BRIDGE CRIPPLED. : The Shasta stage
which left here on time Thursday morn
ing returned at noon the same day.
Inquiry revealed that high water had
cut under one OF the bents Of Lowden's
bridge across Trinity river and made it
inpassable, so that the stage was com
PEELED to turn back. As the team was
worn out whom it returned it was deemed
best to have the stage lay over here one
trip, particularly as it was then too late
to make the connection by the Rush
Creek route. jack Bacon came in on
time Thursday afternoon, by Rash Creek
with tie buggy, and left again Friday
morning. The stage will start tomorrow
morning so as to bring the trips regular
again. The result of the bridge accident
is that we will lose one mai! and this was
unavoidable. Under the circumstances
no one here complains. This is the only
trip lost by the present stage company
which has heretofore madeall connections
promptly and regularly. II may be that
the mail will be sent this way from the
Tower House to-day on horseback, but
more likely that high water has prevent,
ed the arrival Of the train at Reading, in
which cvont we viii not be any loser by
the interruption on this route. We learn
that the damage to the bridge, which is of
the old portion and slight can be re,
paired in few days. At least such was
Mr.. Lowden's impression.

BULLYcHooP AND OCCIDENTAL MIN
ING COMPANY.-At q meeting of the
above Company held in Weaverville last
Saturday, 21 of the % shares in the mines
were represented. From the report of
those in charge of the work it appears
that the tunnel is now in distance of
100 feet. A contract was given to John
B. Siegfried to drive it l25 feet further at
So per foot, the Company furnishing
powder, tools and lights. The tunnel is
five feet in width and six feet high. 1t
is expected that enc or more of the sew
eral iodes embraced in the Company's
location will be struck by the tunnel with
in the l25 feet additional contacted for.
After this is completed 325 feet more Of
tunnel will be necessary to reach the Oc-
cicental, which is considered the main
lode. An assessment Of $50 to each l.
26th interest was levied, payable on the
first Monday in May. This amount,
when collected, will pay all the Compa,
ny's Indebtedness to that date and leave
a balance in the Treasury with which to
do more work. 1t was also decided at
the meeting to take active measures to
collect whatever assessments are dein,
quent at the earliest possible date.-
Since our last report l25 tons of rock have
been run through the arastra, from the
Bullychoop Lode, yielding at the rate
of SIG per ton. The Bullychoop and
Occidental Company have most oncour-
aging prospects and it is hoped their
enterprise will meet with the full meas
ure OF success which it deserves.

THE GLORIOUS SToRM.-We take it
all back. We apologize. When we
said last week that it was too late for
anything but Spring showers that the
mining season Of 1878 8 might be set
down as blank and more of the same
sort, we didn't know what we were talk
ing abeu.. Yet we only said what every
body hereabouts at the time believed.
Last Sunday evening was clear, calm
and lovely Monday morning ~ inches
Of snow which was washed Off during the
day and night by 1.56 inches Of rain j;
Tuesday, l.SS inches more rain Wed =
nesday, 2.G5 inches Thursday, 20
inches and this Friday morning there
is i inches Of snow on the level and the
end is not yet. The aggregate rainfall
of the Sd, 4th and 9th is G.l0 inches and
including the Gth % l00ths more, maxi
ing $50 inches Of rain this time. Total
tall for the season 23.01 inches Of rain
and so inches of snow. Although our
reputation as a weather prophet is gone
forever, we are glad of it. Three months
sllcing now seems secured, and more is
probable, while one week ago the most
hopeful OF the miners did not expect halt
as much. The storm has been a glorious
one and Of incalculabe benefit to Trinity
County.

Reservoirs BRoKEN.-During last
Monday night one Of the smaller reser-
voirs belonging TO Mr.. Isaac Woodbury.,
in Garden GuIch, gave way causing cen
siderable Inconvenience and some loss to
that gentleman. About . o'clock Wed =
nesday afternoon, the large reservoir of
All Hong & Co., in Mckenzie gulch
broke and precipitated is immense body
Of water down the creek with a great
rush, doing some damage but not nearly
SO much as might be anticipated from
such an accident. A few Of the head
boxes of Hong's Aume and the adjoining
hume of All Son e Co., were filled up,
but they were soon cleared and in run>
ming order again. The greatest damage
to Hong was the break in the reservoir
which is said to be seventy-fye feet in
width.

HIaH WATER. The rain ofthc Sd, 4th
and 9TH was one OF the heaviest ever known
here, over six inches of water falling in
less than 3 days. Wednesday afternoon
and night every gulch, creek and stream
was booming, and it was indeed fortunate
that the rain ceased when it did as a few
hours moro would have done much dam
age. Trinity river is said to have
been higher than during the froshet last
year.

INCREASE oF oFFIcE-HoLDERs.

The New York Sun has done the coun-
try service in analyzing the United
States Blue Book so far as to disclose
the enormous increase in the personnel
and expend lures ofthe civil service. IL
appears that, starting with 1861, the mum.
Der Of officers has increased from 46 049
in that year to SO 1884 in 1877. The most
significant and startling feature Of the
detailed analysis as that during the gi-
gantic operations of the civil war the
public business was carried on with
about one.half the force that has since
been employed. Starting with 1861, and
following the record Of the biennial re-
ports down to 1877, the following figures
show the growth Of Federal patronage"
or in other words the number of officers
distributed among partizans:
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-03-06


The department estimates for the next
fiscal year show an increase Of one hun
dred and eighty. six officers, at cost of
$23l $50. But the House bill reduced the
number and appropriation for the cur
rent year and therefore necessarily ex-
uludes this demand for more patronage,
in the midst Of general depression,
when the revenues are falling of, and the
Treasury is asking for new loan to GOV
or probable deficit Of twenty'seyen
millions, or new taxes to produce that
sum. What may be the outcome of the
pending Legislative, Executive, and Ju-
dicial bill must depend upon the confer
ence committee, that will finally put it
in shape. But there will certainly be no
increase in the clerical force of the de-
partments.
