GONE FROM OUR GAzE.-The genial
phiz Of our valued friend, "Jacinto," no
longer smiles upon US from the window
Of the Clerks Office where he has ofici-
ated during the past year. The dry spell
gives "Trot" leisure from his mining
claims to attend to his official duties, and
Jacintos occupations gone" He will
break for the river near Rush creek and
prospect for rocker diggings until the
river falls sufficiently for him to wingdam
and then d-n the stream. We hope he
will as heretofore enliven the readers of
the JOURNAL with an occasional COM
munication, written after he has weighed
and put away the gold dust which the
joint exertions of "Steve" and himself
will undoubtedly add to the circulating
medium Of the nation.

INDIAN RELICs.-Mr. j. T. Anderson,
who has the old Felter place on Oregon
Guch, recently sluiced into an old Indian
burying ground and exhumed number
of relics which had been buried therein.
Among others was stone pestle Of neat
workmanship, and twenty inches in
length. 1t can be seen at the Challenge
Saloon, where Mr.. Davis has also a num-
Der OF other momentoes of the "oldest in
habitant," including pestles, mortars,
part Of stone hatchet and part of a stone
tobacco pipe in which they used to smoke
their native tobacco, or LoI. They are
well worth looking at and Mr.. Davis is
always pleased to exhibit the contents of
his cabinet to the curious. The Chinese
working for Anderson weakened when
they got among the dry bones, and after
a little sputterng, left. 1t is not COM
mon to sluice out relics of this kind, and
the opinion has been advanced with some
show Of reason that they were not buried
by the progenitors Of the tribe now living
here, as none Of the articles mentioned
are now to be found in use. In 1857 the
writer of this, while sluicing at the mouth
of Readings creek, found number of
relics including three stone pipes of fine
workmanship and knife of the same
kind of stone of which they formerly
fashioned arrowheads. The knife was
about ten inches in length. When shown
to the Indians residing thereabouts, they
denied all previous knowledge of the ex-
istence of the burying- ground, asserting
that it was not one Of their people.

a Royal Organ.

The stomach has been we'll named n
royal organ since it sways and controls
the entire system, every gland, tissue and
nerve sympathizing with it as the serv-
ants of prince sympathize with their
master. Each one Of thom is fed and
sustained by it--even the brain ITSELF
the center of sensation, is absolutely de-
pendent on it for sustenance. Conse-
quently, when the stomach fails to per-
form its all-important office, the subord
mate organs also falter in their duty
The reason why Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters have such wondrously benef-
cial effect upon the general health, and
are such reliable preventive Of disease,
is that they speedily overcome weakness
sure complete nourshmcnt of the entire
system, and healthiul performance Of
its various functions. Unlike those slim
ulants whose alcoholic principle is un-
modified by judicious medication, the
spirituous basis of these Bitters, which is
of the purest description, holds in solu-
ton herbal Alternatives and invgorants to
which foremost rank has been assigned
in materia medica. But it is not alone
the fact that these sovereign botanic ele-
ments enter into the composition of the
Bitters that constitutes them such be-
nign tonic and corrective, but also that
they are so happily combined that the
full effect of each is exerted upon the dis
ordered and debllitated system. The di-
gestive and secretive organs are the first
to experience their benefcent operation,
which extends, by sympathy, TO the
brain, the nerves and the circulation
The influence thus exerted is fruitful Of
those great sanitary results which have
built up the reputation Of this truly ma
tional medicine. mar n3

LIKED HIS VIsIT.-Grand Patriarch
Isaacks recently paid Stella Encamp-

in San Francisco: "On the 10th visit

THE WANDERING JEw-ELER.-
Who has not heard of the Oriental legend
of the " Wandering Jew?" or has not
pictured i'll Imagination the almost cease
less peIance embraced IN the sentence
"Tarry thou till 1 come" Perhaps, in
his journeying he has visited this land of
gold and sought beneath the caving bank
or from the vapors and perils of the mine
that death which the battle field denied
him. The Wandering jew may have
been in Weaver-but if he has not, the
wandering jeweler certainly has. And
when, after little tarry, he set forth
again, he left in the witching hour OF
night, nor did he reappear to public view
till he had passed the Tower House. 1t
is unnecessary to add that he will linger
in the memories and on the books of some
of our people.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF RUM.-We find
the following in reference to man who
lived here until quite recently, in the
North San Juan Times of Feb. 9th -
james Lay, native of Ireland, died at
the Milton tunnel near French Corral, on
the 10th inst, aged about 40 years. Mr.
Lay was not employed at the tunnel at
the time of his deeease, nor had he been
in the employ Of the Milton Company.
He went to the tunnel in an intoxicated
condition, and died from the effects OF
liquor. He had been drinking very hard
for some time prior to his decease. lie
was found dead on the morning of the
10Th by the workman at the tunnel"

LoCUM TENENs.-Our bosses are both
off to the Cinnabar Mines, and we have
got everything our own way. Our pres
ent hopes are that the snow will pile
around that region to the depth of twenty
three feet, that the miners may have wa
ter in plenty, and the time for which we
are "drest in little brief authority" ex-
tended al ininituDa. We chow big that
I'VE" sounds none but monarchs-and
editors, are privileged to use it.) are in
vested with full authority to receive, and
receipt for all moneys due the establish
ment, and VIC earnestly hope that delin-
quents will improve the opportunity to
call in and "see" us. Those having bills
against the establishment may as well
await the return of the proprietors.-
Nuf sed."

Low WATER.-We saw Vitzhum in
town on Tuesday, and asked him how he
crossed the river. That, he said, is the
least Of his trouble, for it can be forded
with a horse anywhere, while at the usual
fording place just above the mouth of
Weaver creek it can be easily forded by
a footman. Such low stage of water at
this season Of the year is of very rare oc-
currence, though it happened four years
ago. Unless we get more storms for the
remainder Of the Winter than we have
thus far, Trinity river will be u small
stream next Summer. The Indians hav G
a legend of the time when it could be cross
ed dry-footed, by stepping from stone to
stone on the rifles and we may sec a re-
currence of similar low water. Mining
in the river bed will be a comparatively
easy job, but as that kind of work is
mostly done by the heathen Chinese, we
don't know as any one will be benefited
by it.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-03-06

HEARD FRoM.-We mentioned few
weeks since the painful accident which
befel the little son Of Mr.. Hooker and the
departure Of the boy for San Francisco, in
charge Of Mrs. Clifford, in search OF
medical aid. Late advices received by
Mr.. Hooker, state that the eye will prob,
ably be saved, but at the time of writing
it could not be determined whether the
sight could also be saved or not. Our
hopes are with the little fellow.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1875-03-06

LOST HIS EYE.-In another part of
this paper we have noticed that jerry
Culverhouse, the stage driver between
Shasta and Reading, had been taken be-
low for medical treatment. We learn
from Doc Gardiner that Che right eye
was in such condition that the physicians
were compelled to take the eye out, when
the shot fell to the floor. 1t is sad case
and it is to be hoped that the perpetrators
of the outrage will be brought to justice.
