Reported Interview with Robert Earton.
| New York, December 13th.-An evening
| paper prints an interview with member OF
what it calls "Our California Colony, and

do you know of any other Californians
who have come East for this reason?'
Yes, quite number. Among them,
Charles Crocker, William M. Lent, D. 0.
Mills, John f. Boyd, George Melany and the
Belden family. There are literally hundreds
who would come were it not for local entan-
clements and personal reasons. 1 am afraid
that all California is likely TO suffer from loss
of trade and population for time. The
middle class have been injured and impov-
erished by gambling on the Comstock."
