The MINEs.-The prospects of the mining
interest in the large scope of country en-
bracing the west side of the North Fork of
Feather River, the West Branch and Butte
Creek, is much brighter the present season
than ever heret ofore. The completion of
the Walker & Wilson ditch, the Frenchtown
Mining Compuny's Ditch, and fiat of our
old friends Cap. Wilson and Fred Stryker,
together with many other bitches of less
magnitude. will supply a vast section of
country with water, that the miners have
heretofore been compelled to abandon du-
ring the dry season. The Walker and Will
son ditch traverses rich mining country
for distance of twenty-five or thirty miles,
and empties its muddy waters into the main
Feather river at Thompson's Flat The
other principal ditch, mentioned above, and
which is now approaching completion, will
supply Frenchtown. Spanishtown and vicin-
tiles. An abundance of water upon these
locations, Will support an immense mining
population for years. It's a source of graf
itcation to see the material interest of the
county In prosperous condition, and of
great satisfaction to miners who having
long since staked off the earth containing
their piles, have waited patiently for water
with which to wash it out, The Larkin
"rant covers considerable portion of the
/ section embraced IN the above view.

There are now three schemes before the
Legislature to legalize the State indebted
ness, and it is the duty Of that body to adopt
the plan most simple, and which will effect
ually accomplish the end desired. If the
Legislature are opposed to a constitutional
convention, of course it caanot be effected in
that way, although we think, that the ire
qualities Of representation as now estab-
llshed, is an inducement which should infu-
eace most Of the mining counties to favor a
constitutional convention We believe that
projects for settling the State debt question
would meet with the approval of Butte Co,
for that reason. The constitution will have
to be arsended at some time, ard the evils
Inflicted upon some portions Of tie State by
the inequalities of representation, are more
grievous to bear, than the expense attend.
ing constitutional conse ntion at the pres
ent time.
Another plan is, one which re-enacts all
the funding bills of the different years, in
cooperating them into one general law and
providing for its submission to the vote of
the people to say whether or not it shall be
enacted, The objections to this mode of
proceeding are, that the funding laws are
unconstitutional, and that, the constitution
does not provide for submitting such laws
to the people.
Another plan is to appropriate the amount
necessary to cover the outstanding illegal
Indebtedness Of the State, and after the APP
preparation is made, and the bill drawn up
in all respects in accordance with the re-
quirements of the Sth article of the consti-
tuition, and submit it to the people at the
general election in September next.
1t is evident that the bonds of the State
have not been legally ISIS ued, and therefore
stand in the position of claims against the
State, and it appears to US necessary and
proper for the Legislature TO act upon the
last mentioned plan, and after the appro-
priation has been approved by the people,
issue new bonds to the holders of those lille
gally issued.

The MURDEREss-W noted on yester-
day that woman named Eliza Monroe, had
murdered her child in San Francisco
The woman was said to be insane, but the
Bulletin states that she tells calm, straight
story, without symptoms of insanity, and
walks her cell with a troubled look. The
Bulletin says:
On being taken to the station house by
the Coroner, the woman confessed having
murdered the child, stating that it was ille-
climate, and she thought its death would
save considerable trouble and expense to her
husband and to herself on account of her
husband She said that the axe had fallen
from her hand three times while attempting
to commit the horrid deed She finally laid
the child upon the wash-board, and with
two blows severed the head from the body.
She cleaned up the blood with rags, which
she concealed IN the yard, where they were
found. She afterwards washed the head and
body of the child. wrapped them up and car
ried them to the Clubhouse.

1t is important that the business men Of
Oroville and of Butte County, should extend
all possible patronage to the effort now being
made by the California Navigation Company
to run steamers between this point and
Marysville. With the present stage of wa
ter. there is no difficulty to be apprehended,
but in order to render it navigable durin,
the summer, the Company will have to be
at considerable expense in removing snags,
and deepening the water in one or two
places Less than half the money expended
in clearing the river below Marysville, will
enable the Company to send steamers to
Oroville the year round, and it is only nee
essary to show them that business will JUS
tify them in clearing the river, to induce
them to do so. Thos Larkin, Esq, in
formed US, while ON a recent visit to this
place, that he would pay five per cent of the
amount necessary to render the river navi-
gable during the entire year. 1t only re.
quires united action on the part of our citi-
zens, to confer the benefits of extended
navigation upon the Feather country. The
benefits ofpermanent steam communication
with the lower cities, in connection with the
vast mining enterprises, water bitches,
quartz discoveries, will soon place Butte
among the first counties of the State. The
past two years has raised her from the tenth
to the fifth county in the State. Let us be
united. and true to our own interests, and
the same rapid progress awaits US for the
coming two years.

A New TRADE.-One of the provisions OF
the late treaty, says the Bee, between the
whites and La Lake and Modoc tribes OF
northern Indians, stipulates that those In
lians shall cut off their fur trade with the
Hudson Bay Company and give it to the citi-
zens of Northern California and Oregon.
This company have for many years, indeed
since California was Mexican province,
monopoized this rich and extensive trade,
purchasing furs from the Indians at mere
trifie and selling them at an immense profit
1t is right that our own citizens should enjoy
the benefits of trade existing upon our
own coasts, and this provision of the treaty
with the tribes above named is great point
gained-one which will be more and more
appreciated in the progress of years.
