Rev. j. w. Olmstead of Appleton,
district superintendent of the Chill
dren's Home Society of Wisconsin,
was in the city Sunday and spoke at
the Congregational church in the
evening. Mr.. Olmstead delivered d
number of pamphlets about the city
entitled, Beautiful Charity" setting
forth a little of their grand efforts in
caring for and finding good and suita-
BILE homes for homeless children, and
demands the attention Of every person.
Theirs is an organization of charity,
and it is indeed beautiful Charity
to give to SO grand a cause. Their
work in the past has been the grandest
effort in saving homeless children of
any in the history OF the state. Since
their organization in 1892 they have
placed more than six hundred depen-
dent children into happy homes and
among good families. Send what you
can spare to their treasurer, 73 Loan
and Trust Building, Milwaukee, and
you will be helping to care for home
less and friendless child, and find for it
a home where it may grow up to hon
est and useful manhood or woman
hood.

The Forest county division bill hs

The Forest county division bill hes
passed both houses of the Legislature
and has gone to the Governor. As it
finally passed, Oneida county gets
range IL up to and including town 80.
Villas county gets towns 40, Al and AZ
of Range IL and the north half Of
town thirty-nine, range 10. This will
be OF considerable benefit to Eagle Riv-
er and Villas county. It will give Us
some valuable territory for taxable
purposes without any corresponding
expense. It also gives us quite num-
Der of homesteaders and also enables
us to build roads giving the settlement
near Columbus lake an outlet to this
place. Senator Riordan deserves
great credit for getting the bill
through in its present shape.

with them came an endless account of
new strikes and verifications of previous
rumors. One of the passengers was w. ].

w. Davis, owns the Morrison Gulch gravel
mine. located on Morrison Gulch, adjoin-
ing the Graves claim on the north. Mr..
Fosgate, who is not practical miner him
sell. was accompanied by NJ Fay, an old
g'iZzled prospector, who has had years of
experience in mountain mining. For five
years past Fosgate and Davis have owned
the Morrison Gulch claim, but, like the
great m jority OF Trinity miners, had pros
pected to no very great extent until the
recent find of the Graves brothers became
known.
In an interview with Fosgate tonight
il was learned that the reports OF a rich
strike made recently have not been exag-
gerated with perhaps one exception, that
OF Murphy and Burgess. Instead of $780,,
600 these gentlemen have within the past
week taken out all told perhaps $45, 900
and are still at work taking out good-sized
pockets. The Morrison Gulch mine, of
which he is one of the owners, is, he says,
even as rich as that OF the Graves and

They took out yesterday about S21. 600 and
they made an average right along OF $40

commodations are becoming very scarce.
In fact, things have arrived at tnat stage

Add to this the difficulty of keeping their
usual help about the hotel and the situa-

instances the proprietors the selves have
been stricken with the gold fever and are
throwing down their everyday avocations
for the ever-tempting pursuit OF fortune
hunting.
This afternoon E. Carroll arrived in the
city en- route for San Francisco. He is
the owner of the rich quartz mine Just
discovered across Morrison Gulch from
the Graves claim. Carroll is highly en-
thusiastic over the outlook of the new
diggings, and gives it as his opinion that
the half has not been told of that rich
country. The character of the quartz in
his newly discovered mine is of the de-
composed variety and it averages 5000 to
the ton. A sight of some OF the ore would
cause the most skept1cal to catch the gold
fever. In some of the specimens the free
gold is so thick that the quartz is barely

claim quarreIed and one of the halfbreeds

proceeded on to Coffee Creek and after

Time and time again numerous pros
pectors have searched for this claim but
to no avail. In describing the locality of
his claim Dick said he could. see from
where he took out the gold the roof
OF the mill of the Nash mine. From
various points this mill can be seen, but
thus far no trace of the lost bonanza has
been found. Gibson and his party will
spend the fall months in searching for this
claim, and Gibson believes he is in pos

outfit cost in the neighborhood OF $1,000,
and consisted of years supplies and
equipment Tor most thorough search in
the mountains.
The outgoing Weaverville stage was
crowded with eager gold seekers. Fifteen
passengers who were billed for Trinity
Center occupied every available seat, and
what spare room there was in the coach
was taken up with bundles of blankets,
trunks and supply cases. Stageload after
stageload of Trinity bound folks drove
up in rapid succession to the various ho-
tells, and as the line of coaches left the
northern limits of this city they resem bled
an early day circus en- route overland.
News from the Coffee Creek diggings
has been of the most encouraging charac-
ter to-day. A gentleman named Wolf.
direct from Morrison GuIch, arrived here
by private conveyance ;his morning. He
reports that the old-esta blished mines in
the Trinity mineral belt are finding diff

RUSH OF PRosPE ECToRs.
Spurred On to Trinity's Goldfields
by the Fresh Reports of VaIu-

REDDING, CAL, Aug. 16.-If the first
day Of TINS week is any criterion to go by
in predicting the rush to the new Coffee
Creek gold helds, it is evident that this
will be the iveliest week thus far ex-
perience since the gold excitement be-
gan. With The rising of the sun this
morning prospecto-s and miners were up
and stirring, and soon not less than five
d different outfits, with pack mules heavily
laden with picks, shovels and suppl es,
were vending their way northward
toward the Trinity Klondke. The news
that reached this city late last night re-
garding the rich quartz discovery just
across Morrison Gulch from the Graves
Blue Jay mine gave the excitement all
impetus and all through the moonlight
night crowds could be seen on various
street corners discussing the situation al
Coffee Creek and formulating plans for
various campaigns in the vicinity of the
late gold discoveries.
The first outfit to leave this nornn
consisted of eight men, five burros and
an equipment OF T fies and pistols tha,
would indicate an expedition fitted out
for the slaughter of Indians. On the
backs of the sturdy donkeys, however.
were evidences Of the proposed pros
pecting that will be done on the arrival
in the new fields. The party was headed
by the Taller boys, who gave up their
positions in Nevada and also a proposes
