Yharsday, February 22, 1877. ~ ' 11 of Colfax, and not desiring to wait Bhe Daily Branseript NEVADA CITY, CAL, Washington's Birthday. To-day ¢omurences the one hun‘dred and forty-fonrth fear since the “birth of George Washington. The day is celebrated all over the land, and is, we believe, a legal holiday m wtost, if not all the Stutes of the Un“$on, The memory of Washington is} » saeredtoall who-enjoy the. liberties he did-somuch to estrblish, --He-is: "justly regarde] as the “Pather of his Country, "aad so long as bistory con= 4 Narrow Gauge-Railroad, Took to Matrimony. “One of the men employed on the whose bosom no doubt yearned for some one te come to it, became acquainted with a fair damsel of our sister city the slow course of events, last week got up a scheme to get ahead of Father time, and launch outyat once on the sea of wedded bliss, whetber the old folks liked it or mot, He tovk his dukeinaaboard the evening train for this city, but when be got to the bridge at Bong Ravine, he halted ahd transferred: himself and charge to.the train of the ©. ¥., which ‘was waiting to tuke water there, and wended bis way to Reno, where we stppose the twain were tinues to record past events, the name of Washington will be written in im“perishable characters. He spent bin _ life in establishing the itidependenec ‘ and lasting prosperity of his.coun-. try. He accomplished all he undertook, but never at the expense of .zight-and--jastices “His ralieg—passion was a leve-of his country; No jnstance has been ad.luced where be was actuated by sinister motives. He mever reached his object by unworthy means. He was free from envy, and ‘by a straightforward and honorable eourse avoided the envy of otKers. . @ . Wisdom, judgment and firmuess were . “his predomiuent traits, and while be } eould forgive indiscretions he could ever pardom dishonesty. He was frank, sincere, ond rigidly honest. Although bis compeers were men of distinguished talents, of great learning, and pre-eminent wisdom, of de» eision of eharacter, and of most inflexible integrity, yet the character ef Washington shines eonspicuously above them all, and it is fitting taat his merits shall be recounted,and his Memory revered all over the land, by every citizen of the Republic, on each anniversary of hisbirth, ‘*God made him childiess, that a nation maight call him father.’’ ss Providence Mine. The work of putting up the ma‘ehinery at the Providence mine, to be used with the Monnier method of ._ -veducing sulphuretted ore, is dtawing toa completion, and in afew ‘days everything will be in running . }, order. The ledge in the Providence . is unlike avy other in the State, so far avour knowledge goes. Noone knows the width of it atsome points. Over a hundred feet has been run across ledge mutter, and no bangiug : ‘wall found. But very little fock-has crushed from the mine for the past eighteen months, because the owners have been waiting for the completion of Amethod which would —save—a-_greater percentage 6f-gahd than has heretofore beet accomplish> ed by mill process. ‘Fhe mine bas been thoroughly opened in the meantime, and the ledge stripped ready for taking out when the proper : time’ comes. Wehear that the owners, in exploring the parts’ of the mine so stripped, the other day, found an . ’ immeuse boulder of rock which had eaved into the cut through whieh they were passing, from what was supposed to be the hadgiag wall. In erawling around if they found that the rock had fallen down from the face of a ledge beyond, and which no one expected existed there, © The rook of this new.section is said to be better than that of any othér part of _ the mine. It. would. almost seem the whole mountain through which the ledge runs, is a body of quartz. When the company get ready for extensive work, there ought to be a yield from the Providence that will help to make money plenty, The Bull-Dozer. A party composed of A. H. Walvath, Wm. Powell, J, Nufiziger, Sam