Sur poRK RIpcE.-This ridge commences
at Stump Ranch, and extends thence to the
Sacramento river, at Waugh's old ferry, a
d;s+aroe If one and a half miles. Its altitude
;s fro,, three to FIVE hundred feet above the
river bed. Many years ago the ridge was
partiallv prospected. McCutcheon and Rob
nson RIM n tunnel into it some three hundred
feet and obtained good prospects. They
commenced their tunnel in the rim rock, and
after running it in for some distance found
il SO hard that they raised to the surface of
the bed rock and followed in on its face, cut
ting through washed gravel, with the bed
rock pitching into the hill. For want of
means the company stopped work, when the
citizens of Shasta, wishing to have the dig
gings thoroughly prospeeted, suggested that
money might be raised among them to fur
nish the company with provisions until they
could more thoroughly carry out the project.
A subscription list was prepared and pre-
sented to one of our heaviest firms-since
gone from among us-who put down five
dollars. This so disgusted the men that they
abandoned the enterprise, and now the tun-
mel is filed up. Other companies made cuts
into the ridge higher up than the tunnel, and
made good wages for the time they were
washing, but being compelled to keep sink
ing their tail race to level with the pitching
bed rock, their expenses exceeded their pro-
fits. 1t is now the question with our people
here, shall a company be raised to run tun-
mel into this ridge to the bottom OF the basin?
Much interest seems to be felt on the subject,
and affords another topic for discussion, and
as it bears directly upon the prosperity of the
town. and generally upon that of the county,
we hope the excitement may not die out, but
that action will be taken to effect the desired
object. The dirt wheeled out from the old
tunnel was worked by another company
some years after its abandonment, and good
pay realized. This is certainly encouraging.
Who will move in the matter? Let not
echo answer.
