The Daily Transcript, NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, Friday, Dec. 98, 1881, 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. Jobn Hillis is the present Superintendent, and hia —— is 80 good be able to ba declaring . dividends Skilted "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 * him. 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. Nevada County specimens. cs Among the gold specimens from . _this vicinity that have recently been deposited in the State Mining Burean at Francisco, are the following: A’ specimen of arsenical pyrites with ,old.

Record of Oficial Vislis Lately Made by County Superinteadent » Wickes, ‘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-. pal. Schoo’s do not. need & close supervision. Intermittent visits on the part of a superintendent will ter-of the instruction, and whether his: plans are being carried out, The. selection ef good teachers ensu:es good teaching. A special constant overseer is not an urgent need, A principal of experience and scholarly attainments, may, with advantage toa district, map out the work of 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: First Primary, Church Hill, taught by Miss Aonoa. Trewhella, kas 70 pupils, First < Primary, Churek atta taught by Miss Kate Madigan, has ‘4d pupils, First Primary, Pike. Flat, . taught by Miss Ella Maddrill, thas 63 pupils, ~~ First Primary, Winehester Hill taught by Miss Lida ‘Satish, has 67 pupils. . Second Primary, Choire: Hill, tauyht by Miss Lizzie Popa, has 63 upils, Second Primary, Church street, taught by. Mise Clara Muncey, has 59 pupils. Second Primary, Boston Ravine, taught by Miss Abbie Michales,. has 76 pupils. There are 439 pupils in the primaty grades, averaging between 7 and § years of age, aod well ecarryring out che intent of the’ State, The Fatal ‘Shot. Indian Charlie, who died Wednesday of the wounds. received in the fracas at the campoodie on Monday nght, was buried yesterday. tice Robinson, who weut out yesterday to leara more about the affair of which there have beea so many and confiicting: statements, interviewed 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 quest in Charlie's case has been postponed for a day or sis iu anticipation {of Jack’s death. © ° Fatal Mining Aerident. L.

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. and _ when" the latter denied it euly of ApAACS CORLISS. Lady Who Used to Live Here. 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. him, and Dr. Buelow was immediate‘ly sent for. The physician arrived’ a moment after, and jast as Carley was breathing his last. ‘Phe remains were placed in, wagon and taken to: the family residence on Sacramen 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, Hé leawes a wife and five children— three gir's and two boys.
