Sunday November 17, 1878. AAA ALA TARSE MOUNTAIN BOYS. . amples Intended to Worka Mighty Revolution in the Moral Condition of the Youth. — a * We don’t know that we ever heard cocity of boys than happened out on Piety Hill only last week, vand we hope that it will prove a warping to not be lost. , -A young lady of +iiat Vicinity was receiving an afterioon call from her intended—as he remarked casually, basause he had to go on the ‘‘night shift” of. one of the leading mines, just beyond that neighborhood. The family boy was.in the room quietly contemplating a broken suspender and a large hole in the pants leg of ‘this off knee, the sister having failed in her usual thoughtfulness of sending him out of the room. “The caller levels,” ‘‘winzes,” ‘‘sumps,” ‘lateral and main drifts,” and all the us“yal lingo of mining experts who feel the responsibility of their calling; " while the young lady was equally prolix in commenting on her many household duties and the severe labor they entailed. He was kindly remarking phat she must. stop such hard work, or else she would be go‘fore unnoticed young listener sutldenly aprang to the front by remarking: (eae is “Now, Sis, what kind of a minin’ expert do you take Bob to be if he can’tsee through. that channel and tell ef there’s a pay streak in it or not? Yousee, Bob, ever since you bonded Sis, she’s been a readin’ up of cook books, and only yesterday I heard Maw say that she tried to make some soup with some dumplins in, and turned into the soup half a can of yéast powder to raise the dumplins with. And last week she vead somewhere as potatoes would mak2 bread light. .So on the @ly—said she was goin’ to surprise Maw—she made the loaves _and put a cold potater in eachone. 0, it was fun! That’s the kind of quartz crusher she is, Bob, Sho’s a forty stamp mill with a full run of "malgamators!” : aa t this solemn juncture the car whistle sounded, and the boy with a bound and a yell wasout of the room; but suddenly sticking his head in at the door cheerily cried out: ‘‘Sis, don’t you feel “bad, for you ate as much a cooker a3 Bob is a minin’ expert. I’ve seen him down town lots of ‘times playing bean poker and : drinkin’, bonanzer croppins, * when he'd tell you he was bossin’ the men ‘over at some mill. 0, I've prospect_ed’em, and they don’t pan out -indicashuns worth.a cent. There's no bonanza stherd, Sist’ and with another whoop-he avas off to. see the incoming train. “For the benefit of those who are not well up in the Mountain Boy “elassics, we will state that “bonanza ' croppings” simply smeans “soda straight.” In fact, the entire vg. eabulary of steady imbidérs in the mountains hereabouts has been entirely remodellett. ome no longer ni eye-openers, might-caps, ete. ; but the wants of customers are ‘all explained to the.well dressed caterer by “indications,” ‘‘croppings,” “‘levels,” etc. For inétanee, if a thirsty ‘soul wants a . pes morning .cocktail, he calls for a bonanza firyt level, and so on gradually increasing as the day advances. A ‘‘tenth level” means a half glass, well shook down, of © unalloyed whisky — straight. When a man finally succumbs ‘‘in the long descent,” thenheis “startin a crosscut” or “running a diamon drill for ® new-prospect.” ed * METHODIST CHURCH. ot ~ ‘In consequence of the death of a very ‘hear friend, the Rev.

