THE-GRAVEL_MINES,——__ The Murchie gravel mines are located in the hill above the Lone Star, und the ledge runs into the gravel. “The gravel is rich,-and—in washing this season they have struck quartz boulders which yield large amounts of money. The gravel also pays well. THE MILL, Foret The—Murehie—mill is located on .

Copyricut Sotp.— We understand that Old Block of. Grass Valley has sold the copyright of his drama, the “Live Woman in the. Mines,” to an Eastern theatrical celebrity for the: sum of.$500. The piece was written some fifteen years ago, but was not brought conspicuously before the public until quite recently, The, sum of $500 is not bad-for even a ‘‘Live Woman ip the Mines.’~ We believe, however, that the purchaser hus made a better bargain than Old Block, but: the latter having had the ‘‘Woman’” on'his hands for fifteen years, like many other men, became tired of her and concluded to sell. Ir is found that the completion of: the famous, Stevens battery, at Hoboken,; New Jersey, will cost so much more’than the amount providéd for by the will of Mr, Stevens, that the heirs have discontinued the work, and thrown the matter into ‘the . courts for decision.
