The editor Of the jamestown journal is
inclined to doubt the. truth of the statement
made by US that the big well on the Da lzell
farm was pumping 800 barrels per day. As
he probably never saw an oil well, and un-
derstands nothing about the oil business, he
is eX cusube.

A WAIL.-If ever a mortal meets with greater
share of punishment, in this world, than is his
due, it is the man who has to gather local items
in a town as dull as Weaverville is at present.
We rack our brains we search official records
and pump our friends until we are ashamed of
ourselves, land what would make us ashamed
would make horse leave his OATS and when,
after long time, we have succeeded in obtain
ing few notes, we have to fix them up in some
kind of shape. This part of the task is equally
as arduous the first. 1t is hard to say any
thing but what somebody will take exceptions to,
but an editor must please everybody. Very well.
We get our items written up and, after many
erasures and interineatons, we conclude that
our local column will furnish news to some and
that we have offended none. But what is our
surprise, the next day after we have issued, to
find that great portion of our news is old the
new baby which we announced is already cutting
teeth !; the man whom we reported as having his
leg broken, lately, has already recovered and is
at work the dance which we announced as be-
ing very pleasant affair, did not come off at
all one merchant finds fault because we said
something to the credit of his opponent, and
another growls that we said some other man had
the latest style goods when he had just received
large shipment from some secondhand auction
house And so it goes. We ask friend if he
has any news. No; he does not know of any
thing worthy Of mention. After our paper is
issued he complains that we did not notice the
large bear he killed, or the rich quartz ledge he
discovered, or his house being on fire, or the fact
of his wife having twins or some other trAing
occurrence. But the worst is yet to come. AZ
ter all the trouble we have had in collecting our
items we think they should belong to us. But
there are parties who have very faint idea of
the laws of meum and tenn. Some rival editor
with more assurance than ability-will lay
hold of one Of our subscribers paper, take our
best locals out bodily, put them into his paper
and claim credit for them. Verify, the way Of
the transgressor is hard.

TRINIrARiAN KILLED.-A desperate attempt to
escape from the Nevada State prison took place
December lst. Two convicts were killed Nc
Clure, one of the men killed, formerly owned in
the Sebastopol mill, in this county, and was
Captain of the Guard at San Quentin while Chel-
lis was Lieutenant Governor. Mcclure was
favorably known in this county at the time of
his residence here. While ranchiug in Lander
county, Nevada, he quarreled with and killed
another man, and was tried and sentenced to
imprisonment for life. The Guards say that he
fought like tiger. He never said word after
the fight began nor after he received his death
wound. He doubtless concocted the plan of es-
cape, acted as its leader and resolved to be free
or die in the attempt. 1t seems little odd that
the States prison outbreaks in this State and Ne
vada have been headed by Trinitarans, and the
ring leader is killed everytime.

CHRISTMAS is coming We have not, as yet,
heard of anything being done towards the ap-
proprate celebration Of the occasion. AS the
children generally calculate rpon a festival of
some kind we would suggest the propriety of
parents and others getting together and making
arrangements for public Christmas Tree at the
Theatre or some other suitable place. This has
been done in previous years with success and
we see no good reason why it should not be tried
again. Let some one take the first step and there
will be plenty to help the thing along Christ
mas only comes once year and we believe in
giving the little ones chance to enjoy it,

NARROW EscAPE.-Dennis Rourke, of Hayfork,
met with serious mshap Wednesday of last
week. AS he driving cattle in the noun

brusing him severely. To make matters ser-

frightened animal plunged and kicked down the
hillside for about two hundred yards until he
got tangled up among some logs, when Rourke
managed to disengage himself Mr.. Rourke
was kicked several times and otherwise injured
but fortunately was not dangerously hurt. 1t
would seem to be one of those instances where
great good fortune alone averted a frightful
death.

THE PRospECTs.-The weather during the past
week has been "perfectly splendid !" that is
to look at it with the eye of miner who has
long been waiting for water. And who is there
in mining community that does not see things
Sust as the miners do? 1t commenced showing
East Sunday afternoon and stormed almost inces-
sanity from that time until Thursday evening !;
at the time of going to press Friday noon) the
clouds still lowering, and there is every in
dicaton that the storm will continue. Nearly
as much water has already fallen-according to
good 1udges-as fell all of last season. On Mon
dav there was about two feet of snow the
Trinity, Oregon Gulch and Hay Fork mountains,
and about six inches in Weaver Basin. On
Wednesday there. were thirty-eight and one-half
inches on the Oregon Gulch mountain, and on
Thursday evening there was only thirty inches,
owing to the rain having made it settle. The
ground is now thoroughly soaked and should
the storm continue, the water will run off and
miners throughout the county be at work in a
short time. Send more snow and rain along.
Our miners look happy and "we all feel gay"