Eprron Transoriet:—For several, continuous days, & week or So ago, I noticed articles in-your paper urging all (that is -everybody) to spend their-money.at home. On many 0c; casions (especially whem drummers from San Francisco and Sacramento houses cote around.end sell ' goods oNLY (?) AT WHOLESAL¥ to merchants, but take orders from aNysopy witl the distinct whidérstandity that the transaction is STPLGPLY PRIVATE, considering that they sell the goods’ as -dieap as the closest bmyer, at wholesale, AND THEY Do~I among the number can prove it,) I have’ given orders for goods.and perhaps F ought, and in fact I do, take the articles published in the TRanscrrer, a portion of them to myself.~ ‘Well, Iam willing to do it;‘and promise to RE¥oRM in-the future, in that particuTar line, 1¥;-seme of the merchants I know of will also promise to do the same. Since the-publication of your articles’ on « ‘‘nUY EVERYTHING AT, HoME,” I shave taken some little pains to investigate. You-know, -as wel] as. I do, that investigation near-» ly every time, shows what? Nothing more wor less.than that there isa; skeleton in the closet of every man’s house. If youdeny the proposition ‘I will prove it. As I said before, I started in,to find/ out if I was the only culprit that bought goods outside of my own town, and tomy great astonishment I found that I am only. one of a large number, including the merchants themselves. I feel relieved, atid now believesincerely that. my conscience has beer more sinned against‘that its sins are really accountable for. The frvestigations I have made are really a ‘bonanza,” and on the strength of it, I hazard nothing in saying, without. fear of contradiction, that there are but a mighty few merchants ‘in the city of Nevada who do not by goods,outside of their awn line of. trade either in San Francisco or Sacramento, simply because, a few dollars are saved. But ‘I am diverting from . what I started out to say and will now come to the point. It is this: The Nevapa Dag LY TRANSCRIPT is now, a3 it always has, labored hard for the best interests of Nevada county and city, and for the latter’s merchants.in particular; and yet.upon my investigation I can point my finger to many houses in the city who have theircards, bill heads and letter, heads printed in San FranciscoorSacramento. T1H1’s ‘THE WAY YOU GBT .YouR Pay for the hard raps,you have given to those who send abroad for their dry goods, groceries, hardware, bootsand shoes, clothing, &c., &c.,“&c., simply because THEY can save a few dollars by so doing. I agree with you, Mr. Ed: itor, when you say, emphatically, as you have done, that it is the bounden dity of every ‘man, woman ‘and child to spend their moncy in their own town and thus ‘enable all of the and keep larger stocks of goods, All! merchants set the example and buy, ail outside of their line in their own town, and I will guarantee that there will be no cause for complaint in the future. . ‘tye uel, AN, ROUGH AND READY ITEMS.Rough and Ready, Nov, 1). -Eprrork Trinscripr.—Fo let the pedple know that oir town is alive, E write to you hoping to find space in your oxcellent paper.

Eloquence that hasibeen Honors TO WENERAL Crook. The report that Genbfal Crook, the famed Indian fightet, with a number of other régulér army officers had arrived in this city Priday. morning, breasts of many an old-timer who perhaps at some time or another had served under tho old flag in, the,Gunny South -dF-on the wide-étre+ching plains of the west; but there was astic over the coming of these notables, a large: portion”pf whom they’ recognize as gentlemen who have the mining interests of Nevada county at heart;“and are helping to develop them by extensive investments. Therefore, as-might have been expected, some pains were taken by the citizens ‘to make the brief stay of tlie party here as pleasant as possible. In the forenoon they had visited the Murchié mine as observed yesterday, and after. returning to the ning the recipients of many .calls ‘from: varions laditg-andl gentlemen. About an‘hour before: midnight the Nevada.brass band, which had been engaged for the occasion, repaired to the. Union Hotel and serenaded Gen. . Crook. “Shortly after .-the music commenced, he together with a number of other gentlemen appeared and was introduced by Geo. 8. Hupp, Esq., who made a few fitting and eloquent remarks. He said that it was to the.efforts.of suchmen as the one to whom these honors were paid to-night ‘(for by this time a large number of ladies ‘and gentlemen had assembled.from various parts of the city) that Nevada county owned her prestige as constituting one’ of the, leading sections of the State. Mr. Hupp said mary excellent and true things in a few words, but want of space forbids their _ publication. ' ‘The battle-scarred Indian fighter then stepped to the front. He said that speech making was not his forte. The greater part of his -life had been spent on the ‘Pacific Coast, and this section especially had great, attractions for him. Here he found many warm friends, and was always ‘gratified beyond measure to meet them, and grasp ‘their hands. Yet he had come here on ‘business, ‘little anticipating such a reception as this. For it, he thanked the kind people of Nevada, This is a great -wealth center already, continued the General, and yet its mineral -resources have but just commenced to be developed. In time the attention of more and more capitalists will be turned this way, anf the importance of your county will have assumed proportions in comparison to which those of the present areindeed slight. Both of the foregoing speakers were interrupted by frequent applause, and three rousing cheers were given for the General. * A call was then made for General. Kautz. That gentleman excused himself with a few brief words, and the spectators dispersed to their homes, —~>e BREAKERS AHEAD. The Republican says that a war between the American -and Chinege elements of Truckee is almost inevitable, and give’ thé following reasons for such belief: The Safety Committee have done all in their power to britig matters toa peaceable conclusion, The Chinese, however, are, spoiling for a fight. They: have a large supply of Henry rifles, :innummeérable revolvers, and_knives by the hundreds. ‘They are building steadily, andibacked by their white ,adviser, threaten war,if the whites _ interfere. Should there’be trouble let the fullowing facts be remembered. The committee have.offered' to buy every lot awned by the Chinese’ at a liberal valuation. “The citizens purchased a desirable prepay for the Chinamen across the river, and gave the Chinese one {week .ih which to remove thither. In \viewof these facts, it looks as if she .Chinese were bulldozing the whites. Truckee people are not ysuallywery timid, or for sale.
