Our County Prospects.

At no period for the last eight years has
the business of Shasta and the surrounding
country presented such hopeful and perma-
nent prospects as at the present time. On
every hand we witness increased thrift in
almost every department of business, and
many of our citizens who few months since
talked of emigrating to Humboldt and the
northern mines, for the want of sufficient pay
ing business to ensure a livelihood, have
abandoned the adventure, and are now de-
sermined to use their capital and labor in
developing our home interests, with GER
sainty of yet realizing their brightest hopes
ia Shasta county.
The thorough manner in which some Of
our nsoned men are taking hold of the min
ing interests of the county, shows the faith
they have in soon developing the vast min.
eral wealth long known to have existed in the
county We hear of new developments al
most daily, and new quartz mills going up
in every direction, which will give steady and
permanent employment to hundreds Of our
miners who have heretofore relied upon pla-
Ger mining for their support, and who mostly
depended upon. that bounty which the heav
ems might bestow for Supplying them with
water
The increased trade Of our merchants, and
the travel that has been created by the de-
velopments at Pittsburg, leave no question as
to our future prospects. Real estate in some
portions of the county is again changing
hands for cash, and new roads and ferrys are
being projected and put into use. We learn
from letter received frem the Engineer Of
the California and Oregon Railroad Company,
who is now in Washington for the purpose of
obtaining charter for the road from Con-
gress, that the project meets with great ia
vor among the leading men at our National
Carital. He entertains no doubt of meeting
with entire success in his mission. This road
having been surveyed by Mr.. Elliot last sea-
son, is to pass directly through Shasta, and
will be built within the next three years from
Marysville to this point. The rapid devel
opments in mining in the northern portion of
the State viii insure the speedy completion
of the road, and make it paying route.
We feel that bright future lies before our
citizens, provided they all take hold and
strive to open up the varied resources of the
county, abandoning the idea of going into
some distant portion of the country to find
that which they have here lying within their
reach.
