THE MYSTIC SONG.

God N ade our lives to he song
Sw cot a. the music Of the spheres
That still their harmonies prOlong
For him that purely hears.
The heavens and the esrth do play
Upon US, If we be in tune:
Winter shouts hOarse his roundeiay,
And tender sweet sings June.
But Oftentimes the songs are pain,
And discord mars our harmon:es;
Our etrings are spapI ed from se lflsh Etran,
And harsh hands break our keys
But God meant music; and we may,
Ii we will keep ourselves in tune,
Hear the whole year sing roundeiay-
Decem Der answering June.
God ave At His great key board plays.
Harmonics right and discords wrong.
He that bath ears ar who obeys,
May hear the mystic song.

TOWN ARID COUNTY.

GoLD-SAvING.-Wc once heard an
old miner expresss the opinion that il
mining should now cease and the
streams be permitted to work themselves
down to their natural channels, the bed
of Trinity river would contain more gold
than in 1919. The opinion was a rather
wild one, but it was based upon pretty
fair grounds, after all. The methods OF
mining in vogue during the earlier days
of that occupation, were such as would
save the bulk Of the gold-not a rocker
tom or sluice could be made to save it
all. Quicksilver and undercurrents were
not known and much Of the fine gold
now saved by the use OF those two appli-
ances was washed into the river. Some
Of the "tailings" Of the claims along the
river give a better average prospect than
did the claim itself when worked, and if
they could be worked with the same
facilities of dump" would, now that
they have been for years exposed to the
NIS>O4" my GtNlVH vi tiiS Stli anu Wiiidi ,
pay better wages than the original work
ing. We knew Of one instance in which
iuiings had been dumped in gulch I;
the owners of the claim were afterwards
compelled to rcwork them in order to
bring Up their hume at lower level, and
they informed us that the best average
pay they got willie working the claim
n very rich one), was obtained while
washing these taiings.
Recently Chapman & Fisher cleaned
up The "0ndcr current" of the Aumc in
their claim opposite Arkansas Oam, real
iling 81 Dances. But for tie invention
of the undcrcurrcnt this amount would
doubtless have been lost as it is only the
finest and light,st particles which go
lhat far down the flame. The result
shows what must have heon lost in the
washngs Of former years when the use
Of undeIcumcnts was unknown and when
the fumes used were much smaller than
now and consequently less adapted To
saving 6 I'd.

a GToUND SLIP.-In the Union Hill
claim last week, there was ground Sin
which threatened, for time to susnend
operations. About three fourths Of m
acre broke loose and slid down on to the
beo-rock, completely covering all that
had been cleaned of this winter. In its
course it took the "giant" along with it
and dumped that necessary mining ad-
Junct into the shaft, injuring at the same
time about two hundred feet of the iron
pipe. The company have been at work
night and day since, washing away the
top dirt thus crowded down. No great
damage has resulted beyond stripping"
the ground ahead ortimc. The soil over
the claim is Of that character that it is
easily caved and the heavy rains and
SHOWS OF the past winter have completely
saturated the ground, making it move in
great bodies Of its own voli;ion.

Dragging Gut Existence.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely "drags out exis
tence," as the phrase is Unified for the
active pursuits of life, and incapable OF
partaking ofits pleasures, to which health
alone can give a ze,t; ; disinclined to So
cal intercourse, and prey to melancholy,
the valetudinarian is indeed an object OF
pity. Yet there is nothing in all this
that cannot be remedied by that genial
Alternative tonic and nervine, Hostctter's 5
Stomach Bitters, which supplies deficient
stamina, braces the nervous system, and
overcomes those bodily irregularities to
which nervous weakness is most frequent
ly attributable. Diseases of the kidney
ard bladder, imperfect digestion and
uterine troubles are fertile sources of de-
bility. Their eradication however, be-
comes matter Of certainty when Hos
letters Stomach Bitters are systematic
ally used for thut purpose. The Bltcrs
likewise annihilatc and prevent fever and
aguc and other debilitatlng febrile com
plants Of malarial nature.

CHURCH FEsTIyAL.-A number of
ladies interested in the support of d Prot
estant Minister at this place, will give Il
public Festival at Thomas Theater, on
Saturday evening Of next week, April
18th, the proceeds to be for the benefit
Of Rev. Mr., jackson. The programme
for the occasion has not yet been fully de-
cded ubon, but we are permitted to say
tha! good supper, prepared by the ladies,
will be one Of the features, and further
to notify ladies generally that they will
be called upon, within a few days for
donations toward the rcpast. The festi-
val will be a public affair and general
turnout is asked, and expected. Further
particulars will be given next week.

