The attendance at yesterday’s ‘Traces was somewhat larger than on the opening day, and the pacing and trotting races were exceedingly interesting. The first event was the third heat of the unfinished half mile and repeat between Hector and Surprise, each of which won a heat Wednesday afternoon. The flag fell at the first ‘scoring, Hector getting off two full lengths ahead with Surprise galloping slowly, They maintained this distance apart all the way, the leader coming’ under the wire in 53 seconds, his rider not having pushed him at any time. Surprise was not driven any until on the home stretch when the whip was given to him vigorously. “‘I tried to win that race,’’ said Surprise’s rider, Jas. Simmons, as he got on the scales to be weighed at its conclusion: **T noticed you did—when you got pretty close tothe wire and saw it was no use,’’ replied Judge Lowe with a rather strong inftection of sarcasm in his tone: The trickery of young Simmons, which had also been observed by the judges-in the second heat, called forth a merited censure. The race and all pools were declared off, and the horse, the rider and the owner(McCrimmons) were ruled off the tracks of the National Trotting Association, McCrimmon’s offense being participation in. the fraud. The action of the judges ‘was generally commended by the spectators. PACING RACE. The next event was the free-forall pacing race between Shaker, Ackerman and Prince. The gong rang at the third trial. The horses traveled well together for more than a quarter when Prince flew off his feet and fell far behind. Shaker won in 2:26, Ackerman a length behind, and Prince. not much more than saving his distance. Time 2:26. Second Heat— Princé had the advantage half way to the first quarter, when he broke and ran. for an eighth, both the others passing him. When he settled down to business again he made every step count, and came from the last quarter on the haunches of Ackerman, Shaker being a rather slow third. It looked as though Prince was going to take the heat, but at the distance pole he broke and Ackerman got home a length ‘ahead of him. Time, 2:28%%. Third heat—A bad break early in the race threw. Ackerman far to the rear, Prince took a good lead, shaker following Him two or three lengths behind all around. Prince won in 2:28, Ackerman barely saving his distance. _ Fourth heat—This was the best contested heat ef the day, Prince going first, Shaker sccond and Ackerman third, in which order they passed under the wire a length apartin 2:26¢. . Fifth heat—Ackerman got a good start, but lost the advantage by a break at the first eighth. Prince then went ahead, Shaker crowding him. Behind the hill Ackerman passed Shaker and came in second, Prince getting the heat in 2:291¢ and winning the race’ and first money. Second and third money was equally divided between Shaker and Ackerman. s TROTTING. The entries in the 2:30 trot were Brigade, Sheriffess and Doncaster. This was an excellent race, the principal contest being between Brigade and Sheriffess ‘who in the first heat kept side _ by sidefrom the first quarter to within two hundred yards of the wire when Brigade passed under it in 2:40, Doncaster making a fair showing in the third place. Second heat—Sheriffess got the lead on the start, owing to a break by Brigade, and held it for a half with a good prospect of _ winning. But on the last eighth Brigade passed:him and came in first ‘in 2:341¢, Sheriffess a full length behind, and Doncaster outside the distance pole (waived). » Third heat—Brigade* won in 2:35, Sheriffess traveling neck and neck with him all around and coming in less than half a length behind, Doncaster was jnst: inside the pole when the gong sounded. Brigade took first money, Sheriffess seéond and Doncaster third. The judges for the running race: were the same as on Wednesday. ‘. For the pacing and trotting events they. were R.J. Lowe, J. A.

