Mr. Gamble of San Francisco cannot accompany them, owing to the muddled condition of affairs of the Western Union Telegraph Company with which he is connected, About twelve o'clock Thursday night a fire on C street, Virginia City, destroyed some twenty five buildings. The fire made a pretty clean sweep of all the buildings between Band C streets, from Flowery north to the fire-proof brick’ known as the Kleupfer building.

Skidmore, who has just returned from Sierra county, informs us that a remarkably rich quartz boulder weighing 160 pounds was hydrauliced out of the bank of the Nevada Hydraulic Co., at Gibsonville, last week. The boulder was smoothly washed, haying the appearance of being g:ound in a pot-hole. Its valae is about $2,500, and nearly all of it is suitable for quartz jewelry.’ The estimate of the $2,500 is made on the basisjof a fineness of gold of 900, at $18 per Gunce, byt this class of gold commands $25 per ounce when used for cutting by lapidaries. The value is computed by the specific gravity of the rock. True Test. The A Grass Valley correspondent writes as follows to the TRANSCRIPT: In regard to the report that the Nevada military desire some other team to shoot against them at target the ‘coming fair, Grass Valley itself can and will produce a team that will contest fur such honor providing each man can use his own rifle (Wimbleton rules), There area score of sharpshooters here that beara high reputation. Among them may be named Meek, Hays, Webster, Byrne, Burrows and a number of others. Sin,ularly enough, the Fair Directors while offering prizes for pigeon shooting have ignored the only test of shooting worthy of the name. The Pie-mic Today.

