Circuit Court in San Francisco on Sept. 11, which time had been set by Judge Sawyer some time ago. Wedirect the special attention of . our readers to the article in another column referring to the rise and fall of Meadow Lake. It is to our mind the best pen picture of that remarkable portion of Nevada county that has ever been putin print. It was carefully prepared, and may be dopended upon as being reliable in all respects, The Messenger says: Last week the fire on the hills communicated tothe large flume of the Sierra Battes Company, destroying about amileit. The company had some fifty to seventy-five men out fighting the fire. We do not understand that the flume was entirely destroyed for ‘that distance, but in many places it was burned down to the water’s edge. Three cords of oak wood unloaded on Broad street, near Pine, two or three weeks ago, seems to be mious anowner, An occupant of one of the offices in the vicinity says he has tried without success to find a claimant for it; and now he is taking considerable interest in observing how exposure to the open air causes the dimensions of the pile to decrease from day to day. ‘Rev, J. W. Ingram, in San Jose on Sunday last, spoke upon the question as to whether a Christian could attend the circus and still be consistent, and answered in the affirmative. Nevada City, Christians do not agree with him. They usually patronize menageries, however, when the same are connected with a good ring show. They also have a penchant for agricultural fairs, where there is a good horserace going on. There’s nothing mean about them, Highwaymen Abroad, Men carrying guns and supposed to be highwaymen infested the Grass Valley turnpike Friday night, but so faras his bevn’ reported they. made ro attacks. Several conveyances, in one of which rode Sheriff Carter, were coming home from the Fair! when two fellows with guns showed themselves at the roadside, but seeing so many vehicles in the procession probably’ concluded they were, taking too great a risk, and hurried back into the brush. In another case, the same night, a young man was coming up with two ladies, when one man with a gun stepped out and puthis hand on-the wheel. Just then another wagon-load of people came up behind and the straager retreated in haste. Trotting Herse Sold. Earl Brown-of this city has sold to R.

