CORRESPONDENCE.
CINNABAR, April 13, 1876


DEAR JOURNAL Spring time has
come once more, but no Spring weather
has yet reached this place. 1t freezes
hard every night, days are not warm and
present indications are that there will be
from two to twelve feet of snow for mid
Summer sun to absorb.
The "lost treasure referred to recent
ly by your Trinity Center correspondent,
is said to be located but few miles from
this Camp and why should l not be the
lucky one to procure forty thousand
dollar pot of gold and silver instead of
one who inhabits the Sand bars of Rogue
river or the gravelly plains of Shasta.
Our miners are at present lying still
and are likely to do so for several weeks
as there is yet ten feet OF snow on the di-
vide between this place and Davis ranch
on Trinity river. The road will proba-
bly, be impossible for wagons until about
June lst, unless shovels are brought free
ly into use. The mines need little com
ment as most of your readers have heard
of their richness and extent. The AL
toona has worked only two men during
the Winter, but will increase the force to
sixty as soon as the snow is gone. A vis-
it through the mine short time ago with
Foreman Winans showed more and bet
ter ore in view than was ever before under
my observation. The Company has a
bench of five re:orts forty hundred ca
pacity each charge-and set in readiness
to be fired at any moment. Supernten-
dent Greenman intends to construct two
furnaces during the Summer.
At the Boston Mine, one and one half
miles north east, there is bench Of thr go
nine-foot retorts ready to receive ore as
i. comes from the mines. This mine was
located by and named after our friend
Austin Lawrence, of Trinity Center, bet
ter known by many of our pioneers as
" Boston," who sold the mine to Butler
& Co, for the penurious sum OF ten dot
Lars. Uuder the influence of the latter,
the lapse of sixteen short months has in
creased its value to one hundred and
forty thousand dollars. Such is miners
luck.
One mile north is the lone Tozer quick
silver mine, owned by Wilt & Co. This
Company is running on very fattering
prospects and we hope to hear Of their
striking new Consolidated Virginia be-
fore the summer ends. Judge Hubbell
is on hand, Notwithstanding all the snow
and has already resumed operations for
the season and we hope the Judge may
be rewarded for his enterprise. B. q.
Wattles is driving his tunnel with vigor
and should he continue on his course
will no doubt some day pop out at the
Dodge place on Trinity river. The Sir
John Franklin mine, owned by j. +.
Doliffe has been showing good prospects
all Winter and Mr.. D. intends putting
on concentrating works and be nch OF
small retorts this Summer.
Foley continues to run his accommo-
dation store and hotel and furnish food
for the hungry and rest for the weary.
Among our most prominent ranches is
that of John G. Post, located on the sum-
nit between this place and the Sacra-
m.nto river. AS it is now under fifteen
feet of snow we may look for the early
potato crop about next September. Is

Mr.. EDITOR The Festival notice of
your last issue being so pleasantly defined
last Saturday evening to large company
of friends, had also very interesting
synonym to me, day or two subsequent,
in the shape of sl96 IS in coin. 1 re-
sumed specie payment Immediately !;
called in outstanding paper and am now
anti-inaationist. Please give my sincere
gratitude to liberal public, the kind
ladies who presided over their stoves, and
an extra measure to the Jealous hearts
who denied themselves the enjoyment of
the occasion to serve tables, etc.
Respectfully Yours,
A. L. JACKSON.

MOVING GRoUND.-We crossed the
river Sunday and took look at the
claim of Trotter & Smiley opposite Doug
las City. They have not let the water
run to waste this season, having already
stripped about 10000 feet of bed rock,
with bank above it varying from twenty
to ninety or hundred feet in height
That it has paid rich our readers need
not be told. As Alexander sighed for
more worlds to conquer SO the boys
sigh for more ground to work, they
having fine mining outfit which they
think will be in good condition yet when
the pay ground of Smiths Flat will be
all sluiced away.

