Uncommon title from this California gold rush town... Printed on yellow paper...

Item # 715514 ·
WEEKLY TRINITY JOURNAL, Weaverville, California, Aug. 14, 1875  A rare issue from this town in Northwest California.
Weaverville is a historic California Gold Rush town. Located at the foot of the current Trinity Alps Wilderness Area, Weaverville was once home to approximately 2,000 Chinese gold miners and had its own Chinatown. Logging and tourism were the economic mainstays of Weaverville for many years. 
This issue is particularly unusual in that it is printed on yellow "necessity paper". Such paper is non-typical newsprint used when the normal supply of paper is not available, usually due to weather and transportation issues. And usually affected are smaller towns in remote areas where weather & transportation can be seasonal problems. This paper is somewhat thinner than typical newsprint.
Complete in 4 pages, never bound nor trimmed with very wide margins, news agent's stamp at an upper corner, in surprisingly very nice condition.
