"Whitworth Battery"
Loyal Americans in Europe

The cannon is eight feet long, and loads at the
breech. The company In whose charge the guns
are TO be placed will need considerable practice
to become familiar with the new process Of load

to be performed by them will be warranted, es.

New River Trail,

The people of New River are struggling TO
open trail sufficiently commodious to facilitate
travel and transportation of goods from the mouth
of Rattlesnake to the Fast Fork of Poney Greek.
The making of this piece of road will open direct
communication between Weaverville and the
New River district. This is certainly matter
of great Importance TO our town, and particularly
to business men. The people of that section
have done much toward marking out and locat-
ing the line of road and il is the wish of miners,
traders and packers, in the locality OF New River
to turn the trade to Weaver, instead OF continuing
IL as at present to Humboldt. The above-named
scope of country lies within this county, and the
trade legitimately belongs to Weaver as the
nearest distributing depot.
Our merchants and all other business men
should look at this matter in the proper light
To secure trade of so much Importance as that
of New River, or even to secure for this county
one half the trade, through the contribution of a
few dollars toward aiding the enterprise, would
undoubtedly be an investment which would re-
suit much to the advantage of those doing bust
ness and those holding property at the county
seat
From the various rumors and authenticated
reports we have of the prospects OF the algglngs
on New River and its tributaries, we age inclined
to the belief that there will not he less than four
or five hundred men mining there, eventually
Suppose we count on only three hundred and
allow that each consumer will not average more
! than $500 per year, as the cost for the combined
articles of consumption, this alone would give
an additional trade TO our county of nearly
| 100000 per annum.
We ask all business men TO give this subject
! the consideration and attention it merits. We
| are anxious to assist the mining community o
! the above isolated region, and at the same time
advance the interests of Weaverville by increas
ing the trade. The distance from the mouth o
! Rattlesnake to the East Fork of New River and
! Poney Creek is twelve miles The road overseeI
| of that district, Mr.. Wilson, has used every means
n his power to obtain the amount necessary tC
complete the road, aud will 60 on with the work
if the people of Weaveryile will do something
toward the undertaking. The whole distance by
| the new trail, from the central mining locality
on New River, to Weavervlle, will be some
thirty or forty miles less than the route from the
former place to Humboldt to say nothing of the
| risk incurred in passing through the Indian
country on the coast route.
We have delayed the notice of this project IN
til this issue in order to learn the particulars
and the prac cticability of making the road. Out
town people would think nothing of giving to a
one horse circus double the amount they are ex-
pee ted to give for the purpose of having this
trail finished, which will be certain to pay back
good returns for the money paid by our citizens
The subscription list for tue purpose OF aiding
the work is in the hands of some Of our citizens
and we hope that due effort will be made TO- aid
in the completion of the work.

"DoUGLAs CRY GAZETTE We have received
the first number of Mr. Jones paper the Gazette
1t is gotten up in good style, looks very neat, is
well edited and contains good amount of read
ing matter. In regard to the course the paper
will pursue in political matters, we will give an
extract from Mr.. Jones' Introductory:
While the Gazefte will advOcate the principles
of no political party, whatever, it will at the
same time maintain an Independent position upon
all subjects of that kind, both National and local.
We make but one exception to this-we are for
the Union as it now is in any contingency which
may arise. Believing at the same time that all
questions of that character should be thoroughly
understood our columns shall be kept open to all
for that purpose. but at the same time, we desire
and shall insist that all communications shall he
to the point, be temperate in tone, aud not often
sive in the language used. We abhor the slang
phrases of the day, and hope we may never see
one of them in our columns.
The proprietor promises to do all in his power
to make his paper interesting and deserving o
support, and in conclusion says;
1t is hardly necessary for us to say. that oul
best efforts will be given to advance the Interests
of both our town and county We can do this will
the more ZEAL as it is our sincere belief that NJ
better place exists in California, for the invest
ment of both capital and labor than is offered
on Trinity River and its branches. If it were
to bolster up the falling fortunes of some hal
deserted mining camp, we should never put per
to paper, nor take type from the case. We
have been miner too long, to assist in deceiying
the miners now.