Weare, Jerry Payne, George Raker, G. V. Lake, C. Bennet and W. Bailey, are engaged in_prospect-. ing a ledge located about three miles below Newtown, aid which .they have named the Bull-dozer. They have started a shaft down and find . the rock looks well, and . frony sever-f@l assaye made they feel confident they have a good thing. The ledge is from four tosixfeet in width. It catries sulphureta, and hasevery appearance of proving to be a good mine a8’ soon .as properly opened. The district isa new one, but we ‘un~~ derstand there are numerous quartz ledges running through it, ayd the gentlemen meutioned think they are going to open up a new field, To examine the elegazit new Prints -aa®PDress Goods, at madé one, or words to that effect. to Grass Valley to have ber deliyed,; but the party addressed did not find the couple on the train, aud neglected for a day to notify the friends of the fact, so the departed par‘ies had. ample time to accomplish their parpose. ‘Ubis is as we heard the story. We did not inquire names, and would not give them if we had learned them. , ian Sale of Mining Property. eS Carney and P; S. Goodspeed, of Hunt’s Hill; bave sold their entire mining property to. a corporation known as the Camden Mining Compeny. The sale was effected through John McAliis, Esq., of Smartsville, an experienced minerand a member of the Excelsior Mining Co. The property is a valaable. one, and will no doubt demonstrate the advantages of investment by San Franciseo capitalista in our mines. The property embraezs nearly one bundred acres of vuluable mining ground with fixtures, and all the tools and appliances fur immediate and pr. ctical work, and at $25,000, the price said to-have been pvid, cunnot bat prove a profituble investment. We understand Mr. McAllis will act as Superintendent. The new Compiny bave abundant means, and will thorougbly open up the mineso as to extensively work the same. Orleans Mine, — The Orleans is located on Gold Flat near the schvol house, It was worked sometime agoas far as thé machinery on it, which was light, would allow, and bas for_some time ‘laid idle. Lhé owners ave now opening out the drain tunnel and other necessury work preparatory to putting in heavier machinery at no distant day. The ledge is a large one, and is heavily charged with sulpburets and the roek taken from it whea worked puid from $14 to $40 per ton. The revival of interest in quartz miningin this vicinity has stimulated the owners to go to work. The most singular thing about it is that work was ever suspended, on a ledge promising so well. Closing Schoolson the 22nd. We find the following.correspondence ia the Sun Francisco Pest: Eprror Post: Is it customaty.to close the schools on the 22d imstant> Washington's birthday, as-is the case on the l7th of March, St. Patrickh’s Day. By answering the above you will greatly oblige. 5 An AMERicaN CrayzEn. Sin Francisco, February 20th. {The schools are always closed on Washington's birthday, not on St, Patrick’s Day.—Ep.]The Post is not posted. The schools of this city are an exception. kt is thought here that reverence for Washington and a patriotic spirit can as well be instilled inthe minds of children oh the 23rd as on the 22d, Therefore the Board of Education have ordered the schools closed on that day instead of Washington's birthday. Manhattan Mine. -The ledge known as the Manhat‘tan, located on the ridge between the Pittsburgh mine and Banner Hill, was worked several years since, and } an ineline sunk 285 feet. The hoisting works were twice destroyed by fire, about three years ago, and in consequence of some of the owners uot being able at the time to pay for erecting more, the mine has laid idle ever since —only enough work being done to hold the ground. The ledge avereges from 14 to 28 inches in. width, and always paid well. The owners intend, in the Spring, to put up works aud again open the mine. . The owners are T. W.