In 1869, Burns ; This was hailed with favor by the tried with the ore, but it ended ‘the lower part of Nevada county, 1a MEADOW LARK. \ Rise and Fall of Nevada County's Mushroom Cily. There.are two things at least in which Meadow Lake has surpassed most cities—its glorious rise and 1ts inglorious fall. Ite rapid ascent to the rank and honors of a busy city and its equally rapid decline have seemed as a great panorama, Scarcely twenty years have passed since the location of the old Union ledges, in in that district, and since then a city has risen and died away. In 1864, the California, Kuickerbocker and other largejclaims were located by the California Company, and the first start was given to the village. It was in the same year that many of the great mines of the Silver State began to show. signs of failure, and in consequence times throughout Washoe. were exceedingly dull. Then it was that rumors reached Virginia City,ofri¢h prospects struck on the summjt of the Sierra, where’evén on the surface of the great ledge could discontented miners in that)vicinity, who looked upon it as another golden opportunity which fortune had thrown in their way, As early in the following spring as the snows, of the mountains would permit,, the tide of immigration _began to pour into the district. In the summer of "65 hundreds of eager and cited persgns could be seen on the roads from Washoe making their way to this new El Dorado. Nor was the excitement confined alone to Washoe. From Sierra, Placer, and came great numbers, Miners with their implements strapped on their back, traders ad peddlers with their goods, and adventurers of every character were seen wending their way to seek their fortune in this new field. A few houses and cabins had been constructed on the bank of the lake, and this was knownas, Summit City. The work of-prospecting was vigorously begun and during the suammer more than a thousand locatious were made, __ Every mass of boulders that bore the slightest resemblance toa ledge was honored with a ‘‘notice,” and was christened with a_ brilliant name. A city was laid out with wide and even streets, and from many an old stump and tree placards announced ‘Lots for Sale.” By the fall of 1865, upwards of one hundred and fifty new houses had been added to the village. The stores were doing a thriving Business, the hotels were crowded, and the whole town was a scene of life and energy. It is estimated that during the summer fully three thousand persons visited the district with a view of location and investment. While a majority of the locations made in the district during the year were without value, yet there. were several that developed into mines of more than ordinary richness. A very . small percentage of the whole number of locations were workcd miore than enough to hold them. At the approach of winter, most of the adventureis departed for a more genial climate. The winter of '65-6 was long and severe. In the following spring, about the month of May, commenced again the tide of immigration. Day after day, and week after week, .the crowds arrived without abatement, The hotels were filled beyond gomfort, and sleeping room was in great demand. Town lots were held at extravagantly high price—and generally they were held—although there were several cases of actual purchase, The rents were proportionately high, leaving those of San Francisco far in the shade. During the summer many costly structures and dwelling were erected and, by fall, four hundred houses had been added to the alréady,large town. In June, 1866, the Meadow Lake Sun first n:ade its appearance as a daily newspaper, and continued so until the mining excitement subsided, when it appeared as a weekly. In the same month, in the feverish excitement of the times, a Stock Board was organized, and every evening it assembled to call-a long roll of stocks. But alas, the bidders were few—so few, indeed, that the association was soon numbered among the things of the past. During the year of 1866 Mcadow Lake was in the zenith of its glory. With its two hundred places of business, and its streets thronged with a busy crowd, it presented the appearance more of a metropolitan thoroughfare than of a mining town in the Sierras. .All day long the hammer and saw was heard, and not a week passed that did not add new dwellings to the city. All day long the heavy wheels of freight wagons ratiled through the streets bringing provisions for the multitude. Each arrival of the stages brought crowds of new-comers, who, before they had fully shaken the dust off their clothes, had settled down to talking “rents,” “lots,” and ‘‘ledges.” No camp in its earlier and flusher days, Joan form any ilea of the rush and During the year were erected seven quartz mills with an aggregate capacity of seventy-two stamps, Large quantities of the ore were hauled and the work of crushing began. The brightest hopes of the owners, and indeed of the inhabitants, were about pi Harry iicu aaa 6 B,. one, unless he has lived ina mining: > rustle of this place. Soe ee that, by the ordinary milling process, the gold in the ore could not be saved. The rock was hard and rebellious, and the substances ia its composition prevented the amalgation of the metal, ; This was hard news for the sethad been expended in building the city and developing the mines, and this was little better than lost. Many of the people now. turned their eyes toward their former homes and with sad hearts bade adieu to “Meadow Lake. Others, scarcely realizing that the failure had been so signal, lingered to hear from other mills and mines. But these sent, the same tidings, and the truth could no longer be concealed. 5 Sore and disappointed, they wended their way from the city, leaving béhind them many lovely dwellings and places of business, but hoping that in some time, when science had crowned failure with success, they might again return to their comfortable homes. ? famous process failure. A few. years afterward an experiment was made with Maltman’s process, but it, too, was unsatisfactory. : During the winter of '73-4, a large number of the deserted houses were crushed by the weight of the snow, and in the following September the Fire King completed the work of destruction by leveling to the ground nearly the whole city. In 1875 there was a revival of confidence in the district, and many old claims were relocated, But the excitement was without foun dation and soon died out, One by one others of the old settlers moved away, and now two or three families are all that remain of ‘the once lively city. = As one descends from the Summit, the old camping ground below, the blue lake soon comes in view.

The Young California Electrician at the Louisville Exposiiion. “Most of our readers recollect Frank B. Rae, under whose direction the experiments with the electric street lights were made in this city three or more years ago. He spent several weeks here and shortly after went to San Jose and there introduced into permanent use electric lights for street and store purposes. He was made Secretary and Electrician of the San Jose Company, which is today giving better illumination for the money than any other city in the State can boast. From San Jose, Mr, Rae went East last year to accept a more responsible and remunerative engagement, Yesterday we received from hima letter bearing date of Louisville, Ky., Aug. 28, and reading as follows: Presuming that you will visit the Southern Exposition now % eing held here, we hope that the Electric Railway may receive a measure of your time and attention, and we beg to hand you several complimentary tickets and extend the privelege of the road to yourself and aihirms The Electric Railway in operation here, extends around the park adjoining, and forming part of the exposition grounds, and is some 3000 feet in length.

