Formerly Worked For Sam. Ed. Downerof the National Hotel work in Plumas county forSam Black who was a few days ago. murdered at Virginia. City by John Black, his brother. Sam was one the original owners, if not the locator, of the famous Plumas-Eureka mine which has producéd fabulous wealth. In 1860 or ’61 he sold out his interest therein for $25,009, and shortly afterward went to the Comstock, where he invested most of the money in erecting the Black building, corner of C andTaylor. Times were good, rents high, and in a short time the building had: paid for itself. John Black came along some time atau, and Sam left the property in. his charge— giving him the interest he still retains in it—wh.le Sam was attraced to Idaho by the mining excitement there, and sank what money he had in speculation. He returned to the Comstock shortly before the big fire of 1875, and , owing to his reverses desired that the amount of insurance on the building should be reduced from $20,000 or $25,000 to $10,000. This was done,and shortly after the big fire destroyed the great structure. From that time the brothers began to quarrel, John blaming his brother for having failed to keep up the insurance, and Sam quietly taking his own part. In the re-erection of the building John had to dip into his pocket to some extent, and in that way got control of the property. Sam naturally smarted over the situation. While doing all the work about a building he had originally built with his own money, the brother he had assisted was the walking gentleman, having the main say in everything that ‘concerned their mutual interests. It isa fearful outcome of a long and ‘bitter strife between the two.old men. School Notes. The following public schools of the county have cloged for the summer. vacation: Pleasant Ridge, Miss Annie Herrod ; Iron Mountain, Miss Mamie Sanford ; French Cofral, D. Mahoney. Of the 84 teachers in this county, it is estimated that 60 will attend the National Institute at San Francisco next July. ‘ The railroads reduce the rates of transportation for persons attending the Institute to two-thirds of the usual price. The stage companies of this county propose to be still more liberal, charging but half fare. Superintendent Tiffany returned yesterday noon from a week’s visit to the schools in the lower part of the county. i : Should be Strictly Regulated. Another big band of sheep was driven through town early yesterday morning. The Board of Trustees should prohibit their passage along the business and residence streets, as they area decided nuisance because of kicking up so much dust, damaging roadways and breaking sidewalks. The Trustees undoubtedly have a right to euppress such an unmitigated nuisance. While the city authorities ‘are doing this, the county authorities should see to it that no anti-miner’s sheep brought here for summer paéturage escape the tax levied by the Supervisors. New Hotel at Grass Valley. Manager Kidder has a very desirable hotel site in the town of Grass Valley. Itisanelevated tract situated in northerly direction from his beautiful home, and is covered with a grove of thrifty trees that furnish refreshing shade. He will doubtless make arrangements before the close of another year for the erection there of a large and first-class hotel where health and pleasure seekers can be accommodated.

A Pioneer Miner Who Sees Something Besides Gold Mines: For years there has been no commoner expression.here in the mining region to emphasize a man’s disability when he is down in the world than is signified in the caption: ‘‘Poor devil, he’s down to the bedrock.” And for a time it was appropriate, as the bedrock unless permeated with small and unimportant gold-bearing quartz seams (not lodes) was assayed by common consent as worthless. Iam impelled to notice the subject by some changes in my views, impressed by late observation, though not new as an idea. Draper in his masterful delineation of the rise, progress, culmination and-fall of peoples, nations and countries, shows no example of the resurrection of any notably