Delano, continued:
vast abundance. The mountain air and the mountain fish have wrought
miracles in the health of both.
NI September 26, 1862 p3cl: Delano's Circular. "Old Block"
gives the industrious people of the County an enlivening blast from
his bugle in the TRANSCRIPT to-day. We trust it will stir the blood of
our culturists and wake then up to a sense of their worth as citizens
of the State. It is only by comparing the products of section, and
exchanging ideas on cultivation, that the virtues of our climate and
soil will be fairly understood. We hope the people of the County will
answer all "Old Block's" questions satisfactorilly to him at
Sacramento. (Refering to p2c2 of TRANSCRIPT. )
NT May 4, 1866 p3c2: Interesting. "Old Block" (A. Delano of GV)
has recently visited Nicaragua, where he received the kindest treatment from the people. His descriptions of the country and the people
are given in a series of letter to the SACRAMENTO UNION. They are very
interesting, as is everything fram the pen of "Old Block".
NT April 8, 1868 p2cl: Fram Nicaragua. Mr. A. Delano, on Saturday
received a chocolate service, as a present fran Mr. H. Gottel, editor
of "The Future of Nicaragua." The service was gotten up at Rivas,
says the GV UNION, and consists of cups nearly carved from the native
calabash and set upon bottoms of beautiful, wood handsomely polished.
These bottoms are specimens of what the country produces in the shape
of valuable wood. The whole set is decidedly unique and ornamental,
and Old Block says to a chocolate drinker it is invaluable, since the
beverage tastes from these cups as it can from no other kind. The cups
were carved by an Indian woman, who used only a pen-knife, and she has
executed the coat of arms of Nicarague, a likeness of the American
Eagle, pictures of churches, and a view of a volcano with wonderful
skill. Another good part of the present is a large amount of fresh and
genuine chocolate made in Rivas for the express purpose of a presentation to Old Block.
NI February 4, 1873: A. Delano speaks on mines in mining review.
NI February 19, 1873: Column by A. Delano "Is GV played out?"
NI April 17, 1873: Old Block struck ledge on New York Hill.
NI April. 19, 1873: Editorial Old Block on the mines.
NI August 29, 1873: A. Delano married to Miss Maria Harmon of
Truckee.
NI March 10, 1874 p3cl: New York Hill. Alonzo Delano, the
banker at Grass Valley, same time since bought at Sheriff's sale, the
mining property known as New York Hill. The mine has been a very
productive one, but like many around this city, it failed to ke
remunerative, and of course became involved and was allowed to be
sold. Mr. Delano, with his usual energy, has prosecuted work on the
mine, and we learn the prospects are good for it again assuming its
place among first class mines. There are many such ledges in the
county that await the enterprise of capitalists to open them, when
they will pay.
Expired in GV September 8, 1878. (See LIB for information on his
varied careers and writings)
