The old. whine that Nevada county saw her best days in early times has —had-thetie—given_to it time and_ again recently by unmistakable proof to the contrary. We want to say to the residents of other parts of the country who are looking around for a new home : Come to Nevada county. Our mines are better than ever, and it will take many years to work The next decade will not suflice to get half of them even fairly opened, The leading horticulturists on the Coast say this is one of the best fields to raise fruits to profit that they know of anywheres. Medical men who know anything about it are weekly sending invalids here from various portions of th Kast and West, saying that this <limate is surpassed nowheres/in the world for . health-giving: jiroperties. It rebuilds broken’ down constitutions, restores color to the cheek, fire to the eye, and gives anew lease of life to doome . sufferers. Two Mines Compared. A gentleman who has been engazed in mining on this Coast for 25 years past, recently cams over here trom the Comstock, He inspected the Union Consolidated there on the last visiting day. It will be remembered that the stock of that mine used to sell at'the rate of $27,000,000, and is now quoted at $2,900,00). — After arriving in this section he spent consitvrable tim: in the Oriental Consolidated at Alleghany City. In speaking of the comparative merits of the two mines, he says he consid“ers the Oriental vo be amore desirable property than the Union, so far as their respective intrinsic valuss are concerned, Must'be a Mistake. -The—Grass— Valley Union says:— “The friends of James Kitts think his chances are the best for the Senatorial nomination of the W.

An [ustitution of Learning that Holds Out Unusual Inducenients to the Youth of Nevada County. The above excellent educational institution is located at Placerville, El Dorado couuty, less than .forty miles.in a direct line from this eity. We Nevada countyans regard it-.as a home institution,.inasmuch as large numbers of our young people are receiving the benefits of its therough ‘ing is a massive three stoyy' brick atructure, of pleasing architectural proportions, and its facilities for actested to the utmost. It is located in the midst of beaxtiful foot-hiHls,on the western slope of the Sierras, surrounded by ‘#he educational influensublime, where the mountain ai 1nparts health and vigor to the body end mind; remote from the diverting and “demoralizing influences of city life; in the midst of a community unsurpassed by any in the State for the excellence of its social,moral, and religious “privileges and influences, . It isa location desirable above all . others as a place for learning. The management have recently putchased and impreved, as well as enlarged, their grounds and -buildings, added to furniture and apparatus, commenced the collection of cabinet and library and the furnishing of a reading’ room, awd are about. to establish a literary society and a monthly paper. Their accomodations and appointments-mrerethan-compare favorably with other schools.in this State. To secure this result, they have expended with a liberal hand those profits which a generous patronage has supplied, ‘They have ever sought by ample salaries to attract to the board . the ablest and the best instructofs and guides to students in purstit of knowledge; those who arenot only scholars and artists, but true Christian men and womens who also teach correct manners“ nd morals both by precept and hy every day living exthy their high office. The4aculty, with E. B. Conklin as Vrincipal, comprises no less than Sevens members. Under their tuition, the masters and misses who attend are mate efficient-in—every—department, including the Normal, the Commercial, the full and regular course, and especially the College Preparatory. Increased facilities are being constantly added to the departments of Art, Music and Language. The terms of admission to the benefits of the school are extremely reasonable, and can be learned by communicating with the Principal. The next school year will commence August 7th, and parents or guardians who have children to educate will subserve their interests by at once sending for a catalogue of the Placerville Academy. A number of young people in this county have alter-upon a course. A Srupent. THompson & West have already had sketches of some of the beautiful scenery in Nevada County drawn and lithographed for their’ Illustra“ ted History of tne Coty. * ——___ 22 -——_—_—_——_—— Awfully Awful. —e We-were shocked beyond all_expression yesterday morning upon meeting an eighteen-year-old girl on the street. Not that newspaper men are ordinarily abashed when they run afoul of a pretty female. No, indeed, But then this one was made u)in such queer style. She was a full fledged mountaineeress—a_rey’lar snorter. She hada pretty face. The bright eyes that peered from under the rim—of -her hat‘told -plainly that she didn’t care a cent whether school kept.or not. But that wasn’t what made the modest scribe blush so, She had on a dress that hung just to her knees. Then she was ba ef ated. And didn’t wear any ‘stockings. Wasn’t that enough to make all the men run away when they saw her approaching—an. act that we deeply regret some of them wece too absent minded to’ perform. ee a Oe Rvery Store Room Occupied. There is not a store room in Nesay that such a atate of affairs has not existed before in twenty years.

It seems, however, that the only charge against him was petit larceny. His wife separated from him some time sinze, and has been engaged in nursiag Mrs. . Morrow duritig ‘her illness.

