The mining prospect on the Ridge
is getting better every day, The

running to their utmost capacity,
and the mountains and hills are
whelting under the pressure of the
large hodies of water forced through
the monitors. At Moore's Flat the’
present mining season will make
it one of the liveliest mining: camps

erected two buildings on their claims, .
‘each one being eighty feet long; forty feet wide and two stories high.
They have the mabhinery in, and‘
ave at present busily engaged in putménsions;rsixteen feet in length by

down at present a depth of-eighty
feet, It isthe intention of the com>}
pany to sink it one hundred and
seventy feet deeper,which at that
depth they estimate will strike the
“bed rock. “The total length of the:
shaft‘when completed’ will. be two
lrundred and fifty feet. The work
is being done in a substanzial manner, and is pronounced by "Judges to
be one of the finest pieces of work

Mr. Eprror: In this morning’s is.
sue of your paper you spéak ‘sncouragingly of an effort on the part of
our firemen to get up a celebration
of the coming anniversary of ovr nafavored witl celébrations of late,
and the pockets of our citizens so
far depleted thereby that it may well
he doubted if the people at large
will déem it wise, under all the circumstances, to attempt a celebration
of the coming Fourth of July in Nevada City. The centennial antiiverversary of our nation’s birth should
not surely be eelebrated. by ceremonies tending to detraet from, rather
than add to the importance of the ocreasion, Our neighbors of Grass
Valley are preparing to-commemorate the day we love in a manter befitting asall. I would suggest therefore,that on so important an occasion
other*considerations: beneath patriotism and one and all'unite with the.
people of-Grass Valley in a celebration which shall do credit to ourselves
and-the oeeasion, It is in the natural order of things that narrowminded men in each of our towns
should feel’nrore or less rivalry to-.
ward their-neighbors; and I submit
that the coming Fourth:is a fit oecasion for generous, noble-minded cit. izens, bothshere and-in Grasse Valley;
‘to fraternize, and by showing themselves superior to all petty strife amd’
jealousy, set an example worthy, of
imitation, and at the same time give
vent to the noblest impulses of our
nature, _
Our gallant firemen will, I om
sure, bd invited to participate withtheir brethren at Grass Valley on
that occasion, and should we all
unite in making a success of the effort of our neighbors, good will result therefrom. Nevapa,

probably be great competition for
that hog’s greased ‘tail, as many
of the-citizens of that place are daily practicing in catching hogs by the

the Cincinnati Convention. No other
candidate has been so thoroughly investigated, and théy claim that there
is no more reason why charges should
be brought against him than any, of

says there is an understanding belatter’s strength shall go-to the former in case he is compelled to abandon the field. himself,

The Dutch Flat Forum says:: ‘The:
citizens of this place. were. greatly.
shocked at the news last Saturday,
thut Benj. Williams and William
Laird had lost their lives by being
carried out of the tunnel of the Polar
Star claim by an unusual rash of
water and gravel, Their bodies
were subsequently recovered at the
river in sueh a bruised and mangled
condition as to be scarcely, recogniza—
ble by their friends, The bodies
were brought in town and Dr. Mar-.
tim-arranged them in the best condition possible, before they were pre-sented to their relatives. Mr, Wil.
liains wus a young man and leaves a
wife and chiid, who were maialy

He-had expressed u determination to

has fullowed mining nearly all his
life, He had met witb serious: acciGeits several times which cawe near
