LIST OF LETTERS

A STRANGERS OPINIoNs.-Mr. G. I.
Bartlett, an experienced and practical
miner, who is interested in claims and
water bitches at Gold Run, Placer coun-
ty, came here with number of others to
take look at Trinity county. After two
or three weeks of earnest investigation,
he gave us his views to the effect that
within the next ten years Trinity county
would be the first hydraulic mining coun-
ty in California. From conversation with
him and others of experience in such
matters, we gather that the gravel depos-
its Of this county are equally as extensive
as those of Nevada, Placer, Yuba and
other counties, and that they universally
prospect better. Mr.. Bartlett also in
forms us that bitches can be dug and
kept in repair here with as little if not
less, expense as in any other county al
so that water can be brought to the mines
and sold at four cents per inch with prof
it. He returned to Gold Run this week,
but will undoubtedly return, as he went
away very favoraby impressed with
Trinity as hydraulic mining section.

Medical POisOns on the Wane

The patriarchs took no mercury, no
bismuth, no iodine, no bromide of potass-
ium, no strychoria, no quinine. Happy
old gentlemen they didn't even know
of the existence of these rspecifcs, ;" and
yet they lived until it seemed rs if Death
had forgotten them. Their medicines
were herbs and roots. They have left
this fact on record, and the world seems
to be now taking note Of it and returning
to the first principles of medication
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the purest
and most efficacious vegetable restorative
of the day, is also the most popular.
Thousands of persons who few years
ago believed in all the poisons in the med
lcal pharmacepia, now pronounce this in
fallible tonic and expectorant an all-suffi
cient remedy for dyspepsia, nervous de-
billy constipation, bilious complaints,
headache, intermittent tevers, and all the
ordinary disturbances of the stomach,
the liver. the dscharging organs and the
brain. The time is not far distant when
most of the powerful and venomous drugs
now so recklessly administered by physi-
clans administered by practitioners of the
",heroic" school, in cases that might cas-
lily be controlled by milder treatment,
will be utterly discarded by all philosoph-
ical physicians. AS it is, the thinking
public, who are generally ahead of the
professionals, have already put the dan
gerous preparations aside and adopted
Hostetter's Bitters in their stead as a safe
and excellent household medicine, adapt
ed to almost every alment except the or
ganic and deadly contagious Diseases
For more than twenty years this famous
restorative and preventative has been an
nually Strengthening its hold upon the
public confidence, and it now takes the
lead of every advertised medicine manu-
factured in this country.

PARTIES desiring to enjoy peace and
quiet on the approaching Anniversary of
our National Independence. are respect
fully invited to visit Weavervlle and
spend the day in bed. Our City Fathers
have not found it necessary to issue an
order prohibiting the firing of bombs,
etc., as is the case in San Francisco, for
there is not energy enough in town to
touch a match to fre-cracker, even in
commemoration of such an event as the
Declaration of Independence. 1t is pro-
posed to saw-dust the streets and side
walks, steal the hotel gongs, Danish cry
ing babies, and take such other precau-
tions as may be necessary to keep people
from being deceived into the belief that
there is any life left in Weavervlle on
public occasions. We are led to this
conclusion by the fact that no steps have
yet been taken toward getting up cele-
bration of any kind, and if there was any
public spirit in the village it would Ger
tainly have manifested itself before this
time.

TRINITY CENTER.-We were pleased
this week to make the acquaintance of
Mr.. f. II. Loring, of the firm of Rum
felt g. Loring, Trinity Center. From
him we learn that the prospects in that
section are very favorable, particularly
at the cinnabar mines where prospecting
is being carried on extensively. Consid-
cradle quantities of ore have already been
taken out ard it is said from one of the
mines ton day to the man can be got
ten out. The prospects of the cunabar
mines there seem to indicate that they
are the richest in the world, and there
can be no doubt but that they will be
extensively worked. As at present reach
ed these mines are twenty-four miles
from Trinity Center, but it is the inten-
tion of parties interested to build road
down the East Fork of Trinity river,
from the mines to the town, which will
be only fourteen miles in length.

