WHAT WAS THE MATTER ?-The Gus

from popping the question:" visiting
their masculine friends and taking them
out buggy riding, or paying marked
attentions of any sort to the other sex in
public, is suspended during Leap Year,
and the Creators Z" last best gift to man {"
may exercise the delightful privilege of
courting to the fullest extent. Our ex
changes contain accounts of Leap Year
parties at different places, the description
of some of them being quite interesting.
Not long since the ladies of Yreka had
a grand time. AT only two days notice,
they got up large ball, renting the hall,
employing the music, inviting their part
ners, taking them to the dance and home
again. The Yreka papers say it was a
most enjoyable affair. We understand
that the ball was almost started in Wea-
verville recently. A little party was
made up, certain gentlemen were to at
tend and the ladies were to invite the
gentlemen. A consultation among the
ladies, however, disclosed the pcrplexing
fact that each of them wanted the same
man for her fcller." AS the matter
couldn't easily be compromised, it was
finally concluded to let it take the usual
course and the gentlemen make the invi-
tations.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - A young
Chinaman attempted to hang himself last
Sunday morning. He took handker-
chief and piece of coarse hemp twine,
went into an out building on the premises
where he was employed, tied the hand
kerchief around his neck, fastened one
end of the twine to the handkerchief
then got on box, tied the other end of
the twine to ratter, and kicked over the
box. His employer happening that way,
discovered his situation and fastened to
cut him down. 1t would seem that the
would -be-suicide had been hanging long
enough to accomplish his purpose, but
the knot in the handkerchief slipping
under his chin took the pressure off of his
windpipe. When cut down, John fell
like log but soon became conscious.
When questioned why he had done this,
John said that he had buried all his mon
ey about fifteen dollars where he
couldn't find it, and he didn't want to live
without money. Johns experience of
hanging, as a cure for " the ills we have"
was not very satisfactory. Said he after
wards, | no more hang myself"

what Dyspepsia may End In.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the
faculty. Perhaps not in itself, while it
remains mere Indigestion but look at
the consequence to which it may lead,
and often does lead when it becomes
chronic disease. A spark of fire is a
small thing. a pressure OF the foot Will
put it out a breath will extnguish it.
Yet it may fire powder mill, or klndle
a ilame that Will consume city. In like
manner indigestion may produce gastrl-
tis, cancer of the stomach, congestion of
the bowels, apopleXy, liver disease, and
many other dangerous malades. Is it
not wise, then, to check it"in the germ
Nothing is more clearly and indisputa-
bly, established than that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will eradicate dyspepsia
in all its stages. The true policy, how
ever, is to extinguish it in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and in
fallibe tonic and Alternative. 1t is easier
to quench a spark than flame, and it is
easier to cure dyspepsia when it is FIRST
developed, than when it has made head
way by neglect, and become complicated
with other ailments. There is not the
shadow ofa doubt that the bitters are as
directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as wa
ter is to fire. There are thousands of
cases on record proving this fact. The
remedy is safe and agreeable. All the
liquors of commerce prescribed as stimu-
lants leave a sting behind. But the sting
is taken out of the spurious basis of this
great remedy by vegetable medication,
and, moreover, the stimulant thus med
icated is of exceptionable purity. OF all
tonics taken as safeguards OF remedies
for fever and ague, bilious remittents,
and other epidemios, 1t Is the only one
that can uniformly be depended on.

DEBT OF THE COUNTY.-We are in
debtcd to County Clerk Jas. G. Trotter
for carefully prepared and accurate
statement of the outstanding Indebtedness
of Trinity county TO date. The following
exhibit shows the amount of unpaid in
terest-bearing warrants drawn on the
County General Fund down to the Feb
ruary term of 1868, with the year of their
issue, and also the aggregate amount of
unpaid warrants from February, 1868, to
February, 1872. The reason for this
classification is that all warrants drawn
prior to the first Monday in March, 1865,
bear interest. Those issued since do not

CORRESPONDENCE.

INDIAN CREEK, March %, 1872.
DEAR JouENAL:-The lovely Spring
has fairly commenced, the sunny side
hills are beginning to look green and
generally nature is looking merry. Even
Mr.. Coombs' Angora goats are looking
sprightlier, but they can make their living
anywhere in the county if there is plenty
Of chapparal brush. They don't mind
snow, but go and feed in any storm in the
daytime. All they want is good shelter
during the night.
Now about the mines of this section {:
Roderic * Rabbit are working point
on Mule Gulch which pays them ten dol
lars per day to the hand regularly. Jas.
A. johnson has his new derrick up on
Stratton's old claim and it works splen-
didly. They hoist bouders out that weigh
several tons with twelve-foot Wheel
Mr.. Sillcox makes $500 per week regu-
larly. Manuel Silva q Co. have made a
partial cleanup of l02 ounces in five
weeks run-not bad for three men. Ga
brel & Co. have ground enough sluced
to keep them cleaning up all Summer.
Frank Silva IL Co. have done very well.
Hennessey & O'Keefe are rushing things
on Spring guleh and are making money
fast, but Morris & Smith beat them all.
They have no rocks to handle, nothing
but red loan. They pipe away the loan
and there lays the gold. They pick up
pieces that weigh from two to five dollars
two feet from the bed rock. Last week
they took out 40 ounces with only two
men at work. As intended to write but
few lines, l now must close.

