EDITOR JOURNAL Perhaps a few
lines from this place may be of interest
to your numerous readers and more par
ticularly to the citizens OF Trinity, az ev-
cry one is anxious to hear from different
parts of the county and know the extent
of damage done by the late flood.
The water, on Sunday last, was higher
than ever known by the Oldest residents.
Uncle John Con.in, who has lived here
for twenty four years, says the water
was higher than ever before during that
period. Still the damage to bitches and
fumes was small. The large ditch be-
longing to Isaac Woodbury. was slightly
filled by the debris from the gulches, but
is now in working order; under the
charge Of Mr.. II. w. Sawyer it will
doubtless make 4, good showing when
cleaning up time comes. Jake Hilliard
is doing good work with his Giant, has
good claim and will make it count this
season. j. S. Hoyt has Giant and is
working in Carrier Gulch with plenty of
water. j. A. Stafford is sick, not having
been well since his return from the East.
His brother Franl; attends the store
Sleeper & Wills run n Giant and are do
ing good work Nj. b. Parlin uses u
small pipe, but is doing we'll, as he is an
experienced miner. John Conlin is OPEN
lag Il claim on Cant Gulch. Il. b. Wells
Is making improvements on his stock
r"nge-fencing' etc. He has a band of
over one hundred head OF fine cattle to
which he devotes his time, keeping them
gentle. Thos. d. Smith and James Luck
ie are mining in Sim 'slGulch and deserve
to do we'll, both being hard working men.

No ExcUsE.-Two weeks without mail
makes us sigh for the good Old days OF
the California Stage Company. Had that
C,mpanv-much abused in its day-the
contract to carry the mails as the Cen
tnJ Pacific Il. r. Co., now has, our mails
would not have been delayed "a hours
if,hat long-as it is, the last mail re-
csivcd at this place from below Reading
was on Monday January 2&th, and the
latest San Francisco and Sacram ento
dates by mail are January 18th. A mail
was got through on the Wednesday pre-
yious, and these two are all we have had
in full three weeks There is no excuse
for this miserable state of mail affairs -
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express comes
through, and where it can come the mai.
certainly can. Mr.. 0. " Gray arrived
here several days ago, coming through
from Sacramento all right with trunk
weighing over lG0 pounds. He tells us
the mails could be got through with bat
little trouble on the part of those having
them in charge. There is no serious in
t.rruption between Red Bluff and Cot
!onwood, across which stream boat is
rua capable OF carrying seven or eight
nya at two bits head, and from there to
b@diug the track is so far all right that
hand car is run without difficulty. The
Han-arriyal OF the mai must be attliDut-
ed either to careessness or pure cussed
Eess on the part OF the K. II. Co., or ig

MULE THIEF.-The Shasta C0u,icr of
last week says: " a young man who
has been employed for some time to teach
Mr.. james Z. Cnrr's children ut tho fam
lily residence in Trinity Valley, borrowed
a valuable mule from his employer few
days ago on pretense Of visiting Trinity
Center, He did not tarry there long but
kept on down the road. Carr becoming
alarmed at the mans protfacied Absence,
investigated, and on learning that he had
passed down the road, communicated
With the Sheriff Office here. Sam Eek
les and others traced the fugitive pcda-
cogue to Bells Bridge on Clear creek
where he had stopped and traded the
mule to Bell for another animal, got $40
to boot and left. On lealning the charac-
ter of the man he had traded with, Bell
followed and captured him and turned
him over to Eckles who lodged him in
Shasta Jail to await the action of Trinity
County authorities" Sheriff Philbrook
being notified RS above went to Shasta on
Saturday last and returned the following
day with the prisoner. He gives his name
as Harry Alice, but Tins is thought to be
an alias. The preliminary examination
will not take place until Feb. 1Sth as
some time will be required TO get witness
es here and tho young man desires to
communicate with his friends.

MORE CONTINGENT.-At the .sugges-
tion of the Board oLSapervisors, Spe-
cial Act has been prepared and forward
cd to Assemblyman Montague, providing
that the sum Of Five Hundred Dollars
per annum be set aside from any money
IN the General Fund of Trinity County,
said amount to constitute an Additional
Contingent Fund, to be used at the dis
cro:on of the Board. Under the existing
law the Contingent Fund IS limited to
eli20O and can be used only for repairs
on public buildings, stationery and other
supplies for county officers. 1t frequent
~ happens that the county could save
money by paying for various services in
cash, but not having it TO pay are com
PEELED to draw for much larger sum on
the General Fund. Such is the argument
used IN support Of the measure. We
would suggest that the additional amount
oS increased to $500, making the total
iund ~ 2,0O0, which would be small enough
Ior contingent expenses.
