The Daily Transcript, _ NEVADA CITY, CAIAFORNIA, — SUNDAY, MAW 30, 1869, a the = parson fume tor lige shames : a OT fitest. “The for sucnenusscgnags that in the present state of excitement and of idleness in G Valley, thé Fourth of July can not, be properly ‘celebrated. The committee appointed by thétitizens a few'evenings since, are of the opinion that the Fourth of July should be celebrated after the old style. ‘cue anda ball should follow, procses— . sions should march, pretty girls should _—, judicial and local officers will make a lively -contest. In thé State the forces . are so nearly divided that the chances are doubtful, though the Union} interest i candidates will have the best show.— The party which was divided in the —last Gubernatorial contest—was—united “in the Presidential election and the consequence was a victory in the State. The floating vote, which usually goes with the victorious party, will probably throw its strength with the Union party this Fall, provided good candidates are chosen. ‘In the State contest neith~ wer party can be assured of victory, and a mistake in policy or any trickery in . party might be fatal to either. The . action of the San Francisco Democratic Central Committee in usurping power belonging to the masses, by attempting to elect-their successors and delegations to/the State Convention, -was a grave blander, and the voting Democrats are denouneing them bitterly. Should the programme designed by political leaders of that party be carried out, and Crockett and Wallace both be nominated for the same locality,another fatal blunder will have been committed. The Union State Convention is so far off that the candidates have not yet been publicly brought forward. But one thing must be done: The very best men must be placed in nomination for the Supreme Bench—able lawyers, and men of character, in whom the people of the State have full confidence. With such, tho party will be able to carry the State. Era The same rule should be observed in the selection of local candidates, and upon the local tisket will depend to some extent the fate of the State ticket. ‘Pu secure this end should be the object of every man of the party. If the people desire, they can make a ticket which will suit them. Heretofore the masses of the party have taken too little interest in the primary contests. Here is where the most. good or evil can be done, and here is, unfortunately, where duty is, most neglected. Let the Union masses of Nevada county determine that their-voice shall be heard and their influence felt in the primary elections as Well as in the contest, and the result will be a glorious victory under the old banner. CRESCENT Minina Company,—The: ledge now owned and being worked by this company, says the Grass Valley National, is situated on Kate Hayes’ _ Mii, near Marshall’s orchard. It was first located in 1861, worked by a number of different parties, but is now now owned by Henry Maginn, J. H. Goodman,;J. W. Foard, Geo. B. Reeve, ‘and ©. C. Maslin. The company claim _*100 feet. Active working operations “were commenced March Ist, by running an incline shaft down. 140 feet. The . ledge is now 18'inches thick, and shows : : 1 Well in free gold,sulphurets and galena. The company have been using a whim fP thus far, but it is their intention to put ‘ina six inch pump immediately, and an engine of sufficient. pewer to prospect-to-a-depth 6f400 feet. Rock taken trom the bottom of the shaft appeared very rich, plenty of gold being plainly visible all through the rock, ‘he mine will no doubt prove a profitable one, not only to its owners but to Grass Valley. Se eninn PREACHING SUNDAY.— Divine Ser. vices will be held in the Methodist Chureh, Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, and in the evening at 7} o’eloek — Sabbath School at 1} o’elock, yr. ».— Rey. C.

Sabbath School at the e cloee of the morning servnce. land per mile, and “as the distance be. tide around in wagons and all that-sort of things; but just now tlre committee think Grass Valley can not or will not ful celebration. Every man, therefore, the committee think, should celebrate the Fourth in lis own way, on his own personal curve. Jf any persons disagree with the committee, let them meet at the Exchange on Saturday evening next.—G. V. Union. -We believe it has been tacitly under-J stuod by our citizens that no celebration would be held here, but that to Grass Valley belonged the right, in consideration of the alternating rule which has heretofore been adopted. This is undoubtedly the reason, to our mind, why } the approach of the National Birthday has not called from the loyal and pat~ ments for its observance. If Grass Valley does not intend to celebrate, and from the position of the Union, whose editor is‘ one of the committee, such appears to be the intention, then let Nevada make immediate and effective preparation for the celebration of the Fourth at home. We learn that. the committee would probably decide not to celebrate at Grass Valley, andéuéh being the case our citizens should ‘take. prompt action in the matter. Who will start the ball? Empire MingE.—Everything is going on quietly at the Empire mine, though’ only about eighteen hands are at work, Several applied for work there, but insisted that giant powder should not be used. Capt. Lee assured these applicants that they would not have to use the objectionable compound. The miners there have only to drill holes and do not touch nor see the “murderous giant.” it, a foreraan, who charges and fires the holes,.and who goes in first after the shot is firecl, to see how the ‘powder does its work. The men‘ who drill, thus, do not see, handle or smell the ‘powder. The applicants to work, notwithstanding~this excellent sanitary regulation, refused. to go into the mine,_ plement of miners, but so far has not succeeded, although he hag ‘adopted a plan whereby not one of the workmen, except the foremen in, the stopes;“has Anything to de ‘with the powder,So says the Union. GREEN Horn Lepoe.—This ledge, located about five miles from Grass Val. ley on Green Horn Creek, says the National, was leased by A. J. Cook & Co., on April last for five-years. The original locators took out $20,000 in 1864, but the ledge subsequently pinched out apparent! y, and has remained unworked since that time until it was leased to Cook & Co, An incline has been run in On the ledjre 60 feet from the surface. They are now drifting and will take out a crushing in a few days. The ledge is from four to five feet thick, well defined blue rock, and shows well in gold and sulphurets. One blast, afew days since, threw out $200 in specimen rock. In the opinion of disinterested miners, the rock now being taken out will pay from $30 to $40 per ton. We congrate ulate the lucky lessees on having a good thing. They are indnstrious, enterprising men, and merit success, ENGINEER Williams, appointed by the United States government for the purpose, estimates the cost of the Over. land Railroad: from Omaha to Salt Lake, at an average of $34,977 32 per miles. The Company receiy ment bonds to the amo per mile.and gave their own bonds by .way of mortgage at $24,454, making their own esttimete “of value per’ mile? including both sums, $51,034, . The’ Compary also receives 6,400 acres of 4 z tween the above two places is 1,110 miles, the whole uumber of acres will ‘be 7,104,000.

