The manner
in which it has been raining lattery has given us
reason to rejoice, and to anticipate a prolific
yield of gold from our mines during its continu-
ance. Though much ain may detract from our
personal comfort, let it come, say we, for it
brings prosperity to our citizens

A DEEP SHAFT-THE DEEPEST IN CALIFORNIA.
The shaft upon the quartz lode of Hayward aud
Robinson, at Sutter Creek, Amador county, says
the Volcano Ledger, has been sunk to depth of
three hundred and fifteen feet, being in all prob.
ability the deepest shaft in the State. The lode
is four feet wide on the top, and has increased
until at the depth above given it is 16 feet III
width The quality of the rock has increased
constantly as the shaft has gone down. 1t is said
it pays $50 per ton, and from the extreme width
of the lode, is quarried with facility. All this
goes to prove the ineXhaustibe wealth that Cal

CALIFoRNGA--In an article entitled " Home
Land" the California Magazine draws the follow
ing picture of what is to be the future of our
State
California. too, not only exclaims Eureka p
to the Pacific. but, from her position, must ever
hold the Keys of our vast and rapidly y-increasng
commerce. Do not China India and the vast
archipelago of the Pacific, lie at our very gates {?
When the peaceful employments of older States
shall content our people, and the love of gold
become secondary to that of pleasant home as
an incentive to the emgrant, we can then make
the Pacific alive with onr feet of ships bearing
manufactures, home nafactureS, and civilza.
tion to the numberless islands of Oceanica, and
the continent Of Asia.
The signs Of the times" as indicated by the
political tremblings of the nations of the great
Asiatic coasts, clearly point to dissolvng of
present dynasties and ancient governmental
forms, giving place to new and enlarged systems
adequate to the wants and eXigencies of an ad-
vancing civilization. That California from her
position, if not acting an important part in the
great drama of barbaric dissolution, will reap an
immense benefit from this convulsion of Asiatc
institutions, needs not the voice of prophecy to
affirm or the lapse of time to demonstrate.
When her nearly four millions month, the
surplus of her industry and earnings of her peo-
pie, shall be retained within her own borders, for
the development of her vast resources when her
people, from the multiplicity of their ships, shall
command as their own. the whale and other fish
cries, and the general commere of the Pacific
seas when her agriculture shall have passed from
uncertain experiment to positive system when
her countless unoccupied acres, teeming with fer
tility, shall be brought under cultivation ; when
her mineral wealth shall have been fairly pros
pected !" then, and not till then, can we begin to
