NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, F tablished. .«se BO Dtember 6, 1860. —— Saturday, Mey 10th; 1879. rrr VPROOF OF THE PU DDING. The Efe et the Adoption ef the New Constitution ts Already Beginning to -Have in Nevada County. ~ Novada evaaty 14 ‘already 7 ibeginning to feel the effeets of the ‘adoptioret the nea Constitation, The Gold Hill mine, of rass Valley. district, idle until. the cata t-t_of the le,zi-lition in store forien enier rises is fully deteris tO remin miped. ‘Tue Uuion tells us that the Goll Tilt was one of the pioneer q tariz. vnines of the district; from wiishalarge amount of gold wasidte for whén it was rev.ved under the auspices of an incorporated company. Tifis compiny had done a large anount of work at a heavy expendimoney, when it was compelled’ to shut down, a-féw months Oo, On account of not being—pre= pared to fight the heavy flow. of @ater that the :-Winter -orought. The appearance of the mine was becoming really encouraging. . During the temporary suspension of work the boilers. and smachinery have been put in good condition, and the company was making all prepurations to fesume operation during the present season, Had the mine t from 80 to 60 miners’ ture of started up, would have received employment . there during the coming season. ‘Luis is not done as an election scare, as the election is over,. but as a prudential business measure, Thecompany has expended a large amount: of money -and does not propose to take any uncertain chances, so faras lesis'ation is concerned—deeming it au sulliGent risk. to spend money in diavelopiog a mine under the old Constitution, which -has heretefore Justered and protected the business, The. Watt Company of Bloomfield district, recently suspended operations, after baving paid out over $100,000 in prospecting for the cl hanoel. Jt was their intention in case the new Constitution had been dteated to resume operations soon, by sinking another shaft in a different locality from the old one. The _di-eeibrs now state that the outlook savors 8) strong)y of discriminating luws azainst mining operations, “ uhey have concluded to abandon aM ideas of resumiug prospecting, and will remove all machinery from the property, Thus, at least forty more ’ white miners loose: the prospect of finding employment, The Adlante . ‘mining company is ~~ maide up of anumber of the leading s fn ae aa ee ee business men and° miners of Nevada county. They have been prospecting extensively, and were on the point of putting up machinery soon so.as to.increase the extént of their operations, » But now they propose ta throw up the sponge. None of thein will act as directors under the new Constitution, although they are all wartn friends. No one will give or rent them machinery, and they dcem it will not pay to purchase. ‘They propose to abandon the prop_ erty, and on no other account than thatithey regard the new Constitution would prevent. their success in’ vari Q .3 Ways apparent to all. ae Cy. The Kentoh Mince. The prospects of the Kenton quartz mine, near Alleghany City,: Sierra county, are daily improving. An extensive body of rich ore, speci“mens of which .were on exhibition yesterday at the National Hotel in this city, is developed and ready for extraction. It.is safe to say that over one thousand tons is now in sight inthe mine. The taking out and crushing has bow been going on for several weeks, and with highly favorable results. There is sufficient water to run all the machinery, and the expense’ is consequently light. Itis.one of the solid mines of this part of the State, and. is bound to make a healthy record the coming “summer. About 20 skilled miners are now employ: ed. at the Kenton, besides a cousiserable foree of other workmen, There‘are 1,500 men now engagod in the Canada’ Pagijfic. Railroad stike, and violence ig threatened, a . ‘ Walls {” NEVADA COUNTY IS TRUE BLUE, She Sits Down on'the New Constitutien Eleven Times that We Know of Already, and Alleged Irregularities are Likely to Make it er 260 Tincs More. ~~ Nevada county is entitled to an everlasting crown of glory férthe no-" -ble stand shie-took.in expressing her enmity for the new Constitution. It may be true that she did not do so bya very great majority ; but at the same time it should be—remembered . that a powartal element had to be en that the Rearneyites were once in the ascendancy. They would’ still have been, if a determined fight had ‘not been made by -the opposition speakers, the Union and the Transcript. No other section of the State can produce as grand a record as Nevada county made on the Constitution question. gThe unprejudiced were ‘led to view. the subject in in its proper aspect, and although the new Constitution had the: great mass of our voters ov its side only a few weeks since,-when the time for election came an astonishing changes had taken place. For its own interest, Nevada county should have cast & UNANIMOUS VOTE against it. The following table gives the latest and -the correct returns : Old. New.

"6 34, 2 OUTAL ssc 1888 ~ 1877 The old Constitution has according to it a majority of 11. votes. Irregularities are reported, however, from Lowell Hill, North Bloomfield, Moore’s Flat and Lake City. A careful investigation isto be made, and the probabilities are that the vote in all, or nearly all, of those precincts will be thrown’out. In event they are, the majority against the new Constitution in this county will be swelled to nearly 200 votes. Let us pray it maybe so. Monor to Nevada City. The Grass Valley Union, which by the way made one of the most effective fights for the salvation of. the “Old Ship” of any newspaper in the State, thus compliments the good sense displayed by Nevada City’s voters at the late election: ‘The city of Nevada, against thenew Constitution, is really one of the most remarkable results of the late ele. tion’ The place has been a stronghold: of the Workingmen’s party, which has shown its-head and power @ year.or more on the occasion of all elections, whether for schools, town or géounty. One month-ago it was confidently claimed by these supporters that they would carry the .town by from 250. to 350 majority; and no later than the night before the election one of the leaders of the, party told the editor of the Union that they would obtain a majority of 200 there. The friends of the old Constitution did grand work on election day, and well may they feel proud of it. The: news, when it reached Grass Valley, created the “greatest enthusiasm, and although we were yery proud of our 307 majority we felt that Nevada had won a_ victory e t consideri the P work “ AB grog i ee 7. + Fouival ana and Bunte: Next Thursday evening the ladies of Pheenix Guild will give a strawberry festival at Temperance Hall, A fine quartette has been engaged to furnish music for dancing, ~ tie +*ang the Banner on the Outer 4 majority of 24 votes obtained in the : Prof. Weed's Concert. “Therewas present a moderately size audience at the concert in the Pheatre Thursday evening. first -overture . by’ Profs.

Muller and Jenkins was pleasing. Mrs. Beatty rendered thé piano solo ‘‘Mumettoand ‘Rondo” in a manner to prove herself a thorough artist. By the way, this lady is said to be one of the most finished pianists in this.portion of the State, and she certainly sustained that reputation on the occasion of her appearance Thursday-evening. ‘The concert, as a whole, was enjoyable, afid the audience displayed their approbation by frequently applauding the performers.
