T. A: Vest, who was a candidate
fora place in the Nevada City
schools, also sought the teachership
of the yrammar school at San Juan,
and his chances for getting the latter were favorable. The Trustees ot
that town met on-the:7th. instant.to
elect teachers, when a communica~
tion reading as follows was received:
Nuvapa Crry, July 5th, 1883.
Mr. ‘James Conn, Clerk School
Board, North Sao Juan.
Dear Sir:—Lam in receipt. of a
letter from a Mr, Vest, a friend and
former roommate who is inSen Jose,
requesting me to seod him his thiugand send you word to withdraw hioffer to teach school for you nex:
year, as he has the refusal of a schooi
down there that suits him better.
‘ Yours Traly,
8. BR. Ricw.
The letter proves to have been unauthorized, and no one by the name
of S. R. Rich can be found at this
city. It was undoubtedly a fraad
perpetrated with the intention to
destroy Mr. Vest’s chances for election, and it succeeded. An effort is
being made to ferret out the writer,

There is but very little drift. mining in this county. The Debeo blue
gravel mine, situated on the gravel
ridge, and adjoining the North
Bloomfleld mine.‘on the north und
east, is quite a-noted mine. The
gravel is hoisted by machinery
through a shaft 466 feet in depth.
Last May a tunnel was started in
Humbng Creek at a point 4,500 feet
from the old or No. 1 shaft. When
completed, this tunnel -will drain-the
lowest part of the mine’ yet worked.
There are 2,000 feet run, all of which
is through the North Bloomfield
ground, and 800 feet more will connect it with shaft No: 2, which has
been sunk on the line of the tunnel
about 2,000 feet from shaft No. 1.
This property has produced weil,.
and will do so for many years to
come, [Said tunnel is now completed.)
The quartz-mining i in lustry of this
county is being prosecuted with very
satisfactory results. There are about
thirty seven quartz mills, nearly all
of which: -have;been 1m operation
duririg the past year. The total
amount of ore worked by these mills
daring 1882 was 1,110,009 tons.
Grass Valley has been the most
importaut point in Nevada county
for quartz mining for several years
past,
The Idaho, the principal mine at
this place, is still producing large
quantities of bollion. The mine is
being worked toa great depth, consequently the. expenses are correspondingly greater. During the past
year the company. made a contract
with the Sonth Yuba Water ‘and
Mining Company, wher.by the lat
ter agreed ‘to furnish. water to the
company for motive power on terms
considered to he favorable to the
interests of the Idaho Company. Iu
making this change of power the
trustees had in view -the increasiny
quantity of wood consumed, and as
greater depth is attained this increase of consumption would constantly keep going: on in the future,
even at a greater rativ than it has in
the past; and believing this chany e
would meet the approval of the com
pany, steps have already been taken
to carry it into effect. Plans are
aow being prepared and part of the
iron for pipes is already ordered, and
the work will be pushed ahead as
‘ast as possible, but as it is quite a
heavy job it will be well along in the
spring before it is completed. Athe work is now all below the 1,090‘oot level, and the ore helow that
yoint has to be raised by compress. ed air to that station, it will be necsssary to add anether compressor to
the works before the close of the
year 1883,
The quality of the ore has fallen
considerably below what it was last
year, and has produced a correspouding shrinkage in dividends; and from
the present appearance of the mine,
aopes cannot he entertained of any
‘nerease of dividends for the ensuing
year oyer that of the year just ¢losed,
' Within the past. year the 1,100
drift has been extended to the distance of 1,044 feet from the incline.
but the last 100 feet have been
through barren ground, and. it may
be considered that the pay chute 1s
exhausted in this level, and the
»acks above this point are also workedout. The 1,20): drift is in 860
feet from the incline. This has been
quite a poor drift most all: the distance. The stopes above this are also
nite poor, but some improvement is
expected, as good ore was found in
the 1,100 drift ahead of the present
stopes. The 1,200 stopes are worked through to the 1,100 level drift
for a distance of 700 feet from the incline. The 1,300 level drift is in
422 feet from the incline, The ledye
in this drift will average 2} feet in
thickness and of feir quality. The
ore in the stepes above the drift is
also of about an average quality.
Che incline is down 221 feet below
the 1,300 level, or a vertical depth
from the surface of about 1,491 feet.
They are now opening, out the stition for the 1,400 drift. There is a
small ledge in the incline, which
shows gold occasionally, but there
is. not much profit in it at present.
Daring the year the company
worked 27,539 tons of ore, which
gave a yield of —