The CHURCH FEsTIvAL.-Thomas'
Thsater was thronged with men, women
and children on last Saturday evening,
the occasion being the Church Festival
under the auspices Of the ladies of this
place. Tableaux and music furnished
the entertainment, while an excellent
supper, ice-cream, lemonade, fish pond
and ring cake we're the methods resort
cd to in order to raise funds to defray ex-
penses and leave surplus for the min
.ter. Libeolity characterized the vis-
itors, while the utmost decorum prevail
Cd the entire affair. Almost everything
connected with the Festival was do
mated, the whole expense being only
t32, while the net receipts, being the
amount handed over to Rev. A. r. Jack
son, footed up the nice little sum of $l96.

hand Tor the satisfactory manner in which
the Festival WAS gotten up and conduct

Dragging Out Existence.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely "drags out exis,
tence," as the phrase is Untitled for the
active pursuits of life, and incapable of
partaking ofits pleasures, to which health
alone can give a zest; disincined to So
cial intercourse, and a 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, Hostetter's
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
and 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 that pdrpose. The Bitters
likewise annihilate and prevent fever and
ague and other debiitating febrile COM
plants of malarial nature.

A DANGEROUS SToP.-Last week our
friend Earl was hauling load Of wood
from below Fillibuster Flat and in pass
ing along the bank Of Charley TouTor's
claim was called to by Charley and stop.
ped few minutes To talk with him. No
slcing that the road was rather nearer
the bluff bank than formerly he glanced
TO the ground on which the wagon was
standing and saw that three of the horses
and the loaded wagon we're standing on
ground which was cracked and ready TO

that place and soon afterward the face OF
The claim fell over. Earl says that II it had
started while he was on it he would have
travelled down about l25 feet and lighted

TOWN srvE.-The following letter, re-.
ceived by I. L. Jones, County Judge
explains itself:
o. S. SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, April II 1876.
DEAR JUDGE The Weaverville town
site is suspended because mistake was
made in the Revised statutes in sec. 24O3
by citing sec. 240l as sec. 24O7 being
the section authorizing credit for money
deposited for surveys on price of lands.
A large number of cases are suspended
Tor the same cause. A bill to remedy
the matter is now in the Committee on
Revision of Statutes of the Senate, and
will undoubtedly pass.
Respectfully,
A. A. SARGENT.

A LUCKY HoMBRE.-Our old friend
Jesse Cruthis is in luck this Spring. In
addition to having a claim on the Grave
yard Point which pays thirty and forty
dollars q day, he is the daddy OF a boy.
Now this proves the truth of the old
proverb that one blessing is followed by
another. Jesse Is not bit "stuck up "
by reason of his good fortune, though he
looks kind of pityingly upon any poor
devil who has not got boy. Sucker,
" have you piece ?"

COARSE GoLD.-The Markley Bros,

struck a lead of nuggets. During the

tune in q single chunk.

VERY WRoNG.-The Chinese about
Weavervile, profting by past expert
ence, have taken some measures to pre-
vent fire in their quarters, and keep near
their houses barrels filled with water
ready for immediate use. Some of our
boys, imbued with the anti Chinese spir-
it went through Chinatown, the other
day and tumbled the barrels over, an ac-
tion which should not and will not be
tolerated, as we are informed by officials
to whom the matter was referred. In
case OF fire in the Chinese quarter, the
property of whites would be in as much
danger as that of Chinese.

Hon WATEk.-The few days of
warm weather we have had lately have
had marked effect upon the snow which
is rapidly disappearing from the low
m)u tains. The Trinity River has b ZEN
raised to high stage by these melting
SHOWS and will probably keep to the
same height this year until July or per
haps later. The water has spread over
the wag m road below Arderson.s s Ranch
on the North Fork road and communi-
cA'ion except on horseback is temporar-
lily suspended. At Douglas City the
river ia crowded out of its bed in low
water BY the heavy wash which comes
out OF he Trotter & Smiley claim, and
at its present stage has covered several
acres of fine alfalfa belonging to Stein
miller & Earl. The crop will probably
be entirely destroyed. tits not proba-
Die the high water will do any damage
to speak of.
