The Daily Transcript. —_____—— THURSDAY SEPT. 22, 1887. HERE AND THERE. — Warm days and cool nights. * This evening the Knights of Pythias will return. Nevada City was never so dull as during the past week. is'on the increase. The Derbec drift mine is looking unusually well. Some of our merchants are receiving very large stocks of Fall goods. The contract work on the new shaft at the Providencé mine is progressing finely. If you want to buy land at bedrock prices call at the office of tle Land Associution, on Broad street. Goods, of all kinds, can be bought cheaper in Nevada City than at any town north of Sacramento. The Odd Fellows’ Building, inside and outside, presents a very fine appearance since it has been painted. The Sacramento races will be at end on Saturday evening, and then several hundred of our bravest. men and fairest ladies will.come home. &The mines at Graniteville are turning out considerable gold. The custom mill at that place is kept running night and day. "° The past week has been a brokén one, and people who have been away for pleasure will come home and-settle down to business again. As soon as Osborn’s electrician arrives here from the East, the incandescent lights will be introduced into the houses in this city. The Truckee Republican calls loud“601’’—a necktie club. The papér asserts that the town is fullof pimps, tramps, jailbirds and toughs of general character. * The editor of the Transcript writes that his money has not given out yet, and he will remain in San Francisco the balance of the week. He can make a bigger splurge on the smallest amount of money of any man we have ~ ever seen, read or heard of. “The Board of Supervisors, at their next session, ought to scrape up enough money to place the road between thi city and Grass Valley in decent shape. that road. than any one in the world, and we’ll bet our life on the proposition.

Just in’ Time. In yesterday’s Transcript we stated that when the Grand Jury assembled yesterday morning there was nothing in particular in sight for them to do, except to examine the county officers’ books and county property. The vartended to the duties assigned them, and re-assembled at the Court House at about 3 o’clock ready to make their It.was then thought that would be the end of the Grand Jury business. But lo, and behold, when they went into secret session, a big, fat envelope, doubtless containing very importantmatters, was handed to Foreman Casper by Judge Walling, who had found it in his box at the Postoffice. That.the letter contained important matter cannot now be questioned as Under Sheriff Holland has been kept quite busy in suhpoening witnesses. : A Good Company. ‘Uncle Gregory’s Daughter Comedy Company will play Friday evening at the Nevada Theatre. This company is said to be the best comedy company now ‘Sn the road, and judging from notices in other papers it must be as Mr. West,-their agent says, that it is the funniest comedy on the stage, so give them a full house.

A Valuable Horse Stolen—Sheriff” Lord so cents a can. ground. QUICK WORK. Arrests the Thief. » Yesterday morning at. about 534 o’clock the stable of Wm. George was entered by the prying off the staples of the door, and a horse valued at about $200, together with saddle, bridle and halter were stolen. .The robbery was discovered a short time thereafter, and word was immediately sent to Sheriff Lord who went in pursuit of the thief. The Sheriff started down the Colfax road, and after some little delay in tracing the thief, he finally discovered him riding leisurely along, about a mile this side-of Colfax. The Sheriff waited until he made a turn around the road, and then rode quickly up to the thief, and with pistol drawn commanded him to surrender. The thief did as requested, but at the same time informed the ‘Sheriff that he had a Colt’s revolver which he would give up. The Sheriff did not propose to place himself on equal footing with the horse-thief, and coms, manded him to let the pistol remain where it was. With his prisoner and the stolen property the Sheriff. went to Jim Faulknor’s place, and there the revolver was taken from him. The stolen property was delivered to the owner and the thief brought to this city and lodged in the county jail. The thief is a stranger in these parts and refuses to give his true name, but says he goes by the name of Richards. After he was arrested he intimated tu the Sheriff that he would not have been caught so easily if he had known that Mr. Lord was an officer. ‘He says . that he took Lord for a drummer he had met at-Gfass Valley on the previous’ evening. It appears the thief arrived at Colfax on Monday and walked up to Grass Valley on Tuesday. He claims that he occupied room No, 10 at the Depot Hotel, Colfax, where he left what baggage he possessed. Too much credit cannot be awarded to our ever prompt Sherifi in making such a speedy arrest. Since he has been in office it has been his sole object to do his whole duty, regardless of friends or foes, and the consequence is that law-breakers are very scarce in these parts. Sheriff Lord should make Truckee a visit and straighten out the hoodlum elemeni up there, and thus save the citizens the trouble of reorganizing the “601” society. ' Ladies Tournament. The ladies’ tournament, which took place at Sacramento, Monday tiiorning, attracted another large ‘crowd of people, and they were well paid for their visit, says the Record-Union. The grand stand was thronged with people, women and children predomi nating, while the. track and quarter stretch were literally lined with men. The names of the contestants were Miss Anna Kemler and Miss Johannah Kemler, two sisters, from Paradise Valley, Nevada; Mrs. Dr. Bailey, San Francisco; Miss M. C. Maloney, Nevada .City; Miss Kate George, Sacramento; Mrs. J. R. Evans, Sacramento; Miss Nettie Jackson, Florin: Miss Belle Hewett, Sacramento, and Miss Winnie Clark, of Yolo. All the ladies showed superior horsemanship. They rode down by the stand singly, by twos, threes, fours and fives, and then all abreast. Centennial. Latest letters from Superintendent Richards, of the Centenial gravel gold mine, says_that he pushing the}main drift south on thé 400 leyel, with favorable indications in the face. He found good gravel in upraise No. 2, but had to abandon it forthe present, on account of bad air. Upraise No. 3, one hundred feet further south, has been commenced, and it is the one which is expected to tap the true old blue gravel channel. Meanwhile a drift north has been started to explore and utilize the good gravel. passed through in that direction. The Centenial folks know they have good pay gravel—the question is how much,and how to take it out to the best advantage. Mine Leased. John M. Thomas, Deputy County Recorder, and W. D. Harris, Deputy County Clerk, the owners of the Albert-mine situated just below the Blue Tent road, on Selby Fiat, have leased the property to Robert Ellison, William Floyd and John Evans, who will idle for some time past. stamee Fades.

