The number of ships that arrived In
San Francisco bay then numbered
two each day. Nearly all we're aban'
dunad by their crews. who preferred
to seek their fortunes in the mines.
The finest vessels afloat rotted in the
bay. In 1s49 alone. the pioneers by
sea mum bered $4,000. of which 3d.
600 we're Americans. Those by land
amounted to $4,000, of whom 3d.
600 were Americans. To show the
results of the discovery of gold, l
will give some figures. In lS47. the
total Of gold product In the Untied
States was less than 81, 1000, 600. In
1S49, by reason OF the California
mines. the figure al ose to SAC, ,OOO.-
900, and in 1853 to s65, 200, 600,
the greatest output In our history.
Can anyone now doubt why Califor-
MIA is called golden. IL was golden
In its mines, golden In it's flowers.
golden In It's sunsets, golden In the
possession of the pioneers and its
native IONS and daughters. ."

A number Of leading citizens met
last evening with Messrs. killen aud
Warner tn discuss the Sumpter- Bourne
railroad proposition. When II was
announced In The Miner that these
gentlemen were here for the purpose
Of p ,rfectina arrangements to build
this road, expecting to begin work ut
an early date, some inexplicable op-
position to the enterprise appeared.
They st once announced that II the
people here didn't want the road,
they certainly wouldnt force IL on
the community. This entirely justi'
table attitude on their part eau sed
some OF the more progressive citizsus
to take the matter up, which resulted
In the meeting last evening.
Messrs. Killsn and Warner, speak.

which he gave some interesting facts
about tn. discovery Of gold there.

"On January 2i!h, lsiS, just two
weeks before the signing OF the
articles of peace with Mexico, gold
was discoverd In California. Then
commenced the movement OF people
to the mines from all parts OF the
earth. Unlike the pioneers of former
days, the majority OF these immi'
grants simply desired to gather gold
aud then return to their homes; but
as fate would have 1t, ailured by the
beauty of the scenery and the mild
climate, they preferred to remain
citizens OF this land Of the " 'sI.

ing for their company, stated that
they have the larger portion Of the
money necessary to build the road
pledged. IL the people here will show
their faith in the enterprise by sub
scri bing for a small per cent of the
bonds. This was considered alto
gether satisfactory and it is under
stood that all oposition Is withdrawn.
A committee was appointed to hand lie
this end of the deal. There Is no
formidable obstacle In the way OF
SUCCESS, and very little doubt ut this
time.
Strange to say, tbsre has been
some, apparently, honest difference
of opinion as to what effect this road
will have on Sumpter's future, a few
people thinking that 1t might divert
trade from this camp. Not Wishing
to appear dogmstic, The Miner must
say that these skeptics are absolutely
mistaken. The principle that to
improve and facilitate travel and
transportation between any town and
tributary districts is supremely bene-
fetal to both the central snd the cen
tiguous communities IL as Gel tain es-
tsblished as any principle of political
economy can be, and can be demon.
strated with the accurate certainty Of
a mathematical problem.
This IL mere allegation, Of
course, though II IL true. But to
come down to details In this paIticu-
lar case; the building of this road
will bring IN foreign capital that
will be circulated here, In the con-
struction of the road. After II Is
built, IL will make possible the prof
table working of mines which are
not now operated, owing to high
charges on machinery

roll. As the ore supply increases.
the capacity OF the smelter must nec.

that the merchants will sell more