[No. v.] Near the border of the deposit where mining has been done, the bedrock lies from 50 to 100 feet below the surface of the gravel. The bedrock of the deepest part of’ the channel has never yet been exposed within the limits of this property. If for the body of ground lying directly over the bottom of this channel we'assume a width of 300 yards and s depth of 125 yards, ,and for the gravel on both sides an aggregate width of 1,000 yards and a depth of 30 yards, and for the whole a length of 4,400 yards, we obtain a sum of nearly 300,000,000 cubic yards; and as it is calculated that 1 inch of water will wash 7 cubic yards of gravel in twenty-four hours, this amount will require for its washing a constant employment of 4,000 inches of water for about thirty years. ' A large portion of the surface of this ground has been worked by its various owners at different points during the past twenty years, using as outlets the several ravines that traverse the ground’at either end ot the property. The central portion being most remote, still remains intact. The results of these surface washings, even as far back as 1868, were very satisfactory and profitable, even when the Owners’ were paying large water rates. In several instances large contracts have been made with parties who have worked immense quantities of this gravel, and the average yield has been from 3 to 4: cents per cubic yard, and even at this apparently small yield it paid, after paying from 10 to 124 cents per inch for water. The present mining operations of the company at Columbia Hill consist in the working of the eastern portion of the property within the same area as that tormerly worked by several individuals, but reaching a deeper level by reason of a reduction in the grade of the sluice. This has been reconstructed on a grade of 54 inches to 14 feet, the difference in grade amounting to over 100 feet in the length of the sluice, As this sluise is in future extended on or along the course of the channel, the height of the gravel bank above it will be steadily increasing until at the head of the old diggings, where the original surface still remains, the bank will be 200 feet high. This sluice is 8 feet wide and 6,200 feet in length. Allthe above work, however, is comparatively speaking, but surface washing, for in order to reach and wash the gravel in the bottom of this mine, it will be necessary to form an outlet to one of the branches of the Yuba River by means of a tunnel from 7,000 to 10,009 feet in length. In the Columbia Hill mine the supply of gravel, supposing it all to be available, is eufficient for many years, say twenty-tive, using 4,000 to 5,000 inches of water steadily The supply immediately available is top gravel only, and'may be considcred sufficient, for, say, 10 years, and is capable of producing from $200,000 to $250,000 yearly, or $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 in all, Yhe following may be taken as a basis for estimating the value of. this great gravel deposit : The quantity of gravel in the deposit has been estimated at 300,000,000 cubic yards, The greater portion of this is top yravel, of which the estimated yield, based on experience, is 34 cents per yard. There is no meaus of estimating the value of the deeper blue gravel except by its known value in other places, Ii the deeper blue gravel be assumed to have a value six times. greater than the top gravel, and to form rbe, say, 6 cents per cubic yard, or about $18,000,000 for the mine, The Bloomfield mine adjoins that of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company on the south. Jt is a acres of ground, lying ou the south and east slope of the main lava crested ridge, and is drained by Humbag Creek, a tributary of the South Yuba River. This property has not been much developed. eee Some washing of top gravel has been done near the North Bloomfield line, and extending thence southerly along the eastern rim of the gravel deposit, using as outlets the several ravines that drain into Humbug Canyon. It is probable that no very extensive operations will be undertaken-until an outlet is provided by means of which the bottom gravel-can be attacked. miles from the Bloomfield property, measured along the supposed course of the about 4 miles are covered by the heavy lava cap that forms the crest of the ridge. This is one of four —Woolsey’s, Moore’s, Orleans Flats, and Snow Poiut—once continuous, but now disconnected by deep_rabed-rock. Itis a piece of: ground about 2,000 or 2,509 feet along the been worked off to bedrock for a distance of, say, 1,000 feet or more. The channel deposit here carries very rious drawback to mining. washing it through existing outlets,one, szventh part of the entire mass, the average value of all the gravel will tract of land containing about 720 Woolsey’s Flat is from 5 to 6 channel, of which distance vines that have cut down into the ravine thatit overlooks, and it has heavy deposits of clay io places 80 or 90 feet thick, which has been a serIn early. days, the ground being saaily accessible and very productive, NEVADA COUNTY. fit is said the claims paid good profits, Lately the ground has “been mined by four companies, viz, the Blue Banks, Oriental, Boston, and XIX. All these claims — paid well, The Blue Banks mine has been extensively worked _and has produced about $300,000. About one year agdif slide occurred ,which covered up all of the apparatus, and rushing down the hill, for a distance of one mile or more, caused an entire siispension of work, The mine was yielding about $1,000 per day when this occurred. The Boston mine has producéd largely and is still a paying property. On the opposite side of the ravine which is the northern limit of Woolsey’s Flat, is Moore’s Flat, a similar portion of the said channel, but cut cff on both sides by ravines. At Moore’s Flat the easily accessible gravel has been pretty much, though not entirely, worked offto bed-rock ; there remains, however, an undetermined width of channel lying along and under the hill, for a distance as yet unknown, but probably containing a large amount of gravel, Snow Point is a similar location 2, miles from Moore’s Flat. A little mining is being done here, but no very extensive operations are likely to be undertaken until a deeper tunvel is driven, Relief Hill is situated on the opposite slope of the main ridge. It resemules Woolsey’s Flat in many respects, being a portion of another branch of the channel, cut off on the one hand by a deep ravine, Logan Canyon, and, on the other, disappearing with a descending grade under the lava-covered ridge. Along the face of the hill, overlooking the ravine, the ground has been extensively worked. There are some valuable mines here, some of which have advanced their workings as far into the hill as the heavy beds of pipe clay and the overlying and conatantly deepening cover of the surface dirt will permit. The owners of some of these mines are drif® mining, and the bottom gravel is said to ve rich enough to make this metliod of working profitable. Major Dane's Second Lecture.

Old John Robinson’s circus will be jn Nevada City Monday, August 13th, according to the latest arrangement, and itis not at alllikely the date will be changed. -A board wali about fifty feet long and tifteen feet high has been put up near the foot of Sacramento street for the biggest posters to be spread on. George Aiken, general advertising agent, will arrive at Colfax ina day or two, if he did not get there yesterday, with his car, which is as neac perfect as it can be made. The front end is fitted up with cupbvards for paper, bills, 4 posters, bunks for the men, etc. In the center of the car Mr, Aiken has an office elegantly fitted up and furnished for his use and convenience. The car contains, when loaded, 18 tons of paper, about 590 pounds of cuts, 1009 pounds of flour and 20 men. Theshow uses 4,299 posters and 300. lithographs daily. Four hundred pounds of flour are used daily for paste. It costs a deal of monseparate portions'of the old channel’ ey to display the gaudy circus posters. The ‘‘tattooed woman,” the ‘‘3eyed ox,” ‘five great military bands,” the ‘‘South Sea Island beauty,” ‘‘testing the strength of the elephant,” ‘the “giraffe climbing the greasy pole,” all have tobe displayed as ‘‘feat. ures.” To do this work 47 men are kept constantly busy traveling iu advance of the show.

