CARD TO THE PUBLIC. 4

On Saturday last, the l4th inst, the Trinity
Times ceased to exist. Understanding that there
are some who condemn the course have taken,
| deem the following explanation, to the FEW who
supported the Times, may be necessary;
When first came into possession OF the Times,
in June last, it was in sad condition. lmme-
diately made it Democratic; aud Democratic
princples il has continued to advocate while it
had existence. But the Democratic party have
not supported me ; nay, some of the most proml-
nent members Of that party threw every obstacle
in their power in my way to success Yet those
are the very men who now say that | have sold
the Democratic party. But, instead of my having
sold the party those who like to be considered
as the leaders of that party, have sold me- have
gained nothing by the party am under no OBJ
legations to any individual member of that party
the property was my OWN, and have satisfied
myself as to the disposition of it-l was tired of
working for glory C)-therefore do | not care a
continental for what any loud-mouthcd, petty pol
itician may say about the sale of the Trinity Times.

The Mines in and about Ridgeville.

RrDGEvnIE, March ID, 1887.
Editors Journal There has been much SAID
in favor of and against the mines of RidgeVllie
and vicinity. 1t is, we know, a matter OF great
interest to the people Of this county who Intend
to live here. to obtain correct information IN re-
ference to the mineral resources of lhe county
As to Ridgeville and vicinity the fact is that the
country has not yet been prospected. only hall
dozen gulches have been thoroughly worked
yielding daily from SIS to $40 per day to the
hand; but there are yet in this vicinity over
hundred gulches, where no trace can be found OF
having been prospected, and which would pay,
beyond doubt, if properly worked. AS iacts
speak more eloqucntly than words, | shall give
YOU brief record of the prospects and opera
tions of few companies in this quarter. Mr..
Edwards and his two partners, in two days last
wock made SG4 in new cut which they opened
in tbe riobt bank of Long Gulch. Jack Kem-
blem, a very intelligent and cnterprising miner,
struck lately very rich lead in the right bank of
Stroup's Creek Our friend Hutch by way of
prospecting, picked up four ounces in one day,
in his old claim in French Hill the only hill in
Ridpeyille where there has been any work done
as vet. | was shown last Sunday, by Mr.. Fred.
Leach, lump of gold weighing eight ounces and
one dollar. which was found last week in Noun
tain Gulch. Week before last, the same gentle
man dug up two more Jumps, weighing together
S5l. could mention few more companies do
ing equally well, but | presume the above will
show some Of the peculiar characteristics OF the
mineral region here | may say. in conclusion,
that there is vast tract, (forty-eight miles in
length) OF mineral land lying between Trinity
River and the Salmon which will afford work to
thirty thousand people for many years to come
Water may be had in nearly every locality from
Swift Creek Coffee Greek, &c. At the present
time there is scarcely one miner to the square
mile, which naturally reminds us of the words of
Christ to his disciples: The harvest truly is pen-
tcous, but the laborcrs are few In subsequent
| shall give you more accurate
account of that section Of country, the auriferous
wealth of which will astonish the explorer at
ome day not far distant. B. DEFTIS.

REV. FATHER FLoRIAN.--In another column will
be found the card of Father Florian, pastor of
the Catholic church of this place, to his congrc-
cation and friends The following brief para
graph of his life and travels may be agreeable
and interesting TO his numerous friends
p Floran was born A. D., 1909 at Innsbruck.
the capitol of Tyrol. and graduated at the Uni
versity of that place. In 1923 he joined the Or
der Of the Benedictines where he was occupied
partly in the ministry. partly as professor of the
Sacred Scriptures and the Oriental languages In
1914 he volunteered to labor among his Catholic
brethren in the United States. After his arrival
at New York he was stationed by Archbishop
Hughes at Utica, n Y, where he remained over
four years Then he was sent to Syracuse, in the
same State. After staying there one year his
health became impaired, and he was obliged to go
to New York. where he edited the NeW York Sion
during two years. After this he served half a
year in the Catholic congregation at Patterson,
n. j., where he accepted the invitation of Arch
bishop Alemany for California. Florian arrived
at San Francisco in August 1852, by the steamer
Golden Gate on that memorable trip in which the
passengers and u. S. troops suffered so much
from cholera. In the spring of 1853 he was sent
to Shasta and Wcaverville.

T Mining on Lower Trinity.

lTCEDAR FLAT, TRINITY RIVER, March IA, 1851
'Laaors Joumai I'VE receive the JOURNAL re-
gularly every week, through Captain Sawyer's
Express The Captain intends running weekly
to Iloopa Valley, which will be great convent
ence to us Lower Trinitarians. The mines in this
vicinity are paying very we'll Every person is
busily engaged and the chances for a prosperous
season look favorable. All the small gulches are
running fall of water and the weather delightful.
There is water facilities on nearly every bar that
pays good wages Edwards & Co., on Dickson 8
Bar, about one mile below this place. are making
from $40 to $50 per day to the man. There are
several other claims which are paying well this
| season. IN the vicinity of Horse Shoe Bend the
claims all pay we'll. There arc several companies
/ of Chinese below South Fork, and rs far down as
| IIoopa, working with sluiccs. | have not the
least idea how they are doing, but believe that
! they are satisfied and contcntcd in the diggings.
All the claims that have been worked and pros
pcctcd back into the Aats and bends have paid
remarkably well. A water ditch has been partly
completed one mile above here, by Don Juan,
who intends to try the utility of hydraulics. Don
Juan is thorough going, practical man, and
will, beyond doubt, succeed. His claim pays
the color from the surface down fifteen or twenty
feet, and then he strikes good dirt, which is about
six feet deep, and pays from five to twenty five
cents to the pan. Mcssrs, Mcrrick & Cornwall
are opening claim on the opposite side of the
river from this fiat, where it was thought, four
years ago, that the diggings were exhausted, but
where recent discoveries prove that there is rich
leads back in the hills, which get better the far
thcr they are worked.
Some pack trains have arrived within the last
few days from Union, Humboldt county, and re-
port the snow three feet deep on South Fork and
Redwood mountains. There is no scarcity of pro
visions here Messrs. Bowles q Coddngton have
large supplies on hand. In the vicinity of Burnt
Ranch, Improvements are going on in agricul-
ture, &c. v Yours, YrcHINKIvs.
