THE STATE AT LARGE.


The Yreka Union records prosperous
times in that place rich prospects
building ofnew brick stores laying out
of an Odd Fellows Cemetery. Nc
Donald calls it Ga beautiful little city,"
49,. Weaverville, according to the Trim
ity Journal, lisa small Porkopolis. One
LOOMS there is now engaged slaughter
ing 1000 hogs-worth about s21 900,
to be packed down as pork. There are
$50 bridges on the Weaver and Shasta
road. The Journal tells of two mon
ster apples raised in that region and
weighing together 38 ounces !..... The
Shasta Library Association is now well
established. An able address was re-
Gently delivered before it by Judge
Hinckley. There are 800 native born
California children in Shasta county,
Republicam.......The Plumas argus
represents the miners in its vicinity as
prospecting finely, making as high as
$50 per day. The Argus advocates the
establishment of mail line from Salt
Lake to Marysville, by way of Honey
Lake, and vouches for the superiority
of the route over all others, The
Placerville Democrat learns that the
wagon road, with the exception of the
bridge, will be completed in a week or
two. The Sierra Citizen says that
1900 ounces Of gold, the result of fifty
days work at the Refs Quartz Mill, ST.
ezra Buttes, was lately deposited with
Ladd & Co. The. lode will yield $780,
600 a month. Hurrah for Frazer and
ella river!.. 49,. The Mountain Messen-
ger records much mining success, and
avows amorous proclivities towards Ce-
lestial femininity. No good John J..
E. B. Boust has withdrawn from the
Placer Courier, published at Yankee
Jim's. He is succeeded by Mr.. Steele,
formerly of the Columbia Gazette. The
Courier urges the formation of mining
associations, for the purpose of promo
ting the various interests of miners. A
good idea. A paper is to be started at
Iowa HILL. From the Folsom Dis
patch we learn that the new Education
al Institute in that town is finished. It
is splendid building-of brick, three
stories high, an ornament and a credit
to the place. Folsom will be beauti-
full town hereafter. The bridge across
the American river for the railroad is
progressing rapidly. The granite quar-
rying business is increasing...... The
Petaluma Journal reports that town as
steadily and healthily growing. This is
the word everywhere The State was
never SO truly prosperous as now.......
The San Andreas Independent earnestly
and forcibly cautions miners not to be
deluded by the extravagant reports of
rich gold discoveries on the ella, and
rightly pronounces them humbug.-
How any one can read the full and reli-
able accounts of mining successes pub
lished by the Independent of its own
vicinity, and then 60 on a wild goose
hunt elsewhere we don't see. $500. The
steamer Cortez lately brought from Or
egon 200 tons Of apples-equal 10000
bushels or 8, 200 barrels !...... The San
Jose Tribune describes whaling as the
most extensive, characteristic and prof.
table business Of Monterey. The same
paper says that the workmen at the New
Almaden mines are subjected to much
privation and suffering by being thrown
out Of employment The total number
Of children in San Jose isl.
