Prospects Of Trinity County,

We are on the eve of vast and beneficial rev.
olution in industrial and commercial affairs
throughout the Pacific coast. The Atlantic
journals inform US that the marvellous rush OF
40 will dwindle into insignifcance, when CONS
pared with the mutitudes whose advent upon
our shores will be witnessed by us the coming
summer. Natural causes, as old as civilization
ITSELF combine to inaugurate movement of
population and capital Pacifc-wards: for which
modern history furnishes no parallel. This
years influx will be but the advanced guard OF
steadily increasing immigration coming to stay
with us and identify their fortunes with ours.
great State is forming: within a brief period
tens of thousands of inhabitants will take the
place of thousands, and we going to have
great cities, mammoth factories, systematized
agriculture and cheaplv-worked mines in this
California of ours. But while anticipating this
great and rapid change in the general condition
of the country, is it not we'll that we consider
county will be affected by it? The first rush
will mainly be retained in the cities and large
valleys, but as these natural reservoirs of popu-
lation fill up, after-comers will find it necessary
to seek for homes and employment at distance
from the principal agricultural and commercial
centres. Climate and opportunities for obtain
ing livelihood will control the question of
residence, and we may safely calculate that Trim
ity county is destined ultimately to be perma-
nently inhabited by as many persons as a thor
ough development of its resources will support
This We can accelerate if we choose; but
whether any effort be made to attract them hither
or not, by this fall, at furthest, we will see
newly-arrived strangers from the Eastern States
looking for work, perhaps aiming to engage in
mining operations, or, it may be, desrous 10 es-
tablsh some branch of business or manufactures
1t is no exaggeraton to say that several hundred
during this year and the next without extraor-
dinary exertion our part. In 1861 this
county polled 1900 votes business of every
character fourishing in proportion. The i'm
mense difference existing at present is largely
due to the attraction of business and capital to
San Francisco as by far the most profitable field,
which is now being fast remedied by our in
creasing productions and the pouring of money
into the State from abroad. The construction
of the Stewards fork ditch, or any other enter
prise which would open mines Of similar extent
and value, would fully compensate for all ex-
haustion of our resources through mining since
1851. For some years past the agricultural
courAies and the metropolis alone prospered but
there is no doubt that this season will mark our
lowest point of depression. Henceforward the
mining counties will experience an infusion of
new energy and life and retracing their steps,
enter, along with the State at large, upon a
steady substantial growth.

held abroad, four-ffths of which have been
sent out since 1862. For two years we have
been supposing that the limit of this remarkable
investment demand had been reached but still
the absorption continues-the export of bonds
and stocks being nearly as active as ever
Within the month of February probably not less
than $40, 900, 900 of bonds and stock were sent
to Europe. Five-twentics haye sold in Lon
don at eighty-two, and yet higher prices are to
be expected. The policy inaugurated by Presi-

The Mosr VALUABLE GOLD NINE IN THE
WoRLD.- The most valuable and extensive gold
mine in the world is that known as the "Morro
Veho," in Brazil, which is worked by Eng
lish company which vas first formed in 1890
The mine is located in the midst of an extensive
mining region, on the western slope of a range
of mountains, closely resembling in topography
and geology, the western slope of the Sierra Ne
vada Of this State, and some $50 miles north of
the city of Rio Janeiro. At the time of the pur-
chase of the property by the company it had
been extensively worked by native proprietors
for more than century, chiefly by open cut
tings, and with varied results and reported
profits. The company has six mills in operation
for reducing its Erst-class ores, running in all
l35 stamps. The average daily duty of each
stamp is 2,666 pounds. The company employs
400 hands, about l3o of whom Europeans

AN industrious Gentle population consisting

preJudicial to Mormonism. If the Central Pa
ciic road is extended to a junction with the
Kansas Pacific the Colorado, running south
from Elko and skirting the southern rim of the
Utah basin, it will take in the most important
of the southern Mormon cities and exert pow
erfnl influence towards de-Mormonizing them
At any rate, such an extension will help to de-
