Bhe Daily Transcript NEVADA. CITY, CAL. x Saturday, May 99, 1875. The Stiles’ Ledge. Messrs. Ashman, Moore & Knuecttle, of this city, have leased the Stiles, ledge for. one year from the first of next June. ‘hey are now ‘busily engaged in erecting» whim, building car track, blaccsmith shop, -ete.,.on Spring street, in the rear of . the Methodist Oburch, and by Monday will have everything completed, when the work of taking vut rock will be commenced.'The jneline_is. down seventy feet, and ‘the ledge stripped for a ‘distance of at least fifty~feet: ~A~drein-tannel_extends Sheriff Larue’s business uphere the other day was to arrest kidnappers, who were indicted by the Grand Jury of Sacramento county. That kind-of cases atways end in smoke. : The Assessor nd his Deputies! are drawing their business to a close, and all the work will be completed now ina very short time, All persons who have not been assessed had better call upon the Assessor, at the Court House, forthwith. ‘On Monday next, races will commence at’ ‘Sacramento, and continue for five days. Nevada county is always represented’ on such occasions. ~The Grass Valley Union of yesterday gives a review of all the vandidates announced for office, ih that Notes from the Upper Country. The Grass Valley Union says: ‘We met Treasurer Sanford yesterday, jast returned from the upper part of the county, where he has been for sometime engaged in his official duties. He has been through ' the townships of Bridgeport, Bloomfield, Eareka and Washington. He found a pretty general eomplaint of hard times, but on the whole, business and mining matters did not look so badly as he feared from report. At French Corral the usual amount of mining in the deep gravel claims was going on. At Sweetland, the Backeye claim, the property of the English Company, of which Geo, D. McLean is Snperinténdent, has been standing idle for some time, tions havebeen concluded for the. from Door Creek nearly to ‘the incline, which-will give them a depth ~of one hundred-and fifty feet without baing troubled by water. The ledge, “at the bottom of the incline is two feet thick and shows well in sulpburets and free gold. The iast crush ing taken from this ledge, a short : time since, averaged $26 to the ton. We are informed by Mr, Ashman, that one man can take out three tons ‘of quartza day, and that the total cost of raising, hauling and milling the rock, will not exceed $6 per ton. According to this showing, the lessees baye a sure thing on making. from $8 to $10 per day, even if the rock pays but half the yield of the last crushing. But the boys say that} , they will not be discouraged, though ' the rock should not pay more than $6 per ton, for at that low figure they could make wages. The probuabilities re, however, that no suca low grade ore will be obtained, and it is safe to say that the boys have wade a good contract. They are all clever fellows, and we hope their most sanguine expectations will be realized. _-Intbis connection we would state, that from wells and pits sunk in viprovera * ° ~yious parts of the city, it is proven) that some half dozen gold bearing ‘ledges traverse through different portions of the town, which could be leased or bonght for nominal sum, and which, at the low price of hauling and milling would pay good wages. There arebut few idle men ‘ground here, it is trae, and we think there is no necessity fo¥ those few to remain idle, There is no doubt that our city is built upon quartz ledges rich in gold, and it only requires Yankee ingenuity to extract it.— Street Gas Lights. There are bat few cities on the ‘eoast where they have city gas lamps. . Since we published an item about the cost of lighting the streets with gas in this city, several papers have taken up the matter, and in towns . where they have gas works they call upon ihe proper authorities to take steps towards lighting the streets. Among the number is the Marysville Appeal, who wantss few particulars in regard to how many lamps are in use in this city, what number of hours they are burned and about the average number of days they. are used, in order that the subject may “be brovght up before the Common Council of that city, We were always under the impression that the atreets of Marysville were lighted with gas, but itseems not. In answer'to the Appeal's questions, we will state that there are about— 23 lamps in this city, and the gas used ‘in 18 of them is paid by the city, and the other five are paid for by private parties: They are lit up at dark eee reas “the Board ‘of Edueation will take e -évery night and“ kept berning till nearly daybreak every morning, with the exception of 8 of them that are turned off at midnight. Of course they ‘are not lit up on a bright mocn-light ‘aight,as there is no necessity