NOTES TAKEN FROM THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT (NEVADA CITY
FOR OCTOBER 1885 BY JUANITA BROWNE 2 OCTOBER 1985)
1 October 1885: There is a lady stopping at Room 14, Union
Hotel, who is a business and test medium. She comes highly
recommended, and brings with her testimonials from some of the
most prominent citizens of this State. One of her special gifts
is locating and describing mine.
2 October 1885: Judfs Soward of the Sierra :Counmty Superior
Court is suffering from an attack of the measles and will be
unable to temporarily exchange benches with Judge Walling of this
county as he had contemplated doing. Judge Walling will go to
Downieville to preside for Judge Soward.
One day last week ten tons of fruit from Dr. Chapman's ranch
was shipped from here to McGurn? at Virginia City and 7-tons from
the Tom Buckner orchard same city.
J. F. Kidder and W. S. Stoddard are having a tract of land near
the GV railraod depot cleared and will plant 300 Barlett pear
trees.
The San Francisco Post stated that: the feeling between the
mining men and those who oppose hydraulic mining is stronger now
than ever before, and the battle is becoming hotter all the time,
with the prospect that bloodshed will result unless there comes a
change for the better.
The miners employ watchmen night and day to prevent any one
coming upon their ground; whil the "slickens men," as they are
termed by the miners, keep men constantly on watch to see if the
injunctions are disobeyed. The latter are kept at a respectable
distance and can by strategy only get near enough to watch the
miners.
In an interview of the Post reporter, a miner claimed: Simply
we are not guilty. We have not been hydraulicking--only on
special occasions. Of course, when our men are working in
tunnels drifting and the mouth of the tunnel caves in, we turn on
the water in the pipes in order to wash away the earth and save
the lives of the men.
An Anti-Debris man said: That's a good story, but it lacks the
important element of truth. The mining companies are defying the
injunctions right along. The run Dyonaghts. — At¢-2-~ aim. One u0
July I heard them begin working their Pipes aad they kept it up
until 5 a.m. It is as much as a man's life is worth to be cught.
