Bhe Daily Transcript . NEVADA CITY, CAL. Tuesday, Pec. 7, 1875. = To. “Non Collegiate. ’”It seems oursuggestion that there ought to be an increased interest in school among the boys of this place, attracted the attention of a person who choses to address ns an impolite note ander the name of “Non Collegiate.” Ordinarily we wouid not. stop to notiee, much to reply, to an avonymons writer, but the tone of the note se plainly indicates a misunderstanding of our motive, inalluding to the subject we did on the 4ch, that we deviate less “from our usdal custom in “this instance. First, we will premise that the writer of the note dues not belong to the cliss we referred: to. When we stated that studious habits Was not a distinguishing trait of the young men of ous acquaintance, we did not refer to meu, but to school boys, or young men and boys . who still have time and opportunity to improve themselves --to go ‘to school. Itis true it is the misfortune of some to be compelled to en-gage in-work fora tivélineod—before4 their school days are finished, but Most parents will sactifice evefything and underRO every privation to keep their children in school, provided they -see them improving their time, And even those who are compelled by poverty to quit school, can, by studivus habits, acquire a good educaeation by self culture. To such bo$s, and to ‘Non Collegiate,” we refer to the circumstances surrounding the early years of Vice President Henry Wilson, President Lincoln, Benjamiu Franklin and a thousaud other names that adorn the pages of history, who have made themselves illustrious by self effort, and not by the assistance of parents or friends. The poverty ‘of which ‘Non Collegiate” complains, and which he thinks prevents boys-from going to higher Schools, will not hold good. Any ambitious boy who desires an edu eation, can, by hard study and active labor, work his way through college before he is twenty-five years of age, and have acquired habits in the meantime that will guarantee his future success in life. ‘The growing men of this State are not all included among the list of those whose parents are wealthy; on the contrary, they are generally those who have worked their way up in spite of adversity, Poverty in youth is no crime, nor in the long run is it a disadvantage, for, while laboring to overcome its embarrassments, the youth acquires self reliance, and‘a consciousness of power in himself that is worth more than money. . Young men, and ‘‘Non Collegiate” too, if he choses to class himself among the number, will discover ere long ‘that the pursuit of pleasure, the blandishments of society, and the luxury of idleness will not compensate them for wasted opportunities, When we occasionally remind them of the fact, it is not done inacarping spirit, and not with a desire to misrepresent them, but to stimulate them to active efforts for self improvement. The near future is pregnent with success for them if they but prepare themselves for it. Schools are open to them, good books are within their reach, and the best wishes of friends will attend their efforts. The whining complaint of our correspondent that ‘“‘boys are nobody without the almighty dollar,’’ is not founded on faci, for the most respected young ten in the country are those who have struggled up from poverty toan ‘honorable position, and have commandéd respect from all by their unceasing rts. We repeat in the kindest possible manner, that there should be more enthusiasm among the young men here in efforts to im_ prove themselves mentally, —_ 0 eee Those Capitalists.

Really, I was not aware that right bordering onr town: weré rich, pasturages -belonging to good Uncle Sam; bat Rusticus says so, and’having been there, he ,.knows fhis being the case, 1 wouderwhy Rusticas and bis friends are opposed to the passage of an ordinance, which, far from contemplating the annibilation of*our dear cows, aims precisely at send. eg them to grass in those very pasturages alluded to by friend Rusticus. Andas most of those poor people owning cows live close to the ecily limits, which Riusticus is kina enough to Jet us know, it will be no trouble for theny to turn their edws tltogether on Unele Satm’s domain after this<.cow ordinance will be passed.