prosperous era in the same century or same generation, by the same people who had pronounced it dead. ~ “Being in need of exercise, the writer ground familiar to him since the “days of ’49,”’ and noted in their succession the changes that ten years had made. At first thought, and from the superficial view, the prospect was demoralizing and engendered gloomy forbodings. Bedrock, bedrock and bedrock! Desolate bedrock, where he had gathered ina rocker the more, concentrated gold in 1850. Bedrock where he had screen of the long-tom in 1851. Bedrock where Amos T. Laird first ground-sluiced: by. benches in 1852, and then paved the way for the iron pipe by the use of a canvas: hydraulic hose. Up-and down through those nowplayed-out dominiens he had often wandered and pondered on the melancholy privilege of seeing a veritable desolation without the archeologist’s trouble of visiting some Tadmor in the desert, the dead city of Zenobia, or of disturbing the vigil of the sphinx watching the pyarmids for thirty centuries. How we have crowded into a moment of time the changes only wrought by cycles in the bygone ages. Looking above me I pictured on my memory’s vision old American Hill. Situated somewhere between me and the modest planet that breaks the realm of space stands the boarding house kept by Mr. Stiles, and I see Susan, busy among the scores of boarders ; while all along the cabins of the miners stood. I see old faces: Reed and Hi Johnson and scores of others rushing towards their hostelry, the Rising Sun. To the northeast the now phantom town of Coyoteville fills up the aerial panorama. Played out ? No! A new revelation is approaching. Time is repeating a coincidence in a transformation older than the Mosaic record, old as the fitting of this planet for the abode of man. Now from the bedrock is springing a wealth of vegetation, under the changed relations probably more varied than that which after cycles of ages made it the possible abode of primitive and savage man. We have all the advantage gathered from the past. We have the power to live on what we have attained until the possipili ies of the present-innovation are attainabl>, and in the not far distant future at that. The realm. of. possibility for the ancient has evolved: into the realm ofjgertainty té-us.’ Nob many years ago, H-ampng others, scraped that bedroek ‘for ¢! fe tast color, make a home ‘as to attampt it: there; but it is already proven that the:‘bed. rock, more especially where gypsum predominates over the granite, is far better than common soil for trees. Bedrock has no element to absorb the dew and rain in the shape of weeds or but a few inches, and the heat by the attractive quality of refraction draws the moisture to the surface. All miners have seen and well know, that roots, flattened to fit, penetrate the seams and cleavage of the bedrock from five to fifteen feet in search of water. So with trees. The tap roots. will be all the stronger where there are no lateral roots. On the road from Carson T traveled through a magnificent forest of pines. There was not a suspicion of soil.’ The granite was white, all but the gypsum having bleached. Right here where the old primeval forest was in 1849, without a sign of undergrowth, there is now so dense athicket of manzanita that no man can thread the labyrinth in a cloudy day, and where the manzanita little apple flourishes, the manzana big apple is athome. The swelling of the lateral roots breaks the surface and letsinthe air and water, and oxidizes the granite,, destroying the iron, and developing other and more tractable ingredients. I ran foul of some barbed wire, and though it restricted my liberty somewhat it was plain to me thata younger man, especially if he had a family to utilize in the future his efforts, has no reason to tramp, To make a home here there. will be noinstaliments to pay, no danger, of im~proving and getting left at last. Potatoes and cabbageg suit the common needs, as well as oranges. It is easy to have a kitchen garden, as there are moist places on the bedrock that don’t dry out.

