Another pioneer citizen has taken his departure from among us after many years of useful public life in our community to join the many of his pioneer comrades who have preceded him to the Golden Shore. . After a prolonged illness, Frank Power, the veteran schoolteacher and educator, passed peacefully to his rest, at about 1 o’clock this morning, at the family residence on Grove street. He had been seriously ill for some time and owing to his advanced age and the serious nature of his_ illness his death was not unexpected, although deeply regretted by his many friends. Frank Power was born of Quaker parentage at Farmington, Michigan, and would have reached the! age of three score years and ten if he had lived until the 31st day of this month. His early life was spent on a farm, where his parents had settled at the early period when Michigan was known as a frontier State.

He then came to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama and settled in Nevada City, where he accepted a position in our public schools. He filled the position of principal of the schools here for some fourteen years, taught at San Juan a year, and was principal of the high schools of Grass Valley for about five years. In 1881 he resumed the practice of law at this city, in which, together with the insurance business, he was engaged in up toa few months ago.

N ANOTHER COLUMN we publish a press dispatch which anneunces that the nineteen men who participated in the Modoc county lynching last May have been liberated, as there séems to be no means within the bounds of the law whereby these lynchers can be convicted of their heinous crime. It is conceded to be a useless effort to try anymore of the prisoners in Modoc county as it is a foregone conclusion that it would be a waste of time and moneyand result in a disgraceful farce as did the trial of the Dep uty Constable, who was one of the culprits. Attorney-General Ford and his deputies who have been working industriously on the case in behalf of the State are unable to find any law that would uphold a change of venue and permit of the trial of the lynchers in another county, or, in fact, that would justify further prosecution in the lynching cases. The _ futility of securing a jury of unbiased or competent men in Modoc county is shown by the fact that out of the county’s population of 5000 there is an eligible jury list of less than 300, and one hundred of these were drawn on at the trial ot the Deputy Constable, and it is perfectly apparent to those who have a knowledge of the situation that the remaining . eligible jurors have become more or less. prejudiced and influenced by interchanging of opinions and by the information coming to them through other sources since the tragedy occurred. As the matter stands, Attorney-General Ford has consented to the dismissal of the lynchers from custody, but has suggested remedial statutes to Governor Gage, where the case will rest until the Legislature convenes. In order to apply the remedies proposed, that of summoning of trial jurors from adjacent counties or the transfer of the place of trial to another county on motion of the prosecution, it will be necessary forthe Legislature to: propose a constitutional amendment embodying either or both methods and to submit the same to the people for adoption or rejec— tion. The heinousness of the Modoc lynching it seems that a special session of the Legislature might be warrantably called and such constitutional amendment submitted: to the people to be voted upon at the general election to be held in November next. Although the punishment of the Modoc lynchers may. be temporarily thwarted and delayed, it is the unanimous sentiment of the law-abiding citizens\ of this State that, all parties concerned in the crime should sooner or later be -given their just deserts as a warning to others. their prospects are very encouraging. Messrs. Robinson and Belmore of this place have been prospecting for some time past a large quartz ledge located above the chute on the North Bloomfield” ditch. The ledge looks well, and it prospects better than it looke. In the spring when the snow melts off they intend to develop it sufficiently to test its real value. There are several. other quartz ledges in this vicinity that will be thoroughly prospected in the coming spring. The northern and eastern part of Nevada county is streaked with quartz ledges running north and south. When all, or a part of them, are discovered and developed some will undoubtedly prove.to be rich bonanzas. : CuyARLEs MOE vey. School Girt Chase Ny a Villain, Fer some little time there has been some miserable wretch who, disguised with a black mack, has been making & practice of chasing and frightening young girls in the neighborhood of Canada Hill while they are going to and returning from school. If the guilty party is detected he ie liable to be treatod to a coat of tar and feathers, for patience has ceased to be a virtue with the parents of children residing in that neighborhood. This merning the miscreant stopped the young daughter of. Mr. Cooley of Gold Flat, who returned home and notifled ber father. Mr. Cooley apprised the officers of. the fact, and his daughter who thinks she could identify the man, Cameto town and went around the streets with Marshal Shearer in the hopes of pointing out the guilty party to the officer. No arrests have been made yet, however. “A Large Fire. Cuicaco, March 17 — Twenty-four families’ eccupying the St, Catherine flats at Fortieth Street and—Grand Boulevard, were driven from the building by fire early today. A frigid wind was blowing and the firemen had to work vigorously to confine the flames to St. Catherines. The tenants had barely time to escape, and shivered in the cold until neighbors were aroused and gave them shelter. Nearly all the household goods and personal effects were lost. William Scanlan, a policemau, fell from a third story window and broke one of his legs. George Patton, one of the tenants, proved bhimself a hero. Three women were penned in on the third floor. Patton had reached them before the fiames blocked the stairway. He made a rope of bed sheets and let thé women down the elevator sbaft by means of it. He then fastened it and attempted to slide down after them. The makeshift rope gave way, however, and he sustaiveda broken ankle. Firemen rescued h'm. The total loss was $60,('00. Al the Niagara Mine. The ledge at the Niagara®° mine in Willow Valley is well defined, and some very good rock is being taken out. Five men are employed, and sinking im the shaft is going right along. The owners of the Niagara feel very sanguine as te its future, L. Garwood and S,and L. Erskine were coming home after their day’s labor at a gravel mine near Mike Lynch’s ranch, above the Reddik mine when one of the gentlemen pick up a piece of float rock, which proved to centain much free gold, The next morning the party began to look around the place where the rock was found, which ia about half way between the ranch and the Reddik, and were soon rewarded by finding a ledge from which in all probability the specimen came. This was traced to Little Rock Orcek, where it looked go promising that work was commenced on it. It continued to grow better every day and now the gentleman are satisfied that they have made a very important strike as the rock shows much free gold and yields high-grade sulphurets. Out of one small pocket $50 worth of gold was obtained. The ledge gives every indication of permanancy and it is to be hoped that it will continue to produce well. + 2@e-+ Gun Club Meeting.

