Stewards Fork Ditch.

The readers of the Journal were informed a
short time since of the fling of the certificate of
Incorporation of "The Trinity Water, Lumber
and Mining Company" The objects of this
company are to bring the waters of Stewards
fork of Trinity river into Weaver basin and upon
Oregon gulch mountain, and to carry a portion
of said waters. by branch ditch starting from
the main canal on the Rush creek divide, and
running along the eastern slope of that ridge, to
Buckeye and Bolts hill. The company now
fully organized, and Richard Clifford, Henry
Hooker and c. E. Williams are the trustees who
will manage the business of the company for the
first three months. The capital stock of the
company is $3.50 900, divided into $500 shares,
of Sl0O each. Five hundred shares are reserved
from sale by subscription and are left in the
hands of the trustees, to be disposed of by them
in such manner and at such time as they may
think proper for the interests of the company.
The other two thousand shares are for sale by
subscription; seventy-fve per cent of which is
the full estimated cost of constructing the works.
The articles of subscription further provide that
the subscribers will pay the company, in gold
coin, seventy-hve cents on the dollar of the par
value of each share subscribed for by them, in
FIVE installments of fifteen dollars each the first
installment being payable at the time Of SUBJ
scribing, and the other four within forty days
from the first publication of notice calling for
payment of the same. The trustees can call in
but one installmcnt at time. Should the sub
sc:ibers make default in payment of an INSTALL
ment, the trustees are authorized to recind the
contract apd sell the defaulting shares to any
one else who will pay the installments due and
to become due thereon.
Of the importance of this work it is unneces-
sary now TO speak, as all admit that its construc-
tion would bring large additions to our population
and permanent prosperity to county. The
articles of subscription have been prepared, and
the books opened, and a number of shares al
ready taken. Messrs. Wattles and Jones have
been authorized by the trustees to solicit sub
scrptions for the stock from the citizens of this
county and to receive and receipt for the first
installment thereon. The energy, integrity and
well-known business capacity of the trustees will
assure the subscribers for this stock that the
money paid in by them will be honestly applied
to the work ; and the people of this county ought
to render this company such substantial aid as
will convince capitalists outside that the construc-
tion of this work will be paying investment.
The books are opened for subscriptions to
the stock, and every person who desires to ad-
vance the material interests of this county, and
every -one who desires to develope and utilize the
wealth hid away in our mountains and streams
and to make it contribute to the prosperity and
happiness of the people, should not fail to SUBJ
scribe and pay something in aid OF this long
talked-of and much-desired enterprise. nv

There was quite hutter among the

OF one Emily MILFORD, the keeper OF

principal witness In the case was one
Anna Brazil. Her testimony was very
exact and conclusive, and as a conse.
quence madam MILFORD was mulcted In
the sum of$25 There was an order made
for her committal 20 the caIaboose during
a period Of thirty.one days, but before It
was enforced madam paid q portion Of
the fine and secured the balance.
The inmates, Ann Hurd, Emma Jones
aud Annie Butte were fined $40 and costs
each. Ann Hurd paid the levy against
her, but the others were committed to
the calaboose fora period of sixteen days.
Madam MILFORD waxed exceedingly
wroth. She was an abused and perse-
cuted woman; and she wouldn't stand
it. In badly disguised spirit Of resent
ment she made affidavit that Anna
Brazil, the principal witness against her,
was guilty Of the same offence that had
been charged upon her that, In 9th or
words, the said Anna Brazil kept the
the lowest kind Of brothel. When the
trial thus instituted came on, all the proof
Madam MILFORD could produce was that
steam -boatmen had said that Anna
Brazil kept bad house, and that she,
the deponent, had seen gentlemen visit

ton owed its paternity TO the malice of

Brazil was discharged, much TO the cha
grin and disgust Of the aforesaid, who
vehemently declared that there is no such