A Nevada. County Man’s Observations Around Los Angeles. Eprrok Transcert—I have now been in this part of the State something like a year and have had a pretty good opportunity to observe things as they really are. Despite the many other things that have demanded my attention, let me remark parenthetically that I have been a constant and interested reader of the Datty Transcript and have seen with gratification the jintelligent and enthusiastic course it has pursued fn presenting to the. world at large accounts of the many inducements which my old home holds out to home and health seekers. No section possessing the natural advantages that Nevada county does, and having them advertised inthe conservative and thoroughly reliable manner that the Transcript advertises. them in every issue, can long remain an unknown quanti1¥, 5 Your present. course faithfully persisted in will in due time bring about results that the most hopeful of your people will be amazed at. Rome was not built in a day, and Northern Central California better have a boom built on a solid baiis and put up ina shape to stay, than to have the mushroom creation that Southern California has and which is now wilting away as mushrooms wilt. I do not believe in building up one section by defamation of another, but the. cold, unvarnished truth is no slander. ThereforeI say advisedly that this section is over-rated out of all reason by the boomers and papers here, and I do not feel conscience-stricken in saying it. Here we have the penetrating chill of the fogs, the cuticle-cutting winds, the torrid rays of a super-heated sunshine, and all that, regardless of rule as to time of day, or season of year. In the, Sierra Nevada foothills you have aclime beyond compare elsewhere in the State—a clime that brings health and hope to the resident. Los Angeles has been a much advertised place, and has in consequence beconie familiar in every household throughout the length and breadth of the United States. Its ‘‘salubrious Climate” and ‘‘continual summer weather,”’ and its industries and busihess opportunities have been boldly and conspicuously -set forth in. all quarters, and many people who have read have believed; and as soon as they could accumulate enough money to come to the land of ‘‘sunshine and oranges”’ they have come. The very natural result is that Los Angeles is now filled with a mass of idle persons. Los Angeles has; as weaill admit, a climate which excels in every point that of the Eastern States, and it is also quite a city, but it is not, at present, a suitable place for the working man or the man with but small capital. Of course men of means can come here to enjoy the mild. winters and see the sights, but the man who is obliged to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow finds a discouraging state of affairs and had in my judgment, better locate in some northern county where the climate is as mild and more healthful. The real estate boom here is effectubadly bursted< «All kinds. of business ig dull in. consequence and will! rkemain so'till the reaction is over. It difficult. task to secure employ‘*oent) here of any kind. Mechanics Who-are unable to find work at their trade are compelled to do the work of common laborers at the low pay of from $1.50 to $2 a day, and there are hundreds of men here who are glad to secure a job at those figures.

Gaylord’s store some samples of gelatine manufactured by Wilhelm Camer and John Drabek of Quaker Hill. It is of the purest ,and best quality, such as is commonly retailed at about $1.50 a pound. The highgrade gelatine sold on this coast is al) brought here from the Eastern States and from France, and is principally used for cooking purposes and for settling wines, beer, etc. A cheaper quality, used largely in kalsomining, brings. about 60 cents a _ pound. Messrs. Camer and Drabek are expertsin making this valuable product, having for some time held leading positions in a large factory. They have so-fur engagzd in the business herein a small way only, but they feel satisfied that they will be warranted in eventually going into it on an extensive scale. Threats of Lynching. A Truckee dispatch of Thursday says: John Payton died this afternoon at Boca. His slayer, Wm. Keyes, is closely guarded in the Truckee jail, as rumor says’ an attempt will be-made} ty Payton’s friends to lynch him. Both men were river-drivers aud helped on the Boca Mill Company’s mammoth drive of 6,000,000 feet of logs. They. had never quarreled, and Keyes was looking for another man. ‘The shooting was wholly unprovoked, and Keyes ascribes it to whiskey. Payton was 30 years old. His two brothers arrived from Sierra City today. Funeral of Mex. Sloan. ~ The funeral of Alex. Sloan, who died at San Francisco Friday, will take place from Masonic Hall in this city at 1:50 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.

The members of Nevada City Council, A. L. of H., will meet at: their Hall at 1 o’clock for the purpose of attending. Was Unanimously Adopted, The San Juan Times seems to be in doubt as to whether the resolution é@ndorsing Judge Searls was passed by the Democratic county convention. Through an oversight, no statementwas made in the published report of the proceedings as to what was done with the resolution. Far the information of the Times, it is now remarked that it was adopted unanimously. The Forester’s Picnic. The Foresters of this city and Grass Valley are determined to make their picnic at Chicago Park on the 24th instant a grand success. The exhibition drill by the uniformed members, as well as the various games and amusements that are arranged for, will be exceedingly interesting. The railroad ride to and from the grove isa pleasant one. Gammening the Public. There are innumerable ways: of doing this.