for that. ‘The City Watohman attends to the matter, aud the only expense attach‘ed to them iy simply for the gas used. most of the lamps and fixtures were rput in at the expense of private par‘ties in the neighborhoods where they are stationed. : The regular monthly meeting of place’ at ‘the “Washington School House this morning, for the transaotion of business. All persons hav‘ing bills against the Public Schools of this district ure requested to pre‘sent them. Tue word “rebattal’’ is in freque ‘use, and yet ia not tobe found in "Webster, Worcester, or even Bouvier’s law dictionary. ‘To: measles are going through whole families in Qukiand. “paper, ‘Sentence will be* pronounced on 1—The Grass Valley stage leaves here A fine store in the Transcripr Block, on Commercial strest, is offerred for rent. The store is in complete order for almost any kind of business. Shelving, counters, gas fixtures, etc., all in. good order. The complimentary party given to Mr. Millington, at the Skating Rink, on Thursday evening, was a very nice affair. All who attended hada glorious time. : Is it not about time for our citizens.to take steps towards getting good roadg in the monntains, to the end that we may obtain the trado of the Ridge, Furest City and Downieville? If more time and movwey was spent-in this direction, instead of politics, we should be more prosperous, ‘aiid. happier than we are now. In the case of the People vs. Fogerty, charged with assault with intent to d» great bodily harm, the jury rendered a verdict of assault. Monday next, in the County Court. In the County .Court yesterday, the indictment fonnd against, Johnson by the Grand Jury, for highway robbery, was, on motion of the Dis-. trict Attorney, dismissed. This is thecase of Johnson and Schwartz, who robbed a Chinaman on the .Colfax roada few weeks since. Johnson turned State’s evidence, and Schwartz, finding theré was no escape for him, withdrew his plea of not guilty and plead guilty. He will be sentenced on Monday next. The San Francisco letter mail failed to reach this city on Thursday night last, but it turned up all right and arrived yesterday in the overand mail. It took a trip over the mountains. daily, at the following named hours: . } 9 A.M, 2.30 Pp. u. andiv.m, The 2.30 stage connects with the overlund train, : Quite a number of immigrants are arriving here daily. Yesterday two families arrived on the overland stage. They do not come here in any very great numbers, .us most-of big city of San Francisco first, When they get out of coin they will find that place the worst hole they ever gotinto,. Ab Sight will-be tried in the County Court to-day on the charge of grand larceny. This is the celestial fellow who went down on Deer Creek and took possession of a lot of hogs which did not belong to him. The San Francisco stock market is improving. Yesterday Ophir was up to60, Best & Belcher 47%, and Mexican, 20. Two weeks ago Ophir could have been bought for 35, and Mexican 14. It is dangerous_busimess to have anything to do with stocks, as there are too many thieving rings to manipulate them. ~ > The Beecher Trial. This celebrated case still hangs fire, and the prospect is now, after: having been run for several mocths, that the Court will soon be called upon to decide whether Beecher’ did or dida't, The people have got most heartily tired of seeing the papers filled with the obscene trial, aud will soon have occasion to rejoice that the agony is over, and that columns of newspapers will be filled with more interesting reading matter. Public opinion, formed by just skirmishing over the testimony, is ees proper supply 6f water for hydraulic purposes. San Juan. appears lively and business is good. At Relief Hill, two large gravel claims are operating suéeessfally, and work is going on in one drifting claim. At North Bioomfield the works of the great gravel company of that name of mining is going on at Moore’s Flat. Eureka is dull, aud quartz inining is not very prosperous there at present. The mill machinery of the Erie mine has been sold, and is now being taken down—a_ part has been purchased and will be brought to Grass Valley by Southern, lessee of the Larrimer mill; the other portion will go into Placer county, In Washington Township they complain of dull times, but hope for an improvement by improved prospects in quartz minihg. In some localities the water supply is running short -—-While in others, better supplied by ditches and reservoirs, the washing season will last several montlis. to come. Pensylvania Republican Conven-~ : tien, Se The State Convention met at Lancaster on the 26th instant, and the following declaration of principles was adopted: First, equality of all men before the law, equal justice to all, and specialfavorsto none. .

