source. Under the Federal head, are tables
of the officers of the General Government, to
wit Members of Congress, Ministers to for
eign countries, Generals in the army, Com
manders in the Navy, and all the Federal of
ficers on the Pacific coast. Each Of the States
and Territories mentioned in the title, are
then treated separately, giving lists of the
executive legislative, judicial and military
officers com plcte, together with all Of the
county and town officers. Every city, town
and village west of the Rocky Mountains,
fl IDS place in this book under a separate
h ad, giving the postmaster, express agent,
distance and direction from the Capital or
county seat, population, and lists of the mer
giants, physicians, attorneys. elergymen,
> ;hools, and other LEGAL information. An ex-
animation of its pages will make it a necess-
tv to every one. Business men and public
officers cannot afford to do without it.

of Nevada Territory. Scale one mile to the
inch.
This map embraces nearly all the settled
portion of the Territory, including Virginia
Uity, Gold Hill, Silver City, Dayton, Carson
City, Washoe City, and the smaller towns
that have sprung up around them. The scale
is so large as to admit the introduction OF
Il AZ ,f,A
from Washoe maps, such as the numerous
quartz lodges, silver lodes, mills and reduc-
ton works in the mining districts of Virgin
in, Gold Hill, Flowery, Devils Gate, Spring
Valley, Clear Creek, Argentine and Galena
The diagram of the Comstock Lode, with its
parallel lodges and extentions, together with
!; table of the claims and companies located
upon it, is alone worth the price of the map.

tanning an elaborate map of Southern Cal
ifornia and Western New Mexico, with ta-
bles of distances.
This is an indispensable companion to all
persons contemplating a visit to the Coso or
Slate Range Districts, or the mines along the
course of the Colorado river. Much of the
topography and many of the names on this
map were never before published ON any map.
The text contains interesting descriptions OF
the routes of travel from Los Angeles. and
also from Stockton, by the way of Visalia, to
the mines.

Northern California Railroad.

Ed. COURIER The Legislature recently
passed bill for the incorporation of com
pany, having for its object the survey of q
railroad line from Marysyille to Portland,
Oregon. The company is composed of sixty
members, who have taken hold of this pro-
ject with zeal characteristic of all Califor-
MIA enterprises. A majority of them are pi-
oneers who have assisted in laying the foun-
dations of our golden State, who have toiled
in behalf of this grand enterprise, and have
determined to devote their energies and their
means to the execution of the project. Two
thousand dollars have been subscribed in Ma
rysville for the survey. The surveying party
will commence operations during the present
month, beginning at Oroville, and running
northward up the Sacramento Valley.
We may now look forward with confidence
to the day, not far distant, when California
and Oregon will be bound by the iron bands
which shall consolidate and strengthen the
ties of nationality, and advance, with giant
strides, the prosperity of the Pacific States.
A railroad through the valley of the Sacra-
mento will tend to develop the richness of our
mines and agricultural resources. The main
centre of commerce between the two States
will become the recipients of enormous in
crease in every branch of business, and more
especially manufactures will be encouraged
and promoted.
Citizens of Shasta shall we remain silent
and inactige, and be cut off; or shall we take
some immediate action and have the railroad
pass through our town. We can accomplish
this much by our means and influence, if we
act promptly and with discrimination. A
railroad through Shasta would make it one OF
the most thriving inland towns in California.
five remain silent and inactive, and take nc
means to accomplish this project, her decline
and fall will be inevitable, and another town
will spring up in the county on the line OF
TIE railroad X.
