THURSDAY KVE’G, AUGUST 3 °93, TRACK BURNED. ~The Narrow Gauge Train Delayed Several Hours. The regular passenger train due here at 5:10 o’clock yesterday afternoon did not ar—rive until 10:30 o'clock last night. The tardiness was owing to the burning of about 150 yards of the railroad track near Melarkey’s crossing. When the train went down to Colfax theré were no signs of fire, but on the return trip the railroad track and trees and shrubbery on either side were enveloped in flames. The train eould not pass and was delayed until such time as the flames could be subdyed and the track repaired, which was until about half past nine. : Manager Kidder sent down an engine and men to fight the fire, the men fighting lustily until their purpose was accomplished. The mail bags were transferred and brought back on the special engine. The 5:55 train did not get to Colfax to connect with the local, so all passengers for that train had to lodge in Colfax for the night. Telegraphic communication was also shut off by the tire but everything will be all right today. : MORE FOREST FIRES, For several days immense forest fires have been prevailing south and southeast of town, destroyifg a vast amount of property which will foot up well ‘into vhe thousands of “dol ‘. given to five or ten ‘thousand men, SOMETHING GRAND. oe The Gravel Mines Coming fo the Front i a Magnificent Style. — The gravel mines in this district are now coming to the front in a manner that is not only highly pleasing to the stockholders but to everybedy who has an interest in ‘Nevada City’s Prosperity. The drift mines on the Washington ridge, above town, are now showing. what they are capable of doing after the proper development work has been done. Yesterday afternoon the Original Harmony made a clean-up of nearly $4,000, which assures the paying of all their heavy expenses and a dividend of about, $1,500. The company are now working in the richest gravel ever discovered’ in the mine, and indications point to the fact that the same rich gravel runs through their entire property. Ifthis be so, and it. will searcely admit of a doubt, then it is fully demonstrated that an unexpected new era has dawned upon the people in this section. This same lead has been struck up. near the Central House, a distance of eleven or twelve miles from Nevada City, and the gravel and gold is identical with that of the Harmony, thus confirming the opinion so often expressed by gravel miners, that the channel extended up the ridge for many miles, Between these mines there are two very large claims which are owned by Hon.

Ceroner Daniels was tehold an inquest at ‘Truckee today te inquire into the cause of the death of the late H. H. Hartley, who died at Meadow Lake last fall, ‘The remains of the deceased were exhumed a short time ago upon petition made to the Superior Court by Mrs. Hartley. A chemical analysis of the stomach revealed the presence of a sufficient quantity ef opium to produce death. It is supposed that the opium was taken in the form of laudanum, but whether Hartley committed suicide or was poisoned by some one else, is a mystery. The old man had said to-different ones that he would not pass another winter at Meadow Lake, and he appeared to be rather disconsclate at times, It seems strange, however, if he did commit suicide, that he did not leave 4. note explaining in some way the cause of the act, or just eneugh to prevent suspicion of foul play resting upon,any one. Nothing of the sort could be found. A man of Hartley's intelligence and ideas would hardly commit suicide without leaving a statement of some kind. ——— a DEPRICESjee Powder MOST PERFECT MAD EB.

Hartley, who died at Meadow Lake last fall, ‘The remains of the deceased were exhumed a short time ago upon petition made to the Superior Court by Mrs. Hartley.

It is supposed that the opium was taken in the form of laudanum, but whether Hartley committed suicide or was poisoned by some one else, is a mystery. The old man had said to-different ones that he would not pass another winter at Meadow Lake, and he appeared to be rather disconsclate at times, It seems strange, however, if he did commit suicide, that he did not leave 4. note explaining in some way the cause of the act, or just eneugh to prevent suspicion of foul play resting upon,any one. Nothing of the sort could be found. A man of Hartley's intelligence and ideas would hardly commit suicide without leaving a statement of some kind. ——— a DEPRICESjee Powder MOST PERFECT MAD EB.
