First of NAY Ball.


The Shasta CourtF announces "kat ball
will be given at the Tower House on the
first Of May. No special invitations will be
issued, but the public generally are invited,
through the columns Of the Courier, to be-
present on the occasion. We understand
that very extensive preparations are being
made to insure an agreeable party, and every
one who knows our friend Tower-and who
in this community does not2-will consider
the announcement that he intends to give
such an entertainment, sufficient guarantee
that it will bo a most delightful party. We
advise all our Trinity County friends, who
wish TO have good time to mount their
stoods on Tuesday morning, and, accompanied
by some fair damsel-if they can secure ssch
good company-ride over to the Tower
House and join in the gay scene.
Our friend Dosh, of the Courisr, it seems,
has been attempting to persuade some Of the
fair ladies' Of Shasta to place themselves under
his charge for the occasion, and has SO far
succeeded, as to induce "a dear, amiable
creature to intimate t.at-provided we give
bonds TO behave ourself like a good boy-she
will make us supremely happy Sc. Where
upon he coolly announces that We CD will
stand bondsmau for him.
Now, If we know ourself intimately, and
we think we do we have no idea Of doing
anything Of the kind. Not but what Dosh
is very clever fellow-oh, no! We rather
like Dosh; there are many excellent points
about him, and he is universally acknowledge
ed to be "a very nice young MANI We
would willingly do snyihing else for the
young gentleman-sueh as recommending
the Courier as the best country paper in Cal
iforna, and lis editor as one Of the spriehtli-
est writers in the State, an accomplished
gentleman, and all that sort Of thing But

Participators in an ahray at Negro Hill, Edo

comrade came to tLis place on Saturday
night, about II o'clock, and were on the

vertisement. That officer, on examining the
description, became satisfied that one of them
was Drew, and they Immediately arrested
him. lie confessed that he was the man. and
showed the Sheriff an account of the allray as
published in the papers, and the reward as
offered by the Governor; but he denied hav-

other person, answering the description OF
Tennissen, except as to his apparent age and
height, was soon after arrested, and gave his

Trinity County and its Mines.

We have no hesitation in saying that there
isno portion Of California that at the pres.
ent time, offers such natering prospects Of
succcss 10 the miner, the artisan. and the az
riculturalist as Trinity county She possesses
within her bounds all the resources necessary
for the support ofa large population. Profitable
employment can here be found for thousands
Of persons in all the different avocations Of fe
Her remoteness from the more thickly set
lied portion Of the State, has hitherto rctard-
cd her progress. Heretofore, bat little has
been known abroad Of her immense resour-
ccs and the numerous inducements she holds
out for the settlomont Of an entcrprising
people. But the public are beginning to un-
dcrstand and partially appreciate this portion
os the State. Tier miles Of rich and un-
touched fields Of gold, offer too tempting an
induccmcnt TO the cntcrprsing miner to be
longer neglected. There are miles on miles
Of country within tliS county that will rich
Iy repay the industrious miner for the labor
hc may bestow upon it. There is scarcely a
rpot within it's wide limits but will yield an
ample remuneration to him who will use a
proper degree Of industry and energy in his
search for her hidden wealth.
The whole length Of Trinity River will
pay more than fair wages. The miners a
long its banks are, without exception, doing
extremely well, and there are many miles Of
untouched earth along It's course, teemng
with the precious metal, awaiting the coming
Of the hardy sons Of toll who will ere long
seek for it, and not in vain Trinity River
alone can support and give profitable employ
ment to twenty thousand men. There is not
n stream that empties into this river, from
its source to its mouth, but offers equal facl-
itics to those who are willing to labor. The
hills, guches, and flats have already yielded
an untold amount Of wealth, and they are
continuing to yield even more richly than ev-
or. The improved methods Of mining which
have superseded the pan and the rocker have
enabled persons to work to tho.greatest 0dvan-
tage claims which a year or two ago were
looked upon as worthless, but which are now
yielding from ten to twenty dollars per day
IN tho man We will venture TO euv that
there is not county in the State where an
equal amount Of gold is taken out, in proper
ton to the population. There is room here
for thousands. Here, no man need be poor
or dlc---all lie needs is a strong arm, a stur-
dy heart, and perseverng industry, and
wealth is sure to be his reward.
Let then the papers in the cities urge upon
the large, unoccuped population, who are
wasting their energies and their time in the
idle hope Of better days and the vain pursuit
Of employment in the over crowded trades
and occupations Of the cities, 90 turn their
steps 70 this section Of tho State, whSfe they
may be sure of employ ment, and where no
man need want, who is willing to labor.

Miners Meeting.
VIM. M. Lowe,
Sheriff of Trinity County
WcGrer, April 81, 1855.

