The NEVADA DEMOCRAT -~1854[eu
Feb. 8-RED DOG -We learn from Judge)Burgess that miners in
this rich mining location are doing a thrifty business.
The Wolverine Claims are paying largely. Wooster & Co. are reaping a rich harvest. Riggs & Co., the new owners of the Perkins
claims, are amassing a fortune. Water is abundant and the miners
are in the best of spirits.
Mr. Stolph, Expressman through Red Dog, Walloupa, Little
York, Washington, etc., says that miners in those areas are doing
well wherever water is available. Walloupa miners are dissatisfied because the Walloupa Ditch Co. is not extending its ditch
up the ridge to Steep Hollow Creek so as to have plenty of water
the year around.
Mar. 1-Our Red Dog correspondent reports that the weather there
has been very disagreeable--either rain, hail or snow for
some time now, so that only the most hardy and intrepid miners
can work in their claims. Some companies are doing well, others
are not paying their water bills.
(in a half column petition to the Legislature against
the Legislature appointing a U.S. Senator (rather than having the
people elect him), signed by Nevada County Democrats, appear the
following names known to be Red Dog citizens: G. B. Zaff, John
Grove, Thomas Marsh.)
(Constable's Sale--judgement against Abram Neece--selling
5 shares of the Chalk Bluff Water & Lumber Co.)
(In a report from various mining districts): Claims on
Squirrel Hill, Walloupa, paying $25 per day to the hand; Brown's
Hill, from $10 to an ounce daily per man.
(Letter to the editor, no important information, but
addressed "Brooklyn", showing the town still known by both names.
ACCIDENT AT RED DOG-On Monday of last week, JOSEPH KAGY
was working in a deep cut when one of the banks caved on him, nearly
burying him. He was thought to be dead when dug out, but soon revived, and seems to be in good health now. The accident took place
on Abercrombie & Co.'s Claims.
Mar.15-Miners at Little York have discovered a bed of very hard
cement, 6 to 10 feet deep under the surface, and extending
more than a mile up and down the ridge. The cement is very rich in
gold, paying an average of 30¢ to the pan, but is very stubborn as
it will not release the gold even when crushed very fine. Special
treatment is required. On this lead are Dixon & 60's claims ahout
8 miles above Little York. At Lowell Hill, claims are paying $8 to
$10 per day to the hand. At Negro Flat, Montgomery's Claims are
averaging 410 to $15 per day to the man.
Mar.29-REPORT FROM BROOKLIN-The Robertson & Cos Claims, for
3 weeks past, have paid 1 oz. to $37 per day per man.
Apr. 5-Seven men have been hung from the same Old Oak Tree at
Jackson, Amador County.
Apr.12-The principal proprietors of the Chalk Bluff Ditch Co.,
report that they expect the ditch to be completed to Steep
Hollow very shortly. HS,.
