FS TERDRERTESY PEF RET OR MAS ans Gold Dust Shipment. .°~ The Grass Valley Union, in commenting upon an article published in . ‘ 1 /ered equivalent for ahy amouut of Friday's Tuanscgwt, very sensibly remarks that>~ “The objections of the banks and expressmen to giving the amounts 6 below are very unreascnable. Men who put up robberies of banks or of express boxes are always posted from other sources than the newspa. pers. to rob, but reticence preventsthe real resources of the county from being . understood abroad. gold shipments from this county, would do more to attract the attention . of capitalists and enterprising men, . than anything that could possibly be “done. Noone outside of the banking houses and expressmen, (and the latter know the aggregate per, week or mouth,) have any idea of the immense shipments. ‘Wells, Fargo & Co. object to having anything said, and of course itis impossible to obtain such information elsewhere. ‘Tho publication of such items by the Virginia City papers has helped that i. OWEN a imecmomeees mare a Letter From Virginia. Vineinia Crry, April 25th. Ed. Transcript: Although a little subsided, still the excitement in stocks is sufficiently intense to give us variety. The old crowds linger fondly, and prior to the réports appearing, indulge in lapd debate as to what the prices on the list will be, and after the reports are read, they talk and wonder,, why is this thus? If any one names a certain price for any steck, and the Board verifies his prephecy, he is looked upon as a wonderful man; he is asked slyly in to drink, and his opinion is consid-" your whisky, and ‘‘another Ccigaf to . putin your pocket.’’ In the language -of the curbstone, “things look a littleoff,” and as Sam Wyshenheim says, “if they only level an excessment it will make them come down,’’ but Reticence in such cases does . not deceive thé,men who may want . Board is off, another is on, and only . . what a day may bring forth. EveryThe publishing of* the amgunt of . thing is booming. Why,sir, I would its no use; up they go, and if one a fortune teller could keep posted on have made twenty-five thousand dollars since I wrote you. last, only I had no stocks to sell, and no money to buy. Fact sir. ss ODD FELLOWS’ HALL. . The Order, or rather a few of the Lodges, have joined hands, and purchased alot on C street, in. what is known as the burnt district, as this was the ground swept by the great fire of September last. They-paid $7,000for the lot, and propose to erect» building forty—feet front by one hundred and ten deep, to be four oe os AA Se iL RS I eA Pg s ’ éountry aniazingly, and the'non-publication of shipments here has materially retarded the prosperity of . our towns. If therg was any way of . reaching this matter we would remedy it without any hesitation whatever. We have seen thousands upon thousands of dollars, in dtist and amalgam, ready for shipment below, but at the same time have received the strictest injunction not te publish it, and under such circumstances could not give publicity to the fact. We hope the time will come when we can act as we would like in a matter which is of such great importance to the community at large. Sucker Flat Mines, The mines here are the wonder of all, as they are the richest gravel mines in the world. It costs enormously to open these claims, as they have to runa tunnel at least 2,900 feet to put their flume through. All their tailings are dumped into the Yuba river. They generally wash “¢som 40 to 125 days before they clean up, and thet: the result is something short of $100,000. The beauty of these mines is that the whole hill is all pay dirt from the tip-top to the bed rock, so they have no backs to strip before getting at the ledge like . quartz mines here. But few men are required to work these mines, so Sucker Flat will never be a very large place, As it is Mr. R.L. Crary owns about all of the town, He owns the only hotel, stable, theatre and saloon in the place, and is constantly building new houses. A rivalry «has sprung up between Smartsville and Sucker Flat. Smartsville is unjustly called the seat of the mines, when in reality there is not a mine-in-the place, but happens to be on the main road and one or two offices are located there, This is all that keeps up Smartsville, yet how often we hear ofthe ‘‘Smartsvillemines.’’ So bays a correspondent of the. Gazette. ~—_———_._--+.-—.— Grand and Trial Jurors. According to law, and in pursuance of notice given, the County Clerk, in presence. of the County Judge and Sheriff, proceeeded to draw from the ballot box the names of 24 persons, to-serve as Grand Jurors, with the following result: J. H. Dickson, E. P. Marselus, 8. Furth, E. R. West, Peter Johnston, J. J. Meacham;C. R. Hill, W. H. Crawford, Henry’ Powell; F. A. Potter, Eaton, John Webber, Jacob Charles ._Barker, W. C. Richmond,~A. B. Gregory, Geo. L/S, Bleteher Felix™Gillet, G. W. Hill, Watt, C. W. Smith and O.Ma -Twenty-four persons we _Crawn to serve as Trial Jurors, follows: 8. R. Goddard, S, Beverton, M. Cannon, L. H. Bickford,J, Bachtall, Louis Buhring, Jackson Calvert, W.D. Wood, Thos, Buckman, G. A. Cooper, M. C. Taylor, J. C, Coleman, 8. M. Crall, R. Leach, G. A. Church, R. B. Morrison, David Alexander, R. G.

