They will revolutionize the mining ideas
and prospecting methods of great, rich
and almost untouched gold bearing re-
gion. embracing Trinity and a great psrt
of Shasta and Siskiyou counties.
Through their sensational effect they
will establish the lesson heretofore learned
by but few and little thought of that this
gold region of Northern California Is not
the mother lode; that gold was not
planted here in the same way, and that
it cannot be found by following the ex-
perience and using the wisdom gained
from the great mother lode. This is
plainly to be the result of the Blue Jay
| and Hickory Gulch discoveries. besides
the general boom of quartz mining here
abouts, which wilifolfow.
Trinity County and Western Siskiyou
are but just emerging from the placer
stage OF development.
Prospectors have ranged through the
region, looking along the streams and
hills for the pieces of gold bearing quartz
called float. which give tips of the loca-
ton OF lodges.
Arterthe manner of mother-lode min
ing nlnety-nine out of a hundred pros
pectors have thus ranged through the
gulches in a superficial way, found little
or nothing and gone off disgusted.
Then the iedges do not crop on the sur
face as on the mother lode. The hills are
everywhere covered by soil and thickly
wooded. 1t is thus hard TO find veins
anyway, and quartz float Is seldom found
at all on the mother lode.
There is system and regularity to the
veins and there are few continuous quartz
veins. but instead are sort of dykes largely
of porphyry and all the geological and
minera! ogcal wisdom OF the mother lod e
IS placed at sea.
There are pockets and strange gold
bearing formations to be looked for here.
These new strikes give final force to the
! lessons of other and smaller finds, and it
is revelation to old, intelligent pros
pectors with their set idea OF where gold
and when 1t cannot be.

The entire country is fabulously rich in

Every available space on the Utopia had
been converted into resting space either
for man or beast Last night the United
States Inspector of HulIs, Captain W. J.
Bryant, made an official visit to the
steamer, and as a result a number of
small hunks that had been constructed in
the aft cabin for second class passengers
were ordered to be torn out. The principal
objection lies in the fact that the pice
was so constructed that no opportunity
was allowed for the air to circulate. The
experience on the oyercrowded William
cite has had a tendency to quicken the
perceptive powers of Captain Bryant, WHO
Is now determined to look closely alter
the safety and comfort of passengers on
steamers leaving this port. In speaking
on the subject, he expressed himself in
positive terms against permitting the
loading of horses and mules in the hold
and upper deck and placing steerage pas
sengers between them, as has been done
in several instances.
He further said: II will see that in the
future plenty of room will be gwen in

REDDING, CAL, Aug. H.-Never before
in the history of mining in this portion of
the State has there been so much excite
ment nor so much interest centered on
any certain locality as there is at
present in the Coffee Creek country and
the mining districts of Southern Trinity
and Northern Shasta. With each incom-
ing stage new reports and verifications of
previous ones come which go to show that
the great mining upheaval in the Coffee
Creek country is not mere streak of
luck on the part of the Graves brothers
and Burgess and Murphy, but that it is
the beginni ing Of new and golden era In
the mining industry of Trinity, ard all
indications point to the appreciable fact
that it has come to stay.
Mining experts VINO have visited the
region pronounce it without doubt the
richest section of the country in the
United States that Is on the outward
showing, and which is all there is at
present to go by. The character of the
country, the lay of the land and the

A Blessed Family Home.

Saps DR.. James Hamilton, ~ love tn
think heaven is our family home"
His father and two sisters had died in
the faith and the remaining members
of his family were decided followers OF
Christ. Not long after he wrote the
sentence quoted above, he was called
to the family home. The family will
undoubtedly from an undivided family
in heaven, if the union has not already
taken place.
What is true of the family Of the
reader? Can he say, II love to think
of heaven as our family home" Are
parents ond children; brothers and Sis
ters united in love to Christ as well as
in love to one another Have the de-
parted members of the family gone to
be present with the Lord, and wait
the coming of those who were dear to
them on earth ?
The family was designed to be a
nursery for heaven. God says to every
parent to whom a child is born, "Take
this child and train it for me-" The
parent cannot convert the child but
his influence may be more powerful
than that of any other created being.
He has the promise of divine aid. How
many children would grow up impeni-
tent if their parents were devoted
Christians, and labored wisely and
prayed to the end that their children
might attain to the like precious faith ?
Christ parent, have you so walked
before your children that they have
full confidence IN your professions of
seeking first the kingdom of God and
Hisrighteousness? Arethey convened
that you desire their conversion and
holiness more than you desire anything
else? You have conversed freely with
them in regard to their temporal in
terests and propects. Have you as
freely conversed with them in regard
to their spiritual interests and pros
poets? Have you prayed for them as
constantly and as fervently as the in
terest at stake require? Have you
contemplated the possibility of an eter-
nal separation between you and those
who are dearer to you than your own
soul?

Your Motives.

Don't he too sure about your mU-
tlves. They are very agile, cunning,
deceptive. You hide protect, defend,
and shelter them. You seek alliances
for them. You dress them up in pretty
clothes. Your blood is interested for
them 1t is an old story how blind
parents are to the fault of their own
children. Sometimes when everybody
else can see that your child il mean
little scamp, you are sure he is lovely
little angel. Just so it is with your
motives. Don't be too sure about
them.
Dom talk too much about your mo-
tives. It's a delicate business, this
matter of your motives, and the fact
is people are great deal better satis-
fled with the judgment they form by
watching your motives in action. than
with anything you may say about them.
1t does no good at all for you to pro-
claim: "Now my motive in this is
perfectly noble and high. / am stick
ing this knife in my brother from pure
love to him and the cause of Christ.
Before God | am actuated by pure love
and my wounds are the faithful wounds
of friend. My anger is indignation
for the Lord of hosts. I call God to
witness that L am upright, true, fair,
loving, brotherly, acting in the spirit
of Christ" You might as well save
your breash. No wise man will pay
the slightest attention to these declara-
tions. In fact, this kind of thing is
disgusting to all right-miuded men:
1t makes, and rightly makes, a bad
impression. Intense zeal in declara-
ton of a good motive raises suspicion
of bad one. The fact that you feel
necessity of protesting high and good
motive is indication that you perceive
bad or doubtful look about the act it
produces. Do what you do in demon
station of the spirit of Christ. That
will 60 great deal farther than any
loud professions.
