STARTLING ScENE.-There was a lively time
at junction City one night last week at least
we have been told so. Scbastopol is generally
known in this county and he is anoted character
from the fact that be played desperate part in
the taking of the Malakof and Redan thus as
sistng at the fall of Sebastopol hence his appel
lation. He now travels through the country
giving bagpipe entertainments and afterwards
railing off jewelry. In the exercise of his voca
ton he reached Junction City at the time We
have mentioned. After the rattle was over the
boys started in to have good time, and brisk
demand sprung up for straights, cocktails, tod
dies, etc. The fun became fast and furious ;
jokes flew around and the place was a perfect
bedlam for noise. Among the crowd was an in
diyidual who although he drank moderately,
made more noise than anybody. This attracted
attention to him, and his boon companions be-
tween drinks, urged him with ego in Lemons >"
that's your sort" ''everything goes" and sim
liar jolly aud encouraging remarks Our noisy
individual responded with such tremendous up
roarand violent demonstrations that his drunkest
associates realized his situation. The man had
gone crazy, and his comrades could see it in the
glare of his eye. Now he drummed upon a hot
stove with his naked fist next he breathed MUIR
derous threats against his best friends and man
kind in general; sghs, sobs, tears aud impreca-
tons, laughter and prayeN Inconsistent and in
coherent fall rapidly from his lips. In self pro-
lection he is bound and placed under guard.
Further than what we have related we have
heard nothing. Perhaps the spasm was but
temporary one, if not, we and our readers will
hear more about it.

hear more about it.

MINES AND MINING.-From all sections of this
county we learn that the miners are well pre-
pared for work and that they only await the
coming Of water. Owing to the exceeding dry
ness of the past two Winters, our miners have
had plenty of time to rig their claims in the best
possible shape for work and they have not been
idle. In former years we have always been
greeted by the cry from some of the miners that
they hoped the rains would hold Off few weeks
in order to give them time to get ready for work,
but now we hear nothing of the kind. All are
prepared and with the first freshet there will
not be an idle man in the county. There have
been more improvements made in the way of hy-
droulics, new fumes, bitches, etc, during the
past Summer than for several years previous,
and we can safely say that when water does come
it will not be long before money is again plenty

GoING.-Mrs. NJ. G. Thomas, for many years
well-known lady-resident of our town, leaves
next Tuesday morning for Gilroy where she
expects to locate with her sister. Many regrets
have been expressed at her leaving, and the best
wishes of her many friends accompany her to
her new home.

CHoIcE GROCERIES AT HocKER s-lIocker ad-
yertises a number of articles this week Among
other things he offers for sale Borden's condensed
milk. This article has been in use for several
years and its popularity increases. In this
county it seems to us it ought to meet with a
ready sale. A large part of our population can
not get milk at all, and the rest of us find it an
expensive article. We can't say anything about
the comparative cost, but if what we are told
about this article is true, no one who likes milk
in his coffee need go without it. See advertise
ment elsewhere.

"OH DEAR what will become of us ~ is
the exclamation of some of our miners who are
anxiously awaiting big storm. Never mind
boys, " it won't make much difference one hun
years hence"

CAN'T Do IT.-We have received propositions
from at least fifty leading papers of this country
offering to make arrangements to club with the
Journal. But we do not propose to do any
thing of the kind. The JOURNAL has always
been acceptable to its patrons for the good it
contained within itself and we do not crave the
assistance of other papers to help us along.
This reminds us that we will enter upon a new
volume in a few weeks, and it is now a splendid
Hme for our subscribers to settle up before the