this mine for the last fourteen years
aggregate the maguiticent ‘sum “of

Death of a Pioneer.
Jobn K. Sale, a resident of Nevada
county as early as 1850, died in the
Indian Territory on the 13th instant. He was collector of Foreign
Miners’ licenses under several Sheriffs during the-fifties. His last public position in Nevada county was
that of Marshal of Grass Valley about
1867. The Union says : A few yeare
after that he removed to the State of
Nevada, where. he remained unti!
about a year ago, when he returned
co Grass Valley, stopping in the vi
cinity several months, and thei, after a brief stay at San Francisco,
went to the Indian Territory, where
he bad relatives residing. So far as
Known none of his acquaintances had
heard from him since going to the
ferritory, and -no particulars have
been learned concerning bis sickness
and death, John Kimbrough Sale
was known to all th: old residents of
the county, and for many years was
a marked local character, as he was
one of those men who. saw so much
in life to extract pleas:r¢g from, that
he went in fer his full share, Although not edacated, he was a ‘man
of no mean ability, and on occasion~
dould wield apen with incisive force.
Like many of the pioneers of. the
flush tines he was liberal ‘and freebanded, and met the same. reverses
that came-to many of them, but with
the faith of the veteran prospector
looked for a “big strike” which never came, and finally, like many of
the oli-timers, has lain down to rest
withort accomplishing the Hopes and
rxpectations of, hia life. Mr. Sale
was-anative of Virginia, and leaves
a wife and one child.

in all respects, E, M. Preston, President of the Lecture Bureau, was
chairman. The first number was a
piatiodolo by Prof. Maller, the wellknown composer and teacher of masic. He performed ‘The Minuet” iu
a@ manner that evoked hearty and
long continued demonstrations of
approval, Mrs, Dainty was then introduced and soon succeeded in winnidg the hearts of her auditors, She
is charming inmanner, pretty of
face, and her graceful little form
is elegantly attired, _ Her voice is
pleasing and natural, aud, like her
facial expression, under the most perfect control. She depicts the various passions and emotions in a4
manner strictly true to life, merging
herself into the part she plays with

comprehension,

Naughty Little Girl’s View of Life”
and ‘*The Model Sermon,” while in
combinations of the descriptive ‘and
pathetic, like ‘Kentucky Belle,” she
bas but few peers. When she had
read these three selections, and unmistakably captured the audience,
Miss Ella Cowdery, accompanied on
the piano by Prof.’Muller, rendered
a vocal solo with such sweetness and
finish that she received an encore,
Mrs. Dainty read ‘*Poor Little Joe,”
*‘How the Old Horse won the Bet,”
and ‘‘The Jiners,” following which
Mrs, ‘F. G. Beatty performed in her
usual artistic manner a piano solo
which so pl d the auili that
they insisted upon her favoring them

‘‘How He saved St. Michaels” and
“The Brakeman at Charch.” The
audience was larger than attended
the Bureau’s eutertainments last
week,and yet there were’ very many
vacant seats. When the people of

Coal Mine on Fire.
A Lincoln (Placer county) dispatch
of Thursday says : The large new
vunkers and hoisting works of the
Clipper cosl mine at this place were
discovered to be on fire at .5 v’clock
this morning. The wen working in
the mine were instantly notiiied to
come out, and all easily made thei:
egcape. By this time the fire had
got uuder such headway that th:
whole new works were doomed to
destruction, ‘There were four loaded
cars standing alungside the bunkers,
‘he section men got to the works iv
time to save three of them, but owing to the falling timbers, one could
not be got out, and was burned. The
loss-wiil be heavy to the owners,
who had just got the mine in shape
tomake it pay. Mr, Landis, the
principal owner and manager, has
the sympathy of the entire community. All openings to the mine are
being closed up. It is not known
yet how far down the main shaft the
fire has gone, but it is thuught and
hoped that the mine may be saved

How to Hang a Hammock,
As long as people will} sist upon
encouraging the growth of
oumps by using hammock
the best possible a ivantage.
are some simple rules to follow:
hammock should be bung so that th
end where the head is to rest will be
several inches higher than the fuot. A
vord somewhat stouter than the
1ammock-twine passed lensthwise
through the meshes at the border,
and torough the rings, so that it can
be leagthened or shortened as requir-d, will make it possible to sit comfortably across the hammock, with
he feet hanging or restingon the
ground, To yet into the hammock,
raise its opposite side with one hand,
ind sit on the gatherered meshes
f the near edge before reclining.
Chis renders it impossible to fall over
and out of the hammock, as is often
lone by the inexperienced, Reverse
this process in ‘‘dismounting.” It is
more comfortable to lie diagonally
scross the hammock than to stretel:
one’s self in it lengthwise, for, in the
atter case, one-must accommodate
himself to the curvea of the ham-.
inock, while in tHeformer the elassicity of the net comes into play, avd
accommodates itself tu the shape that
cests upon it.

No Whiskey!
Brown’s Iron Bitters
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not composed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Brown’s Iron: Bitters
is. guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time absolutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxicating beverages.
Rev. G. W. Rick, editor of .
the American Christian Rewiew, says of Brown’s Iron
Bitters:
Cin., O., Nov. 16, 1831.
Gents :—The foolish wast
ing of vital force in business,
pleasure, and vicious indulgence of our people; makes
your Cobia ge a necessity ;
and if applied, will save hundreds who rescrt to saloons
for temporary recuperation.
Brown’s Iron Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &c., and it never
fails to render gee and
permanent relief.
