21, 1851: New pass of the Sierra Nevada is reported by a gentleman
from Deer Creek.
22, 1851: Nevada Corres. Nevada City, Feb. 17, 1851
Messrs, Editor: Things are going on profitably and peacefully in
our mountain city. The disappointment in obtaining watér from the
Cl@uds is fast being overcome by the completion of our canals and
there is a fair prospect of an abundant supply.
There is no material change in the success of the mines about
this place, but from the appearance of the gambling houses, I should
Suppose the dust was more plenty. The largest portion of the crowds
that nightly frequent the gambling houses, seem to be enticed there
by the music, or to go there to pass off an idle hour in looking
at their fellow miners who are so foolish as to work hard all day to
get dust to gamble off at night, and will even strain their credit
for provisions, and with the first dust they wash, buck off at

of being implicated in the recent firing of Nevada City, was arrested
in Marysville on Monday evening. It was though that if taken back
to Nevada he would be hung, so strong was the populare prejudice, and
so deep the indignation of that outraged community.
28: “The richest depost of gold that has ever been discovered is
generally known as the "Gold Tunney" on account of the vast treasures
which have been taken therefvom and the rich prospect offered for
the future. The tunnel runssunder a part of Nevada and the discovery
was made by Messrs. Baker, brothers of the candidate for Harbor
Master. These gentlement sold their right, title and interest to
the claims a few days since for thé sum of $130,000 to Mr. G.T. McMakin. $50,000 have been dug up already from the claim,