The Board met pursuant to adjournment, all members present. H. L. Day, President of the Board, presiding. The miautes of the previous meeting were read and approved. { H, A. Lones of Nevada township appeared before the Board, having been heretofore cited to appear and show cause why his assessment should not be raised from $7,500 to $12,000, it appearing that all of the property of H. A. Lones was not entered in the assessment roll. By order the tollowing entries and alterations were ordered to be made : On Lot 1, Block 36, add 5 houses, $1500.

Wiseman, agent, Nevada township, made a duly verified application, asking the Board to reduce its assessment for the reason that the property is depreciated in value on account of litigation, and it is assesse i’ above its real value.— Wherefore the applicant says that the real property listed at $67,300 should be reduced $18,900. He also stated that the Twin lakes at the head of the forks of Bowmaa and Texas Creek, known as Bowman and Lindsey lakes, were no account to them whatever as ‘they could not under the present circumstances get any water from the lakes, as they were blown up.

The Sailor Flat Miuing Co,, Nevada township, by B. D. Chadwick, agont, made a duly veritied’ application asking the Board to reduce its assessment, aud makes the fullowing statement of cause why such reduction should be made. He says the property of the company consists ofahydraulic mine at Sailor Flat, that fer one year past said mine has aot paid over and above the expen3e8 of running it, that by reason of litigation, and application for injunction against it, now pending and uandetermined, the value of safd mine has been greatly reduced, and in March, 1883, was not wo:ith over $8,000. Wherefore the applicant says that the'real property listed at $16,000 should be reduced to $3,000. Caken-wnder advisement. Peter Brunstetter of Grass Valley township, made a duly verified application asking the Board to reduce his assessment, and makes the following statement of cause why such reduction should be made: He says that the machinery assessed at $2,000, and lumber assessed at $2,000, was burnt since March, 1883, and not insured, therefore it is a dead less. Wherefore the applicant says that the personal property listed at 54,000 should be reduced $3,000. [Taken under advisement, Attest: F. G. Bearry, Clerk. By W. D.

EVERY MAN HIS own BOSS. flow to Promote Personal Power— A New Radical Reformer. “There 18 no provision in the Divine economy for polical bosses !’ With a bang of his fist, and in the voice of aman who had made up his mind on the subject, Rev. James Chambers, of Calvary Presbyterian Charch, Harlem, recently opened his serman with this announcement. He was right. The only boss authorized by the Book is mentioned in these words : *‘He who ruleth his own spirit ia greater than he who taketh a city,” Commonly, the better side of men is subject to the despotism of the worse side. Bad passions, bad hu‘mors, mean jealovsies and base revenges are ail bosses, QOne of the worst of bosses is bile. What is most depressing in philosophical or theological thought is due to it. Old General Debility is another tyrannical boss. He lashes men who are naturally bad or miserably weak, Concerning his deliverance from this bondage, Rev. S. P. Lewis, pastor of the 8th street Baptist Church, St. Louis, Mo., writes: ‘I was suffering from exhaustion and eneral debility. Asan invigorant I used PaRKER’s GinceR Toaic.

