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. :

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.
W. W. Stow of San Fiancigco, and it is
said that the development made in the Lupin
mine, near the Central House, in which
section the Centennial and San Jose gravel
mines are also ives Mr. Stow sufficient. know! dountry to believe
there are milli dollars in his property.
which as yet nothing has been done upon,
and hs will go ahead and‘ open up. these
mines.
It can be safely said that when all the
mines on the ridge leading. to Washingtow
are in full operation, employment . could be
There

as in this vicinity, and when it is all opened
up, Nevada City, on account of this great
output of gold, will become as famous as

SENATOR PERKINS’ RECEPTION.
A Deseription of the Grand Affair Which Took
Place Last Week.
—
[The following description of Senator Perj
kins’ reception on last Thursday evening,
was sent to the Transcript next day, but
was delayed in the mails :]
San Francisco, July 28th.
The reception tendered Senator Perkins
last night by the Union League Club was
an enthusiastic affair, Besides the members of the club nearly all the prominent
Republicans of the city were present.
Besides the Senator, Trving M. Scott was
the principal speaker with Horace Davia a
good second, These gentlemen are among
the very best speakers in the State for auch
occasions and spoke with pronouced feeling.
Mr, Scott said that for twelve years California hai practically been without a representative in the upper House ef Congress,
but that today this unfortunate state of
affairs was at an end. Iii the selection of
Governor Perkins, the State had secured a
man who was morally and intellectually the
peer of any man in Congress; a man who
understood all the various industries and
interests of the State as though ‘to the
manor born;” a man whose heart was in
touch with every toiler and worker from the
mountains to the ocean; a man whose deep
sympathy was born of an experience, extending from the position of sailor-boy to
gold-miner, from country storekeeper te
ship-owner, from merchant-prince to Governor; a man whose selection has caused a
thousand hearts to beat for joy. This man
was. the guest of the evening as our new
California Senator, but we call him still by
the dear old name $f ‘Governor,’ . ‘‘For
this” (said the speaker with great emotion)
turning to the Senator, ‘tis our pet name for
ou,”
“I'd sooner you call me George,”
rupted Mr. Perkins:
Well sir,” said the speaker, ‘‘we do not
expect ‘that you will please everybody; we
know that your heart is right, all we ask is
that_you will follow your own conviction of
duty and we know that this will, and must
be, such as shall be an honor to yourself and
this golden State of the br wet" Greas

A SOLID TOMB.
A Prominent Truckee Man Who Has His Grave
Prepared:
The Telegraph thinks that Truckee, Nevada county, State of California, is sure to
attract attention, even if she has to start a
graveyard to doit. Truckee was the first
place on the Pacific Coast to rid itself of the
Chinese, an example many other places
would do well to follow. Truckee had the
reputation of supplying the most prisoners
for our county jail, bué the whole county
seems to about even up in matters criminal
at present; Truckee has a regular rocking
stone, warranted first-class and no humbug;
McGlashan will refund your money if you
are not satisfied when you see it; but one ot
Truckee’s future attractions is a grave with
a glass cover. The Sacramento News editor has been to-Truckee to look at it. It is
only a short distance from ‘The Populars”
and is as strange a sight as one would witness in many a day’s journey. It is a grave
——a mest remarkable grave—prepared for
Stewart McKay, proprietor of the Truckee
Hotel. McKay is alive and bids fair to live
many years, yet his final resting place is
ready to receive his body. The grave is
carved in a granite boulder, and is of regulation size, The rock is as larg? as an ordinary house and the sepulchre is at the top,
A stonecutter put in an entire winter in
making the opening. A heavy plate glass
will cover the tomb, so that the corpse will
be visible at all times, except°when covered
by the snows of Winter. There will be no
“earth to earth and dust to dust’’ ceremony
when Stewart McKay is lail away in his
tomb, and no request that his grave be kept

DESOLATION.
-_—_
The Mining Town of Warduer, Idaho, Almost
Deserted.
The town of Wardner, Idaho, one of the
principal mining town of the northwest, is
practically deserted. Angus MéKay, who’
arrived from there last evening, says the
Tidings, accompanied by his wife, states
that on account of the low price of silver all
the mines have closed) down and there is
very little work ef any sort for anyone,
Business houses are closed and the shutters
nailed up, and owners of residences are willing to to let them free of rental to any one
who will ovcupy them. ‘We have, ” said
Mr. McKay, ‘‘one of the largest ore bodies
in the world, and if there is any legislation
whatever in behalf of silver, the ‘mines will
be reopened, but at its preaeut low value,
the mining of silver is very unprofitable, as
it is regarded merely as a commodity, instead of a precious metal.” Mr. McKay
also reports that all the Grass, Valleyans
have left Wardner.

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
