Downieville Messenger: A rich ‘strike in quartz has recently been made near Forest City, on the South extension of the Kate Hardy. The lucky miners are Wm. Jillson and ‘others, Rich rock’ was discovvered in their tunnel several weeks ‘ego, but the find was not made pub: Alic wntil a few days since. JWe saw afspecimen about the size of one’s hand which contained several ounces of gold. The owners have run along the ledge for some distance and find’ the rich streak of rock to be about fifteen inches wide. They have not yet determined its-length along the lode, but the deposit is being equally rich so far as they have run. The old Kate Hardy location was jumpéd' soon after the find was made public, Jillson & Co. say they have ‘ many tons of rich rock in sight. Ringing the Changes. Speaking of the robberies, murdors, etc., that have recently occur od in and around Nevada City, the et fighes Republican sings ia this strain: Hereafter it will not be in order for the citizens over there when speaking of our town to turn up the whites of their eyes and murmur in ~ awe struck tones, “Oh! what ickGC Mau ee You are right, Mr. Republican. We are now remarking sympathetically: “What a moss-covered, pokiab.old burg Truckee iagetting to New Constitution quartz claim on Deer creek opposite Jos. Worrell’s raneh, The ledge is about one foot thick, and in many places carries from eight to ten inches of very rich ochre. The lass crushing paid $16 per ton, and there are the very best reasons for believing that the next one will yield more than double that sum, The ledge pitches south. Parallel. with it rifris the Bulldoser ledge, owned by the same parties, which pitches to the north. These two ledges come together at the surface, spreading out as they descend like a common house-roof._The Bulldoser . was sunk on about twenty feet, and ‘was found to be as rich as the former. As itextends out under the’ creek, however, the water “comes in so fast that machinery must be put up before operations are continued. It ig but a few, months since Messrs. Rogers and Ragan located and commenced prospecting these ledges. At fitst their success was not. of the mst encouraging charactér, but they were fortunate enough = to possess good staying qualities. They have done all their own work, and are now beginning to get the ‘reward of their labor. They now estimate the valueof the property at over $10,000, but saytheir interests gre not for sale at even that. ON Meien Fruits are Sweetest. Hf there is onekind of animal more than another _ that troubles fruit-growers hereabouts, it’s a twolegged kind familiarly called boys. Youngsters who have had the advantaye of good home training, are shining lights at Sunday schagl, and wouldn’t commit a theft under ordinary circumstances for -all the world, will band together in the still, dark hours of night’ and. make merciless raids on the vineyards and orchards of unsuspecting individuals. They not only’ carry away pockets and hats full of fruit, but break limbs and branches in their haste to gather the spoils before being detected. As a warning to boys around Nevada City-who-indulge—in_these_ pranks, we want to tella little story: More than thirty years ago a small boy living in Rhode Island went toa neighbor's orchard with some other boys one night and stole a'l the fruit they could eat. Five years afterward he came near dying of the small-pox., Ten years ago his grandfather died and left him_ $100,000. He went into the newspaper business in San Francisco, and lost all his fortune.

Ragan commeaced. working a claim on the north side of Deer Creek, just east of town and opposite S, B. Davenport's mine and blacksmith shop. They have prospected considerably with tunnel and drifts, and find some good rock. The last month's crushing paid $10.50 per ton, and they are now ‘getting out another lot that will probably go higher. This same ledge was worked on fifteen or so years ago, but could not be made to pay on account of the inefficient modes of reducing ore that were then in vogue. Now it can evidently be worked to good profit. . 2s TheDay of Atanement< On next Friday occurs. Yom Kippur, or the Day ‘of Atonement, which is universally observed by the Hebrews. On the evening of this day confessions of sins are made, and the Divine merzy is implored by the heads of households.

