IMPROVEMENTS. - Moses Patterson.
Nelson Leonard and Mr.. Barron, of the
New River country were in town the be
ginning of the week. From them we
learn that the New River country is look
ing up, and that the present outlook is
that there will be more miners in that re-
gion this Summer than there has been for
many years before. Another gratifying
fact is that the new corners are industri-
Gus and will embark in enterprises which
cannot fail to bring New River into some
thing like it's old repute. Two compa-
nies are at work taking water out of the
main stream, and two saw-mils will be
construc ted, something which we believe
they have never had ON New Riyer, the
lumber used there being sawed by hand.
A good operation for company Of men
in our opinion would be, to take water
out Of New River high enough up for it
to pass through the gap where the trail
which comes down at Bells Flat comes
into the New River Valley. Once over
this ridge it would command all the ex-
tensiye gravel deposits on the North side
Of the Trinity River, which are now idle
for the lack Of proper water facilities to
work them. There are very large gravel
deposits in that portion Of the county,
and SO far us they have been prospected
they give evidence Of being rich. When
we were there last, Mr.. HdIstone showed
us whore a tunnel had been run fully II
quarter OF Il mile from the river, in which
The gravel gave a fine sluicing prospect.
We are not advised us to the length OF
ditch which would be required to bring
New River through the gap of which we
have spoken, but as it would in all prob
ability cover diggings from the dam clear
down the whole length of its course along
the river, it has the appearance Of prof
table Investment.

Nor REPEALED. An impression ex-
lists that the law making women eligible
to educational offices was repealed ut the
last session of the Legislature. In refer
encc to this matter we find correspond
encc in th e Shasta Courier between Mrs.
d. NJ. Coleman, School Superintendent
Of that county, and Professor Carr, State
Superintendent, and Jo. Hamilton, At
tOrney General. The answers of these
officials to Mrs. Coleman settles the ques-
ton in reference to the status of ladies to
hold educational offices aiiirmatively.-
Shasta, Trinity, and we think two other
counties elected Lady Superintendcnts
two years ago, and, it is seen can endorse
their administrations by re-election il
the voters see proper to do so. So far as
we have heard the course Of Miss Wad-
leigh has given good satisfaction in this
county, fully as much as if she were one
Of the sterner sex.

the purpose Of purchasing "A pickhandle.
He was shown to the back part of the
shop whore the handles were and left to
select one for himself. Mr.. Bentons vest
was hanging near there and in the pock-
ct thereof was a fine gold watch and chain,
valued at about 5000. When Mr.. Ben
ton put on his vest at supper-time, the
watch and cham were gone, and they are
positive the Chinaman got them, but are
not so certain as to the identity of that
particular celestial among his fellow
countrymen. Search was made in Chi
natown but, of course, the watch was not
discovered, the Chinese bump of secret

SANE HERE.-The Shasta Courier saws
mat IN that county there was eleven ma
Jority for the Tilden Electors and four for

evenly divided that neither can afford to
indulge in any foolishness " this year.
The same remark will apply to this
county where the Tildenitcs got twenty
majority and Luttrell nine, especially as
the average voter is getting to be pretty
independent about the way he cuts and
sIashes his ticket. \ nomination is not
equivalent to an election now, by any

The Salmon Fishery.

The Stockton (Cal.) Independent SAYS I'VE
learn from Judge S. A. BROKER that Capt. John
Lard, who lives near the mouth Of the Tuolumne
rlVer III StanlSauS county, reports an eXtraordi-
nary run OF salmon up the San Joaquin and its
tributaries, greater than has been known for five
years past. The general testimony is to the effect
that the run of salmon is greater in all the Calior
MA waters than usual, bat on account of the per
slstent violation of the law by the salmon canning
establishments, by which so 900 seed salmon have
been destroyed since the commencement of the
close season, the supply of salmon in the Sacra-
mento river promises to be particularly scarce
The agency of the hatchery on the McCloud river
states that they have been able. with the greatest
effort, to collect 5000000 eggs this year against
lo,Ooo, OOo last year. For the effort of the fish
commissioners to stock streams with an abund-
ance of fish to be frustrated by the criminal action
OF the establishment named, calls forth indignant
protests from every citizen Of the State, and the
vigorous prosecution Of the proprietor is demand
ed" The Pacific Tribune published in Washing
ton Territory says of the salmon catch: 'Yester-
day 1000 fish were caught and the run is simply
immense. The fish taken now are what are known
as silversides, beautiful in appearance and of the
finest flavor. They are all taken by hook, and
none by seiDe and the catchers are Indians alone
Three Indians went out together yesterday fore
noon, in three small canoes, and when they re
turned to Muskllteo, early III the afternoon they
had 400 splendid fish. The Chinese do the work
on shore. The canning firms are very well suited
with the success of their enterprise at that place
and next year will undoubtedly spread out
siderably." The same paper has this item:
Change OF Flsheries-The exhaustion of salmon
fishing on the Columbia river is driving the can
neries to other places. Geo W. Hume has estab
lished a small fishery at Gray's Harbor, and last
week sent around to Umpqua the schooner Hera
with 100 Cinnamon and all immense quantity of
machinery, for the starting of cannery there.
Kinney Co. of Astoria have set up temporary
cannery at Tilamook, and Watson Bros are about
following Hume around to Gray's Harbor We
presume the Columbia river salmon cannot be
beat for quality, and perhaps not equalled, but the
immense drain upon the quantity, caused by thir-
ty large canneries has diminished the latter to an
extent making the business the reverse Of profit
