. a Pag ble ‘season of F the year ‘ ospecting either for ‘quartz. or gravel, and-all who'are idle would do well to get out on the hills and try to. strike something that will .pay. There are large districts: fn the county yet 4, and one man has as fair a-chance: to ‘“esrike it rich” as. other: Even in the older mining aids Poe, are rich ‘spots ‘and unopened claims. which only need enterprise ‘and industry, backed ‘hy a little capital to open _ Probably no locality has been worked for gravel =. than thé claims about this city, t mention an instance in peel last year. “Every dollar-and ev~ ; ‘spent ‘in the ‘developral resources of the county, will resultin the ultimate benefit of the community and of the party engaged. “It is claimed that. there is ertain of making the strike, but in this respect other businesses.are little: seis al ee Every busl~ whieh men venture money te the bide, without a certainty of getting it back. The farmer who sows his grain and the merchant who. buys @ stock of “goods, ‘make ventures which may result in success or failure. Crops fail and stocks of goods become invaluablé; and in’al. most all kinds of business there is un~~ @ertainty. Tlie prospector who finds his gravel pan out well, or who strikes a'‘lead of quartz giving every evidence ‘of richness, takes no more chances in making it, than men often do in other business matters. All kinds of business requires determined earnest_labor, constant attention and a knowledge of how to conduct it.’ Combine these requisitions ina miner, give him a pick and shovel and turn him loose in Nevada county, and he will make a living toa certainty, and will be mére likely to get a fortune than in any other busi« . : ness. Let those: “who doubt, xamine. . the income returns of the State, and after finding who make the largest, ask how they got their start, and from what sources they now obtain the lar— geet profits ? Grass VALLEY [TeEMs.—We clip the following from the National: Seventy _ tons of rock from the old dump pile of the Allison Ranch mine,recent] y worked in the mill, yielded $700.The new shaft of the Hope Gravel mine on Alta Hill, has been sunk 140 feet, and will strike the lead at a depth of 90 feet more. Men are now at work putting up the pumping machinery, all of. whieh is'on the ground. Théfe will be two Ilinch pumps. driven by an engine of 12-inch cylinder, with a 14fot fly wheel. It is expeeted that the lead will be struck, all the machinery put up, and pay dirt conmenced to be taken out, by the firstday of June. — The following are from the Union : . “Old Bloék”” arrived in Chieago on Wednesday, in nine days from Grass Valley. The people of ike Valley are spoiling fora hand organ and monkey show. The North Star mine is still taking out rock which rons up in the thousands per ton, "The western stopes and drifts show that the good rock j is not failing. Grass Valley is hungering and thirst. ing after a homestead association. A youNG couple of Rockport, Maine while courting, walked out together arm in arm and fell through a hole in the sidewalk, each breaking’ a leg. Their fall set them up in the world,a jury awarding them a verdict of $12,000 against the town. _. (P AccErTED,—The Grass.

On account of the lateness of -the season, 8 o'clock comes a little after dark, and many of the guests did not get in until nearly ¥. By a« provision of the} Aiea tae the Club dancing can continue from 8 to 12 o'clock, and it ts heling anak to turn back the clock an hour than_to change the constitution, the young men resorted to the latter expedient tothe great jcy of the dancers. The band, consisting of a violin, piano, clarionet, cornet_ and base viol furnished excellent ‘music, . the entire programme having been previously arranged. About ‘seventy couples were present, the ladies predominating. Quite a delegation were present.from abroad, and all enjoyed the dance, The young men have reason to be proud of their success, and those who attended are under obligations to them for an evening of pleasure. “WE learn from the Railroad Commis-,. Or 22d, whe have just returned ‘from the examination of the eastern end of the: Central Pacific Railroad, that on Tuesday evening thirty-six miles of track remained to be laid to complete the connection. between the two roads. Preparations were made for Jaying ten miles of track yesterday, which would be the longest stretch of railway iron ever Jaid in one day. There is still some pretty heavy grading to be done, and as the Central has purchased the right of way from Monument Point to Ogden Cfty, and must construct the road to that place, the connection cannot be looked for before the 1st of next month. The Commissioners have been notified that the last section of the road. will be ready for their inspection on the 10th’ ,of May. ~—PETER's Mustcan Montity— have received the April number of ~. ters’ Musical Monthly. This excellent olio of instrumental and vocal music is just the thing for those who desire the latest and best scngs and dances arranged for the piano. Among the instrumental pieces in this number, we notice the “Forest Glade March,” “Den_mark Rose Waltz,” and “Golden Sunset Mazourka,” The subscription price of the Magazine is $3 per year, and it is published in New WY ork. DARING conan AT RoBBERY.—On Thursday last, about 9 o'clock in the . evening, six masked men entered the store of F. Burkhalter & Co., who are also Pacific Union Express Agents, at Truckee. At the time there were five men in the store, and these the robbers covered with their’ revolvers. One of the persons in the store,a Mr. Brown, arose fromthe chair in which he was sitting, and struck one of them over #he head, who tired‘and fled. Another one also fired at the clerk, Mr. Nickerthe erockery. It was certainly a most daring attempt at-robbery.
