SPENCEVILLE DISTRICT.
—_————
The Copper, Gold and Silver Claims
_ of that Rich Region.
Cheering news comes from Spenceville district in the south western
part of the county. The mining industry there is ina very healthful
assist in extensively «developing the
copper, gold and silvet claims that
are being prospected with. such good
results, but that will come in time.
The most extensive enterprise in
the locality. is the San Francisco
Copper mige, on Diy creek close to
Spenceville. About fifty men, of}
which perhaps one-half are Chinese,
ave employed im and around the
claim. The latter are prineipally
utilized in roastitig ores, an oecupation that it is claimed the whites do
not take to kindly as immediate contact with the sulpharous fugges is exttemely demoralizing to them. The
Mongolians, with all their toughness
cannot work at this branch-of _business steadily. When one of. them
legins te succumb to the fumes he
takes a vacation till the effects have
worn off? employing a subsitute to do
lis work in the meantime. The-ore
“is quarried out of a pit about 100 feet
deep, §9 tons more or less being ex~
tracted per day. It is hauled up to
the surface on an inclined railroad, a
stationary engine’at the top furnishAt the bottom of
this open pit a “shaft has been sunk
to.a depth of 100 feet for the purpose
_of allowing the ledge (which varies
“in width from 40 to 80 feet) to be.
prospected by drifting at a perpendicular distance of 200 feet below .
the grass-roots. The product of cop« per is from 39 to 37 tons a month.

"Two and a half dollars.’ day is paid
for the more common: kiads of work.
‘These are of course the white men’s
wages. .
C. C. Bittner is sinking a shaft on’
his copper claim-three miles further
up the greex. The tunnel already
in the hill shows a fine! body of ore,
Rut he wants to still’ more surely
dutetnrine the extent of the deposit
before making
extensive working. We understand
there are some Other parties interested in this property.. uae

The copper belt. extends” alii
the creck fora distance of four’ or
five miles above Spenceville, and p,
numerous locations are made on the
‘network of ledges that extend
through it. ‘
The gold-bearing ledges are mainAmong
those we have not heretofore mentioned 1g one which Messrs. Hiram
Davis, Patrivk MeCarty, H. Manwaring and:another gentleman. are
develdping at Albion Hill, three
miles down the’ ¢reek. The prose
pecting is being done with @ tuppel,
and some very rich indications bave
been met with,
Some ledges that assay well ig
silver have also been found in the
district, as noted from time to time
by the ‘Transcrert.
We believe it would pay tapitalists to igvest some of their spare
coin in seygral of the numerous
claims thereabouts. A wise combination of money, good business
management, mining experience and
musele ought to pan eat well in that
vicinage.

‘The Grass Valley primary ‘schools
are seven in number, and six of
them are taught byyoung lady
graduates of the local high school.
They are divided into first and
second primaries, and for the_iconvenience of young children, they
are held in buildings judiciously
distiibuted about the town, Some
might say, that schools so distributed would lack the care of the princi-.

its schogls in some. general outline,
and see it carried out.
The generous thoughtfolness of
the Grass Valley School Byard, iu
providing berths for" its advanced
pupils, calls for some oversight to
career. Teachers learn to teach in
teaching, as ducks learn to swim in
water, having alsv an instinct given,
Those educated here are better qiualified to teach California children than
many of the Icarned ‘‘Thebans” inported from the East; . better qualitied, because they know the ways
and the capacities of California’ ¢lvildr.n, peculiar to elimate, ‘surrounds,
ings, cros-breeding, and general
cosmopolitan character. iHence,
. the po icy that employshome-made'
teachers is good and worthy.
The primary schools of Grass Valley are distributed and taaght as.
follows:

fracas at the campoodie on Monday

tice Robinson, who weut out yesterday to leara more about the affair of
which there have beea so many and

several of the Indians who saw the
fight. They say that while Charlie
Jand Jack were banging away ateach
ether John Williams, the white hum:
mer who was Jack’s friend, shot, at
Charlie, from the rear, inflicting the
the fatal wound. Williams has not
yet been captured, in fact no very
earnest effort has been made to hunt
him. He is not thought to have
gone very far. Jack is just alive
and that’s all, The Coroner's ia

Abram Brookins Carley,’ sn oid
and well-known citizen of this place,
died suddenly yesterday afternooh of
aptplexy. About two o'clock he
had a quarrel with Albert Ryerson
who was engaged in washing. the
windows of W, H. Smith’s store on
Commercial street. He charged that
Ryerson maliciously threw some wateron him as he was walking by.

The Call gives. graphic account of
the wedding of Jobn D. Isaacs and
Miss E. L. Collins, which took place
on the 13th instant af St. . Paal’s
Church, Oakland. The bride is a
niece of Mrs, :A. D. Tower, of this
city, and for several years resided ‘in
our midst.
A large number of invited geste
assembled at the church at.noon, agd
at about half-past twelve o’clock the
heavy walking stick, cutting his lip.
Carley then walked along Cémmercial and Pine in an excited frame of
mind, till he came to the stairway
leading to Justice Robinson’s office,
into which he turned with the proba-’
ble intention of filing a complaint
against Ryerson, or perhaps to plead
guilty to the charge of battery as
some believe. As he reached. the
foot of the stairs he fell to the floor.

a moment after, and jast as Carley
was breathing his last. ‘Phe remains

Dr. Baelow says that the fatal attack was induced by excessive .
drinking, and was most likely accelerated by the excitement he labored
under as a result of the trouble with.
Ryerson.
Carley was a native of New York,
and aged about S4 years. He has
resided here for over # quarter of a
century, coming to this towa from
Grass Valley, When he first came
to California he engaged in mining,
and subsequently went inte the
saloon business, Of late years he
has been out of business, in poor
health, and in indigent circumstances,
relying principally for support upon
the pension of $56 a quarter to which
he was‘ entitled as a veteran of the
Mexican War: He was an exempt
member of the Nevada Light Guard,
