JUDGE HILL.

l retired without saying many words,
and went to the court room, and found on
the bench slender, elderly looking man
with rather peaked face and small head.
His expression does not indicate any great
meanness, nor does it promise much good
ness. You know have often spoken to
you of the great Lavater. Guided by his
instructions, | surveyed the Judge closely.
His name is Hill. II he were let alone, and
moreover, if he had competency, so that
ne could elevate his feelings above those OF
a pensioner. he would do no harm. So reads
his face. Nature and education usually
write legibly.

In the first place, the miners are all at
work and have better prospects than for
several years. On the East fork, Sims &
Co. are highly elated with their show

week, struck the old streak and cleaned
up five ounces the first week. This week
they picked up twenty dollar chis-
pa. Stevenson is working four hands
besides himself. Squire Wells & Parlin
are sluicing and doing we'll and Dennis
Rourke & Conlin are making it pay also
the Sullivan boys. There is plenty of
ground on the East Fork that will pay to
work, all it wants is the bone and muscle.
In the Valley, Duncan's, j. S. Hoyt's
and Jake Hilliard's claims are all run
ming with plenty of water. Their pros
poets are good and they will be well paid
for this seasons work. Joe Bebeau had
a very narrow escape last week. He was
piping when the bank caved suddenly.
He was so close to the bank that there
was no use to run, so he simply held up
the pipe and by miracle the bank split
and fell on each side of him. Truly,
some men are born lucky. The bank
was eighteen feet high and caved off six
feet back. Joe says it came down so
quickly that he had no time to get scared.
The farmers who can are busy plowing,
although much of the ground is too wet
and at night freezes, so that not much is
done until the middle of the day. To
sum up the whole matter, everybody in
this section is at work, either farming or
mining, e*a

PERIsHED IN THE SNow.-John Geg-
gis, an old resident of Trinity, better
known as "Old Hannes," recently per-
ished in the snow between Minersville
and Trinity Center. Through Mr.. w.
L. Brown we have obtained the follow
ing particulars Two weeks ago last
Saturday Geggis left Minersville 10 go
to Trinity Center. Stopping at Mr. John
Bowerman's, four miles from Miners
vile, Mr.. Bowerman attempted to dis
suade him from going any further be-
cause of the deep snow. Finding the
old man determined to press on, the
Bowerman brothers fitted him out with n
pair of snow shoes and he resumed his
journey. Last Saturday Mr.. Jacob Bow
erman visited the Center and upon in
quiring for cold Hannes" learned that
nothing had been seen of him. A party
Immediately started in search and found
the lifeless remains not far from the road.
From the indications it would seem that
after leaving Bowerman's, "Hannes "
found the road almost to the divide above
Louis Olsen's, and about four miles from
the Center. Losing his way, he wander
ed around and some distance back the
way he came, meanwhile taking off his
snow shoes. Finally, when wearied out,
he gathered brush and boughs with which
he constructed a rude couch, and cover
ing himself with large coat, laid him
self down to slumber and slept the sleep
that knows no waking. He was taken to
the Center and buried the next day.
"Old Hannes was one of the pioneers
of this county and at one time in good
circumstances. Industry, inoffensiveness
and good humor were marked traits in
his character.

ACCIDENT.-On Saturday of last week,
January 9th, Mr.. j. ID. Mathews met
with a painful accident, at Wares saw
mill, on East Weaver creek. He was at
work edgng boards, which were piled in
two tiers of seven feet each in hight. In
stead of running both piles down together,
he ran the nearest one to the floor before
commencing on the other, and had just
picked up the last board of the first tier
and turned with it, when the second tier
fell, striking him in the back and legs
and crowding him against the frame in
such position that, although his arms
were entirely free, he was unable to help
himself. He called Justify for help and
soon brought his wife, who was at the
house, and Geo. b. Jumper, who was
near by, to his assistance. The lumber
was speedily removed, Mr.. Mathews
taken into the house and DR.. j. G. Mon
tague sent for. The Doctor tells us that
one ankle was dislocated and the small
bone broken, causing painful wound
also that the back and legs were consid-
erably bruised. At last accounts, Mr..
Mathews was getting along as we'll as
could be expected under the circum
stances, but will probably be two or three
months before he RECEIVERS from the in
juries received.