The building will contain, beside Ledge rooms, Library, etc., a large dancing hall and several stores. The whole structure will cost, when completed, about forty thousand dollars, and will be a credit to the city. I would here remark that the Order isin a most flourishing condition, Every night new members join. Harmony reigns, and vigor and energy are the watchwords. THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES Came off Saturday, and though exciting, nothing occurred to bring discredit upon the party. About 1,200 votes were polled, and of these Ben Higby received a clean majority for Chief of Police. THE GREAT CONTEST, The Democrats have placed menin the field and have thrown down the gauntlet. The fight is opened in earnest. It is rumored that ‘‘Committee 601’? have some little interest in this fight, and as they wield a powerful influence in this city, their choice will come pretty near being elected=— While” but little” impor= tance attaches to our municipal election as such, still, should the Democersts carry the city, it would be heralded as a great victory, and the first gun in the Fall campaign. Mayor Currie will be elected in all probability. He has held the office for several terms and is very popular. But he will be the only Democrat elected, and let me say; his Democracy is not of the hard-shell order; : STAGING Is still a paying business, and while We miss-the fine teams, splendid ‘coaches and gallus Jehus of the olden time, the crowds of travelers are as great, and the owners of the lines know-how to impose on the public just as well as ever; in fact better, for it is downright extortion to charge $5 from here to Reno, especially when the stages run to Steamboat Springs only. And then they charge three cents a pound on all baggage, just because they have a monopoly, If an enterprising opposition was started, itis my firm belief Messrs. Woodruff & Ennor would be glad to reduce these figures to living rates, and since they will not do it willingly, IThope they will be forced to 'ere long. THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE Met on Saturday, and elected delegates and alternates to represent the State in the» Republican National Convention at Philadelphia. ‘They passed a series of resolutions indorsing Grant and his admistration, and instructing the delegates to vote for Grant, who is the choice of the whole NEVADANS e getting very plenty in town, and little crowd one sees is sure to put them at their eas to tell them ffom the “bloated stockholders."* _ BULLY KING Arrived here a few days tgo as the Bell Ringers,” ‘which troupe appears in this:city.ina few days. Billy visited the various engine houses, and ‘expressed a desire to hear the Virginia Bell Ringer, in’ which ‘he~was gratified a few. hours_later,. when an alarm was struck, and_Billy ‘took some stock in the ran—his first invéestment in Washoe.‘ JOHN NELSON Of San Juan, is around among the. Balls atid Bears, and taking notes generally. Being President of the Yuba Gravel Range Company, his visit no doubt has some bearing on the sale of the stock and commencing operations. This is a good ‘market and his stock will be gobbled up very rapidly, as our people have faith in the project and confidenee-in John Nelson. FIRE. A fire broke out in-a drug store a morning or two.ago, and as all the whistles blew, and all bells, even the great bell of the Cathedral, sounded the alarm, a grand rush resulted. The Department ‘vas on the ground and at work in five minutes after the alarm struck, some of the Companies being located. over a half mile from the fire, which was quick work even for Virginia. The fire was squelched before any great damage was done. ' Virernia, alin After Him With a Sharp Stick. Yes, yes, Mr. TranscnrptT~pretty good! ‘They're after him, but the trouble is: he’s out of the Way, ‘‘on the_road to Boston.”’ Well, it’s allowable, I bélieve, in chickendom, for either cock to crow, even if he’s whipped, after the other is out-of sight. But, seriously, my dear sir, -we who sit under these reverend gentlemen’s teachings, would like to know how they are going to review and overthrow Elder Grant’s. teachings, when.they did not hear him?-. Only one of them was there at all, and he but very little. And again: If they are really, as they claim, watchmen on Zion’s walls, how can they justify themselves in allowing us to go, night after night, to listen to a teacher of dangerous heresies, the consequences-of which are to run ‘on through the endless hereafter, and not so much as go with us and improve the opportunity, so fairly. offered, to state, objections, and, if able, show up the wrong and save their flocks from the error and danger, How is this? It don’t look just right. However, let the effort be made. _We will listen attentively, WE Want Truta! Will they allow, as Elder We shall see. _ ONE oF THE ‘‘FLocK,”’ ><>Roll of Honor.

Wrrnovr Lecs, Wirn Ove Anm axnp a Sounp Heav.—The Chicago Times has the follewing: There died in Washington ceunty, Pennsylvania, afew days since, at the age of 75 years, 4 man who may well be said to have achieved success in life under difficulties. , When he was 13, years of age, he lost.the use of both . legs and his’ right arm, which were shriveled up by rheumatism and left . without power of motion. His usual . position was lying on his back, and . in this apparently helpless attitude he taught school, officiated as Justice of the Peace—which office he held for thirty-five years—and conducted a multifarious business, calling for continual activity. Thus he’ accumulated a large fortune, under disadvantages that would have made a pauper of any man of“ordinary will and energy. But -his — greatest achievement is yet to—be recorded. When he was about 25 years of age, he ran away witha young woman and married her against the wishes of her parents, and to crown all, he became a father in due course, of thirteen children. The name of this hero was William W.-Hawthorn, and it is‘a damaging reflection upon the elected Governor, Kyicut or. Matta -Miye—Ricu StrikEi—The Grass Valley Union of yesterday says: The steam machinery of the Knight of Malta mine has been in operation for~ several days, and Thursday night the water
was taken out of the shaft, Yesterday morning the miners in sinking on the ledge found the most beautiful rock, filled with free gold and splendid stlphurets. . The ledge has fine walls and is from two to.three feet thick in the shaft. The specimevs exhibited in town caused-_asensation. The Knight cf Malta is west of the Coe, and is on a line-with the Idaho, Eurekaland Coe mines. The indications are that a splendid . mine will be opened in Grass Valley. 25a EEE ED DIED.