At the time of going to press the verdict had not been retur.ed. Raters re rae ee THompsoN & West ate old and reliable business men and in their intercourse ‘with patrons deal honestly and fairly. om nasi talline cea Who they Are. The Stock Report thus informs ‘its ‘ as to the identity of some prominent: Californians: Kearney is a business partner of Leland Stanford and Gorham is one of the principal shareholders in the Western Deyelopment Co. Dr. Glenn is inferested in wheat transportation with George C. Perkins, and Wiliam F.White is a silent partner: in the Nevada Bank. When Perkins was'a boy he robbed orchards and stole watermelons; ‘White kettled an old maid’s dog, and" Dr. Glenn robbed hens’ nests, Stall such men receive the suffrages-of. the people of California? “No, never; that is, hardly ever, 6 a Oe Anything for Office. The Marysville Appeal is mystified, and no wonder, It says: As the H. B.'s are organized in the State for the purpose of stealing the Kearney thunder ard his offices, we cannot see how two such parties can fuse on county tickets. The parties cannot fuse on the State ticket, and why can they do so consistently in counties? Wherever it is done it is‘a clear expression of love for office and nothing for principles. It has been done here, ‘and for what purpose? — ‘‘Anything to beat the Republicans.” The conglomeration has about as much principle about it as the monger who offers stale fish. ‘> Information to the Mistaken. Eprror TRANscrIPt:— Parties who are of the belief that the County Treasurer of Nevada county is allowed a deputy to be paid from the funds of the county, are laboring under a serious mistake. The Treasurer is allowed all the deputies he may require to run the office. But if they receive pay for such service, the Treasurer must pay them from his own pocket, for the county of Nevada pays no salary for a deputy Treasurer, Hoping the above information will be satisfactory to jsome of my doubtful friends, Iam very respectfully, J.N. Payne. Me Carries a Revolver. Yesterday asa man was—walking along one of the principal streets of town a little dog dodged out of a store and commenced barking at him. He drew a. revolver—from his pocket and leveled it at the canine, whose owner just then appeared onthe sceife and called it off before the trigger of the weapon was pulled, .

SOME SAWING. A Brief Reference te the Extensive Enterprise Condacted by a Pioneer Lumberman, L: Voss, the well-kgown lumberman of Little York township, ranks among the pioneers of Nevada county.~ He came liere in 1850, and engaged ip, mining with good success fer tive years, Since the latter time he has devoted all his attention to the lumber business, and ranks tothe Coast. He now turns out daily about 25,000 feet of sugar. pine, yellow pine and spruce, from his mill on Greenhorn creek, and finds that he cannot begin to supply the demand which principally comes from ditch and mining companies. He keeps 35 nren employed in connection with this.mill.Some_of the lumber is. shipped to San Francisco, where it sells for $40 atid $25 per M, According to quality: “The higher priced kind is said to be the best produced any wheres in this part of the ‘counIn orderto keep ‘pace with the growing trade, Mr. Voss is efecting apother mill about three ‘miles below the one now im operation, and on Greenhorn creek: This will lave a capacity of 30,000 feet per day. Jefferson Doolitte has surveyed for a wagon road by which the proact of this mill can: bé hauled diréotte the Natrow Gauge railroad and then shipped to the Bay. The read is now in process of construction, and will cost not less than $8,000. ‘The new mill will be completed this Fall, and then the proprietor will turn out with the two not lesq than 55,000 feet of lumber a day, and j much more if necessary, Mr. Voss had a survey made with ‘the intention-of constructing a_narrow guage railroad to connect his lumber yards with the Nevada Cownty Narfow Guage road. He could have built-it at an outlay of not to exceed $40,000, including rolling stock; but upon more mature deliberation concluded not to go to ‘the expense as he had tokeep about so many teams to supply the local trade, and they could also be used in hauling to the railroad. Mr. Voss has enough timber land? secured by patent, in that section, to keep both of his mills running constantly for twenty years or more tocome. His principal trade extends over the large scope of country lying between Grass Valley and Bear Valley, and is annually increasing. THompson & Wesr are the Pioneer publishers of County Atlases and County Histories on the Pacific Coast. : ™ tae. =e . District Court. WepyFspay, July 30th.

The Virginia Chronicle says of Meactow-Lake mining region in this county: The camp is all gone to the dogs and the mines about the place, with their machinery and” hoisting . ‘works, are gradually mouldering into decay, and there. is nothing but ruin everywhere. The town is now occupied by—-ten-men,-two-women, two cats, a dog (dying) and a mule who occasionally amuses hinwelf kicking down a row of buildings. He kicks down one building at the end, and the rest fall asa matter of course. Hundreds of houses have been crushed flat by the snow. One man claims fourteen buildings and. is trying to occupy them all. Another man has located 46 ledges, and is waiting for some capitalist to come along and buy himout. Occasionally a ground hog wanders unmolested through the. streets, or a bear eomes in and inmonotony considerably, and such visitors are always welcome. , To visit such a spot reminds one of Hood's wierd’s poem, ‘‘The Haunted House,” . A Novel Team. Jennie Graham, the winsome little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Graham, has discovered a novel and. interesting plaything. It consists of a team of four grasshoppers, harnessed by meansof threads passed around their bodies, under their wings. Their drawing poweris considerable, ‘and they work with as little kicking as the average mule, At last accounts several of these grasshopper teams were being caught and harnessed up by the little folks of Truckee.—Republican, Clerical Amenities.