Tus banker's “ song— “We knead Hee every hour,” e Abéut Brin. Hew Doctors Disagree Major Downie, Superthtendent of. the Centennial gravel nfine in Washington township, this county, and one of the oldest and best-known gold hunters on the coast, says that all those stories about Old Brin being a myth are delusions intended to sell the hunters who are scouring the wiods ‘around Webber Lake. The Major told the TrRansCripr reporter yesterday that when he used to live where Downieville, Sierra county, now is, in ,1850, Brin frequently came down” the hillside to the—claim-—His tracks were often seen in the snow on the Divide between the Nerth and Middle Yuba. Several miners working in the mountains around there have often seen him. The Major is’ firm sin the opinion that if Brin got after Sam. Davis or Dan de Quille those incredulous chaps would think something besides a myth was chasing them. County Supervisor Wm.H. Smith mined on the north fork of the North Yuba river, 12-miles above Downie-’ ville, in 1855-6, and says that during his stay in that part of the country he never heard anything about Brin. He thinks the big bear is a fraud of the deepest dye. The only animals that used to trouble him and _ his companions were the California lions that.would come to the very dooxs of their cabins, <> al The Chinese as Miners. The miners of Nevada county will recognize in the following, -by Prentice Mulford, a rather faithful picture of things as they exist here to-day: “The Chinaman has dug countless millions of gold dust from California’s soil. Sent most of it to China. Was never allowed to hold: a valuaable discovery. Couldonly buy halfworked out placers. White miner. would sell hima bit of siver bed when worth next nothing. Chinaman paid good prices. In 1870 placers yielding $l per day were termed . ‘China diggings.’ Was a steady systematic miner. Made clean work. Didn’t matter whether he made fifty cents per day or $5. Kept right on. Left no gold gleanings behind him. days always jumping about from place to place. ‘Would leave $5. per day diggings in hand for $50 in imayinary bush. Seldom finds the bush. Chingman always ‘leaves well enough alone.’ ” <> The Book Auction. The book auction, being held nightly at Guild’s auction rooms afford a splendid opportunity for lovers of all kigds of literature to satisfy their tastes. The werke. for sale. include a large assortment bound in various styles, including cloth, leather, t reecalf and morocco. These’ are all standard works, embracing l.istorical, poetical, juvenile, scies:tific and biographical. All the productions of the best English and. American authors are kept in stock. ‘The prices at which they are s.ld are lower than ever before prevailed on this coast, as the goods are: purchased direct from first hands by Mr. Bartlett, the proprietor, : F. @ne New Hoase a Day. In saying. that this community is growing rapidly, t’e facts and figures can readily be obtained to back the assertion, One lumber firm alone, Messre. M. L, & D. Marsh, have during the past two weeks an average of one new house per day, all of which are being constructed in Nevada City and its suburbs. Still our population increases: more rapidly theo do the facilities for accommodating the new comers, No Delinqueat Tax Sale. Marshal Baldridge ‘has collected the city taxes up so closely this year that no delinquent sale took place yesterday. The only amount yet due is $1.20, and that is partia.ly owing to a misunderstanding as to where it shall be collected. Such a showing is very creditable to Mr. Baldridge, — f Died im San Francisco, * Mrs, Anna Wood of Columbia Hill who went to San Francisco recently for medical treatment, died there 2. county in 1852, and was aged 64 years at the time of her death. White ininer in early gold digging last week. She came to Nevada; ' The Pliocene Mine Ghost. The Messenger corroborates the reports that are current regarding a ghost’s appearance at the Pliocene shaft, above Moore’s Flat. Although work was suspended on the shaft some moths ago, the buildings and heavy machinery still stand there. The locality is an extremely lonely one. Several wood-choppers have been sleeping in the otherwise desertedt engine house. They say that of nights the bell formerly used to signal the cage-man is often tapped vigorously, and various strange and unaccountable sounds proceed from underground. Also, sounds similar to those made by blacksmiths at work are heard. The choppers are satisfied that none of these disturbancesproceeded from their own numbers. Many persons in’ that part of the country think that Bill McDougal, who met with a violent death in the shaft several weeks before work. was stopped, has come back in spirit to the familiar haunts of other. days. The Messenger says: ‘‘We don’t subscribe to this theory, knowing that Mc.'‘had too much good sense to thus fool away his time. He va: in life eminently practical, and if he ever visits the scene of his taking off, he will manifest his presence in a ‘more practical way than by ringing bells.” Grant Arrives. The steamer Tokio with General Grant aboard was sighted at a point 30 miles off San Francisco yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. At 5 o’clock eur jubilant citizens carried out the programme of gun firing, ringing of bells and blowing of steam Tradschier. Grant was to arrive at the wharf at 6:20. ee a) The Robertsen Process.

