BLACK SAND OF TRINITY.
Trinity Journal: Oscar II. Hershey
in a letter to the Redding Free Press
from Bragdon under date of October
Nth, has the following to say regard
ing the sands of the Trinity:
In the course of my wanderings
about among the mining districts of
Trinity County, I have encountered a
project which is known as the Trinity
River Bars Dredging proposition. 1t
appears that, some months since. a
well-known mining man, j. Wess
Moore, for two years resident of the
Trinity Valley, discovered, by actual
prospecting and placer mining work,
that the alluyial gravels in the Trinity
River III the vicinity of Bragdon con-
tain not only considerable values in the
fine gold widely scattered through the
deposit, but also in the black magnetic
sand SO plentiful in this district, and
about the same time a number of East
ern capitalists conceived a desire to
acquire possession Of a few miles Of
these river deposits along the Trinity,
and work them by means of dredger.
A long time ago, in what biologists
call the Miocene period, a great river
flowed across the mountainous country
of what is now Trinity County. In
general, its course conceded with the
main Trinity River of the present day.

and in the Weaverville basin.
Everyone who is acquainted with
the history of mining in Trinity Coun-
ty in the early days, knows that all
the gulches that cross or in any way
cut into the gravels of this old Miocene
river channel have been rich in coarse
placer gold. Those who mine in this
region speak of "slugs rather than of
"colors," nuggets of $50 to 81, 500 hav-
ing been secured not unfrequently. All
the evidence indicates that this old
channel deposit has been rich in gold

POOR OLD MISSOURI.

Again this year at the Missouri
Legislature, a representative from
Howard county, named Kirby, in
troduced bill asking for separate
railroad Accommodations for colored
and white people, providing also for
equal equipments for both races in
the palace and sleepers, also making
it fine for any conductor to allow
them to ride in the same coach to-
gether. We were little surprise
that Missouri has some old blind
prejudice mossback living or at least
to send them to the legislature in
this age. About 6 years ago, when
ye editor was teaching in Missouri,
some narrow minded mossback in
troduced similar measure, even then
that poor man was laughed to scorn
by the intelligent representatives, as
he only had 13 votes for it. We
do not believe that the new Mssou-
ri, the thinking broad minded class
Of legislators will even consider such
an erroneous measure as that. The
two races have always got along
nicely together, and the Northern
sentiment of right and equal justics
is too strong for such backward step.
If MI. Kirby wishes separate cars
let him 60 away South where those
disgraceful and undesirable condi-
tons exist now, but away with such
nonsense in the North.

GOVERNOR. ELLERBkE'
ON LINCHING.
South Cardinals Governor
Speaks Plainly to His
1a Friends.

In addressing the Carolina General
Assembly at Columbia on the 10th
Governor Ellerbee alluded to the crime
of lynching in terms which have at
racted general attention.
We have always held that the best
class of white people in the south were
sufficiently God-fearing and law abld.
ing to deplore the many outbreaks of
mob violence and ]awlessness which
have resulted in the inhuman sacrifice
of so many Negro lives. We believe
so yet But the charge has often been
made that while they have not been
active participants with, they have been
silent supporters of the mob. TO this
charge their inaction has given much
of the color, if not also. much of the
essence, of truth. &c.,
The recent atrocious reign of vio-
lence in some of the United States is
attracting the attention Of the civilized
world, and huma anitarians every where
are asking, How can the United States
wage war on professed human prin.
ciples in foreign lands, while within
her own borders crimes are com mittee
against the Negro which would bring a
blush to the cheek of Sici]ian bandit
who murders traveller with a prayer
to the Virgin. This question is being
asked with pertinent pertinacity, and
the time comes on apacs when this
country must stand before the bar of
Christian sentiment and plead to the
stern indictment.
We welcome with JOY all signs, that
anyweere in this country, there is an
approach to a realization of the fact
that lynching must cease, and cease
soon. The Negro will not stand lynch
ing much longer and moral sentiment
everywhere is even now demanding a
that halt be called.

Temperatures of Boiling Water.

Water boils at different tempera-
lures, according to the elevation above
the sea level. In London water boils
practically at PIP degrees F., at Mu-
mich, in Germany, at 2o91s degrees; at
the City of Mexico, in Mexico, at 200
degrees, AMI in the Himalayas, at an
elevation of $4,000 feet above the level
Of the sea, at 1S0 degrees. These diff
ferences are caused by the varying
pressure of the atmosphere at these
points. In London the whole weight
of the air has to be overcome. In
Mexico, 1000 feet above the sea, there
are 1000 feet less of atmosphere to be
resisted; consequently less heat is re-
quired, and boiling takes place at a
lower temperature. ...,.