Work Done During the Past Year and its Results —~ Mammoth Pump. u : The annual report of the Alaska Mining Company, whose claim is at Pike City, shows a production in eleven months .of $175,457, 46 per cent. of which amount has been placed to the credit of shareholders—8 per cent. on the total capitalization,» The following statements are gathered from the report: The cost of mining is $5.70 per ton, and of milling $6.64 per ton. The mine has been systematically opened, equipped and supplied and its value made apparent. A year ago they had three temporary pumps at work removing the water that had flooded:the mine tor a long time. After the shaft was clearéd to the fifth level it was determined that permanent: pumping machinery should be placed in the mine. In June last the flow was at the rate of 550 to 600 gallons per minute, or over 1,400,000 gallons in 24 hours. The registering box gives 80 miner’s inches under a six-inch head and 1U0 inches legal standard under four inch head.. Most mines, with an equal flow of water, would either have been gbandoned or an expensive plant of pumping machinery costing, with foundation and freight, from -$100,000 to $150,000, would have been provided. To, successfully run the mine until its earnings should so equip it was impossible, and plans must be varied or other means tried ; so after thorough investigation, a compound duplex mine pumping engine 1844 in. x29 x12 in. x18 in. was selected. It is of 1,000,000 gallons daily capacity, at lowest speed. Its weight, with connec. tions, is 15 tons. Its cost, including freight, fittings and setting, has been only 12,650. Over 12-, 000 tons of rock was excavated for its room and reservoir. This pumping engine is placed at the 5th level of the mine, and now throws the entire volume of water, at single lift,through a 12-inch column 400 feet, to the drain tunnel, and is capable of much great er service if required, ‘by accelerating its speed. Steam is conveyed to it through a 5-inch pipe 500 feet from the boilers. The steam pipe is’ thorougly wrapped with hair felting encased in canvass, aud the loss of steam by condensation is insignificant, the steam gauge at the pumping engine registering the same as atthe surface. The water from the upper levels is conveyed through wooden boxes to the reservoir at the 5th level, supplying in,its passage an automatic steam condenser, constructed by J. H. Barker, machinist and chief engineer at the mine, which assists the engine with vacuum pressure, registering 23 inches; at the same time the water is utilized for air blast to ventilate the mine, thus dispensing fan machinery.’ The three ordinary direct-acting steam pumps, formerly in use, have been placed respectively at the 3d, 4th and 5th levels, to be used as relief to the large pump in case of stoppage to change valves, or for any other cause, which would be equally necessary with any other pumping system. Unt’l the last large increase of water, they have been of sufficient capacity to furnish such relief. Now, the one at No. 3 level, by actual test at very high speed, is found sufficient ; but due precaution and necessity requires another of equal or greater ‘power to be placed immediately at No. 5, to throw the water to the No. 3 pump, and one has been ordered, as the two smaller ones in use would be quickly overpowered in case of emergency. — Special Trains, The Railroad Company will run special trains to Glenbrook Park on each day of the five days’ races that began Wednesday.

By -RosENTHALL: ' : —_——2> TuErE will be skating at the heatre Saturday. evening. a Sones FARRER-DORSEY WEDDING. will leave Nevada City for Glen. The President of the Y. M. 8, C. Goes Back on His Bacheloric Vows. The wedding of Thomas G. Farrer, of this city, and Miss Lou Dorsey, daughter of J. J. Dorsey, 1a prominent citizen of Grass Valley, took place Wednesdoy evening at the residence of the young lady’s parents in Grass Valley. There were present quitea number of guests, . The interior of the house was beautifully decorated with flowers, ivy and trailing vines. R.C. Dorsey, brother of the bride, acted as groomsman, and Miss Annie Duval as bridesmaid. Mrs. F. G. Beatty played Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, and to the delightful strains of the music the brid.l couple entered the parlor. They took their place: under a canopy of lace drapery, ferns,smilax and flowers, fromtthis being suspended oyer their heads a white dove holding in its beak a pierced heart.. They stood upon a mat of white chrysanthemums, while-at their back was a large horseshoe of white flowers. Rev. M.D. Buck rendered the marriage service of the Episcopal Church in an impressive manner. The handsome bride was most becomingly . attired in cream colored surah satin and brocade, with a veil of white tulle. Her