NARROW EsCAPE.--John Whitmore
and M. r. Merrill, of junction City,
were driving saw-logs down Trinity riv-
er one day last week and met with an ac-
cident that almost resulted in the drown
ing of both. They had number of logs
fastened together and attached by rope
to boat in which they were leading the
raft down the river. Their boat struck
concealed rock and the current being
very swift their frail bark capsized, throw
ing two men who could't swim upon their
own resources in the turbulent waters of
Trinity river. Whitmore, when the boat
struck, made lucky jump and obtained
footing on another big rock in the mid
die of the river. Merrill got his hands
on the nearest log. The logs were loose
ly connected together by line, and the
one Merrill caught kept turning over and
over till it struck the bowlder upon which
they were wrecked, and held fast. The rest
of the float jammed together and Merrill
crawled on top. The half-drowned RATS
men shouted Justify for assistance. Their
cries were heard by Mr.. Martin, who also
saw their boat hoating down the stream.
Mr.. Martin caught the stray vessel and
taking it up the river, went to their re-
lief bringing them safely TO terra yfrnaa.
The gentlemen whose misfortune furnish
cs with this item, were nearly dead from
cold when rescued, but may rest assured
that lucky stars beamed brightly in the
armament at the time of their advent
into this world Of toll, sorrow and hair
breath escapes.

" SHE'LL" dear uncle; I'm doing very
we'll now, thank you.
This is a great country for extremes !;
according to my count, we had twenty
four days of storm, followed by sixteen
days Of clear weather, and as l write it
looks like it might storm again. Let her
rip ! l am ready for the next shower !;

enough to last till Spring, and feel quite

to go in the house when it rains, and then
all the personal property and real estate

Situated as | am at the bridge, my op-
portunities are good about hearing what
is going on throughout the mines of the
county. From all parts comes the cheer
ing information that this is going to be
the best mining season we have had for
many long year ; every miner is busy,
but as yet few have made any cleaning
up. hear Of one company only and
that paid fraction over $40 per day to
the hand. This is not quite up to my
expectations; however, $40 is pretty good
for these short days, when we take into
consideration that no bedrock was cleaned
during the run.
The boys on Dutton Creek are running
off tremendous amount of gravel, and
perhaps toward the latter part Of this
week will make their first cleanup.
The Douglas City miners will all be
running water in few days some are
at work already. Charles Tourot is run
ming two pipes on his Douglas City claim
and is getting dirt off fast.
The sale Of the Sillcox mine on Indian
creek has enlivened the quartz question
in this county considerably. After the
placer mining is over, doubtless numer-
Gus companies of quartz prospectors will
be fitted out for the purpose Of overhaul
ing the section Of country lying on In
dian, Reading and Brown creeks, and it
would not surprise me if some of them
made valuable discoveries.

STORM AT THE RIGHT TIME.-The first
storm was followed by cold, frosty nights
which dried up the water until the supply
was perceptibly affected, especially during
the past ten days, in this basin. But on
Thursday afternoon, just in good time,
the clerk of the weather department for
warded another installment of the element
miners prize so highly. Beginning in the
afternoon of Thursday, it has rained day
and night since then, and is still raining
as we go to press.

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis
are not the only ones to be dreaded. Can
ker or dry rot does not blast tree as sud-
denly as stroke of lightning, but unless
arrested it destroys it as certainly; and
in like manner chronic debility, although
it does not kill with the swiftness of yell
low fever, is as sure to sap the springs of
life eventually as any acute disease, If
not checked by invigorating medication.
There is something ineXpressibly touch
ing in the spectacle of premature decay.
Languor, pallor, emacation, depression
of spirits, and distaste for eXertion, are
its ordinary symptoms, and they should
be promptly met by tonic treatment. The
best invigorant and exhilerent that can
be administered in case Of this kind is
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. The slim
ulating principle of the preparation rouses
the dormant energies of the system, and
the strengthening and regulating proper
ties give a permanent and healthtul i'm
pulse to the vital forces thus brought into
play. The failing appetite is re-awak-
ened, the process of digestion and as
similation are quickened, the quality of
the blood is improved, the secretions be-
come more natural, and every organ that
contributes to the nourishment of the
body undergoes salutary change. BY
these means the repair of the physical
structure is effected and its health and
vigor restored. In no class of diseases
has the benifcent operation of the Bitters
been more marked and striking than in
those characterized by general debility
and nervous prostration. Ladies affected
with these ailments find in this most
wholesome of all tonics and correctives
the safest and surest means of relief. 1t
is strong to restore and powerless to in
jure. Such is the uniform testimony Of
"clouds of witnesses" 2 feb.
