The Census Of 1850 made the total population Of
California indians not counted 81 5g7, bus there
were iome counties from which no returns were
received, which it was estimated, would increase
the aggregate TO ll7,533. Only two ye,r' there
after, q State Censu, was taken, which increased
the number 70 2G4 435-it having more than doubled
(by mmigratOn) in two years. OF this number,

To-day, the total population Of the Golden State
excluding Indisns) is probably not less than Half
Million: the Census Of so will doubtless give a
still larger aggregate. Of these, judge that some

But the industry Of Cafornis produces important

tie Union is making more rapid strides in building,

County Of Los Angeles alone.) The aggregate will
