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.

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.

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
