MINES AND MINING

Onder tne ABOVE neaulng we should De
pleased to give resume each week of
what is going on in the mines of Trinity
County. During a few years past Trinity
has been creating some interest among
the miners and capitalists elsewhere, but
not nearly as much as its superior in>
ducements to those classes should create,
OF course it would be an easy matter to
each week write up an article giving in
general terms the inducements here of~
fered for mining investments, and putting
our prospects 10 our own satisfaction !;
but articles OF that character have little
or no weight. Sensible men such as cap
itaists and miners usually are, would
read such description, see through its
intent at once, and drop it with TIE terse
but truthful observation, "Too Thin I"
and that would be the last of it. What
such men wish to know ard what we
would be glad to tell them, is the plain
facts regarding what is actually being
done and what encouragement the county
affords to new comers. That we have
rich mines is we'll known here, but those
who know it best know also that the high
gravel deposits, the old river channels of
Trinity rich in auriereus gravel, can on
ly De uncovered and worked by the out
lay OF capital. What capital desires to
know is, viii the end justify the means7
Attention once fairly directed this way
will soon demonstrate that it will. Now =,
as to the proper way of securing this de-
sired attention, we believe it can best be
done through the columns of the JOUR-
NAL which exchanges with and is more
or less copied from by the leading mining
papers of this Coast, Such papers being
devoted almost exclusively to the mining
interest endeavor 10 give their readers a Il
the mining news available, and it is
through these channels that we must
seek to make our county known and ap-
preciated
1t is therefore proposed to run regular
heading Of" Mining News" under which
we hope TO give each week fair &C
count of what tho miners all over the
county are doing. In order to make it
as full and complete as possible, the
assistance of all interested in our chief
industry is invited and we hope to hear
from each and every m ming camp as
frequently as circumstances will admit.
SO long as our light is hid under a
bushel, just so long will The outer world
be in the dark concerning the existence
of rich mines in this section. Trinity
County has mining ground and water
sufficient to support ten times its present
population if properly managed. It's
quartz interests, yet in theis infancy,
give promise ofbeing among the richest
on the Coast. If new ledge or gravel
deposit is discovered send us word
give the facts in your own language
and we will shape them for publication
If a new ditehing or ether mining ens
terprise is projected or under way, don't
keep the matter toyourselves and growl
because no mention is made of it but
inform us at once and we will see that
it receives attention. Ii q cleaR>up is
made, let ye local know the extent of
the work done and the amount of the
yield. In q word, don't be selfish
don't keep your news TO yourself
don't be afraid letting others know that
Trinity is rich in gravel IN ines, rich in
quartz mines, aad rich in quicksilver
Or cinnabar mines let others know what
you are doing, that you may hear of
their operations. undertakings and sue
