New AxD EXTENSIVE MINING REGIoS.-Amos
7. Smith. of Trinity river, informs us that the
dggngs discovered about year ago in the hills
lying between Manzanita creek and his ranch on
the south side of the river promise to prove both
extensive and rich Sid. Currie has his claim
faily opened and those we have talked with from
that section consider it the best paying claim
being worked in Trinity county to-day. CT the
actual yield we can learn nothing; miners are
not so ready to let the world know exactly how
much they taking out As in days Of yore.
However, know enough to satisfy Us that a
range of rich diggings which viii last for many
years, exists in that section. Mr.. Smith has
been engaged for several months in digging
ditch from Deer creek to cover the new mines,
taking the water from that stream mile higher
up than formerly, II the second range of hills
proves rch this water can also be made service
able. and it lasts the whole summer. The claim
which Uncle Billy kirkham opened last winter
ia the hill beyond Smiths house, he is now
altered $500 Tor. but he says it is worth 81 900.
He will sell it for that from the fact tina
he has other claims at the mouth of New river,
to which he proposes turning his personal atten-
ton. II the Indian Sc0urgc has been finally
nbated the lower Trinity country will present Il
very different aspect from what It does now one
year hence.

Lower TRINITY MIxEs-We hear of quite a
number of persons who propose locating on
Trinity river between Taylors Flat and the
mouth of New river as soon as they are satisfied
that the Indians will be kept on the new Gov
ernmcnt Reservation. Plenty OF good mines are
known to exist in localtie, which have been
worked heretofore, and new discoveries have
made during the past year. One OF Company
Tis men tells us that while cncampcd near Burnt
Ranch the soldiers did considerable prospecting
in bars and benches which had never been touch
ed with a pick. and that prospects were obtained
which would have induced them to 60 70 work
forthwith if they were not held by Uncle sam s
contract That the Cinnamon know there are
good dggings down that way is proved in the
fact that one Wcavervilie Company is ready
to send hundred men to lower Trinity a soon
as they are assured that obey will not be further
pestered by indians.
TUE IxpIAX EXopUs.-SoBc three hundred In
dams have been gathered up ami taken from this
that duty They have been removed to the Res
eryation at IIoopa Valley, established by Nr.
Wiley, present Indian Agent at a great expense
to Government Now we shall see whether our
people are finally rid of the redskins. Many
who are interested predict to the contrary. but
if the Government officers having charge of the
Reservation do their duty. the Indians can be
kept there. The Pacific Reservations. and clc
officers in charge of them, have been terri bic
nuisance for the past ten years. There i no
reason why the Indians cannot be kept the
Reservation. in our opnonthat is ii their guar
dians eyince disposition and viii to keep them
there.
HUMBOLDT MAIL RoUrE.-Whcn is the Hum
boldt mail route to be opened The people of
both this and Humboldt county are anxious to
know, as it is matter of vital importance to
both. Mr. Denny, the last contractor, has thrown
up his bargain with the Government after draw
ing pay for nearly a year without performing
anv service The route is safe now, winter will
soon be over. and is to be hoped that active
measures will be taken in the proper quarters to
see that the contract be renewed in MARCH. Fort
CASTOR nearly midway between this place and
Humboldt BAY, will now be a permanent Gov
crnment post, while in this county there are
three Post Offices deprived OF the benefits
of mail service. VIII Indian Superintendent
Wiley, and our Representatives at Washington
devote Il little attention to this matter?
The EyD.-This number completes the Ninth
Year of the TRINITY Journal. We would again
suggest that it is good time for delnquents to
settle pp and take new start and also As the
next Number commences year those de-
string to subscribe should commence with it.
APPoIyrxESr.-Capt f. A. Kelton, Federal
Assessor tor Trinity. has received the appoint
ment of Inspector of Cigars for this county, from
