Several years since a heavy debt hung over us; our mines were deserted by out miners for dis‘ taint districts and it Was predicted that the county would be depopulated. This was the condition of things four ,yearé ago. At the dullest time the great fire came destroying ‘thé Zounty buildings,-‘which had beeu built at immense cost, that tine the best Court House and jail in the State has been built and peid for, and the county is almest out of debt. The Treasurer to-day advertises that he will pay all scrip drawn upon the General Fund up to May 31. Scrip is worth 99 cents on the dollar, and io three months the county af. fairs will be carried on upon a cash basis,’ Next year the only taxes which need be levied is envugh to pny the current expenses, and besides having a county in the healthiest financial cundition, we willhave the lightes! taxes of any county in the State. The imwense debt paid within four years; the new buildings erected aud paid for, are the best evidences of the prosperity of the county. and the excelleuce of the wives,to which Nevada county owes all. The expenses of this county have been very heavy, and on. acceunt of losses by fire more.perhaps than must other counties. Therefore the health. ful state of finances can only be accounted for where the rapid progress of the development uf our mives is known. BREAKING Drrcnes.—We quoted an item frou the Muuntain Messenger yesterday, in relation to, the buruing of tue Magenta Flume, which was incorrect in several particulara, This flume was not burned. but one on the ditch oppasite Bowman's then fired the lumber which had been pluced upon the ground for repairs. We warn from a gentleman from the ridge, that there was no water in the ditch night before last, and it wae supposed the ditch had been again broken. The Magenta ‘flume is 18 inches deep, six feet wide and 150 feet above the ground. Guess Not.—The Grass Valley Union states that Ruby & Co., of the Crampton Theatrical Troupe, swindled‘all the printing offices where they had any printing done ia this part of the country. Guess not, Mr. Union, we did cunsiderable printing for thatoencern, and they did'nt get une cent whedd of us. Grass Vatcey Items,—From the Union we learn that 8. D. Leavitt was re-elected Chief of the Fire Departmeat on Mon. day..“Drunk and disorderly” cases are scatee inthe Justices’ Courts—no arrests for a whole day..The house of Mr. Mills, corser of Schou] and Walsh streets, was entered on Monday and $7 stolen. In a bureau drawer was $300, which the thief did not finds 2. Tue Opena.—The Howson Opera Troupe which is expected to visit thie city soon, are now performing at Sacramento, where they have made quite a bit. The Union says the members “have excellent voices and are equal to their undertakings.” Such a troupe ‘as this can always rely upon a govd support in Nevada. Social Party.—Mr. & Mrs. Fogeli, “f will give a Social Party on the evening of the 15th iastant. Tickets including supper, $250. Goed music will be furvished and & general invitation is extended. To Mmvers.:—Miners who want an ex' cellent article of Russian iron screens; are . teferred to the advertisement of the ‘Pio neer Screen works,” Sao Francisco, in today's paper. GoINe To Sea IN-A Bows.—Recently Captain John M. Hudson and Cuptain J. E. Fitch set sail in a very small boat from New York fur London. ‘The vessel is a full Tigged ship, four tons burdén, five feet beam, aod twenty-three feet long. She was named the “Red, White and Blue,” and ia the smaticst eraft of the kind ever set afloat on the Atlantic, gil Rexommaren.—H vv.

Its frame is composed of SULLD PLATKS. -NO jar can interlere with the harmony of its werkiny and no sudden shock can damaye ite machinery. Kvery piece is made and finished by machinery (itself famous for its noveity, as Well as for ite effiectiveness) and is theretore properly made. ‘Ihe MS apic watch is what a.) meciatiivu should be—AC: . CUKATR, SIMPLA, STRUNG AND EUONOMICAL, Lixcept some hign grades, too,costly for general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by women aud boys, _ such watches are composed of several hundred pivces screwed and civeted together, and require constant repairs tokeep them in any kind of oider. All persons Whu have carried *‘ancres,’’ -lepines’’ and **kunglish i’atent Levers,” are perfectly wel! awareof (he truth of: thie statement. At the beginuing of our enterprise, , more than ten years ayo, it was our firrt object to make @thoroughiy good low-pricea watch for the million, tu take the place of ‘these foreign impositions—the refuse of foreign factories— which were entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worthless every where. How well we have accomplished this’ may be understood from the fact, that after so many years of public trial, we now make MOREL THAN HALF OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITKD STATES, and that no others have ever given such universal satisfaction. While this department of our business is continued with increased facilities for perfect, work, we are at present engaged m the madiufacture of watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO CHRONOMETKY, unequalled by anything hitherto mad by ourselves and unsurpassed by anything made in the world” For this purpose we have the amplest facilities. We have erected an addition to our main buildings expressly for this branch of our business, and have filled it with the best workmen in our s®Pvice. Mew machines and applianees have been constructed, which pertorm : ‘ their work with consummate delicacy and exactneas. The choicest and most approved mate rials only are used and we challenge comparison between this grade of our work and the finest imporied chronometers. We do not pretend to sell our watches for less money than foreign watches, but we do assert'without tear of con-tradiciion that for theo woney our product is incomparably supgor. All our watches, of whatever gi are fully warranted and this warrantas le g604 at all timee agaifist us or our agents in all parts of the world. CAUTION.— The public are cautioned to buy.