Kitts, attorney, of Grass Valley, has in progress a very important compilation, being a ‘convenient and full index of deeds contained in the. county records, To give some idea of the labor involved in this work we can state that there are about 75,000 names to be copied from the records. .The design of the work is to arrange all these in regular alphabetical order, and a so to vowelize them, so that the recor? will be made as convenient and ready a reference asis possible. The record gives the name of each grantor ahd grantee; with the volume .and folios where the deeds may be found. When we state the records of deeds embrace about 54 volumes, each having a seperate index, it will be underst that a search for particular names, must of necessity, be'a work of considerable labor at times, particularly when the date of a record isa matter of uncertainty. With Kitt’sindex, however, the knowledge can be obtained in a moment, He has-been ed_on. this work at intervals for the past twelve months, and for some time back has had _several assistants to help him, and has just completed the . first volume, which-contains about 12,000 names. The whole index will make six volumes of about 12,000 names each, and as the labor is now systematized it is expected that each ailditional volume can be completed in about every forty noe The index is written upon fine, heav r and in a full, legible hand, aE use. It wili prove au invaluable compilation to those having occasion to search the records,as from j names can be found in one min that now require an hour, Th dex being brought up to the time a supplement can be future records, and thus mity and com kept up.—Union. n took his horse to to have bim jolti : “Do you call this an amble? earif you want Silks Worth °$4 “Taos pet oe kh ee -——_—_— oe eee Prorx call you déér when they ! ‘ANT, + would fawn upon yon, ~ : Fi CGE \ whistles, as outlined in yesterday's . : it good for regular and permanent. 0 which the teacher eooly replied: Col.

I will never ask God to help my children unless Iam doing my level best. in the same line.

' (Truckee Republican.} ; From Judge-John Keiser and F. ‘Rabel who came in from the chase after-Ol.t_Brin on-Thursday evening, we learn the following particulars regarding, the bunt : About 40 hunters are engaged in it, but up ta that time they had not ‘‘flushed” the mighty foe. «There seems. to be no wnity.of action among the hunters. Every man for himselé and the devil take the hindmost,. appears to be the Some of them are keen and active to find Oki Brin, amd spend most of their time in active search of his whereabouts, Others are camped around : the shores of the beautiful Webber Lake, and spend most of their time fishing for trout, and occasionally wander a little way into adjacemt. forests in pursuit of such miglity game as grouse and quail.— These phlegmatie hunters and _fishermen may not reap much glory, but they are having heaps of fun. All the hunters are having a grand time. ~Deer, grouse and quail are numerous in the vicinity of the Lake, and afford excellent shooting. Trout bite readily, and a large number are caught daily. No bear of any kind had been seen up to the tinte our informants left. Although Old Brin may escape unscathed, and his existence be as questionable as ever, those who are participating in the bunt ‘will remember the present dne as avery enjoyable hunting excursion in a wild, romantic country. Ax Irtsu clergyman had, asa &cripture lesson, narrated to ac ass of boys at a “National” school in the West the history of the miracle of the loaves andfishes.

Davis or Dan de Quille those incredulous chaps would think something besides a myth was chasing them. County Supervisor Wm.H. Smith mined on the north fork of the North Yuba river, 12-miles above Downie-’ ville, in 1855-6, and says that during his stay in that part of the country he never heard anything about Brin. He thinks the big bear is a fraud of the deepest dye. The only animals that used to trouble him and _ his companions were the California lions that.would come to the very dooxs of their cabins, <> al The Chinese as Miners. The miners of Nevada county will recognize in the following, -by Prentice Mulford, a rather faithful picture of things as they exist here to-day: “The Chinaman has dug countless millions of gold dust from California’s soil. Sent most of it to China. Was never allowed to hold: a valuaable discovery. Couldonly buy halfworked out placers. White miner. would sell hima bit of siver bed when worth next nothing. Chinaman paid good prices. In 1870 placers yielding $l per day were termed . ‘China diggings.’ Was a steady systematic miner. Made clean work. Didn’t matter whether he made fifty cents per day or $5.