The exact amount ie not known at this writing, but it is thought that it was over seventy dollars, From what can be learned of this incident in the half world, it seems that the piano player has been placing small sums on. deposit for “his lady friend.” Last evening when the inmates of the-Palace were at supper the ‘musical man took advantage of the opportunity to ransack the woman’s bedroom.

School Girt Chase Ny a Villain, Fer some little time there has been some miserable wretch who, disguised with a black mack, has been making & practice of chasing and frightening young girls in the neighborhood of Canada Hill while they are going to and returning from school. If the guilty party is detected he ie liable to be treatod to a coat of tar and feathers, for patience has ceased to be a virtue with the parents of children residing in that neighborhood. This merning the miscreant stopped the young daughter of. Mr. Cooley of Gold Flat, who returned home and notifled ber father. Mr. Cooley apprised the officers of. the fact, and his daughter who thinks she could identify the man, Cameto town and went around the streets with Marshal Shearer in the hopes of pointing out the guilty party to the officer. No arrests have been made yet, however. “A Large Fire. Cuicaco, March 17 — Twenty-four families’ eccupying the St, Catherine flats at Fortieth Street and—Grand Boulevard, were driven from the building by fire early today. A frigid wind was blowing and the firemen had to work vigorously to confine the flames to St. Catherines. The tenants had barely time to escape, and shivered in the cold until neighbors were aroused and gave them shelter. Nearly all the household goods and personal effects were lost. William Scanlan, a policemau, fell from a third story window and broke one of his legs. George Patton, one of the tenants, proved bhimself a hero. Three women were penned in on the third floor. Patton had reached them before the fiames blocked the stairway. He made a rope of bed sheets and let thé women down the elevator sbaft by means of it. He then fastened it and attempted to slide down after them. The makeshift rope gave way, however, and he sustaiveda broken ankle. Firemen rescued h'm. The total loss was $60,('00. Al the Niagara Mine. The ledge at the Niagara®° mine in Willow Valley is well defined, and some very good rock is being taken out. Five men are employed, and sinking im the shaft is going right along. The owners of the Niagara feel very sanguine as te its future, L. Garwood and S,and L. Erskine were coming home after their day’s labor at a gravel mine near Mike Lynch’s ranch, above the Reddik mine when one of the gentlemen pick up a piece of float rock, which proved to centain much free gold, The next morning the party began to look around the place where the rock was found, which ia about half way between the ranch and the Reddik, and were soon rewarded by finding a ledge from which in all probability the specimen came. This was traced to Little Rock Orcek, where it looked go promising that work was commenced on it. It continued to grow better every day and now the gentleman are satisfied that they have made a very important strike as the rock shows much free gold and yields high-grade sulphurets. Out of one small pocket $50 worth of gold was obtained. The ledge gives every indication of permanancy and it is to be hoped that it will continue to produce well. + 2@e-+ Gun Club Meeting.