Organizing a Company in England to Work this Old Mine: “London Money” of April 18th says: “The Original Pittsburg Gold Mines (Limited) Company has been formed with a capital of £100,000 in £1 shares for the purpose of acquiring and extending the working of the Pittsburg gold mine, situated in the Grass Valley district, in the county of Nevathe most active centers of quartz mining in California, The. initial fact in favor of the Company is the sponsorBank, ‘of Old Broad street, by whom the issue'is made. The board, too, is a strong one, headed by. Mr. Esslemont, M. P., of Aberdeen, while of the directors in California two are connected with leading firms in San Francisco, thus securing an efficient control of the company’s operations on the spot. Amongst the other. attractive points in the company’s prospectus it is stated that in the immediate vicinity of the Pittsburg mine are some of,the oldest-and most productive gold mines in the State, including the Idaho, the Eureka and Empire mines, whose joint production of gold has amounted to over ten millions of dollars. Thé Idaho, which. is considered to be the richest mine in California, is at a distance of less than 1,000 yards from the Pittsburg, the same .as that of the Idaho and Empire mines. The character -for depth and permanence, of the quartz veins in this district, is stated to be conclusively established, some of the mines above named having attained a depth of 2,500 fect, and the quartz which they are now getting is better than that which came from the upper levels. The Pittsburg mine is easy of the branch road from Colfax on the Central Pacifie road to Nevada City passing through the company’s property.” tages New Postoffice Building. .: Postmaster Hubachek has entered upon the discharge of his duties at Chicago Park, and the Narrow Gauge passenger trains now stop there regularly to leave and receive mail, express and passengers. The new postoffice building is about completed. — It is a small and unpretentious structure, but is conviently arranged and will answer very well so far as present needs are concerned. It stands ina grove of young pines just north of tie sawmill, and not far from the new boarding house. Hubachek says that by the time the business of the office increases to $3,000 a year he thinks the Congressional Act providing for the construction by the Government ofa postoffice building at each town whose office does that much business, will have been passed. Mr. Hubachek will then strike Uncle Sam for a brown-stone front, and he will get it or know the reason why. : That Tired Feeling Season is here again, . and nearly every one feela weak, languid, and exhausted. The bluod, laden with impurities which have been accumulating for months, moves sluggishly through the veins, the mind fails to think quickly, and the body is still slower to respond. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is just what is needed, It is, in a peculiar sense, the ideal spring medicine. It purifies, vitalizes, and enriches the blood, makes the head clear, creates an appetite, overcomes that tired feeling,and imparts new strength and vigor to the whole body. a ee A Charge of Larceny. Charles Grady on .Friday made complaint in: Justice Sowden’s court at this city charging Frank Mills of the Central House with stealing from his cabin a violin belonging to another man und left in Grady’s charge.

The jar-. . ! BAD BOYS. \ An. Organized Gang of Juvenile Chicken Thieves. eee P Oe For the past ‘six weeks or two months various poultry yards about town have been frequently raided, and the thieves have carried on. their operations so smartly as. to be undiscovered till now. One man had 31 chickens stolen, another missed about two dozen, and several others have had smaller numbers taken. sae : During the past week constable Dillon determined to investigate the matter and discover if possible the guilty parties. He has been successful. He learned that eight or ten lads ranging ‘in age from eight to fourteen years aré the offenders, and that they have disposed of their plunder to Chinamen who have paid them a small price therefor. He is of the opinion that -the same boys maytavebeen guilty of perpetrating other thefts, and if they have he expects to obtain evidence to that effect. Whether or not these bad juveniles will be prosecuted has: not yet been determined. If they show a desire to reform and hereafter behave themselves, it may be deemed advisable not to press the present charge against them. That the Chinamen who have been buying the stolen chickens will be prosecuted, is quite likely. Ab Lung called. at the Transcript office yesterday in relation to the foregoing. He saysa man in his employ purchased ‘two chickens a few days ago from two boys, one of whom said his father sent him there to sell them. Ah Lung is an honest man, and no one would think for a moment of accusing hin of intentionally being a party to a dishonest act of any kind. } Where They Were Stolen. Hugh Dever,the alleged vagrant who was given till noon of Friday to leave town, was still loafing around here yesterday. It has not yet been positively ascertained where he got the young chickens found in his possession by officer Scott, consequently no charge of chicken-stealing has been brought against him. Constable Dillon thinks they came froma Gold Flat ranch and were dressed at the old Pioneer sulphuret works. “Mr. Dillon has known Dever for a number of years, ancd-says that he has worked more or less in the mines of Nevada and Sierra counties, although he is not noted for being industrious. This is the first time, so far as is known here, of his being suspected of anything as mean as chicken stealing. Con. Seaman Assaulted, It is reported that at Marysville thrée days agoa sport named Robinson tried to ring in anextra card on Con. Seaman of this city, and that when the latter protested Robinson drew a knife and making a lunge at him cut a six-inch gash in one of his arms. Seaman then turned on his assailant, took the knife away, and gave him a deserved beating. SSA Vee ff Ascension Sunday.

