accommodating local expressman, has pub
1ished pictorial almanac fer 1860, which he
has for sale at 25 cents copy. The illus
traiions represent California scenery and
character, the frontispiece being vigorous
sketch of Lake Bigler. The letter press en-
braces much statistical and other informa-
tion concerning our State, ina compact form
convenient for reference. From the mint
statistics we learn that the total value of
gold ore received at the S. F. Branch Mint
from April Sd, 1854, the period of its estab-
lishment, to Sept. 3Oth, 1859, was $l09,27O,

little about them And yet, eleven steam

depths of the earth, and all comprised within
the space of halt an acre of grou1d, one of
them throwing its volume of scalding water

THE HENNEss PASS ROUTE.

This fine route for highway across the
Sierra Nevada is highly commended by a
correspondent of the Mary sTille Express who
, signs himself G. II. B. He says that since
the first day of November he has been over
the HennesS-Truckee route also by way of
Sierra Valley. Beckwourths Pass and Long
Valley, Smiths Neck Cut Off. and the Carson
or Placerille route; and the natural advan-
tages'of 'eife 'frsthamed route he pronouhces
superior to those of all the rest. 1t presents
great facilities for light and easy grading, is
more secure from freshets affords good gra-
zing and wifi not require heavy expenditures
to keep 1t passable. In referring to the late
ly organized Truckee Turnpike Company
which will commence the construction of i,
road through the Renness Pass Nth the
opening of spring, e. r. B., who is an ener-
getic and intelligent gentleman, and well
known to many of our citizens, uses the fol-
lowing language:
"Let the people from Marysville, norther-
ly, all along the line interested, take hold'of
this matter boldly with .Mcssrs Nood, Free
man & Co., aid them to push their work along
without any delay, and to do it by taking
stock in their company; and you will turn
many thousands of dollars worth of bust
ness, monthly, through the Henness Pass,
into Forest City, Downieville, San Juan,
French Corral and Marysville, that other
wise will be forever lost 20 you; and it must
be done promptly. Let the summer rush
pass over your tavorite route, to publish to
the world its excellence"
The writer also contends that this route
can be kept open through the winter, as well
as the Placcrville route, when there are sta
tions along it as on that, by using the same
exertions.
While upon this subject of transmontane
roads again, we ish TO make one remark.
We do not admire the course of some cotem-
poraries, whose arguments for a favorite
road project are linked with disparagements
of other routes. They seem to think that
there will be but one highway across the
Admit that the Placerville, or the Henness,
or the Yuba Gap route is inferior, does it
follow that only one road will be built? Not
at all. Sacramento needs road and is
bound to have one; SO does Nevada, and so
do the towns adjacent to North San Juan
amptonvlle and Downievilie; and they Will
all have their desire. The wise policy is for
Journals to show the necessity of the route
they advocate for home interests, its feast
bility and its advantages, and let other road
projects alone. We are tired of seeing eve
rybody attacking the Placeryille road. Even
while convinced that it will always prove
more expensive than the Truckee Turnpike,
that is no argument against it, because it is
necessary for another section altogether and
that section may make the best of it, as this
will of the road through the Henness Pass.