Coe. mine, Lucky, Cambridge: O'Connor, (several others on Union Hill)’ Ione, South Star, Cincinnati Hill, Heuston Hill, Garden City and others. The list of good: mines, known to contain which are idle, is appalling. What shall we do to work all our mines ? CALIFORNIA FRorrs.—Onur first faisers will probably soon commence shipping fruit East. The following is from the Cheyenne Leader, May 13th: “Now we may look for California grapes, peaches, apricots, and nectarines in July, instead of waiting two months later for Eastern fruits. These fruits are not only two months earlierthan. those'of the Eastern States, but, so far as the. grapes, nectarines, and apricots are concerned, they are 200, per cert. better, and ‘considerable cheaper. Grapes, for instance, are the most expensive fruits in the East, while they are the cheapest. products in Califor-. nia. Fresh fi also, that can not. be had in the-East at. any price, can, be obtained from, California; although they.are a very périshable commodity. There could be-nio better: paying business in this city, during the coming Summer, than an ageticy of depot for the sale: of California. fruits.” RgreERING to the late alleged case of cruelty on the part-of a son ‘toward his father in Sierra County, the. Downieville Messenger of May 22nd. days: The circumstances of the stabbiig afly different from those reported. The+ man Davis, who did the cutting, was] alton and discharged. ~“‘The* old _anad was not hurt more thau half as muchas he thought, the “boy” (40) did not cuss’ thore than one-tenth as hard as the law’ allows, and, judging from the light now’ before-us, the man who told ‘us did not’ do his “level best” by any manner’ of. means. Weare in some doubt about) there having been any fight. THE Yosemite Turnpike Company have completed their road to Harding’s Mill. ‘By this road it is only 108 miles, to Yosemite Valley, passing through‘ the'Fuolumne grove of mammoth trees. The total fare by stage and saddle train. will not exceed $20 from—Stockton to the Valley. . Persons may leave and go to Chinese Camp on Tuesdays, Thurs~ days and Saturdays: thence by another line of stages to Big Vak Flat and Garrote, to Harding’s Mill; thence by saddle train to the Valley. This arrangement commenced on Wednesday, May 26. THE large passenger trains now be=' road having proved tooheavy for the company’s passenger engines to. take over the mountains, 10-wheeled freight engines were substitutéd, but they did not ‘make the time much bettef than the others. “To remedy the matter, it has been urranged that from. Rocklin to the Truckee Valley, and vice versa, there shall be two engines to each train. SPEAKING of the increased facilities for river trayel between San Francisco and Sacramento, the Bulletin says: The 2 feet of water. They will be provided with large side wheels ahd powerful en125 miles, in fourand a half hours, or about the.same time now requited~ on the Vallejo route, © ee. hands of some eight or ten men, ing rum over the Central Pacific Rail-{ new boats will be 260 feet long, drawing . settled by the Assemblies of the Old and New School Presbyterians.

PosTaL.—On and after June 1st, the mail by the Overland route will be distributed on the trains, and thereby save delay at stations. D.B. Ball, United States Postal Agent, in charge of the Overland, Mail Service, has gone out upon the railroad to put this arrangement in operation. auee -THE Quincy Whig is responsible for the following: An Irish girl in the employ of one of our first families was sent by the lady of the house one day last week to a dry goods store, with instructions to bring home a bed-comforter.