Formerly Worked For Sam. Ed. Downerof the National Hotel work in Plumas county forSam Black who was a few days ago. murdered at Virginia. City by John Black, his brother. Sam was one the original owners, if not the locator, of the famous Plumas-Eureka mine which has producéd fabulous wealth. In 1860 or ’61 he sold out his interest therein for $25,009, and shortly afterward went to the Comstock, where he invested most of the money in erecting the Black building, corner of C andTaylor. Times were good, rents high, and in a short time the building had: paid for itself. John Black came along some time atau, and Sam left the property in. his charge— giving him the interest he still retains in it—wh.le Sam was attraced to Idaho by the mining excitement there, and sank what money he had in speculation. He returned to the Comstock shortly before the big fire of 1875, and , owing to his reverses desired that the amount of insurance on the building should be reduced from $20,000 or $25,000 to $10,000. This was done,and shortly after the big fire destroyed the great structure. From that time the brothers began to quarrel, John blaming his brother for having failed to keep up the insurance, and Sam quietly taking his own part. In the re-erection of the building John had to dip into his pocket to some extent, and in that way got control of the property. Sam naturally smarted over the situation. While doing all the work about a building he had originally built with his own money, the brother he had assisted was the walking gentleman, having the main say in everything that ‘concerned their mutual interests. It isa fearful outcome of a long and ‘bitter strife between the two.old men. School Notes. The following public schools of the county have cloged for the summer. vacation: Pleasant Ridge, Miss Annie Herrod ; Iron Mountain, Miss Mamie Sanford ; French Cofral, D. Mahoney. Of the 84 teachers in this county, it is estimated that 60 will attend the National Institute at San Francisco next July. ‘ The railroads reduce the rates of transportation for persons attending the Institute to two-thirds of the usual price. The stage companies of this county propose to be still more liberal, charging but half fare. Superintendent Tiffany returned yesterday noon from a week’s visit to the schools in the lower part of the county. i : Should be Strictly Regulated. Another big band of sheep was driven through town early yesterday morning. The Board of Trustees should prohibit their passage along the business and residence streets, as they area decided nuisance because of kicking up so much dust, damaging roadways and breaking sidewalks. The Trustees undoubtedly have a right to euppress such an unmitigated nuisance. While the city authorities ‘are doing this, the county authorities should see to it that no anti-miner’s sheep brought here for summer paéturage escape the tax levied by the Supervisors.

