Flser fever, our out-of-the-way neighbor-
Egs along in the usual even tenor of its

ug did not assume an epidemic form in our
nmun;ty, having carried of but three
within radii of six miles. Had the
river mines proved half as rich as re-
the benefit resulting to California would

profitable drones,-I mean no reflection upon
the many good and deserving citizens who un-
fortunately were smitten with the malaria of
Misrepresentation and fraud.
The miners in and about Ridgevile are at
present doing only moderately well, but have
no doubt there will be some good strikes made
during fhe coming month, as much enterprise is
being exhibited in opening claims. The East
Fork Of Trinity, for some two or three miles
above Bates Ranch, has all been taken up, aud
smany companies are now busy turning the
stream-all in good spirits and high hopes of
doing we'll The only company who have got
in1Burns, Carroll & Co.-are making six and
seven dollars per day to the hand.
By the way, we were in WeaveryilIe on the
day the Democratic Convention met The only
nomination that created any interest was that of
County Judge,-Judge Miller and Justice Jones
being the aspirants, and each having many warm
personal friends, made the contest for the nomi-
nation quite spirited. Judge Miller won by
seven majority. He has occupied the County
Judgship for the past four years, and is esteem
ed fair and impartial Judge, and we know him
to be a high-toned and clever gentleman. The
defeated candidate, Justice Jones, is young
man of talent and the future is sure to bring
him success and honor. There was no effort
made on the part of the aspirants for the As
sembly for the nomination in fact when it was
known that Mr.. Bates would permit his name to
be used for the position, Messrs. Peltreau and
Lawrence only permitted their names to go be-
fore the Convention to receive complimentary
vote from their personal friends Forydice
Bates was nominated Assemblyman on the first
ballot. He is warm Administration Democrat,
and sure to be elected
Trinity county at present rejoices in four dis
tinct party nizations-Democratc, Inde-
Rendent Miners, American and Black Republi-
can. There is fusion talked of between the
three last named parties, but our opinion is that
there are too many incongruous elements among
them for harmonious union. We shall see.
Have you any yellow jackets in your good
town Of Shasta? Jehosophat! the like was
''never hearn tell ON afore' up here. Septem-
tillians only give you a faint idea of their nu-
merical force. We made a cup of tea the other
night, and in miners style boiled the old grounds
a,d added little tea when drinking, we i'm
agined queer taste, and concluded to over
hlul our teapot; result-two table spoonsful of
TIA and one pint yellow jackets. Ugh we cave
OF yellow jacket tea. Perhaps, Messrs. Editors,
fom your proficiency in Digger lingo, you
night CLEAN from some great medicine man the
portend of this unusual swarming of these little
yellow birds EcyERwAL