As early asthe year 1853, I ‘located ground there, and in 1854 bought as much more, together with a water ditch running to the Town alk, from Sohn Price,;forthe sum of cne hundred and’ twenty dollars, May 10th, 1854, I bought from M.’ Tracy & Co. The ground adjoining where F, Beatty & Co. are at work, I bonght of George D. Roberts, Jane 10th, 1862, for one hundred doilars, and from I. J. Rolfe his interest in the same,, March 3d, 1873. This man whom I bought oat, in six weeks’ time tcék out several bygn-{ dred dollars, and*500 feet above where*be worked, I huve from 12 to 15 feet of gravel, wita the bed rock pitching. I feel confident thatif I could -yet to,the bottom the gravel would yield an ounce t6 the pan. If Mr. Brow#, of the South. Yuba Canal Company, would ket us have two or three hundred~inches of water it would make our niine-far better stock than—I was going to say Fryer, but I won’t. It would be: better than railroad stock at all events.* : : 4 Bye Wining at French Corral, Ep. Transcerpr:. Since. your visit to the Milton Co.’s tunnel, at this place, some time ago, the foreman has been doing his “level best’’ to outdo his predecessor in making feet’ ip’ the progress of the work in . hand, with the Ingersoll drills. Although, he has been averaging more work of tunnel per month than the Prefessor did. The past month’s work reached the handsome distance of one hundred and twenty feet, the greatest progress evér made in the construetion of said work since its commencement. The rock averages in hardness aboyt the same, having at times, bars.of a sptingy and tough n&ture; while at other times the rock drills hard and breaks large and well. While the present foreman, Mr. Fenton, has succeeded in the construction of the greatest: amount of tunnel by twelve or fourteen feet, he also reduced the pay roll of. the work for the same length of time, over three hundred dollars. This was probably owing to the fact that he had no ‘foes to punish or friends to reward.’” The ‘greatest progress ‘claimed by the former forerman was . places for both pleasare and profit. [ao thut we.widely differ, aud a ramble around town will soon convinte. auyone that.the owners of those vicious cuws,\wbho are vicious . becanse they ure starving, have no os their Well; friend Rusticus, it is all the reverse; indeed, more than improvements whatever on premises, a score of those people tha cultivate their ground and feed their cows, sigued thatpetition to our Board of ‘Trnstees for the passage of a cow ordinance, yes a As to Uncle Sanmi’s pasturage bordering this town, niné months in the year it is a barren*land upon which a cow will get fat, if she can, on tar-weed and pine leaves; and if Rusti+ cus would only, in the Summer. months, go there himself in all his yerdancy, he might very well meet with a fate similar to that of Jonas of old, though a cowis not a whale. Be sure that when tbe hoodlum cow’s inilk is very creamy, that the poor pet bas been. feasting on high diet and such delicacies as our beautiful places can onty-afford-a cow thie year round. Iwill adi for the benefit of Rusticus, that all cows are born good and genteel, but they will be‘come vicious if not fed. As to the so-called poor people that own those vicious cows, if I would here publish their names I would, I reckon,greatly astonish Rusticus’ rusticity. Before closing up this letter, as some persons have been, a few days before the Board of Trustees took a vote on this cow ordinance, to the place of business of some of the latter, threatening to quit dealing with them if they would vote for the ordinance, I willremind such people that iatimidating a public officer in the official discharge of his duty is not only a mean and unjust act, buta punishable offense, too, and to which the . attention of the District Attorney might very properly be called. : Bovi.uvs, Encounter with a Chicken Thief. Last Sunday evening Mrs. Daimon Who lives on Lost Hill, near, the” Gold Tunnel mine, went to church, leaving the house in charge of her son, a young man aged about 21 years. foranap. I: was not long after that he heard a noise in the direction of the chicken house, which is about 40 feet distant. He went toa window and looked out, but could see nothing although the noise continued. He them raised the windew, and as he did soa man stepped cut of the chicken honse. Daimion grabbed a shot gun which was standing near, and, pointing it out of the window, demanded of tke man what he wanted. Without answering he pulled a . pistol and fired at Daimen, the ball taking effect in the side of the house. He then started to run and Daimon let drive at him the contents of the shot gun, but whether any of it hit him or not he could not tell. It’s a pity the thief escaped without being shot in such a manner as to disable him, It is rumored that Boss Tweed has escaped his ‘keepers, and is again . breathing the pure air of heaven and enjoying his liberty. If the rumor count for his escape and the reason { therefor, .at French Corral by the Milton Co. Soon ufter she had left} he put out the lights and laid down is true the most stupid will easily ac. ‘Now, sir, if there is any: honor in working and trying to opensup a large section of country, I claim some of it. Thave had a hydraulic on thee laim three times, and though I have failed and been badly Ueaten in tuy efforts toopen and develop the mine, I never thought of giving it up. Fam going to “fight it out if it tikes all Sammer.”’ I think there are two channels on this. ridge. -¥ have worked in two places. On’ the lower end the gravel is white or light colored, and looks the same as the gravel in Amos Laird’s o'd diggings. The upper end is-red ashes and large blue cemented gravel, Jike the Alta shaft or the Biue Banks in Downieville. The channel forks at the lower end of our ground, one running to the tol} road, the other straight down to Slate creek, There is a streak that crosses the ridge in which, after a rain, you could get two bits to thé pan. Dear sir, if you will give this place in your. valuable paper it will put me right before the public. Yours resp’tly, D. McKeon. __— Oo oe Rich Ground. The fifleen stamp cement mill on the French Corral claims, owned by the Milton Company, was run last month for 22 days on cement,: and the result of the clean-up at the end of the run was $4,550, or on an ayerage of $200 perduy. The expense of getting out and milling the cement was about $50 per day, leay. ing $150 per day profit, It is for the purpose of tapping this body of ground that the tunnel.is being run When completed it will allow ths: whole of the pay cbannek. cement and all, to be washed through it,. The cement is about 75 feet in thickness, but there has never been over 25 feet in depth worked. It is reasonable-to suppose the bottom will be much richer than that at present worked. The expense of the tunnel, which will -be very heavy will not: require a very long ran to pay for it when everything is ready for work, judging from the value of the top ground. New Society, Grass Valley is-trying to rival this place ia the organization of societies, They have become jealous of the success of the different societies here, They have only had one ‘society there for a long time that proved a success, and at which there was“a regular attendance of members. The place of meeting has generally been at Dan Holbrook’s, and they call it the Pedro Society. . The Union has so frequently reminded the residents of their shortcomings in the matter that a new society has now been organized, called the “Pizzle Plum Gum Society."” Whenever three or four come together. they organize a meeting and go through the order of exercises. We have no doubt the. new society will prove a success, Tr any one has afresh baby this morning, they can post this on the cradle, without extra charge: He came witha r 3 He kicued with og. — . tor His nose was a pug, ° Like the exr of a jug, : And his how! like a uight caterwaul, .

People, when they are going to buy, generally. go where they know the goods they want are sept, and where they think they can be had forthe least money. This they usually discover through advertisements, To prove that adver. tisements are generally read, we cite dred aftieles left here doring the past year which had’ been found, ouly one failed to find an owner after being advertised. The man who means to do a large business and sell at living rates makes the fact generally known. He who does not want trade bad enough to solicit it, doey not deserve success, and seldom meets with it. e eda 3 Minister to China. {t is stated that Governor Pacheco has received a hint from Wahington that he may receive the appointP. Avery, deceased. We believe the Governor to possess all the qualifications attributed to him, but as the office is regarded as a political one, and as his political record is not-exactly inaccord with the sentiments of strict party men, we are of the opinion that his pole will not be long enough to reach the persimmon. He will, no doubt, receive the assistance of Senator Booth at headquarters, but we imagine the power behind the throne will be Senator Sargent, and it is reasonable to presume he will recommend-no man who has, during the past .year, attempted to disintegrate-the Republican party in, this State. Crtta LoGan writes from New -York to the Hartford Courant: There is a ing in this city who was once engaged to be married to Joha Wilkes Booth, but broke off the match and requested a return of her letters, which herefused, Her story g0es that she never heard directly after his reported death, when & man culled at her house at dusk; She opened the door herself.

