LUCKY FELLow.-Billy McCarty, a formerly
well-known resident of Trinity county, but re-
siding of late at Rhonersville, Humboldt county,
recently fell heir by the death of cousin to the
snug sum of $l5, 900. He has gone to the States
to handle the money We call this drawing a
prize in the lottery of fate.
FRoM the Chico Enterprise we learn that our
former African resident, Richard Stokes, has
lately had a law suit at that place, and as usual,
lost his case. If some one would serve him the
way McWhorter did, at Northfork, the people OF
Chico, would be saved a great deal of trouble on
his account
| QUARTZ IN THIS CoUNTY.-A well.informed
and practicable quartz miner lately came to this
county from below and is now looking around
for quartz, He says there must be paying rock
here, because of the immense quantity of gold
we have taken out. Old Trinity will loom up
yet.
| Our thanks are due to Mr.. Beach Bates for a
lot of the finest ounces we ever saw. We are
not given to finding fault with the world as it is
On the contrary, the way it wags suits us first
rate. Nevertheless, few more like Beach
would better things; that's our opinion.
THE drawing of the Mercantile Library Gift
Concert will certainly come off next Monday
We will endeavor to make arrangements so that
our readers will be informed of the lucky num-
bers at the earliest possible moment. Hope you
will all win.