At the time of the explosion there were known to be about twenty-two persdns in the building, nearly all ef whom were-more or less seriously injured. The firstintimation of the disaster was a deep rumbling sound similar to that accompanying an earthquake, and almost simultaneously the walls of the building burst outward in every: direction, falling in one confused mass, presenting a scene of destruction seldom before witnessed there, the wreck being more complete than fire.

That kind-of cases atways end in smoke. : The Assessor nd his Deputies! are drawing their business to a close, and all the work will be completed now ina very short time, All persons who have not been assessed had better call upon the Assessor, at the Court House, forthwith. ‘On Monday next, races will commence at’ ‘Sacramento, and continue for five days. Nevada county is always represented’ on such occasions. ~The Grass Valley Union of yesterday gives a review of all the vandidates announced for office, ih that Notes from the Upper Country. The Grass Valley Union says: ‘We met Treasurer Sanford yesterday, jast returned from the upper part of the county, where he has been for sometime engaged in his official duties. He has been through ' the townships of Bridgeport, Bloomfield, Eareka and Washington. He found a pretty general eomplaint of hard times, but on the whole, business and mining matters did not look so badly as he feared from report. At French Corral the usual amount of mining in the deep gravel claims was going on. At Sweetland, the Backeye claim, the property of the English Company, of which Geo, D. McLean is Snperinténdent, has been standing idle for some time, tions havebeen concluded for the. from Door Creek nearly to ‘the incline, which-will give them a depth ~of one hundred-and fifty feet without baing troubled by water. The ledge, “at the bottom of the incline is two feet thick and shows well in sulpburets and free gold. The iast crush ing taken from this ledge, a short : time since, averaged $26 to the ton. We are informed by Mr, Ashman, that one man can take out three tons ‘of quartza day, and that the total cost of raising, hauling and milling the rock, will not exceed $6 per ton. According to this showing, the lessees baye a sure thing on making. from $8 to $10 per day, even if the rock pays but half the yield of the last crushing. But the boys say that} , they will not be discouraged, though ' the rock should not pay more than $6 per ton, for at that low figure they could make wages. The probuabilities re, however, that no suca low grade ore will be obtained, and it is safe to say that the boys have wade a good contract. They are all clever fellows, and we hope their most sanguine expectations will be realized. _-Intbis connection we would state, that from wells and pits sunk in viprovera * ° ~yious parts of the city, it is proven) that some half dozen gold bearing ‘ledges traverse through different portions of the town, which could be leased or bonght for nominal sum, and which, at the low price of hauling and milling would pay good wages. There arebut few idle men ‘ground here, it is trae, and we think there is no necessity fo¥ those few to remain idle, There is no doubt that our city is built upon quartz ledges rich in gold, and it only requires Yankee ingenuity to extract it.— Street Gas Lights. There are bat few cities on the ‘eoast where they have city gas lamps. . Since we published an item about the cost of lighting the streets with gas in this city, several papers have taken up the matter, and in towns . where they have gas works they call upon ihe proper authorities to take steps towards lighting the streets. Among the number is the Marysville Appeal, who wantss few particulars in regard to how many lamps are in use in this city, what number of hours they are burned and about the average number of days they. are used, in order that the subject may “be brovght up before the Common Council of that city, We were always under the impression that the atreets of Marysville were lighted with gas, but itseems not. In answer'to the Appeal's questions, we will state that there are about— 23 lamps in this city, and the gas used ‘in 18 of them is paid by the city, and the other five are paid for by private parties: They are lit up at dark eee reas “the Board ‘of Edueation will take e -évery night and“ kept berning till nearly daybreak every morning, with the exception of 8 of them that are turned off at midnight. Of course they ‘are not lit up on a bright mocn-light ‘aight,as there is no necessity for that. ‘The City Watohman attends to the matter, aud the only expense attach‘ed to them iy simply for the gas used. most of the lamps and fixtures were rput in at the expense of private par‘ties in the neighborhoods where they are stationed. : The regular monthly meeting of place’ at ‘the “Washington School House this morning, for the transaotion