RAILROAD LANDs-We are advised by
an officer of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company that an association of Eastern
and European capitalists are negotiating
for the purchase of all the odd sections OF
land which may fall to the Company in
Shasta County, said association having in
view the settlement of these lands by
Eastern and European colonists The
same parties, in the event of making this
purcfa ase, propose to construct canals taking
water out Of living streams for the irriga-
ton of said lands.
In case this sale is made and canals
dug, it will be big thing for Shasta
County. 1t will add greatly to our popula-
ton, assessment roll, and general prosperity;
and there is every assurance that TIE sale
will be made as soon as certain monetary
preliminaries are arranged with parties in
Liverpool and New York, although the
actual transfer will not be made for some
time to come.
The Shasta courier., 1872-06-01

placed on the prisoners mentioned, and last
Sunday they became disgusted at the idea
Of wearing such jewelry, and unlocked the
