the time of leaving constantly before the people
OF this remote section.
MORE THAN CORRECT.-At the last session Of
the Board of Supervisors an order was made di-
Iecting Jno. p Jones to make an examination of
the County Treasurers' books for the past three
years, and report at the next session of the Board.
In the absence of Mr. Jones the examination has
been made by Mr.. Angus Mcneil, a thorough
accountant, who reports the accounts of the late
County Treasurer correct in every particular, so
much so that a small balance,is probably due
that officer from the county. 1t is a source Of
satisfaction to know that the money affairs Of the
county are so correctly kept.
BECOME A LAw.-The bill providing for pay
ment of the officer in charge of the Jail in this
county has passed both branches of the Legisa.
ture. It will undoubtedly receive the Governors
approval at least it should, as no officer should
be expected to discharge the duties OF jaior with
out remuneration.
GONE TO FRAsER.-Richard Falshaw, of Little
York, Nevada county, asks through the Sacra-
mento Union for information Of Wm Hesletne,
and says he was last heard from on Trinity river.
We will give Mr.. Falshaw all the information we
the summer of 1885, sometime during which he
got the Fraser river fever, and went there. Du-
ring the succeeding year frequent intelligence of
him was received here, and we believe when last
heard from on Thompson river. Do any Of
his old friends on Trinity know where he is now

CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURED MATCHEs.-J. r.
Haviland q Co.. Sacramento, have established
percussion match mandatory in that city, where
they are manufacturing superior article, which
neither time nor dampness will affect. We have

about loco matches-have tried them well and
find them as good as represented in every respect

MINING ABOUT DOUGLAS CTY.-We are in
formed that the miners on Smiths Flat, on the
opposite side of The river, are doing uncommonly
well. Through the winter times were very dali
in that section, and those opening claims feared
there would not be water enough to enable them
to pay expenses However, there is plenty OF
water to be had now, and out of some twenty
claims there are but one or two which are not
paying large wages--fIom 81 to $50 per day, to
The hand-and everybody in high spirits
UNP4RALLELED.-The Sacramento daily Union
Of Monday, April I'd, was printed on double
sheet, and contained 40 columns of interesting
reading matter-Legisati proceedings, recent
ly enacted Laws, late Overland intelligence, a
general summary of California news, besides
great variety Of interesting and instructive mis-
cellaneous matter. No better paper than the
Sacramento IHion can be produced in California,
aud from the large number Of both the daily and
weekly edition taken here, we are led TO think
that the people OF Trinity duly appreciate its
excellence
The MlAEs-Cheering reports are coming in
from every section. We hear almost daily of
newly discovered dggngs, occasionally see pie
ces Of quartz specked with gold, found in the
county, ana expect to see more before long. The
late storm was welcome visitation to miners
barring those engaged in drift dggings. The
mining season will be good one yet
LEwIsroN.-Pcople there are busy and pros
porous. The new hill diggings are as rich as
represented, judging from the prices at which
claims are held. One company on the hill lately
offered to sell for 81, 900 or give $4,000. All the
water in Nunnally's Rush Creek ditch is used
now. lioadley is making lumber at S45 thou

LOUD TALK" Eyewitness of Eureka, Hum
boldt Bay, lately wrote something to the San
Francisco bulletin which the Times pronounces a
"wiliul, malicious, malignant and contemplate
lie" That is sufficiently plain, we should say.