of business. All persons hav‘ing bills against the Public Schools of this district ure requested to pre‘sent them. Tue word “rebattal’’ is in freque ‘use, and yet ia not tobe found in "Webster, Worcester, or even Bouvier’s law dictionary. ‘To: measles are going through whole families in Qukiand. “paper, ‘Sentence will be* pronounced on 1—The Grass Valley stage leaves here A fine store in the Transcripr Block, on Commercial strest, is offerred for rent. The store is in complete order for almost any kind of business. Shelving, counters, gas fixtures, etc., all in. good order. The complimentary party given to Mr. Millington, at the Skating Rink, on Thursday evening, was a very nice affair. All who attended hada glorious time. : Is it not about time for our citizens.to take steps towards getting good roadg in the monntains, to the end that we may obtain the trado of the Ridge, Furest City and Downieville? If more time and movwey was spent-in this direction, instead of politics, we should be more prosperous, ‘aiid. happier than we are now. In the case of the People vs. Fogerty, charged with assault with intent to d» great bodily harm, the jury rendered a verdict of assault. Monday next, in the County Court. In the County .Court yesterday, the indictment fonnd against, Johnson by the Grand Jury, for highway robbery, was, on motion of the Dis-. trict Attorney, dismissed. This is thecase of Johnson and Schwartz, who robbed a Chinaman on the .Colfax roada few weeks since. Johnson turned State’s evidence, and Schwartz, finding theré was no escape for him, withdrew his plea of not guilty and plead guilty. He will be sentenced on Monday next. The San Francisco letter mail failed to reach this city on Thursday night last, but it turned up all right and arrived yesterday in the overand mail. It took a trip over the mountains. daily, at the following named hours: . } 9 A.M, 2.30 Pp. u. andiv.m, The 2.30 stage connects with the overlund train, : Quite a number of immigrants are arriving here daily. Yesterday two families arrived on the overland stage. They do not come here in any very great numbers, .us most-of big city of San Francisco first, When they get out of coin they will find that place the worst hole they ever gotinto,. Ab Sight will-be tried in the County Court to-day on the charge of grand larceny. This is the celestial fellow who went down on Deer Creek and took possession of a lot of hogs which did not belong to him. The San Francisco stock market is improving. Yesterday Ophir was up to60, Best & Belcher 47%, and Mexican, 20. Two weeks ago Ophir could have been bought for 35, and Mexican 14. It is dangerous_busimess to have anything to do with stocks, as there are too many thieving rings to manipulate them. ~ > The Beecher Trial. This celebrated case still hangs fire, and the prospect is now, after: having been run for several mocths, that the Court will soon be called upon to decide whether Beecher’ did or dida't, The people have got most heartily tired of seeing the papers filled with the obscene trial, aud will soon have occasion to rejoice that the agony is over, and that columns of newspapers will be filled with more interesting reading matter. Public opinion, formed by just skirmishing over the testimony, is ees proper supply 6f water for hydraulic purposes. San Juan. appears lively and business is good. At Relief Hill, two large gravel claims are operating suéeessfally, and work is going on in one drifting claim. At North Bioomfield the works of the great gravel company of that name of mining is going on at Moore’s Flat. Eureka is dull, aud quartz inining is not very prosperous there at present. The mill machinery of the Erie mine has been sold, and is now being taken down—a_ part has been purchased and will be brought to Grass Valley by Southern, lessee of the Larrimer mill; the other portion will go into Placer county, In Washington Township they complain of dull times, but hope for an improvement by improved prospects in quartz minihg. In some localities the water supply is running short -—-While in others, better supplied by ditches and reservoirs, the washing season will last several montlis. to come. Pensylvania Republican Conven-~ : tien, Se The State Convention met at Lancaster on the 26th instant, and the following declaration of principles was adopted: First, equality of all men before the law, equal justice to all, and specialfavorsto none. .

At the time of the explosion there were known to be about twenty-two persdns in the building, nearly all ef whom were-more or less seriously injured. The firstintimation of the disaster was a deep rumbling sound similar to that accompanying an earthquake, and almost simultaneously the walls of the building burst outward in every: direction, falling in one confused mass, presenting a scene of destruction seldom before witnessed there, the wreck being more complete than fire.