Sargent’s Speech. Senator Sargent made a very tglling impromptu speech on the 19th, in answer-to those who were grnmbling aboat the decision of the pears the following: {“That Tribuval has been eonstituted to decide this question, and as there are two. sides, they must decide one way or the other. On the vesy last ‘night, and nearly the last thing said, in the debate on this question, -when the Senator from Obw [ Thurmen] was insisting that they should go back of the acts of the Returning Board, und the Senator from Vermont [Edmunds], and those who “that (bis should not-be-done-by-that Tribuual,. 1 called attention to the fact that under this clash of interests there would be carping at the result, land that somebody would think they were cheated. — Democratie™ Senuments were. govud for. nothing.— Then was the time to consider ihem, and to vote duwn the bill, if it would lead to unfairness or partisanship.

It is an old maxim that. few offiee Alecks.” They always ‘live and never cease talking. If they can get in a word detrimental.to local interests to an enquiring purchaser, they never fail to do so, We are informed by a party who recently disposed of an interest in a valuable mine, at u very low figure, that his trade was nearly broken up by the discouraging statements of thé local smart Alecks, and had not the purchaser been a practical miner, and been ‘willing to.go on his own judgment, the trade would have beega prevented, without doubt. Those who geénerally volunteer advice are the ones whose opinigns arenot worth heeding, and in most cases it comes from men who never get far enough away froma hot stoveto obtain sufficient exercise to aid digestion. — . Rapid Recovery. The miners, Stea and Sullivan, who met with a blasting accident at the New England mine, a short time since, have so far recovered as to be about again, and wil! soon be all right. One of the men lost an eye, but has still one good one left, and will be able to work as well as ever after a while. It was almost a miraculous escape. How a man can stand diteetly over a giant powder blast aud not be killed outright, is a mystery. —_————— 9 +e In a New Field, R. M.

Goodspeed, of Hunt’s Hill; bave sold their entire mining property to. a corporation known as the Camden Mining Compeny. The sale was effected through John McAliis, Esq., of Smartsville, an experienced minerand a member of the Excelsior Mining Co. The property is a valaable. one, and will no doubt demonstrate the advantages of investment by San Franciseo capitalista in our mines. The property embraezs nearly one bundred acres of vuluable mining ground with fixtures, and all the tools and appliances fur immediate and pr. ctical work, and at $25,000, the price said to-have been pvid, cunnot bat prove a profituble investment. We understand Mr. McAllis will act as Superintendent. The new Compiny bave abundant means, and will thorougbly open up the mineso as to extensively work the same. Orleans Mine, — The Orleans is located on Gold Flat near the schvol house, It was worked sometime agoas far as thé machinery on it, which was light, would allow, and bas for_some time ‘laid idle. Lhé owners ave now opening out the drain tunnel and other necessury work preparatory to putting in heavier machinery at no distant day. The ledge is a large one, and is heavily charged with sulpburets and the roek taken from it whea worked puid from $14 to $40 per ton. The revival of interest in quartz miningin this vicinity has stimulated the owners to go to work. The most singular thing about it is that work was ever suspended, on a ledge promising so well.

Sin Francisco, February 20th. {The schools are always closed on Washington's birthday, not on St, Patrick’s Day.—Ep.]The Post is not posted. The schools of this city are an exception. kt is thought here that reverence for Washington and a patriotic spirit can as well be instilled inthe minds of children oh the 23rd as on the 22d, Therefore the Board of Education have ordered the schools closed on that day instead of Washington's birthday. Manhattan Mine. -The ledge known as the Manhat‘tan, located on the ridge between the Pittsburgh mine and Banner Hill, was worked several years since, and } an ineline sunk 285 feet. The hoisting works were twice destroyed by fire, about three years ago, and in consequence of some of the owners uot being able at the time to pay for erecting more, the mine has laid idle ever since —only enough work being done to hold the ground. The ledge avereges from 14 to 28 inches in. width, and always paid well. The owners intend, in the Spring, to put up works aud again open the mine. . The owners are T. W.

Sargent’s Speech.

It is an old maxim that. few offiee Alecks.” They always ‘live and never cease talking. If they can get in a word detrimental.to local interests to an enquiring purchaser, they never fail to do so, We are informed by a party who recently disposed of an interest in a valuable mine, at u very low figure, that his trade was nearly broken up by the discouraging statements of thé local smart Alecks, and had not the purchaser been a practical miner, and been ‘willing to.go on his own judgment, the trade would have beega prevented, without doubt. Those who geénerally volunteer advice are the ones whose opinigns arenot worth heeding, and in most cases it comes from men who never get far enough away froma hot stoveto obtain sufficient exercise to aid digestion. — . Rapid Recovery. The miners, Stea and Sullivan, who met with a blasting accident at the New England mine, a short time since, have so far recovered as to be about again, and wil! soon be all right.. One of the men lost an eye, but has still one good one left, and will be able to work as well as ever after a while. It was almost a miraculous escape.