Accidents on the Road. Friday, as John Temby was coming up from Grass Valley with a wagon load of eight persons, including some children, and had reached a point the other side of Glenbrook, -he-attempted-toturn to—one side of the read to let another conveyance pass, when the wheels went into a ditch and the wagon was upset. The occupants of the vehicle were thrown out with such force that some of them landed on the opposite side of Mrs. Temby fell against the fence and was severely bruised. The others were not much hurt. County Recorder Rapp, Clinton drill and a gentleman whose name we did not learn, were coming from the track to Grass Valley the same afternoon, when one of the rear wheels of the carriage broke, and the whole party were unceremoniously dumped out. The horses immeT . diately stopped and none of the people were seriously hurt, A double carriage containing three young men from this city were coming home Friday night at a spanking gait, and when a short distance this side of Grass Valley their team col* lided with the horse of a woman who was riding rapidly in the opposite direction. No damage was done. Two young men traveling between here and Grass Valley hadga smashup Friday, and their horse is sup1 posed to have run away. They were not hurt. f Permanent Injunction Granted. In the case of Richards vs. Dower, Judge Caldwell yesterday ordered that judgment be entered for plaintiff. It will be remembered that Dower was running a mining tunnél into the land of Richards in this city and the latter sued for an injunction to restrain him from continuing the work, application, when the case was appealed to the Supreme Court where it was held that defendant was guilty of a continuing trespass in destroying the substance of the land, and the matter was sent back to this court with instructions to render judgment for Richards and assess the costs to Dower.

There.are two things at least in which Meadow Lake has surpassed most cities—its glorious rise and 1ts inglorious fall. Ite rapid ascent to the rank and honors of a busy city and its equally rapid decline have seemed as a great panorama, Scarcely twenty years have passed since the location of the old Union ledges, in in that district, and since then a city has risen and died away. In 1864, the California, Kuickerbocker and other largejclaims were located by the California Company, and the first start was given to the village. It was in the same year that many of the great mines of the Silver State began to show. signs of failure, and in consequence times throughout Washoe. were exceedingly dull. Then it was that rumors reached Virginia City,ofri¢h prospects struck on the summjt of the Sierra, where’evén on the surface of the great ledge could discontented miners in that)vicinity, who looked upon it as another golden opportunity which fortune had thrown in their way, As early in the following spring as the snows, of the mountains would permit,, the tide of immigration _began to pour into the district.. In the summer of "65 hundreds of eager and cited persgns could be seen on the roads from Washoe making their way to this new El Dorado. Nor was the excitement confined alone to Washoe. From Sierra, Placer, and came great numbers, Miners with their implements strapped on their back, traders ad peddlers with their goods, and adventurers of every character were seen wending their way to seek their fortune in this new field. A few houses and cabins had been constructed on the bank of the lake, and this was knownas, Summit City. The work of-prospecting was vigorously begun and during the suammer more than a thousand locatious were made, __ Every mass of boulders that bore the slightest resemblance toa ledge was honored with a ‘‘notice,” and was christened with a_ brilliant name. A city was laid out with wide and even streets, and from many an old stump and tree placards announced ‘Lots for Sale.” By the fall of 1865, upwards of one hundred and fifty new houses had been added to the village. The stores were doing a thriving Business, the hotels were crowded, and the whole town was a scene of life and energy. It is estimated that during the summer fully three thousand persons visited the district with a view of location and investment. While a majority of the locations made in the district during the year were without value, yet there. were several that developed into mines of more than ordinary richness. A very . small percentage of the whole number of locations were workcd miore than enough to hold them. At the approach of winter, most of the adventureis departed for a more genial climate. The winter of '65-6 was long and severe. In the following spring, about the month of May, commenced again the tide of immigration. Day after day, and week after week, .the crowds arrived without abatement, The hotels were filled beyond gomfort, and sleeping room was in great demand. Town lots were held at extravagantly high price—and generally they were held—although there were several cases of actual purchase, The rents were proportionately high, leaving those of San Francisco far in the shade. During the summer many costly structures and dwelling were erected and, by fall, four hundred houses had been added to the alréady,large town. In June, 1866, the Meadow Lake Sun first n:ade its appearance as a daily newspaper, and continued so until the mining excitement subsided, when it appeared as a weekly. In the same month, in the feverish excitement of the times, a Stock Board was organized, and every evening it assembled to call-a long roll of stocks. But alas, the bidders were few—so few, indeed, that the association was soon numbered among the things of the past. During the year of 1866 Mcadow Lake was in the zenith of its glory. With its two hundred places of business, and its streets thronged with a busy crowd, it presented the appearance more of a metropolitan thoroughfare than of a mining town in the Sierras. .All day long the hammer and saw was heard, and not a week passed that did not add new dwellings to the city. All day long the heavy wheels of freight wagons ratiled through the streets bringing provisions for the multitude. Each arrival of the stages brought crowds of new-comers, who, before they had fully shaken the dust off their clothes, had settled down to talking “rents,” “lots,” and ‘‘ledges.” No camp in its earlier and flusher days, Joan form any ilea of the rush and During the year were erected seven quartz mills with an aggregate capacity of seventy-two stamps, Large quantities of the ore were hauled and the work of crushing began. The brightest hopes of the owners, and indeed of the inhabitants, were about pi Harry iicu aaa 6 B,. one, unless he has lived ina mining: > rustle of this place. Soe ee that, by the ordinary milling process, the gold in the ore could not be saved. The rock was hard and rebellious, and the substances ia its composition prevented the amalgation of the metal, ; This was hard news for the sethad been expended in building the city and developing the mines, and this was little better than lost. Many of the people now. turned their eyes toward their former homes and with sad hearts bade adieu to “Meadow Lake. Others, scarcely realizing that the failure had been so signal, lingered to hear from other mills and mines. But these sent, the same tidings, and the truth could no longer be concealed. 5 Sore and disappointed, they wended their way from the city, leaving béhind them many lovely dwellings and places of business, but hoping that in some time, when science had crowned failure with success, they might again return to their comfortable homes. ? famous process failure. A few. years afterward an experiment was made with Maltman’s process, but it, too, was unsatisfactory. : During the winter of '73-4, a large number of the deserted houses were crushed by the weight of the snow, and in the following September the Fire King completed the work of destruction by leveling to the ground nearly the whole city. In 1875 there was a revival of confidence in the district, and many old claims were relocated, But the excitement was without foun dation and soon died out, One by one others of the old settlers moved away, and now two or three families are all that remain of ‘the once lively city. = As one descends from the Summit, the old camping ground below, the blue lake soon comes in view.