A Pioneer Miner Who Sees Something Besides Gold Mines: For years there has been no commoner expression.here in the mining region to emphasize a man’s disability when he is down in the world than is signified in the caption: ‘‘Poor devil, he’s down to the bedrock.” And for a time it was appropriate, as the bedrock unless permeated with small and unimportant gold-bearing quartz seams (not lodes) was assayed by common consent as worthless. Iam impelled to notice the subject by some changes in my views, impressed by late observation, though not new as an idea. Draper in his masterful delineation of the rise, progress, culmination and-fall of peoples, nations and countries, shows no example of the resurrection of any notably prosperous era in the same century or same generation, by the same people who had pronounced it dead. ~ “Being in need of exercise, the writer ground familiar to him since the “days of ’49,”’ and noted in their succession the changes that ten years had made. At first thought, and from the superficial view, the prospect was demoralizing and engendered gloomy forbodings. Bedrock, bedrock and bedrock! Desolate bedrock, where he had gathered ina rocker the more, concentrated gold in 1850. Bedrock where he had screen of the long-tom in 1851. Bedrock where Amos T. Laird first ground-sluiced: by. benches in 1852, and then paved the way for the iron pipe by the use of a canvas: hydraulic hose. Up-and down through those nowplayed-out dominiens he had often wandered and pondered on the melancholy privilege of seeing a veritable desolation without the archeologist’s trouble of visiting some Tadmor in the desert, the dead city of Zenobia, or of disturbing the vigil of the sphinx watching the pyarmids for thirty centuries. How we have crowded into a moment of time the changes only wrought by cycles in the bygone ages. Looking above me I pictured on my memory’s vision old American Hill. Situated somewhere between me and the modest planet that breaks the realm of space stands the boarding house kept by Mr. Stiles, and I see Susan, busy among the scores of boarders ; while all along the cabins of the miners stood. I see old faces: Reed and Hi Johnson and scores of others rushing towards their hostelry, the Rising Sun. To the northeast the now phantom town of Coyoteville fills up the aerial panorama. Played out ? No! A new revelation is approaching. Time is repeating a coincidence in a transformation older than the Mosaic record, old as the fitting of this planet for the abode of man. Now from the bedrock is springing a wealth of vegetation, under the changed relations probably more varied than that which after cycles of ages made it the possible abode of primitive and savage man. We have all the advantage gathered from the past. We have the power to live on what we have attained until the possipili ies of the present-innovation are attainabl>, and in the not far distant future at that. The realm. of. possibility for the ancient has evolved: into the realm ofjgertainty té-us.’ Nob many years ago, H-ampng others, scraped that bedroek ‘for ¢! fe tast color, make a home ‘as to attampt it: there; but it is already proven that the:‘bed. rock, more especially where gypsum predominates over the granite, is far better than common soil for trees. Bedrock has no element to absorb the dew and rain in the shape of weeds or but a few inches, and the heat by the attractive quality of refraction draws the moisture to the surface. All miners have seen and well know, that roots, flattened to fit, penetrate the seams and cleavage of the bedrock from five to fifteen feet in search of water. So with trees. The tap roots. will be all the stronger where there are no lateral roots. On the road from Carson T traveled through a magnificent forest of pines. There was not a suspicion of soil.’ The granite was white, all but the gypsum having bleached. Right here where the old primeval forest was in 1849, without a sign of undergrowth, there is now so dense athicket of manzanita that no man can thread the labyrinth in a cloudy day, and where the manzanita little apple flourishes, the manzana big apple is athome. The swelling of the lateral roots breaks the surface and letsinthe air and water, and oxidizes the granite,, destroying the iron, and developing other and more tractable ingredients. I ran foul of some barbed wire, and though it restricted my liberty somewhat it was plain to me thata younger man, especially if he had a family to utilize in the future his efforts, has no reason to tramp, To make a home here there. will be noinstaliments to pay, no danger, of im~proving and getting left at last. Potatoes and cabbageg suit the common needs, as well as oranges. It is easy to have a kitchen garden, as there are moist places on the bedrock that don’t dry out. There’s soil on the isolated benches, not worked and to be had proveritp:!*improve. you have,” in this connection is better than an endless search for pastures new, with not only the possibility, but -the probability, of being deceived by the. old adage, ‘‘Distance lends enchantment tothe view.” W.K.