At a meeting of miners held on Sydney
Hill, April 2lst, 1855, b. W. Winston was
elected chairman, and l.. f. Wells, secretary
The object of the meeting, as stated by the
chairman, was to settle difficulty in relation
to piece Of ground claimed by DIR. Ware
for the purpose of building a Reservoir, and
by Dr. Cone and others for the purpose of
tunnelng.
Evidence was Introduced by DR.. Ware, to
prove that he was in possession of the ground,
and working on tke same, previous to the
other party.
The meeting decided that the ground in
dispute belonged to DR.. Ware.
The opposite party gave notice that they
appealed from the decision.
The following preamble and resolutions
were then adopted by the meeting;
Wh1eas, being Of the opinion that reser-
voirs are indispensable in the mining com
munity: therefore, it is by this meeting
RcSolUcd, lst. That the business of con-
veying water in bitches on to mining ground,
and preventing waste of water, by means Of
reservoirs, is an essential past of mining bus
mess, and as worthy of encouragement and
protection as any other branch Of mining.
ReSolred, ID That the first occupant Of
ground for mining purposes, whether by con-
veying water, saving water in reservoirs,
sluioing, washing or tunneling, is first in
right, and is entitled to the free use and cn>
joyment of whatever ground is necessary for
the prosecution of his business in profitable
manner.
Resolred, s. That any subsequent claim
ant shall, before disturbing, removing, or en-
tering upon any part Of the first occupants
structures, apparatus or ground, pay to such
first occupant, or deposit in safe hands for the
first occupants, security, an amount sufficient
to cover all damages such second occupant
may or shall cause.

GENERAL SUrrER.-On the first page Of
our paper will be found a full report Of the
eloquent speech delivered by the Hon. Geo.
Penn Johnston Of San Francisco, before the
Assembly, on the passage Of the bill, aPpro-
priating a suitable sum for the purchase of
the portrait Of Gen. John A. Sutter Mr..
Johnston has kindly furnished us with copy
Of his speech for publication; and our read
ers will doubtless agree with US in the OPT
Mon, that it is a beautiful and Just tribute to
the worth and services of this distinguished
pioneer, to whom California owes so much.
The well-known hospitality and unstinting
generosity OF this noble gentleman, are fami-
liar to us all His kindness to the unfortu-
nate, and his numerous services to thousands
who, in the earlier part of our history as
State, looked to him for assistance and relief,
have secnred to him place in the hearts Of
all who can appreciate true manliness and no.
bleness of character. California owes to him
a debt of gratitude that can never be can
celled. But we hope that no occasion will
ever be lost to show public respect to him
who has sacrificed so much for us.

Of mining, the size Of claims, as fixed under
our old regulations in many parts of this dis
trict, are too small for profitable working,
therefore,
Resoired, 4th. That from and after this
date, a tunnel claim shall consist of 60 feet
on each side Of the main tunnel or drain
ditch, and GO feet square at the head of the
ditch or tunnel.
Resolood, 9TH. That slucng claim shall
consist Of 80 feet square.
Resolred, 9th. That the proceedings of
this meeting be published in the Trinity
Times.
The meeting then adjourned.

The MISEs--Tnz MINEs.-Wo hear eve
ry day Of ''grcat strikes" being made and
new dggmgs discovered in all sections of the
county.
During the past week, rich and very ex-
tensiye diggings have been discovered on
Rush Greek, about seven miles from this
place, near the point where the trail from
Weaver to Yreka crosses the creek. Our
towns-man, Mr.. Collins, who discovered
them, Informs us that the dirt prospects fifty
cents to the pan, and that an abundance OF
water can be obtained for working the
ground. Rich dggings have also been dis
covered at various points between Rush
Creek and Ridgeyille. At Ridgeyille all the
miners who have opened their claims are do
ing remarkably well, aud there is every pros
pect chat these degings will long retain the
high reputation they have so rapidly aoquir-
ed We understand that within few days
diggings have been discovered on Slope
Creek-one Of the tributaries of Trinity Riv-
er,-about three miles north of Ridgevillc
which are paying ffty do liars day TO the
man. In fact, that whole section of country
is rich with the precious metal, and thou
sands of persons will ere long find profitable
employment there.
In the vicinity Of Weaveryile the miners
are doing as wen at present as ever they
have, since the mines were first opened.
Along the Trinity River the same eneour-
aging condition Of things exists. IL any
thing, the miners are making even better wa
ges than ever. As an evidence Of the value
Of these mines, we would state that during
the past week, over twenty individ uals have.
to our knowledge, left Trinity county for the
Atlantic States, having secured an lndepen-
donee from these richly yielding gold fields
some Of these individuals have only been
a few months in the county.

Mr. EDIToR-In your issue Of the 2lst
inst, notice statement which ] wish to
correct in some particulars. You state that
resigned my office few days since; and
on the same day was reapponted.' You
also say that my friends are anxious to know
the cause
Permit me TO say that the statement is, to
certain extent, incorrect. You could not
have examined the records in the County
Clerks Office, or you would have perceived
that my resignation was handed in on the
l4th Of March, and my appointment was
made on the 9th of April-nearly month
subsequent.
The reason and the cause Of my so doing |
will briefly state.--Numerous reports have
been in general circulation respecting the
county ofliccrs-reports which have had the
effect of rendering my bondsmen apparently
uneasy in regard to the nature of their res
possibility. My respect for those gentlemen,
and my own sense Of honor, indaced me to
relieve them from the heavy responsibility,
Of which they were so often reminded
Therefore, in order TO relieve my sureties
from all future liability or uneasiness on my
account, resigned the Office of Sheriff Of
Trinity County, and was subsequently reap
pointed, on filing new and approved bonds.
Respectfully Yours,

quantity Of goods TO satisfy the demand.

throughout the State for the division Of coun-
ties Are not the people already sufficiently

Indian Tradition. Times says;
'The Bay Indians have tradition that this
Bay was produced by an earthquake, which
swallowed up the land, and destroyed a
large and powerful tribe of Indians-only a
few cscaping-which statement is almost
corroborated by the evidences presented to
us, viz: trees buried to the depth of upwards
Of two hundred feet, and more palpabe proofs
