MRS. HEATH, Bradford,
MADAM:-We say a one-pound ibar
of Harmless soap price Sc goes as far
as two Sc cakes of any other soap In
the world. The two &c. cakes together
weigh a pound and half.
Then we stop and let you be judge.
We let you prove it. Go to any grocer
and get tive-pOund package of Harm
less soap for 46c. Use it up. Then
decide. If you say that one bar of
Harmless does not go as far as two &c.
cakes of any other soap, that settles it.
Simply go back to the grocer and tell
him to refund you 15c. and he will do
it, because we authorize him to do it.
That will make five pounds of Harm
less soap cost only sc. a pound. You
will be ahead just 15c. worth of soap,
because sc. soaps weigh only three
quarters of pound. y Il
You are both the Judge and the jury.

CARRVILLE, CAL, Aug. 20. - The

growth to-day, and thirty or forty recruits
arrived at the lower end with the usual
picturesque var ETY. OF pack bearers, pack
rules and all sorts OF vehicles. One big
four-horse freighting wagon, two DAYS
from Redding. deposited crowd of eleven
from Oakland al the mouth of Coffee
Creek.
Six guns and eleven picks and shovels
struck out from the mass in all directions
and all sJrts Of big and little bundles and
packs constituted bed rocks. When thew
unloaded at Trinity Center for refresh
ments five languages were heard in the
babbe from the strangers and the resi-
dents. The day brought its share of
stories of strikes.
The chief one in point Of sublimity is
about the city editor of San Francisco
paper and a fcur-ounce piece of unclean
rock. j. NJ. Carroll, journalist and tens
derfoot, got here the other day to rest
amid the boom, and yesterday went a
mile or two back into the hills and located
the Tom Cook claim for luck on the big
porphyry dixie on which the B lie Jay nd

son Guch are located.
1t is the same dixie that puts out on the

Increase of the Excitem ent Among
Those Who Are Heading for
Trinity.

BEDDING, CAL, Aug. 20.-This has
been another day of intense excitement
here over the Coffee Creek gold rush and
hundreds of people have fitted out and
left here during the past twelve hours.
Some seventy-five prcspectors arrived
from the south on this mornings over
land train and about thirty more came UP
on the local this evening. 1t has been a
great day with stores and hotels and thou
sands of dollars worth of outfits have been
put up.
One of the largest outfits yet sent out
was taken to the mines this afternoon by
John Middleton. 1t consisted of a four
horse outfit filed with provisions, etc..
and fourteen prospectors perched on top
All along the Sacramento Valley there is
a general exodus this way. Two large
outfits from Gridley arrived here this
evening. They were typical prairie
schooners loaded down with prospectors.
They will have travelled 100 miles by the
time they arrive at Trinity Center. Min
ers in the mines around Oroville, Butte
County, are leaving for Trinity.
The rich strike reported yesterday a bove
the Tower House, is even OF a greater
magnitude than at first stated. The strike
is rich quartz mine and was made by
Alex Gavin, E. Morse anc W. A. Hartt of
Los Angeles. who arrived here to-day tor
supplies and who will return i'm m ed lately
and develop their mine. They have taken
out several nuggets varying from $5 to $25
and the dirt laying on the bedrock is ex-
ceedingy rich.
Reports from Salmon River, just beyond
Coffee Creek, tonight give an account of
rich discovery on the banks of that
stream. A large party of prospectors
were looking for gravel mine and found
a deposit that yielded on an average 81 so
to the pan. When it is said that 100 pans