A Nevada. County Man’s Observations Around Los Angeles. Eprrok Transcert—I have now been in this part of the State something like a year and have had a pretty good opportunity to observe things as they really are. Despite the many other things that have demanded my attention, let me remark parenthetically that I have been a constant and interested reader of the Datty Transcript and have seen with gratification the jintelligent and enthusiastic course it has pursued fn presenting to the. world at large accounts of the many inducements which my old home holds out to home and health seekers. No section possessing the natural advantages that Nevada county does, and having them advertised inthe conservative and thoroughly reliable manner that the Transcript advertises. them in every issue, can long remain an unknown quanti1¥, 5 Your present. course faithfully persisted in will in due time bring about results that the most hopeful of your people will be amazed at. Rome was not built in a day, and Northern Central California better have a boom built on a solid baiis and put up ina shape to stay, than to have the mushroom creation that Southern California has and which is now wilting away as mushrooms wilt. I do not believe in building up one section by defamation of another, but the. cold, unvarnished truth is no slander. ThereforeI say advisedly that this section is over-rated out of all reason by the boomers and papers here, and I do not feel conscience-stricken in saying it. Here we have the penetrating chill of the fogs, the cuticle-cutting winds, the torrid rays of a super-heated sunshine, and all that, regardless of rule as to time of day, or season of year. In the, Sierra Nevada foothills you have aclime beyond compare elsewhere in the State—a clime that brings health and hope to the resident. Los Angeles has been a much advertised place, and has in consequence beconie familiar in every household throughout the length and breadth of the United States. Its ‘‘salubrious Climate” and ‘‘continual summer weather,”’ and its industries and busihess opportunities have been boldly and conspicuously -set forth in. all quarters, and many people who have read have believed; and as soon as they could accumulate enough money to come to the land of ‘‘sunshine and oranges”’ they have come. The very natural result is that Los Angeles is now filled with a mass of idle persons. Los Angeles has; as weaill admit, a climate which excels in every point that of the Eastern States, and it is also quite a city, but it is not, at present, a suitable place for the working man or the man with but small capital. Of course men of means can come here to enjoy the mild. winters and see the sights, but the man who is obliged to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow finds a discouraging state of affairs and had in my judgment, better locate in some northern county where the climate is as mild and more healthful. The real estate boom here is effectubadly bursted< «All kinds. of business ig dull in. consequence and will! rkemain so'till the reaction is over. It difficult. task to secure employ‘*oent) here of any kind. Mechanics Who-are unable to find work at their trade are compelled to do the work of common laborers at the low pay of from $1.50 to $2 a day, and there are hundreds of men here who are glad to secure a job at those figures.

The highgrade gelatine sold on this coast is al) brought here from the Eastern States and from France, and is principally used for cooking purposes and for settling wines, beer, etc. A cheaper quality, used largely in kalsomining, brings. about 60 cents a _ pound. Messrs. Camer and Drabek are expertsin making this valuable product, having for some time held leading positions in a large factory. They have so-fur engagzd in the business herein a small way only, but they feel satisfied that they will be warranted in eventually going into it on an extensive scale. Threats of Lynching. A Truckee dispatch of Thursday says: John Payton died this afternoon at Boca. His slayer, Wm. Keyes, is closely guarded in the Truckee jail, as rumor says’ an attempt will be-made} ty Payton’s friends to lynch him. Both men were river-drivers aud helped on the Boca Mill Company’s mammoth drive of 6,000,000 feet of logs.

The Foresters of this city and Grass Valley are determined to make their picnic at Chicago Park on the 24th instant a grand success. The exhibition drill by the uniformed members, as well as the various games and amusements that are arranged for, will be exceedingly interesting. The railroad ride to and from the grove isa pleasant one. Gammening the Public. There are innumerable ways: of doing this.