Rae, under whose direction the experiments with the electric street lights were made in this city three or more years ago. He spent several weeks here and shortly after went to San Jose and there introduced into permanent use electric lights for

street and store purposes. He was made Secretary and Electrician of the San Jose Company, which is today giving better illumination for the money than any other city in the State can boast. From San Jose, Mr, Rae went East last year to accept a more responsible and remunerative engagement, Yesterday we received from hima letter bearing date of Louisville, Ky., Aug. 28, and reading as follows: Presuming that you will visit the Southern Exposition now % eing held here, we hope that the Electric Railway may receive a measure of your time and attention, and we beg to hand you several complimentary tickets and extend the privelege of the road to yourself and aihirms The Electric Railway in operation here, extends around the park adjoining, and forming part of the exposition grounds, and is some 3000 feet in length.

Accidents on the Road. Friday, as John Temby was coming up from Grass Valley with a wagon load of eight persons, including some children, and had reached a point the other side of Glenbrook, -he-attempted-toturn to—one side of the read to let another conveyance pass, when the wheels went into a ditch and the wagon was upset. The occupants of the vehicle were thrown out with such force that some of them landed on the opposite side of Mrs. Temby fell against the fence and was severely bruised. The others were not much hurt. County Recorder Rapp, Clinton drill and a gentleman whose name we did not learn, were coming from the track to Grass Valley the same afternoon, when one of the rear wheels of the carriage broke, and the whole party were unceremoniously dumped out. The horses immeT . diately stopped and none of the people were seriously hurt, A double carriage containing three young men from this city were coming home Friday night at a spanking gait, and when a short distance this side of Grass Valley their team col* lided with the horse of a woman who was riding rapidly in the opposite direction. No damage was done. Two young men traveling between here and Grass Valley hadga smashup Friday, and their horse is sup1 posed to have run away. They were not hurt. f Permanent Injunction Granted. In the case of Richards vs. Dower, Judge Caldwell yesterday ordered that judgment be entered for plaintiff. It will be remembered that Dower was running a mining tunnél into the land of Richards in this city and the latter sued for an injunction to restrain him from continuing the work, application, when the case was appealed to the Supreme Court where it was held that defendant was guilty of a continuing trespass in destroying the substance of the land, and the matter was sent back to this court with instructions to render judgment for Richards and assess the costs to Dower.
