TIE BEST RAILROAD RoUTE.-The State Geolo-
gist, Professor WHlrNEy. has taken a contract to
survey and make map of Plumls county. He is
now engaged in making 4 geological survey Of the
eornty. which viii be completed this fall. Some of
his assistants who are considered the best survey
ors in the State, in conversation as we learn
from the Quincy Union. stated that the Central
Pacific Company made great mistake when they
located the road on the Dutch Flat route; that the
route through Plumas county via. Beckwourth' :
Pass was far the best for railroad. He stated
from what he had heard that be supposed the route
of the Feather river from Nelson Point down
was a very rough one, bat that it could not be
worse than some portions Of the Dutch Flat route.
The Union adds: Any surveyor, or set of sur
veyorS, who are not hired to detame this route
would say the same thing; and had justice been
done by the lncators OF the Central road it would
have passed through this county. The only practi-
cable route for railroad over the Sierras is thro
Piamas county" II is quite probable that the op-
eratons Of Professor WHITNEY in Plumas county,
viii demonstrate the feasibility OF this route and
that. too, by the best authority in the State. This
being done it only remains for one ordinarily severe
winter 10 expose the Dutch Flat swindle, when
capital will be readily found for the construction of
a railroad over this practicable route. /, is only a
question OF time as il was with the war of the re-
hellioa.

CoAL-The coal bed Of Table Mountain is ad;
by the Orovile Gas Light Company, and it was
from this coal bed that the company procared their
coal for the manufacture of Gas No attempt has
since been made to niue Il. In fact with that ex-
ceptio1, il has lain idle since 1861 when feeble
attempt was made to open it, and considerabl e
quantities was brought into towa, and came in 10
very general use. Why it was not continued We
know not. as it then commanded SIS 2 ton. 1t is
not yet fairly developed and as it will make gas,
and burns freely ordinary fuel, it is difficult to
determine why it should be made profitable bnsi
ness. There is not less than 81 900 annually
paid for coal imported into California, amounting
to nearly one-tweth of our annual export of gold.
Could this one-twelfth be stopped in midst, it
would go some ways towards giving California in
creased business facilities, and greatly improving
the money market. 1t is not known that California
can produce coal sufficient for home consumption,
but every step made in that direction, is barrier
erected against the constant gold drain upon the
State. Mount Diablo is doing something towards
stopping this drain, having produced within the
past six months about so 900 tons. This at s. 2
ton. the lowest price at which it is quoted, would
amout to about $500 900 per annnm. There is no
reason why our table mountain should not contrib
for freight we enjoy, and With the prospect of
an immediate extension of the railroad almost to
they very foot of Table Mountain we fail to discov-
er why this coal niue should not prove profitable
investment.

PITCH AND RoslN notwithstanding the very
low prices obtained, there is considerable doing in
these articles of merchandise. The shipments from
this point, average about fifty tons per month. In
this trade there is lively competition from Ore
gon at low figures. The turpentine still at this
place is doinga good business, and its capacity is
to be greatly increased. Notwithstanding the low
prices obtained for pitch rosin and spirits of tur
pentine, the supply from the mountain towns con
tnues unabated, and appears to have became a reg
ular business, and must of course afford those en-
gagged in it some profit.
