_ which eclipsed the performances of the flatFare Fionr at Grass VALLEY.—Our
enterprising neighbors know how to get up
Sunday amusements. In our stupid town, if
agentieman indulges in a little out of the
way performance, he is forthwith threatened
with, if not marched to, the calaboose. No
such puritanical restraints are -imposed on
the free and happy citizens.of Grass Valley.
If two men chohse to engage in & discussion,
whether pohtical or otherwise, they are at
full liberty to convince,each other, ne matter
if they_use clubs or fists for the purpose, in“stead of mere words. On Sunday evening
last, two gentlemen got into a controversy,
which soon warmed into an interchange of
fistiearguments.. The friends of one of the
parties took a hand in the contest, whereupon sympathizers of the other party came
to the rescue, when the whole party adjournéd to the street, and went at it in_a manner
boat men of the olden time in an Arkansas
free fight. Seme twenty-five men took a
hand in the muss, and they nearly all came
out of it with bunged eyes arid bloody noses.
No weapons more dangerous thar elubs were
used, and ‘the sport finally terminated by the
withdrawal from the ring of each of the participants, and as fast as his hash was settled.
Recruitine.—Mr. H. A Greene has already evrolled the names of several fine
specimens of youngananhvod,at his recruiting
station in this city. How the work of enrollment is progressing, at his North San Juan.
Station, we have not learned. To-day Mr.
Greene goes to Grass Valley to open a reeruiting station there. There is an abundance of genuine patriotism and no lack of
the right sort of chivalry in Grass~ Valley
and that town, no doubt, will furnish some
fine soldiers. Mr. Greene’s object is to raise
a full company from Nevada county. The
following is the form of muster-roll which
_ the volunteer is required to subscribe :
Francis J. posses Colonel ; _
James N. OLsey, Lieut. Col.
James F. Curtis, Major.
We, the undersigned, hereby enroll our&
selves in Company H, of the above named . .
Regiment, to be organized under-the laws of
the State of California, and the services of
said iment to be tendered te-the United
States Government. .
The terms of enlistment shall be in accordance with the requirements for veluateer
troops at the time we are mustered into the
service of the United States ; it being understood that six. months shall be the shortest
period of enlistment.

he gave up the contest, remarking that he

COPPER IN NEVADA COUNTY.
From s gentleman, extensively known to
we, yesterday réceived a package of specimens of pure virgin copper, taken from the
claims of Hiscox, Lewis & Co., Buckeye
Hill, Sweetland. Our correspondent, who
dates his communication at Sweetland, June
6, says:
I notice that-the city (on sei a uently
alluding to the copper discoveries in Calaveras and perhaps other southern counties,
while we of Nevada are not supposed to be
such a brazen sort of mners. Yet it has
been the misfortune, perhaps, of the parties
alladed to, to find quite an extensive amount
of virgin cepper in their claims.
’ This metal is found in slate bed-rock of a
light green color, that underlies » gravel deposit of seventy feet in depth. The ledge or
seam frum which the copper is taken varies
from.ten to fifty feet in width, and may .
prove to be one of the richest mines of this
metal found on this coast.
There: has some of this copper assayed (in
gold) as much as $1,25 per oz. The parties
in cleaning up their sluices for gold — find
from thirty te forty pounds of this metal—
whi'e there is: always much of the metal
bright—so. that it amalgamates readily with
xuicksilver—and is not so easily separated
fromgold.:
This ledge can be traced on the surface,
for miles, and perhaps when fairly tested—
if the metal proves to contain such a per
cent. of gold—there will be a “copper mania”
in this sober-minded community.