MORE BAD LUcK.-Levi Day return
ed from the Sacramento Valley last weel,
with $400 span of horses which he had
just purchased. A day or two afterwards
while driving them, one became unruly,
reared and fell back with such force as to
break one Of the thigh bones, necessitat-
ing the shooting of the horse. In the
matter of accidents and losses with horses
and mules Mr.. Day has been very unfor-
tunate of late.

Tho suspension Of Henry Clews & Co., Of
Now York. just before tho hour of closing busi-
ness yesterday afternoon, Ind the effect Of again
disturbing the market which had been compara-
tiyoly quietod. Tho Immediate CAUSE of the
suspension was tho rejection Of tho checks Of
that houso by the Fourth National Bank. Tho
Fourth National Bank il ONO Of tho largest in
Now York, aud its refusal to certify tho checks
Of CLOVIS i Co. must havo boon because Of we'll
grounded aiatrust Of that house.
Tho firm OF Henry CLOVIS 4, Co. ia Of tho Same
class Of bankers as Jay Cooke L Co. It aimed
at something moro than tho character Of q bank.
It ongagod III all varieties Of business Though
it did not attempt, like Jag Cookie l. Co., to
build ralroad, it dabblcd in matters perhaps rs
fully speculative. Il dea1t largely or at least
Ind tho credit OF doing 30, in tho honda Of
South Carolina and other Southern States, tho
validity Of which las boen somewhat ques-
toned, and Reputation Of which Una
been threatened. Tho dishonest oElcials who
issued those bouds, aud robbed thoir 6tatoH of
tho proceeds, negotiatod thom at runous ratos
through the house Of Henry Clews 4 Co. Though
these bonda were purchased at very low prices,
their aggregate was far up into tho millions,
and whatever capital WIS invested in them has
been locked up, md haa become Improbable,
for tho interest OIL nany Of thom ia no lougor
paid. It ls understood TINT thoHo bonds aro
largely held by Henry Clowa & Co., with
others in Now Yorh, and it hns boon strongly III
timated that tho schemo for tho assumption of
tho dobtB OF all tho carpot-bag States has Ind
ita inspiration in Now York. What tho chatac-
ter of tho other Investments Of tho firm may
have boon no do not know, but whatever WIS
invested in this class Of securities Is uttorly
valueleaa at tiano like this.
The house Of CLOVIS l. Go. partook largely Of
tho sensational, i'll tls respect exceeding oyon
tint Of Jny Cooke l. Co. It sought oyory mode
OF advertising itself. OF Into yoars, Mr, Horny
Clows In 1liH character Of banker, assumed to DO
also q political loailor, ostontatiounly holding
public meetingH ut hia own cost, and aa
oatonsatiously making hmso1f conspicuous
NJ their manugor. A. year or moro ago,
ho received m i.nmonso advertisement
by obtnining tho removal Of Barring
Brothers as fiscal agonta Of tho United stateH
In London, an appointment that house had hold
for fifty ycara, md securing the appointment for
himsolf. II lB oertain tint this Substitution of
Horny CLOVIS 4 Co. for tho woll-known houHo Of
Barring Brothers as fiscal agonta for the Unttod
states must hayo boon q valuable advertisement
for banking firm which ut that time was known
oyon by nan,o to comparatively few porsouB In
Tits country. It Ia possible that tho house
laa resourooa upon which II can fall
buck, aud !n timo recover its character but
tlloro IL, and will bo for long timo, dlatruBt
Of any house or bank, holding itself out to tho

rate Of lax accoraingy7 If tho object sought ut
Springfield was a,1 honest levy aud collection Of
taxes for an honest and Legitimate purpoao,

dishonest attempt to foist upon tho State
Treasury a local railroad MD dobt Of
ovor thirteen millions Of dollars, noarly all
bsaring 10 per cont interest, iii lcfanco of tho
Constitution. It is dishonest abuse of tho
forms Of law, for tho purpose Of making tho
people Of the wholo Slate pay this tnamonBe local
debt, owed BY less than half tho people Of tho
Statc. Tor this purpose, tho State Doard Of
Equalization is holding Il aoseion to bolster up
tho declining value Of bouds In tho hands Of
ralroad spectators, and arc grayoly considering
