ASSESSORS REPORT.
Assessors OFFICE. Placer Co.
November 18th, 1860.

November l3th l6OO.
To H. A. Higley, Surveyor Generak'
In compliance with law herewith submit my
annual report. As in my last report do not
deem it necessary to indulge in any lengthy COM
ments, preferring to submit compilation of sta
tistics for the consideration Of those who may be
interested therein.
1t will be seen by comparison with my previous
repO TT that some species of property have depre-
ciatcd in value, and my observations as to the
causes that have brought about the result may
not be inappropriate. ..rrt
Live stock, although having largely increased
in numbers have deprecated in value. This is
doubtless owing the fact that the facilities for
range and pasture possessed heretofore IN the
lower portion of the county having almost en-
tirely failed, and greater attention and expense
being requisite to the proper care Of this kind Of
property the market necessarily became crowded
and hence the loss in value. Thisgrazing region
too being composed of rich agricultural land. hav-
ing fallen into the ownership and possession OF
our citizens, under the various State and United
States land laws, and the right of common range
being denied to the owners of stock, has also had
its weight to lessen their value.
The fact, however, of these lands becoming
private property hgs greatly added to the value
Of real estate; the land itself being taxed at its
market price, when heretofore the improvements
alone have been assessed.
The value of Ditch property has decreased as
has also that of Saw-mills ! am unable to ac'
count for the former ns our mining regions ar e
rich and valuable-nor for the latter. unless it be
that the facilities for market are such as not to
allow n competition with other more favored
countries When system of Railways shah
have been projected and completed, the heavy
and eXten>ive forests in the upper portion of our
county will prove one of the greatest sources Of
wealth to Our people.
1t is pleasing to see the attention and care that
our citizens are giving to the cultivation of the
various iruit trees and vines. The cultivation OF
the grape has been demonstrated to be peculiarly
adapted to our climate and many OF our citizens
have embarked extensively in the enterprise
One vineyard alone, near the centre of our coun-
ty. is covered with upwards OF 10000 vines.
| The figures given below will compare favorably
with any previous report from this office, and
| feel confident that Placer county combining MS
she does all the best elements OF climate. soil and
| productions. will continue to increase in wealth.
and Tor all time furnish q home for rich and
prosperous people.
The following is as correct an estimate as pos
sible of the various Fruit Trees and Vines under
| n cn1tiy ttiOn.

THE PLACER HERALD.
AUBURN, NOVEMBER II, 1860.

LINCOLN ELECTED. - The Pony Express,
with the news of Lincoln's election, arrived
on the l4th inst, bringing St. Louis dates to
the evening Of the 7th. We we're surprised
at the unprecedented time made by the Pony
q days., but not at the intelligence brought
bv it. Since the result of the October elec-
tions we have had no other expectation than
that Lincoln would sweep the entire North.
The news leaves Illinois somewhat in doubt,
but the probabilities are that he has carried
that as well as all the free States. Our read.
ers are referred to majori:ies in another col
umn. Democrats will find nothing consoling
in them.
The Placer herald., 1860-11-17

TAE LATEsr.--So far as the returns have
been received in California. Lincoln has
37,O27 votes; Douglas 6,l93, Breckinrldge,
3l,923; Bell, s,449. Lincoln over Douglas
e34; Lincoln over Brecknrdge 5,lo4;
Douglas over Breckinridge 4,27o. The
official returns will undoubtedly give Lin
coin about the same relative vote; and it
may be set down that the Republicans have
carried California. Who would have
thought it!
The Placer herald., 1860-11-17

HORSE SHOE BAR PREcINcT.-The Board
of Supervisors commenced canvassing the
official vote yesterday. On the question of
admitting or rejecting the returns from Up
per Horse Shoe the argument of counsel
was heard-Messrs. Hale and Smith cen
tending for the admission, and NJ. E. Mills
for the rejection. A decision upon the mat
ter has been deferred until Monday.