Organizing a Company in England to Work this Old Mine: “London Money” of April 18th says: “The Original Pittsburg Gold Mines (Limited) Company has been formed with a capital of £100,000 in £1 shares for the purpose of acquiring and extending the working of the Pittsburg gold mine, situated in the Grass Valley district, in the county of Nevathe most active centers of quartz mining in California, The. initial fact in favor of the Company is the sponsorBank, ‘of Old Broad street, by whom the issue'is made. The board, too, is a strong one, headed by. Mr. Esslemont, M. P., of Aberdeen, while of the directors in California two are connected with leading firms in San Francisco, thus securing an efficient control of the company’s operations on the spot. Amongst the other. attractive points in the company’s prospectus it is stated that in the immediate vicinity of the Pittsburg mine are some of,the oldest-and most productive gold mines in the State, including the Idaho, the Eureka and Empire mines, whose joint production of gold has amounted to over ten millions of dollars. Thé Idaho, which. is considered to be the richest mine in California, is at a distance of less than 1,000 yards from the Pittsburg, the same .as that of the Idaho and Empire mines. The character -for depth and permanence, of the quartz veins in this district, is stated to be conclusively established, some of the mines above named having attained a depth of 2,500 fect, and the quartz which they are now getting is better than that which came from the upper levels. The Pittsburg mine is easy of the branch road from Colfax on the Central Pacifie road to Nevada City passing through the company’s property.” tages New Postoffice Building. .: Postmaster Hubachek has entered upon the discharge of his duties at Chicago Park, and the Narrow Gauge passenger trains now stop there regularly to leave and receive mail, express and passengers. The new postoffice building is about completed. — It is a small and unpretentious structure, but is conviently arranged and will answer very well so far as present needs are concerned. It stands ina grove of young pines just north of tie sawmill, and not far from the new boarding house. Hubachek says that by the time the business of the office increases to $3,000 a year he thinks the Congressional Act providing for the construction by the Government ofa postoffice building at each town whose office does that much business, will have been passed. Mr. Hubachek will then strike Uncle Sam for a brown-stone front, and he will get it or know the reason why. : That Tired Feeling Season is here again, . and nearly every one feela weak, languid, and exhausted. The bluod, laden with impurities which have been accumulating for months, moves sluggishly through the veins, the mind fails to think quickly, and the body is still slower to respond. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is just what is needed, It is, in a peculiar sense, the ideal spring medicine. It purifies, vitalizes, and enriches the blood, makes the head clear, creates an appetite, overcomes that tired feeling,and imparts new strength and vigor to the whole body. a ee A Charge of Larceny.

Organized Gang of Juvenile Chicken Thieves. eee P Oe For the past ‘six weeks or two months various poultry yards about town have been frequently raided, and the thieves have carried on. their operations so smartly as. to be undiscovered till now. One man had 31 chickens stolen, another missed about two dozen, and several others have had smaller numbers taken. sae : During the past week constable Dillon determined to investigate the matter and discover if possible the guilty parties. He has been successful. He learned that eight or ten lads ranging ‘in age from eight to fourteen years aré the offenders, and that they have disposed of their plunder to Chinamen who have paid them a small price therefor. He is of the opinion that -the same boys maytavebeen guilty of perpetrating other thefts, and if they have he expects to obtain evidence to that effect. Whether or not these bad juveniles will be prosecuted has: not yet been determined. If they show a desire to reform and hereafter behave themselves, it may be deemed advisable not to press the present charge against them. That the Chinamen who have been buying the stolen chickens will be prosecuted, is quite likely. Ab Lung called. at the Transcript office yesterday in relation to the foregoing. He saysa man in his employ purchased ‘two chickens a few days ago from two boys, one of whom said his father sent him there to sell them. Ah Lung is an honest man, and no one would think for a moment of accusing hin of intentionally being a party to a dishonest act of any kind. } Where They Were Stolen. Hugh Dever,the alleged vagrant who was given till noon of Friday to leave town, was still loafing around here yesterday. It has not yet been positively ascertained where he got the young chickens found in his possession by officer Scott, consequently no charge of chicken-stealing has been brought against him. Constable Dillon thinks they came froma Gold Flat ranch and were dressed at the old Pioneer sulphuret works. “Mr. Dillon has known Dever for a number of years, ancd-says that he has worked more or less in the mines of Nevada and Sierra counties, although he is not noted for being industrious. This is the first time, so far as is known here, of his being suspected of anything as mean as chicken stealing. Con. Seaman Assaulted, It is reported that at Marysville thrée days agoa sport named Robinson tried to ring in anextra card on Con. Seaman of this city, and that when the latter protested Robinson drew a knife and making a lunge at him cut a six-inch gash in one of his arms. Seaman then turned on his assailant, took the knife away, and gave him a deserved beating. SSA Vee ff Ascension Sunday.