STRUCK IT.-Some counties in til,
state pay bountes for planting trees along
the public highways, but Il ilieLd Of ours
objects to anything Of that kind or this
section. Somewhere on the wagon sroad
from this place to junction City there
an Is Il tree on the outside of the grade,
said tree being ten, twelve or more fe3t
from the inside bank far enough any
way that most teamsters manage to nj 5
it by careful driving. But our friend,
who had two passengers in the wagon
with him, run the forward wheel into
the tree aforesaid, thereby causing lis
companions and himself to measure their
full length on Mother Earth. One Of
them, we are tod, after picking himself
up, hung his hat on tree and took to the
woods, saying he never wanted to ride III
a wagon any more. We merely men
ton this upset as n caution to those who
may have occasion to drive over the road
mentioned and would suggest to Road
Overseers the propriety Of removing all
trees within l50 feet of the pub ic Ligh

WEAvERvILLE hasn't great many
things within its limits of which it can

Is town of its size and pretensions any
where that can show meaner-iooking

down at any time, rim worse location
The people of that town should be ashamed
ot themselves. Weaverville, we believe,
Is fully entitled to the Centennial leather

DEEP SNow.--Capt. Geo. II. Atkins,
Superintendent of the Buckeye Water
and lIyd?alic Mining Company, took Il
trip to the head Of their ditch last week.
He informs us that the snow is very deep
all along the line and that in many pla-
ces it will probably last until snow comes
again. On Van Matre creek, where a
hume crosses thirty feet above the stream
the snow is more than Thirty feet above
the hume, while in other places he esti-
mates it is even deeper than that.
Mr.. Atkins says that in places whore
the snow has slid the view is grand, Civ
ing one an idea Of the appearance of
things during the glacial pe;iod.

appointment of 5. X. Turner, this last
appointment has taken our people by sur
prise, as the gentleman named had not
had time even to qualify, his bond hav-
ing been forwarded to Washington only
few days ago. The presumption is that
Mr.. Turner's appointment has been re-
yoked through the influence of some one
at Washington. Mrs. Kellogg, who is
now in San Francisco, writes TO friends
here that she herself knew nothing of the
matter until she saw her appointment in

forms Us that his boy, Billy, went up last
week on Democrat Gulch to the cabin
formerly occupied by Mr.. John P4ndcr's
family. Looking into the cabin he saw
COW and very small calf lying dead.
The presumption is that the COW went in
to the cabin for shelter in some Of the
storms aud in moving about closed the
door on hersefand pelished otstaryation.
So, YoCUI?- Our friend JAG Hager Of
Junction City, went home to Ohio a year
or two since, not knowing whether he
would remain there or not. Late advi-
ces from him would indicate that he has
concluded to stay, as he has bought n
m,and probabilities are that he will
soon take, "Dmah" ms somebody else
for a wife. Wherein Jacob is sensible,
though we should not be surprised to see
him and the frau" in this country yet.
BETTER TIMEs.-Although yet early
in the season, gold dust begins to pour
in ard money matters are becoming
more easy. From this time forward we
may look for a general improvement in
bus ness, and when the grand trial bal
ance is struck after the general cleaning
up late in the Summer, Trinity county
will be found to be in better condition
financially than for several years past.

TILDEN DEEP N LAw-BOoKs.- Washing
ton, November PA prominent Democrat
who has Just arrived here from New York
called upon Governor Tilden before his de-
parture and found him hard at work upon
the constitutional and lega! questions grow
ing out OF the disputed issue OF the preSi-
Dental election. He was surrounded by
law-books, commentaries, and authorities,
and fortified by barricade OF congressional
reports and other public documents. The
superstition is that he is engaged upon the
difficult task of shaping policy for his party
to pursue in Congress. The rcticence OF the
Democratic members who have arrived here
as TO the course they will probably take this
winter leads to the belief that they have
been requested not to commit themselves
until their leader studies the situation in all
its bearings. aud decides upon plan Of ac-
ton. The present position OF the party is
that OF an army waiting for orders from its
general. 1--WE shalt do what Uncle Sammy
tells u.s." said Democratic politician to-
day, and this reply seems to express per-
fcctly the view OF all the party leaders. Mr..
Tiiden's control over his followers appears
to be perfect. 4 caucus Of the Democratic
senators and Representatives will undoubt-
cdly be held very soon after the session be-
gins, and the policy determined upon by
him will have only to be announced to be
adopted. ...