Really, I was not aware that right bordering onr town: weré rich, pasturages -belonging to good Uncle Sam; bat Rusticus says so, and’having been there, he ,.knows fhis being the case, 1 wouderwhy Rusticas and bis friends are opposed to the passage of an ordinance, which, far from contemplating the annibilation of*our dear cows, aims precisely at send. eg them to grass in those very pasturages alluded to by friend Rusticus. Andas most of those poor people owning cows live close to the ecily limits, which Riusticus is kina enough to Jet us know, it will be no trouble for theny to turn their edws tltogether on Unele Satm’s domain after this<.cow ordinance will be passed. Moreover, Rustitus pretends that those poor people referred to are the producing elusses of this town, wud that they cultivate their . Wiz. Evrvon: The wise men of the Cormamunicated.

As early asthe year 1853, I ‘located ground there, and in 1854 bought as much more, together with a water ditch running to the Town alk, from Sohn Price,;forthe sum of cne hundred and’ twenty dollars, May 10th, 1854, I bought from M.’ Tracy & Co. The ground adjoining where F, Beatty & Co. are at work, I bonght of George D. Roberts, Jane 10th, 1862, for one hundred doilars, and from I. J. Rolfe his interest in the same,, March 3d, 1873. This man whom I bought oat, in six weeks’ time tcék out several bygn-{ dred dollars, and*500 feet above where*be worked, I huve from 12 to 15 feet of gravel, wita the bed rock pitching. I feel confident thatif I could -yet to,the bottom the gravel would yield an ounce t6 the pan. If Mr. Brow#, of the South. Yuba Canal Company, would ket us have two or three hundred~inches of water it would make our niine-far better stock than—I was going to say Fryer, but I won’t. It would be: better than railroad stock at all events.* : : 4 Bye Wining at French Corral, Ep. Transcerpr:. Since. your visit to the Milton Co.’s tunnel, at this place, some time ago, the foreman has been doing his “level best’’ to outdo his predecessor in making feet’ ip’ the progress of the work in . hand, with the Ingersoll drills. Although, he has been averaging more work of tunnel per month than the Prefessor did. The past month’s work reached the handsome distance of one hundred and twenty feet, the greatest progress evér made in the construetion of said work since its commencement. The rock averages in hardness aboyt the same, having at times, bars.of a sptingy and tough n&ture; while at other times the rock drills hard and breaks large and well. While the present foreman, Mr. Fenton, has succeeded in the construction of the greatest: amount of tunnel by twelve or fourteen feet, he also reduced the pay roll of. the work for the same length of time, over three hundred dollars. This was probably owing to the fact that he had no ‘foes to punish or friends to reward.’” The ‘greatest progress ‘claimed by the former forerman was . places for both pleasare and profit. [ao thut we.widely differ, aud a ramble around town will soon convinte. auyone that.the owners of those vicious cuws,\wbho are vicious . becanse they ure starving, have no os their Well; friend Rusticus, it is all the reverse; indeed, more than improvements whatever on premises, a score of those people tha cultivate their ground and feed their cows, sigued thatpetition to our Board of ‘Trnstees for the passage of a cow ordinance, yes a As to Uncle Sanmi’s pasturage bordering this town, niné months in the year it is a barren*land upon which a cow will get fat, if she can, on tar-weed and pine leaves; and if Rusti+ cus would only, in the Summer. months, go there himself in all his yerdancy, he might very well meet with a fate similar to that of Jonas of old, though a cowis not a whale. Be sure that when tbe hoodlum cow’s inilk is very creamy, that the poor pet bas been. feasting on high diet and such delicacies as our beautiful places can onty-afford-a cow thie year round. Iwill adi for the benefit of Rusticus, that all cows are born good and genteel, but they will be‘come vicious if not fed. As to the so-called poor people that own those vicious cows, if I would here publish their names I would, I reckon,greatly astonish Rusticus’ rusticity. Before closing up this letter, as some persons have been, a few days before the Board of Trustees took a vote on this cow ordinance, to the place of business of some of the latter, threatening to quit dealing with them if they would vote for the ordinance, I willremind such people that iatimidating a public officer in the official discharge of his duty is not only a mean and unjust act, buta punishable offense, too, and to which the . attention of the District Attorney might very properly be called. : Bovi.uvs, Encounter