ornaments were Marechal Neil roses. She was the recipient of numerous elegant presents, testifying in an unmistakable manner to the appreciation in which she is held by her acquaintances. Mr, Farrer has long been a resident of this city, is a young gentleman of sterling worth, and enjoys a degree of popularity and respect among his fellow «citizens that speaks most favorably for him. : The supper was: beautiful and temptingly arranged in all its details. The evening was agreeably passed, and at a late hour the guests departed wishing the young couple a life of unbounded happiness and success. — The Other Side. Afew-days ago we published the statement of Al. Woods concerning some trouble he had while prospecting along the South Yuba river’ below Edward’s— crossing. John McCarthy, who has long lived at Columbia Hill, and‘ is most favorably known, called at this office Wednesday evening and said he was the owner of, the claim upon which Wood trespassed; also that he was one of the men who drove the prospector from the premises. Mr. McCarthy says: ‘‘When Wood’s rocker was thrown into the river he walked over some ‘distance, got .4chis gun and come back to where a white man in my employ, two Chinaman and myself stood. His actions were such as to convince us he meant to do some shooting. We took the gun away. from him, and I carried it upto Mr. Edwards at the bridge asking’ him to -bring it in and give it to Wood the next time he came to town.” Mr. Edwards did not have occasion to come to town soon, so on Tuesday last Mr. McCarthy brought in the gun hirnself and delivered it to Mr. Wood. Fruit Around Colfax. The Auburn Republican says: /The.impetus given to fruit growing in the Colfax district is rapidly increasing the price of land and the time is notfar distant when fancy prices for improved ranches thére will begin tobe therule. Among many other new ranches near Colfax worthy of mention is W. G. Hubley’s, only a short distant from town on the Grass Valley road. -Mr. Hubley bought 160 acres there in the spring of 1884 Tokay, Muscat and Purple Damascus graped, all of which are looking fine. He has them enclosed with a rabbit proof fence made by substituting a wire net for three lower wires, the net extending half way up the posts. This land, which cost Mr. Hubley less than $25 an acre, could not now be purchased at $100 an acre and similar figures are true of nearly every ranch it that locality. . .‘Stop That Hydraulicing.’’ This is the song the anti-debris journals are singing -almost daily. We should think the’ subject was about worn thread are when we dome to. consider the fact that there is not now, nor has there been, any hydraulicing done in this section since Sawyer rendered his unjust decision. ‘We do ‘nct know of a single hydraulic mining company that has made any preparation whatever for hydraulicing’ as is falsely. charged: by such sheets as_the Bee and Appeal. Several of the old companies are preparing to drift and we doubt if that manner of working their claims will prove successful, ex. cept in one or two cases. and planted 20 acres to Emperor, « Grand Jury Report. The Grand Jury, whichwent into session Wednesday, adjourned shortly before noon yesterday. Following is the substance of the report: es ( To the Superior Court of Nevada County: We, the grand jurrors summoned to: examine into the affairs of the county, beg leave to report as follows: One case was brought before us and ignored. We examined the county jail and found it in an excellent and clean condition, also secure. We heard no complaints from the prisoners as to the provision for their comfort. We found in the jail as prisoners six males and. one female. All being there for minor offenses except one charged with p.ssing counterfeit money. We examined the. books in the Sheriffs office and found them well kept. We inspected the County Clerk and Recorder and found everything therein in an orderly and proper condition. We building aid found it in good conwainscotting, which is rotting,and the plastering which is breakihg. of water from the pipe of T. Lampe’s building adjoining. We pervisors abate the nuisance:and repair the wainscotting. We examined the Treasurer’s books and round them. kept’ in neat style. The correctness of his’ figures we are unable to report, for the reason it would take four weeks’ hard labor to examine them thoroughly. We believe them to be correct. We visited the County Hospital where we found ‘everything neat, clean and comfortable. The patients are well taken care of and contented. We found thie building in good repair with the exception of the kitchen and dining room, the ceiling’ of which should be raised toa hight of at least 14 feet. ° We recommend the Supervisors to raise the roof of these rooms 80 as to give better light and ventilation.