It is guaranteed to THE’ BANNER MINE. . — \ The Probabilities of Its Becoming More Famous than Ever. a Last week about 10 pounds of ore from the 120 level of the Banner mine was sent the Selby Smelting Works, San Francisco, for assay. The returns which were received yesterday astonished the owners. T.1e whole lot sent was worked and found to pay $102 15 in silver and $370 58.in gold to the ton. In order to get a atill better test, seven tons of the ‘same character of rock is being sacked and will be shipped to the Selby works immediately. In 1868 work was stopped on this mine owing to rock failing to pay by mill process, which was caused by the refractory character of the ore. In those days the cost.of milling rock was much greater than now, while the cost of reducing ores by the Smelting process was entirely-out of the question. The rock paid $8 a_ton when the mine shut down, but the cost of separating the gold from the baver metals took away the profits. At the bottom of the shaft, which is 620 feet deep, there is a ten foot ledge. of ore which will pay we!l by being worked by the Selby process. Ifthe returns from the seven tons of rock which are now being shipped should yield anything like that received from the first lot—and there is no good reason why it should not, as the rock was taken from the same’ level and from different places— a tramway will be built from the mine to the Narrow Gauge Railroad, a dis— tance of about two miles, and the ore shipped directly to San Francisco. A number of cars will be built, which when filled with ore, will travel by theirown momentum to the railroad, where the ore will be transferred, and the train of empty cars brought back to the. mine by horses. The entire cost of working the ore, including transportation, is $22 per ton, and the prospect is now favorable for this mine becoming, as its name indicates, the Banner mine of the State. Chicago Park. There is no doubt but that the Chicago Park ‘‘is a go.” The Union’s reporter was in Colfax on Sunday last, and was informed by a gentlemen who has authority to speak on the subject, that very soon ground will be broken at the place laid out for the. colony, streets marked out, and water, the clearest and purest that springs afford conveyed to the town site. .A beautiful and substantial hotel will soon be in process of erection, and that portion of Buena Vista twill be made to bloom like an Eastern garden. We know of people in this section who scoff at the idea of building & town of beautiful homes out in that favored spot, but it will be there just the same. There are people in this world who seem to be down on all enterprise and modern improvements, and they turn green when they see a person keeping time to the music of progress. There are a class of people in this world (this community has its ‘share) who will not use a mowing machine or a breech-loading shot gun just because their great grandfathers never used them. Heaps of Coin. —_—— The San Francisco Report saya for ten days past there has been a steady accumulation of coin at the Nevada Bank. People who have nothing better todo say they have watched the doors of that institution and have seen load after load of fat sacks going in. Last Thursday a party counted twenty-five sacks, each containing ‘$10,000, or $250,000 in the aggregate, which were brought from the Hibernia Bank under the watchful eye of C. S. Neal, the private secretary uf Senator Fair, and this has been going on ever since, until one, would think that the only object of a bank is to receive money. A reporter investigated the matter Tuesday and ascertained that the vault room of the Nevada Bank is not only crammed full of coin, but that it has been found necessary to store money in the vault of the basement floor, occupied by the Postal Telegreph Company, and also in the vault of a neighboring bank. It has been computed that over. $10,000,000 in gold coin has thus been amassed for some purpose. Evidently there is a little money in the co untry after all. Not Guilty.

EXCURSIONS NORTH. Special Round-trip Rates to the Northern Part of the State. It has been plain for some time that every effort should be made to give Eastern visitors information of the resources of all parts of California. The Bulletin says it has been very evident that many persons “have located in Southern California chiefly because that was the first and only part of the Statethey had seen, The characteristics of that region, admirable as they are, are not such as would suit every one® The advantages lacking might be found elsewhere in the State, and ithas been with the idea of gratifying all tastes that from time to time excursions from the southern metropolis to the upper part.of the State have taken place. For the approaching season, when more visilors to California are expected than ever before, a ‘series of weekly excursions from the south have been arranged. A gentleman from Dixon is at the head of the
scheme, The Southern Pacific, through Passenger Agent Geodman, is. interested in the matter and offérs all possible encouragement. Special cars will be run on the regular trains and a special round-trip ticket rate of $28 will be made. The ticke s will be good for thirty days. The route will be from Los Angeles by way ‘of Lathrop, Sacramento, Wheatland, Vina, Marysville, Chico, Tehama and Red Bluff to Anderson. The return will be on the other side the river by Colusa and Woodland to San Francisco thence south. Stops will be made at all principal points, including Fresnu, Merced, Modesto, Stockton, Lodi, Marysville, Gridley, Chico, Tehama, Vina, ‘Red Bluff, Corning, Willows, Colusa Junction, Williams, Woodland, Davis, Dixon, Elmira, Suisun and Martinez, and travelers may stop if they so desire, The first-excursion is announced to leave Los Angeles, October Ist. — Large Purchase of Grapes.