Chingman always ‘leaves well enough alone.’ ” <> The Book Auction.

Marshal Baldridge ‘has collected the city taxes up so closely this year that no delinquent sale took place yesterday. The only amount yet due is $1.20, and that is partia.ly owing to a misunderstanding as to where it shall be collected.

White ininer in early gold digging last week. She came to Nevada; ' The Pliocene Mine Ghost. The Messenger corroborates the reports that are current regarding a ghost’s appearance at the Pliocene shaft, above Moore’s Flat. Although work was suspended on the shaft some moths ago, the buildings and heavy machinery still stand there. The locality is an extremely lonely one. Several wood-choppers have been sleeping in the otherwise desertedt engine house. They say that of nights the bell formerly used to signal the cage-man is often tapped vigorously, and various strange and unaccountable sounds proceed from underground. Also, sounds similar to those made by blacksmiths at work are heard. The choppers are satisfied that none of these disturbancesproceeded from their own numbers. Many persons in’ that part of the country think that Bill McDougal, who met with a violent death in the shaft several weeks before work. was stopped, has come back in spirit to the familiar haunts of other. days. The Messenger says: ‘‘We don’t subscribe to this theory, knowing that Mc.'‘had too much good sense to thus fool away his time. He va: in life eminently practical, and if he ever visits the scene of his taking off, he will manifest his presence in a ‘more practical way than by ringing bells.” Grant Arrives. The steamer Tokio with General Grant aboard was sighted at a point 30 miles off San Francisco yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock.

Kitts, attorney, of Grass Valley, has in progress a very important compilation, being a ‘convenient and full index of deeds contained in the. county records, To give some idea of the labor involved in this work we can state that there are about 75,000 names to be copied from the records. .The design of the work is to arrange all these in regular alphabetical order, and a so to vowelize them, so that the recor? will be made as convenient and ready a reference asis possible. The record gives the name of each grantor ahd grantee; with the volume .and folios where the deeds may be found. When we state the records of deeds embrace about 54 volumes, each having a seperate index, it will be underst that a search for particular names, must of necessity, be'a work of considerable labor at times, particularly when the date of a record isa matter of uncertainty. With Kitt’sindex, however, the knowledge can be obtained in a moment, He has-been ed_on. this work at intervals for the past twelve months, and for some time back has had _several assistants to help him, and has just completed the . first volume, which-contains about 12,000 names. The whole index will make six volumes of about 12,000 names each, and as the labor is now systematized it is expected that each ailditional volume can be completed in about every forty noe The index is written upon fine, heav r and in a full, legible hand, aE use.

' (Truckee Republican.} ; From Judge-John Keiser and F. ‘Rabel who came in from the chase after-Ol.t_Brin on-Thursday evening, we learn the following particulars regarding, the bunt : About 40 hunters are engaged in it, but up ta that time they had not ‘‘flushed” the mighty foe. «There seems. to be no wnity.of action among the hunters. Every man for himselé and the devil take the hindmost,. appears to be the Some of them are keen and active to find Oki Brin, amd spend most of their time in active search of his whereabouts, Others are camped around : the shores of the beautiful Webber Lake, and spend most of their time fishing for trout, and occasionally wander a little way into adjacemt. forests in pursuit of such miglity game as grouse and quail.— These phlegmatie hunters and _fishermen may not reap much glory, but they are having heaps of fun. All the hunters are having a grand time. ~Deer, grouse and quail are numerous in the vicinity of the Lake, and afford excellent shooting. Trout bite readily, and a large number are caught daily. No bear of any kind had been seen up to the tinte our informants left. Although Old Brin may escape unscathed, and his existence be as questionable as ever, those who are participating in the bunt ‘will remember the present dne as avery enjoyable hunting excursion in a wild, romantic country.
