IMPORTANT TO MINERs-Mr. Hodge, the gentle
man who some time since discovered that ,ne
drift sand on the American river and the reu u.i'
of the hills of this vicinity would pay wen ior
working, has arrived here with his patent ANAL
gamator, which will be placed in position al
Quigley's steam works, for the purpose OF testing
its adaptability to work the gold-bearing art IN
this vicinity. The gentleman has no doubt OF
the entire success of his invention creating
revolution in mining operations in this neighnor-
hood not long since he tried tun OF red DIRT
at San Francisco with his amalgamator, and re-
allied from it the sum Of sixty dollars lAere
millions of tuns of the same dirt III tins VI
cnity. The profit and feasibility of the gentle
mans invention, however, will shortly be deter
mined. The machinery will be in position and
in running order in about ten days, as we are
informed, when we shall endeayor to give de-
scription of this new system of mining.-Fotsom
Telegraph.
If the invention of Mr.. Hodge proves success,
a wonderful revolution in mining operations will
be created all over California. The patent right
for the use of his amagamator in Trinity county
alone would be equivalent to a thousand fortunes.
If there are millions of of dirt in the vicin
ity of Folsom which will pay sixty dollars to the
tun with the assistance of Hodge amalgamator,
there are hundreds of millions in the vicinity of
every mining camp in Trinity county. This is
one of the improvements in mining operations
which has long been dreamed of and hoped for,
and which alone is desired to develop the i'm
mense wealth of the placer mines of California.
We are anxious to read andi present to our min
ing population description of this new gold
saving process. If success, it will undoubtedly
be within the reach of all, and will result in the
saving of millions in fine gold which heretofore
has been wasted in the old accustomed modes of
mining Such discovery would be a source of
immense wealth if brought to bear in such local
tiles as Sidney Gulch, Rich Gulch, Weaver
Creek, Oregon Gulch, and in fact everywhere
that rich placer diggngs have been worked and
the fine gold lost for the want Of such a saving
process. As soon as published our readers shall
have a description of it.

FROM TRINITY VISEyARD.-Dr. Ware has sent
us present of samples of beautiful grapes
grown in his vineyard on Sydney Hill. One
cluster weighing nearly three pounds, is of the
~ White Muscat of Alexandria variety, and an
other, weighing trihe less of the " Black Ham
burg" The fruit of the Muscat is uniform,
being about the size of a pigeons egg. The
Doctor has large number of vines in full bear
ing, embracing some eighty varieties many of
which are now fully matured and ready for the
table or wine press. We read glowing descrp-
tions of the samples of grapes on exhibition at
the State Fair, but firmly believe that as fine
ones may be grown in the valleys and on the
hill-sides of Trinity, although a general thing
they do not mature and ripen quite as early as
in the warmer localities of the central and south
ern portion of the State.

TRINITY CoAL.-Alex. Tinsley has delivered us
sack of the stone coal taken from Currie's clam
at Cox Bar. This coal has been tested both for
blacksmithing purposes and for stove use, and
proved to be an excellent article. We are told
that recent prospects have been made on the vein,
and that it is discovered to increase in size very
rapidly Several tuns of the article have alrea-

A CHANCE TO SPEcULArE.-C H. Henev. a
Eureka Humboldt county, merchant, offers for
sale his entire interest in oil claims comprisino
100 shares in Humboldt Butte Company, claim
of 100 acres in same district, two shares in Oil
Creek Company, and two claims in Shelter Cove
District. We advise the proprietor to withdraw
that adv, as it leads people at distance to be-
lieye that the Humboldters themselves are losing
faith in oil operations.

REVERSING THE ORDER OF THISGs.-Some really
entertaining incidents have been observable du-
ring the recent arrangement of postal affairs in
this section. For instance, on Sunday week a
number of Red Bluff freight teams arrived,
Dad" Van Wrinkle, among the others, bringing
Greenhood Newbauer's express bag and mail
matter, two and half days from the Tower
House ! Heretofore it has not been unusual for
fast travelling vehicles passing the Weaver
Vile and Shasta road on alternate days with the
stage to bring the express matter, but to receive
it by slow freight " clipper" was considered a
good joke. On Wednesday night the Humboldt
mail brought us the eastern letters which arrived
by the steamer over a fortnight since. In times
past it has been customary for Humboldt people
to receive their mail matter more expeditiously
by having it forwarded ria Weaveryile than by
steamer, and we rather enjoy this instance of
returning the compliment, as for three weeks
mail matter has come with great regularity
while it did not by the old accustomed route.

GONE FOR GooD.-The Humboldt Times an
nounces the arrival there of E. A. Littlefeld and
Wm NJ Turner, late proprietors of the Klamath
News. Both gentlemen are leaving Klamath
county to locate elsewhere. During the late
canvass they published vigorous little Union
campaign sheet entitled Facts and Figures. and II
is believed that the result of the election in that
county was so far removed from the {" figures y
as they put them up that they have left
Klamath in disgust.

The New Court House.

The county, through its agents, the Board of
Superyisors has closed contract with Henry
Hooker for his splendid two-story brick building
at the head of Main street, paying $4,000 in Uni
ted States gold coin therefor. 1t has long seemed
matter of urgent necessity that the county
records and archives should be transferred to
safer quarters than the old Court House building,
and it will be matter of congratulation to all
interested in the county welfare to know that
such transfer will be made. Some of the
county officers have already moved to the quar-
ters assigned them by Supervisor Davidson, who
has been deputed by the Board to supervise the
fitting up and re-modeling necessary to prepare
it for county purposes. The building is 45x6O
feet, two stories high, and contains two large
basement rooms As we are informed, the plan
of the new Court House will be as follows
Basement-West room for Jail, and east room for
armory of Halleck Rifles First hoor-West
front room for Sheriff s office, with court room
in rear east front room for Clerks office, and
jury room in rear. Second story-District At
torney's, Treasurer's and Assessors Offices in
offices in rear. When finished and fitted up as
designed it will be one of the most convenient,
substantial and handsome county buildings in
the State In fact, the building contains more
room by far than is required for county purposes,
| if economically apportoned. We are of opinion
that it would have been better to have taken out
the petitions separating the back rooms in the
second story, making court room of the whole,
while the Sheriff. Clerk and other officers
could have occupied the front rooms. In this
manner one of the handsome rooms the street
| fiocr would have been saved, and could easily
have been rented for some suitable purpose.
However, the officers will feel the satisfaction of
being safely and comfortably located when fairly
settled in their new quarters.
! What disposition the county will make of the
old Court House is not yet determined The
upper story is owned and occupied by the Masonic
| fraternity, and it will probably remain there.
| The building is considered perfectly secure, for
il was built in early times when buildings were
erected in a rough but substantial, if not orna-
mental manner. 1t is proposed that the county
donate it for school purposes, which we believe
TO be good idea-the lower story to be occupied
by the primary, the second by the Grammar de-
partment
As to the old jail, sarcastic friend suggests
that it be torn down, and that on the spot q
monument be erected to the architect who de-
signed it. We should much prefer to see raised
in its stead monument to Lincoln or to the no
BILE soldiers who have fallen in battle the nee
essary means to be raised by subscription. Such
tributes are the order of the day now. At all
events. Norcross intends to take limited num-
Der of photographs of the old jail before it is
demolished

er-not enough to do material benefit or injury.

having extinguished the numerous mountain