Skidmore, who has just returned from Sierra county, informs us that a remarkably rich quartz boulder weighing 160 pounds was hydrauliced out of the bank of the Nevada Hydraulic Co., at Gibsonville, last week. The boulder was smoothly washed, haying the appearance of being g:ound in a pot-hole. Its valae is about $2,500, and nearly all of it is suitable for quartz jewelry.’ The estimate of the $2,500 is made on the basisjof a fineness of gold of 900, at $18 per Gunce, byt this class of gold commands $25 per ounce when used for cutting by lapidaries. The value is computed by the specific gravity of the rock. True Test. The A Grass Valley correspondent writes as follows to the TRANSCRIPT: In regard to the report that the Nevada military desire some other team to shoot against them at target the ‘coming fair, Grass Valley itself can and will produce a team that will contest fur such honor providing each man can use his own rifle (Wimbleton rules), There area score of sharpshooters here that beara high reputation. Among them may be named Meek, Hays, Webster, Byrne, Burrows and a number of others.

[No. v.] Near the border of the deposit where mining has been done, the bedrock lies from 50 to 100 feet below the surface of the gravel. The bedrock of the deepest part of’ the channel has never yet been exposed within the limits of this property. If for the body of ground lying directly over the bottom of this channel we'assume a width of 300 yards and s depth of 125 yards, ,and for the gravel on both sides an aggregate width of 1,000 yards and a depth of 30 yards, and for the whole a length of 4,400 yards, we obtain a sum of nearly 300,000,000 cubic yards; and as it is calculated that 1 inch of water will wash 7 cubic yards of gravel in twenty-four hours, this amount will require for its washing a constant employment of 4,000 inches of water for about thirty years. ' A large portion of the surface of this ground has been worked by its various owners at different points during the past twenty years, using as outlets the several ravines that traverse the ground’at either end ot the property. The central portion being most remote, still remains intact. The results of these surface washings, even as far back as 1868, were very satisfactory and profitable, even when the Owners’ were paying large water rates. In several instances large contracts have been made with parties who have worked immense quantities of this gravel, and the average yield has been from 3 to 4: cents per cubic yard, and even at this apparently small yield it paid, after paying from 10 to 124 cents per inch for water. The present mining operations of the company at Columbia Hill consist in the working of the eastern portion of the property within the same area as that tormerly worked by several individuals, but reaching a deeper level by reason of a reduction in the grade of the sluice. This has been reconstructed on a grade of 54 inches to 14 feet, the difference in grade amounting to over 100 feet in the length of the sluice, As this sluise is in future extended on or along the course of the channel, the height of the gravel bank above it will be steadily increasing until at the head of the old diggings, where the original surface still remains, the bank will be 200 feet high. This sluice is 8 feet wide and 6,200 feet in length. Allthe above work, however, is comparatively speaking, but surface washing, for in order to reach and wash the gravel in the bottom of this mine, it will be necessary to form an outlet to one of the branches of the Yuba River by means of a tunnel from 7,000 to 10,009 feet in length. In the Columbia Hill mine the supply of gravel, supposing it all to be available, is eufficient for many years, say twenty-tive, using 4,000 to 5,000 inches of water steadily The supply immediately available is top gravel only, and'may be considcred sufficient, for, say, 10 years, and is capable of producing from $200,000 to $250,000 yearly, or $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 in all, Yhe following may be taken as a basis for estimating the value of. this great gravel deposit : The quantity of gravel in the deposit has been estimated at 300,000,000 cubic yards, The greater portion of this is top yravel, of which the estimated yield, based on experience, is 34 cents per yard. There is no meaus of estimating the value of the deeper blue gravel except by its known value in other places, Ii the deeper blue gravel be assumed to have a value six times. greater than the top gravel, and to form rbe, say, 6 cents per cubic yard, or about $18,000,000 for the mine, The Bloomfield mine adjoins that of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company on the south. Jt is a acres of ground, lying ou the south and east slope of the main lava crested ridge, and is drained by Humbag Creek, a tributary of the South Yuba River. This property has not been much developed. eee Some washing of top gravel has been done near the North Bloomfield line, and extending thence southerly along the eastern rim of the gravel deposit, using as outlets the several ravines that drain into Humbug Canyon. It is probable that no very extensive operations will be undertaken-until an outlet is provided by means of which the bottom gravel-can be attacked. miles from the Bloomfield property, measured along the supposed course of the about 4 miles are covered by the heavy lava cap that forms the crest of the ridge. This is one of four —Woolsey’s, Moore’s, Orleans Flats, and Snow Poiut—once continuous, but now disconnected by deep_rabed-rock. Itis a piece of: ground about 2,000 or 2,509 feet along the been worked off to bedrock for a distance of, say, 1,000 feet or more. The channel deposit here carries very rious drawback to mining. washing it through existing outlets,one, szventh part of the entire mass, the average value of all the gravel will tract of land containing about 720 Woolsey’s Flat is from 5 to 6 channel, of which distance vines that have cut down into the ravine thatit overlooks, and it has heavy deposits of clay io places 80 or 90 feet thick, which has been a serIn early. days, the ground being saaily accessible and very productive, NEVADA COUNTY. fit is said the claims paid good profits, Lately the ground has “been mined by four companies, viz, the Blue Banks, Oriental, Boston, and XIX. All these claims — paid well, The Blue Banks mine has been extensively worked _and has produced about $300,000. About one year agdif slide occurred ,which covered up all of the apparatus, and rushing down the hill, for a distance of one mile or more, caused an entire siispension of work, The mine was yielding about $1,000 per day when this occurred. The Boston mine has producéd largely and is still a paying property. On the opposite side of the ravine which is the northern limit of Woolsey’s Flat, is Moore’s Flat, a similar portion of the said channel, but cut cff on both sides by ravines. At Moore’s Flat the easily accessible gravel has been pretty much, though not entirely, worked offto bed-rock ; there remains, however, an undetermined width of channel lying along and under the hill, for a distance as yet unknown, but probably containing a large amount of gravel, Snow Point is a similar location 2, miles from Moore’s Flat. A little mining is being done here, but no very extensive operations are likely to be undertaken until a deeper tunvel is driven, Relief Hill is situated on the opposite slope of the main ridge. It resemules Woolsey’s Flat in many respects, being a portion of another branch of the channel, cut off on the one hand by a deep ravine, Logan Canyon, and, on the other, disappearing with a descending grade under the lava-covered ridge. Along the face of the hill, overlooking the ravine, the ground has been extensively worked. There are some valuable mines here, some of which have advanced their workings as far into the hill as the heavy beds of pipe clay and the overlying and conatantly deepening cover of the surface dirt will permit. The owners of some of these mines are drif® mining, and the bottom gravel is said to ve rich enough to make this metliod of working profitable. Major Dane's Second Lecture.

