Arrse.us.re a.d sriaing.

From he early ooca patton of California, by
Americans, until within recent period, the
general feeling Of the people living in the
mineral portion Of the State, was, that the
mines belonged to the miners and that the
government should allow no disposition of
those lands to be made other than for mining
purposes. SO long as the earth continued to
yield gold in paying quantities. this policy
was oil right, but when the placer mines be-
came worked to such an extent that the pro-
it was gone. then every kind Of business be-
gan to feel the want of something besides
mining to sustain il. Still the miners were
nearly all, and some until this iay, are tena-
cicns of what they call their rights, they are
opposed to the public lands being sold for ag-
ricultural purposes. Congress has enacted
several laws regulating the sale of mining
claims or mineral ground, but there has been so
much trouble and ex pense required to comply
with them, that thus far very few have avail
ed themselves Of their provisions, not one hav-
ing done so in this county.
Now that the government intend selling all
the lands in the mining COMMITTEES, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the general condition
will he improved throughout this section.
Heretofore but little benefit has been derived
from tho value of the land in the matter of
taxation, the party holding simple posses
sorry right was taxed for the bare improve
ments on their claim. While real estate is
held by such doubtful and precarious titles ns
have existed and must continue until govern
ment disposes Of them to settlers and purchas-
ers, permanent improvements or prosperous
communities cannot be expected. When the soil
can be made to bear its equitable proportion of
the expenses of government it will enhance
the value of all kinds ofproperty in this county
and our exhorbitant per cent. of taxes must
be materially reduced. With a low rate of
taxation and constant increase of agricultural
population, there can be no QUESTION that Tu-
olumne must soon become one of the thriving
and valuable counties of the State. All our
lands are valuable for some purpose, and
when put in market at public sale, will be
sold to somebody. The contest betw cen
mining and agriculture in the mineral dis
tricts is about over, when agricultural inte-
rests in these mountains shall have the same
rights and protection accorded them that
mining interests have had, we shall believe
that better days are coming to relieve the
present depression.