IMPORTANT To MINERS, w last week
spoke of patent hydraulic nozzle hav-
ing been shipped to this county for the
inspection of the miners. 1t is now in
operation at the claim of Dixon, Hurst &
Co., on Dutton Creek. We are told that
1t works like charm and is as much
superior to the old style nozzle as can be
imagined. 1t is a double -jointed arrange
ment that renders the use of canvas un-
necessary, and is managed with the great
est ease. From what we learn, "The
Little Giant " is bound to supersede the
nozzles heretofore in use in this county,
and canvas hose has had its day in our
mines. Mr.. j. r. Driver is agent for this
county, and can furnish all necessa ry
Information as to price, etc.

Total Hospital Fund indebtedness, 1856 Ii
Total County Indebtedness. SjS,623 o.
1t will be observed that S34S 63 is past
due and has been advertised. This will
probably never be called for and be SO
much gained by the county. The floating
debt since March 1868 foots up 1864 A.
OF this large part is unregistered and
several hundred dollars Of it at least will
not be presented for payment, being also
gain to the county. The figures also
show that since March, 1868, the Redemp-
tion Fund absorbed a great deal more
scrip than during previous years. Most
OF the unpaid non-interest- bearing scrip
is of last years issue and this indicates
that the largest portion of this indebted
ness accrued during that time. From
this it appears that for the three preceding
years the Redemption Fund nearly alb
sorbed all warrants drawn on the General
Fund.
A brief review of our financial condi-
ton for the past nine years is not so dis
couraging as might be supposed. Begin
ming with its organization, the county
went behindhand until 1868. From 1868
to 1868, the revenue just about met the
expenditures. Owing to extraordinary
additions to the receipts of the county,
including the Foreign Miners tax, the
Debt WAS largely decreased during 1868
and 1869, and in lesser amount in 1870.
Since then the county is somewhat in ar
rears. From February, 1865, to Febru-
ary, 1872, the debt of the County General
Fund has been diminished in the sum OF
SS,763 4S. In the same time the debt of
the Hospital Fund has increased S2,057 95
showing that $6,7O5 SO of the County
Debt has been liquidated. Our present
liabilities, though large, are not beyond
our ability to provide for. The Revenue
provisions of the Codes make considerable
additions to our financial resources. AS
sumng that there will be no falling off in
our population and taxable property, with
thorough assessment and faithful col
lection Of property, per capita and other
taxes, our revenue will be sufficient to
defray all current expenses and also Ii
qudate annually portion of our out
standing liabilities. One thing Is at least
certain, this years revenue will consider
ably exceed that of last year.

MINING INvENTION.-Mr.W VIM. Sims,
of Hay Fork, has recently invented a
machine for drilling into bank, de-
scription of which will be found in "Ja-
cinto's" letter published on the first page
of this issue. 1t is expected that this
invention will soon come into general use,
as its operations are great improvement
on the old way of getting down dirt.

RETURNED.-LouisR Raab and Under
Sheriff Philbrook returned from below
this week. Mr.. Raab has completely
recovered his health, and shows it in his

items, but he had no time to stop on his
way home.
Philbrook says he had pleasant trip.
Says he saw lots of Trinity boys, all of
whom told him he was fool for staying
here, and while In San Francisco, flop

ANGoRA GoATs.-An interesting arti-
Gle in the Rurdt Press, which we will

to show that the breeding of Angora
goats is immensely profitable. The wri-

eve goats, bred to pure Angora bucks,
will be worth in five years, at low esti-
mate, Sl4,0S According to this show
ing there is great deal of money in the

fastened to the ceiling. The cords have

through the weight and the other ends
are made fast to the lamp. Balanced in
this way, with the cords crossing, the
lamp is elevated or lowered with ease.

BRANCH TRACK To SHASTA. - Mr..
Louis Raab tells us that while in Shasta
this week, he was informed that the rail
road company had proposed to lay n
branch track to the town of Shasta and
establish depot there, if the citizens
would do the necessary grading. We
presume Shasta will assent to this propo-
sition, if possible to fulfill. A depot ut
Shasta would help the town a great deal.
If established away from it, it seems to
us that the consequences would be ruin

MIGHT PAY WELL.--M. f. Griffin,
this week cut down several cottonwood
trees growing on his premises, and con-
verted them into flre-wood. The trees
were thirteen years old and worked up
about cord each. They were not plant
ed in favorable soil, the ground being too
dry. Cottonwood requires great deal
Of water, and in suitable locality would
no doubt attain much larger growth in
the same time. The wood is said to be
much better than spruce or pine for fuel.
The question naturally suggests itself
whether it would pay to plant them for
fre-wood. Several hundred can be grown
on an acre, and wherever set out about
our town they have thriven.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-03-30

AN EXCEPTIoN.-The fact is well es-
tablished that as general rule the mines
OF Trinity county yield more or less gold.
But to all general rules there are excep-
tlons, and Mr.. George Wolf has demon
strated one exception to the particular
rule mentioned. Wolf, thinking he did
not make money fast enough at carpen-
ter work, must perforce go to mining.
So, selecting what he considered the best
place in the county, last Fall he pitched
in on Dutton Greek. All the versatility
of talent in his composition was mani
tested in labor-saving methods of work
ing his claim. After many weary days
of toll, our enthusiastic miner desired to
realize that he might go on Il spree or not,
just as he liked. The result of his clean
up is best given in his own words: al
finds lots of boulders, black sand, heavy
stuff, old tin pans, dead lizards-every-
thing but gold"