Not that newspaper men are ordinarily abashed when they run afoul of a pretty female. No, indeed, But then this one was made u)in such queer style. She was a full fledged mountaineeress—a_rey’lar snorter. She hada pretty face. The bright eyes that peered from under the rim—of -her hat‘told -plainly that she didn’t care a cent whether school kept.or not. But that wasn’t what made the modest scribe blush so, She had on a dress that hung just to her knees. Then she was ba ef ated. And didn’t wear any ‘stockings. Wasn’t that enough to make all the men run away when they saw her approaching—an. act that we deeply regret some of them wece too absent minded to’ perform. ee a Oe Rvery Store Room Occupied.

The Treasurer is allowed all the deputies he may require to run the office. But if they receive pay for such service, the Treasurer must pay them from his own pocket, for the county of Nevada pays no salary for a deputy Treasurer, Hoping the above information will be satisfactory to jsome of my doubtful friends, Iam very respectfully, J.N.

SOME SAWING. A Brief Reference te the Extensive Enterprise Condacted by a Pioneer Lumberman, L: Voss, the well-kgown lumberman of Little York township, ranks among the pioneers of Nevada county.~ He came liere in 1850, and engaged ip, mining with good success fer tive years, Since the latter time he has devoted all his attention to the lumber business, and ranks tothe Coast. He now turns out daily about 25,000 feet of sugar. pine, yellow pine and spruce, from his mill on Greenhorn creek, and finds that he cannot begin to supply the demand which principally comes from ditch and mining companies. He keeps 35 nren employed in connection with this.mill..Some_of the lumber is. shipped to San Francisco, where it sells for $40 atid $25 per M, According to quality: “The higher priced kind is said to be the best produced any wheres in this part of the ‘counIn orderto keep ‘pace with the growing trade, Mr. Voss is efecting apother mill about three ‘miles below the one now im operation, and on Greenhorn creek: This will lave a capacity of 30,000 feet per day. Jefferson Doolitte has surveyed for a wagon road by which the proact of this mill can: bé hauled diréotte the Natrow Gauge railroad and then shipped to the Bay. The read is now in process of construction, and will cost not less than $8,000. ‘The new mill will be completed this Fall, and then the proprietor will turn out with the two not lesq than 55,000 feet of lumber a day, and j much more if necessary, Mr. Voss had a survey made with ‘the intention-of constructing a_narrow guage railroad to connect his lumber yards with the Nevada Cownty Narfow Guage road. He could have built-it at an outlay of not to exceed $40,000, including rolling stock; but upon more mature deliberation concluded not to go to ‘the expense as he had tokeep about so many teams to supply the local trade, and they could also be used in hauling to the railroad. Mr. Voss has enough timber land? secured by patent, in that section, to keep both of his mills running constantly for twenty years or more tocome. His principal trade extends over the large scope of country lying between Grass Valley and Bear Valley, and is annually increasing.

The Virginia Chronicle says of Meactow-Lake mining region in this county: The camp is all gone to the dogs and the mines about the place, with their machinery and” hoisting . ‘works, are gradually mouldering into decay, and there. is nothing but ruin everywhere. The town is now occupied by—-ten-men,-two-women, two cats, a dog (dying) and a mule who occasionally amuses hinwelf kicking down a row of buildings. He kicks down one building at the end, and the rest fall asa matter of course. Hundreds of houses have been crushed flat by the snow. One man claims fourteen buildings and. is trying to occupy them all. Another man has located 46 ledges, and is waiting for some capitalist to come along and buy himout. Occasionally a ground hog wanders unmolested through the. streets, or a bear eomes in and inmonotony considerably, and such visitors are always welcome. , To visit such a spot reminds one of Hood's wierd’s poem, ‘‘The Haunted House,” . A Novel Team. Jennie Graham, the winsome little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Graham, has discovered a novel and. interesting plaything. It consists of a team of four grasshoppers, harnessed by meansof threads passed around their bodies, under their wings. Their drawing poweris considerable, ‘and they work with as little kicking as the average mule, At last accounts several of these grasshopper teams were being caught and harnessed up by the little folks of Truckee.—Republican, Clerical Amenities.