Lones of Nevada township appeared before the Board, having been heretofore cited to appear and show cause why his assessment should not be raised from $7,500 to $12,000, it appearing that all of the property of H. A. Lones was not entered in the assessment roll. By order the tollowing entries and alterations were ordered to be made : On Lot 1, Block 36, add 5 houses, $1500.

township, made a duly verified application asking the Board to reduce his assessment, and makes the following statement of cause why such reduction should be made: He says that the machinery assessed at $2,000, and lumber assessed at $2,000, was burnt since March, 1883, and not insured, therefore it is a dead less. Wherefore the applicant says that the personal property listed at 54,000 should be reduced $3,000. [Taken under advisement, Attest: F. G. Bearry, Clerk. By W. D.

EVERY MAN HIS own BOSS. flow to Promote Personal Power— A New Radical Reformer. “There 18 no provision in the Divine economy for polical bosses !’ With a bang of his fist, and in the voice of aman who had made up his mind on the subject, Rev. James Chambers, of Calvary Presbyterian Charch, Harlem, recently opened his serman with this announcement. He was right. The only boss authorized by the Book is mentioned in these words : *‘He who ruleth his own spirit ia greater than he who taketh a city,” Commonly, the better side of men is subject to the despotism of the worse side. Bad passions, bad hu‘mors, mean jealovsies and base revenges are ail bosses, QOne of the worst of bosses is bile. What is most depressing in philosophical or theological thought is due to it. Old General Debility is another tyrannical boss. He lashes men who are naturally bad or miserably weak, Concerning his deliverance from this bondage, Rev. S. P. Lewis, pastor of the 8th street Baptist Church, St. Louis, Mo., writes: ‘I was suffering from exhaustion and eneral debility. Asan invigorant I used PaRKER’s GinceR Toaic.