with a Chicken Thief. Last Sunday evening Mrs. Daimon Who lives on Lost Hill, near, the” Gold Tunnel mine, went to church, leaving the house in charge of her son, a young man aged about 21 years. foranap. I: was not long after that he heard a noise in the direction of the chicken house, which is about 40 feet distant. He went toa window and looked out, but could see nothing although the noise continued. He them raised the windew, and as he did soa man stepped cut of the chicken honse. Daimion grabbed a shot gun which was standing near, and, pointing it out of the window, demanded of tke man what he wanted. Without answering he pulled a . pistol and fired at Daimen, the ball taking effect in the side of the house. He then started to run and Daimon let drive at him the contents of the shot gun, but whether any of it hit him or not he could not tell. It’s a pity the thief escaped without being shot in such a manner as to disable him, It is rumored that Boss Tweed has escaped his ‘keepers, and is again . breathing the pure air of heaven and enjoying his liberty. If the rumor count for his escape and the reason { therefor, .at French Corral by the Milton Co. Soon ufter she had left} he put out the lights and laid down is true the most stupid will easily ac. ‘Now, sir, if there is any: honor in working and trying to opensup a large section of country, I claim some of it. Thave had a hydraulic on thee laim three times, and though I have failed and been badly Ueaten in tuy efforts toopen and develop the mine, I never thought of giving it up. Fam going to “fight it out if it tikes all Sammer.”’ I think there are two channels on this. ridge. -¥ have worked in two places. On’ the lower end the gravel is white or light colored, and looks the same as the gravel in Amos Laird’s o'd diggings. The upper end is-red ashes and large blue cemented gravel, Jike the Alta shaft or the Biue Banks in Downieville. The channel forks at the lower end of our ground, one running to the tol} road, the other straight down to Slate creek, There is a streak that crosses the ridge in which, after a rain, you could get two bits to thé pan. Dear sir, if you will give this place in your. valuable paper it will put me right before the public. Yours resp’tly, D. McKeon. __— Oo oe Rich Ground. The fifleen stamp cement mill on the French Corral claims, owned by the Milton Company, was run last month for 22 days on cement,: and the result of the clean-up at the end of the run was $4,550, or on an ayerage of $200 perduy. The expense of getting out and milling the cement was about $50 per day, leay. ing $150 per day profit, It is for the purpose of tapping this body of ground that the tunnel.is being run When completed it will allow ths: whole of the pay cbannek. cement and all, to be washed through it,. The cement is about 75 feet in thickness, but there has never been over 25 feet in depth worked. It is reasonable-to suppose the bottom will be much richer than that at present worked. The expense of the tunnel, which will -be very heavy will not: require a very long ran to pay for it when everything is ready for work, judging from the value of the top ground. New Society, Grass Valley is-trying to rival this place ia the organization of societies, They have become jealous of the success of the different societies here, They have only had one ‘society there for a long time that proved a success, and at which there was“a regular attendance of members. The place of meeting has generally been at Dan Holbrook’s, and they call it the Pedro Society. . The Union has so frequently reminded the residents of their shortcomings in the matter that a new society has now been organized, called the “Pizzle Plum Gum Society."” Whenever three or four come together. they organize a meeting and go through the order of exercises. We have no doubt the. new society will prove a success, Tr any one has afresh baby this morning, they can post this on the cradle, without extra charge: He came witha r 3 He kicued with og. — . tor His nose was a pug, ° Like the exr of a jug, : And his how! like a uight caterwaul, .

Avery, deceased. We believe the Governor to possess all the qualifications attributed to him, but as the office is regarded as a political one, and as his political record is not-exactly inaccord with the sentiments of strict party men, we are of the opinion that his pole will not be long enough to reach the persimmon. He will, no doubt, receive the assistance of Senator Booth at headquarters, but we imagine the power behind the throne will be Senator Sargent, and it is reasonable to presume he will recommend-no man who has, during the past .year, attempted to disintegrate-the Republican party in, this State.
