Year: 1863

-al. at the JooRNAL has again
..s......1 - cl lar appearance and dimen-
sons. Every article in its get-up is new-was
procured from the well-known Printers Furnish
ing House Of Painter & Co., San Francisco
We have endeavored to make it as nearly fac
simae of the old one as possible-think we have
succeeded tolerably well.


In making this new start we have received the
temporary assistance of friends who desired to
see Union paper sustained in Weaverville. To
this class of citizens alone indebted for the
comely appearance of the sheet we present We
are now in condition to fulfill obligations to pa
irons, and hope they will fulfill theirs. If we
do not furnish a better newspaper than before it
will be because the material is not to be had -
Send on your advertisements, business men.


SETTLrD-It was argued by many that John
P. Jones, Esq, present Sheriff ofthis county, and
Senator elect should resign the former Office be-
fore taking his seat in the State Senate In Or
der to satisfy himself Mr. Jones applied to Attor-
ney General Pxey for written opinion in the
matter, which was unhestatingly furnished
The Attorney General decides that he may hold
the Office Of Sheriff until the time specified by





his duties, and that his election as State Senator
in no way invalidates his right to hold the office
of Sheriff until the legal expiration of his term.
Mr.. Mccullough, the Attorney General elect, we
understand concurs in Pixley's opinion.


UNION HOTEL AND STAGE lIoUsE.-The adver-
tisement of Vogel & Paulsen, in this number of
the JOURNAL will give the public some idea of
what those gentlemen have been busying them
-, Al,
better satisfied to go and for themselves
though. We have been through the house-fnd
that the Union Hotel has more than double the
room it had of old-a new kitchen and we'll
lighted and spacious dining-room, fine parlor on
the second floor, double and single rooms, new
and clean beds and bedding, and in short every
thing to make sojourn there agreeable. More
over it is the Stage House. Try the Union, just
for the fun of it.


IT RANs-Evcn while we write, and in fact
has rained more or less since the beginning of
the week. We hardly think any body regrets to
see it it is the certain forerunner of brisk times
and plenty of money-just what we want to see.
The rain comes half month earlier than last
year. and it is safe to predict that profitable
mining season is ahead, Snow has fallen to
considerable depth on the surrounding noun
tans, and will increase while it rains in the val
ley. That's for summer use, mind you.


TIMELY FAvoRs.-We would not forget to re-
turn thanks to the many kind friends throughout
the county who aided us by furnishing lists of
subscribers in their respective localities In this
way we have been able to book the name of ev-
cry old county subscriber we believe as well as
most of those formerly sent to the East. This


1an I'D fha EnCfn
States whose addresses we have received or can
remember.


REBuILr.-We are informed that Bates Van
Matre have completed a splendid residence on
the site of the old one, destroyed by fire nearly
two months ago. In a short time they will have
everything in proper shape to accommodate
friends and patrons, of old. Between food
and fire our old friends have suffered more than
their share of misfortune within the two years
last past. Never despair, is their motto


RooFED IN.-John Martin has carefully cover
ed the brick fragments of the demolished jour
NAL Building to protect them from damage by
the inclement winter weather. Next Spring a
one-story brick will be erected on the old ste
anless some arrangement be previously made
which will destroy the present programme





not exactly prepared to state.


DELiNQuENTs You had better read the touch
ing appeal of county Auditor Griffin, to be found
among the new advertisements. You are given
just twenty days to settle your delinquent prop
cry tax for '63. At the expiration of that time,
if unsettled the District Attorney will do it at
an additional expense to you.


EAST Fork QUARTz.-We have it on good au-
thority that the gold quartz ledge discovered last
summer has turned out some wonderfully rich
rock of late 1t is the intention of the parties
owning it to incorporate in short time That's
the only way to properly develop its richness


Rus,Npss CHANoE.-What has lately been the
firm of Junkans Schuyler, is now simply Har-
ry Junkans He has bought Schuyler's interest
Schuyler goes East, Anything in the Hard
ware or Tin line, that there is use for, can be
found at Junkans east side of Main street.


TRINITY BnEwERY,-A change has been made
in the proprietorship of this concern. Morris
Condor having engaged in the Hotel business
has sold his interest to Mr.. Catalan, late OF or-
egon Gulch, who in company with Mr. Murphy
will conduct the business hereafter
