the other John) left for the Boise country.
Dacey told US on the road that he should be back
to Trinity next FALL as he has claim on New
river that he would not exchange for any in the
Boise country, but it cannot be worked now
account of Indians Bowden had claim near
Weavervile, which one week ago a thousand
dollars would not have purchased, but he 'took
the fever" and last Monday sold it for $500.
We verify believe that were diggings which pros
pected So to the pan being opened in the Weav-
ervllle basin, it would not have the effect OF
keeping those here who have made up their
minds to go. Strange infatuation.
THINNED Our-Passing up East Fork the 9TH
er day we found only three miners at work be-
tween Minersvlle and Jones, where scores of
men used to be constantly employed. The nor
thern excitements have taken most of them
Yet there is plenty OF good mining ground there
yet, but it will require more money and energy
to get water them than it will in the Boise
country.(? Greenhorn guch empties in the East
Fork at the upper end of Bowerman's ranch
1t pays largely when water can be had, but no
one seems to have enterprise enough to bring
ditch there, although it can be sasily done. Jake

of February has been bright, clear and beau
tiful day. Perhaps the shades of the heroes who
have died on the battle-fcds of Freedom make
pilgrimage to the land of Liberty on the annl-
versary OF the day that gave America Wash
ington and that the breath of their coming drives
away the storms. We hope it may be pleasant
next Monday.
TRINITY CENrER.-We received quite an addi-
ton to our subscription list at that place on a
late visit There is an indication of prosperity
not witnessed in many places in the county, al
though but little mining is done in the immedi-

Iy improving, and will continue to improve for
wears to come Some of the best farms in the
county are in Trinity valley. The population is
an industrious and law-abidng one and they are
worthy of prosperity
SICK NEIGHBoRHooD. Nearly one-half the pop
uation of Trinity Center has been sick with fe-

respected resident, and the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcdaniel. Mr.. Patterson leaves a wife in
the East, to whom he was married little more

RUSH CREEK.-Great scarcity of water in that
stream has prevented the miners from doing
much work yet. Some of the claims manage to
run three or four hours day. Happy Jacks
company are piping down the bank in front of
Lappdon's s old place. and several companies
at work lower down. Langdon, higher up on
the opposite side of the creek, has done but lit
tie work yet.
MIyERsvILLE looks rather dull and deserted

mer, and few have gone this season. But Pat
Griffin, Fred Leach and Tourtlette remain TO do
the business for those that are left. Several