this week with a spell of weather. The win
dows of heaven were opened two or three times
but no deluge came. Part of the time an UNI
brella was handy to have around, leaky boots
were at discount. Aside from the ground
being little soft under foot, and a slight fall of
snow on old " BalIy," the storms of the week
were no "great shakes" So far as our desires
for enough water for mining purposes is con-
cerned it is plain case of hope deferred.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIzATIoN.-Ihe members
of the State Board of Equalization are now tray
cling over the State to ascertain personally the
condition Of the different counties and the man.
ner in which they were assessed heretofore ME-
Smith, a member of the Board, and Mr.. Maslin,
Clerk of the Board visited our county last week
In conversation with Mr.. Smith, we obtained the
following interesting facts: Heretofore, the
State has been very unequally assessed, in some
counties as low as from five to eight per cent. on
the amount of taxable property. This is more
particularly the case in the southern part of the
State in the assessment of large tracts of land.
The highest rate of assessment prevails north of
Sacramento, and particularly in the mountain
counties. The object the Board have in view is
to fix a rate of assessment for the ensuing year
and get all the property in the State assessed ac-
rordinp to that rate 1t is their opinion that,
with an honest assessment, the State tax need
not be more than twenty-five cents on the hun
dred dollars, and perhaps even less than that.
AS the rate of taxation for the coming year was
established by the last Legislature, the Board
will direct the Assessors throughout the State
TO assess at less than cash value, probably at
forty per cent The exact ratio, however, they
cannot determine until they have visited all the
counties. To us, over-burdcned as we are with
debt, it is of the highest Importance that we are
not required to pay more than our share towards
supporting the State Government. That we
have been doing this is manifest. We are not in
a situation to contribute towards making good
the deficiency occasioned by unfaithfu officers
in other parts of the State. If the State Board
of Equalization succeeds in carrying out the pur-
pose for which it was established, we, of Trinity
county, will be largely the gamers.

PRIVATE SCHOOL was opened this week by
Miss Villa Harvey. Upwards of forty scholars
are in attendance.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1870-12-03

In Coop SHAPE.-We paid visit this week to
the mining claim of Carson, Hansen & Goering,
and were forciby impressed with the very thor
ough manner in which they have their claim
prepared for the Winter. The bulkhead, Of
which we made mention n while ago, is COM
peted, and will carry all the waters of the creek.
Their flume passes under the bulkhead and an
ingeniously constructed gate admits the neces-
sary quantity of water and no more. The gen
tlemen mentioned have expended great deal of
labor and money in putting their claim into its
present shape. The diggings are in the bed of
Weaver creek, and unless the water could be
kept out must inevitably be flooded and filed up
or the hume carried off. The owners have
shown what hard work, combined with pract-
cal knowledge of mining, can accomplish.

THE proposed Singing School, at this place.

enough scholars could not be had to justify Mr.

STILL MPRovING.-Mr. Chas. Thomas still
keeps at work on his Theater. He has lately
taken the wooden braces out of the building and
replaced them with iron ones. By this precau-
ton, all danger of the walls of the building
spreading apart is obviated As an example
of private enterprise, we don't think this build
ing can be beaten. Mr.. Thomas began its con-
struction in 1867 with but nine dollars for a
starter. Through his unremittng exertons,
Weaveryille now boasts of as fine hall as any
other town of similar size in the State. Wen
bet high that Charley will fix up more yet

HURRAH Our public spirited friend, Mr.,

is to be transformed into a skating rink, and
Weavervie is to follow the lead of San Fran
cisco and go wild with excitement over the
great performances which about to take
place by means of this popular mode of ocomo-
ton. The days of veocipedng are to reap
pear, and old and young are to amuse them
selves with this last invention. OF course, as it
is fashionable the ladies will all be expected to
take hand and show their agility. Heads are
to be bumped and clothes torn. Court -plaisters
and patches will raise in price according to de-
mand. But we can stand all that. We are
bound to skate, and if we cannot have ice to
skate on, we will do the next best thing-that is
20 to Thomas Theater and take a turn on the
parlor skates No better exercise than this can
be had it is fashionable and popular in the cit
les with ladies as well gentlemen. We have
a good hail. and will soon have the skates, and
if our people don't turn out and have some good
sociablc times it will be their own fault, and
they will be out just that much.

H~ The Eastern mail has not
failed to. fail for several successive
failures. To send it across the
swamp is impossible, and to send
it up the river is incompatible
with the public interests, the De-
partment having discovered, at
ter nearly five years of gratuitous
mail service by the river and no
failures, that the swamp route is
preferable at good pay and all
failures. The Department., in our
opinion is correct; the less we hear
from it the better. The only reas-
on we have for wishing the North
Louisiana & Texas Railroad may
never be reconstructed, is that it
will bring us into communication
with the Post-office Department
at Washington; but it is some
consolation to know that at the
rate of progress made by the
Railroad Company in the past,
nearly four years must elapse be-
fore tho road gets through, and
by that time a Democrat will be
at the head of affairs. But four
years is a pretty smart spell to
wait for letter.
