The funeral of the late William Blueford Vineyard took place from his late residence Tuesday at 11 o’clock a. m. The services were conduc‘ed by the Rev. John Williams, pastor of the M. kK. Church, “Indian Springs charge. “For one to live is Christ, and to die is gain,” were the words of inscription that occupied the ‘preacher’s thoughts fora brief space of time. The choir sang several selections from the “Gospel Hymns.” The deceased was born in Kentucky on the first day of January, 1895, and at the time of his death was 92 years, 10 months and 20 days old. A large procession followed the remains to the family plot in’ the Vineyard burying ground, on the Vineyard estate, where the interment was made. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: John Walsh, Samuel Kuster, John M. Jones, Cassius F. Boardman, David N, Jones and Perkins Latayette Hutchinson. Has Lost Her Sight.’ Mrs. Allen, the aged black woman known to most everybody in town us “Aunt Caroline,” has finally become so blind that she cannot find her way around town without a guide. Her sight has been failing for a long time. She says she was born in 1800 and that she was the first “white woman” in this locality, by which latter she means that none but Indian women had ever beheld Deer creek when she got here iu 1848. Fora long time she lived in the vicinity of Rough and Ready where she was married to a colored man named James Kinkead. Twenty or more years ago she conducted a restaurant on lower Commercial street in this city. She has of late years eked out an existence by doing washing and raising chickens.

Ramsay to certain hydraulic mines and dams. The spies report as follows concerntheir oheertatione in Nevada county: “On the 20th we visited the Dudley Bros.’ mine at Union Hill, near Lake City, Nevada county. We found that the mine had closed their last. season’s work with a hydraulic monitor, which stands now in position for work, and. the banks indicate that they dida great deal of damage. They have no permit. A little farther on is the Paine Bros.’ mine, They have no permit, but we found that they moved a large amount . of bank last season after the watchmen were laid off. A little further on is the Howlett Bros.’ mine. They have a permit to work, on rather a small scale having a three and one-half inch monitor and a hard bank to work. Their dam is i in a canyon ‘below their mine, and shows that they take care of their tailings fairly well. “The Dudleys and Paines have very easy banks to work, and their monitors are about five inches. . These three mines evidently got water from the Bloomfield Company with which to make a late run. Of course there was nothing doing while we were there. “We took dinner at Columbia Hid), then visited the gravel dam in Buteka Lake excavation, commonly known as Bigelow dam. This mine did not work behind this dam during the spring or summer of 98. It is standing all right, and will hold the tailings, if no more work is done behind it. We then visited the Hustler mine, and found that they were raising their dam and preparing for more work; which means more trickery toward the valley if our experience with them in the past isan index to the future. “Thence to San Juan for the night, On the 21st we drove to Sweetland and visited the dams in Sweetland Creek. The large gravel and brush dam, or lower dam, is entirely full up to the spillway with a pond of water standing in’ the middle of the settling pool. They have closed up the tunnel which! ran under the dam by hauling grave} into it from the lower end. At intervals above this dam are three: other large brush and pole dams, filled with tailings to the height of from ten to thirteen feet each above the tailings below them. The main dam is filled to the height of some Sixty or seventy feet. The distance from the lower dam to the upper end of the tailings in that canyon must be three-quarters of a mile, and the tailings on top will average in width 250 feet; thus, you will see that the quantity of tailing settled in this canyon is something enormous, and the dams will as surely go out as the passing of a few years will permit. This is the creek where the former dams of this campany have been failures, and which carried in extra heavy rains 10,000 inches of water. “Thence to French Corral, where we visited the dam or settling pond of the two mines, one called Hall & French mine and the other Eckman & Moulton mine; and their tailings are well settled in an old excavation. : “We then drove tothe Anthony House for dinner and from there home No mining was béing done at.any of these mines that we visited for lack of water. “I will have other parts of the mining territory covered by the watchmen as soon as possible, as itis necessary to get over this country before the storms, in order to know where to go to look for the mines in time of storms. “There are several mines prepared to make us trouble this winter; some with permits and some without.” The report states that. in Plumas county the debris dam ofJames O’Brien, in Spanish Creek, near Spanish Ranch '—from behind which a hydraulic mine has been run for several seasons—permits the fine tailings to go through the openings between the logs. A similar, report is made of a dam Hill Mine, east of Spanish Ranch, which has not been worked for a year or so. . The report declares that a short distance east of the above point are a couple of small dams from’ behind which one Jacks operates a monitor— and that these dams will not stop onetenth of the tailings. The PJumas Imperial dam is reported as O. K., although complaint is made that the operations bebind this dam were carried on too long last season: At Onion Valley, William Reese is making preparations to hydranlic. He has no perm#, and evidently does not intend to ask for any. Bowman’s dams in Pour Man’s Creek, several miles south of Onion Valley, permit the tailings to pass through. The dam of Carmichael & Corbett, in Onion Valley Creek, has large holes through which the tailings can pass. The dam itself will probably be destroyed in/a heavy storm, aud at any rate, will go out by decay in a few years.

Wednesday’s Downieville Enterprise says: Father Deencsy was called to Forest Sunday night to visit Mrs. McNaughoon who is very ill at that place. Peter Limperich came home: for the winter from Hog Canyon Monday. He reports 15 inches of snow at his cabin, also the tracks of bear, deer and a wolf on the trail. The storm that began last Friday night made a slight rise in the river but it fell again almost to the same level as before. It stormed again Monday night and the sourrounding mountains are covered with snow. . The recent rise in the river carried away the wing dam at the head of the flame of Black, Wilcox and Ray at *! Snake Bar so that when the water fell it left their flame without sufficient } water to-run the pump and their mine filled up with water. With this issue the firm of Downer,. Davis & Co. will have published its last Enterprise and given over its future management to W. R. Sharkey and George M. Yore who have purchased the business. We have contended with a great mauy difficulties that we have not inflicted upon the public. We-bave fearlessly defended the right and eschewed the wrong and have no apology to make. With a reasonable support from the public, we gee no reason why the new firm cannot successfully carry on the business. Richard Sharkey died at his home in Sierra City yesterday (Tuesday) morning after a short illness. His health had been such lately that when he was taken sick his death was not unexpected: Mr. Sharkey was born in Ireland about sixty-nine years ago and had almost reached the limit of three score and ten. He came to this country in his young days, settling in New York where he worked at his trade of shoemaking until the breaking out of the Civil War when he enlisted in. the Union army and saw a good deal of service. After the war he came to Sierra City. He leaves a wife and large famiiy to mourn his loss,;among whom is Wm. R. Sharkey of the Haterprise. + 00 The Miners Can Stand It. According to the illustrations in the city papers the Miners Convention is a convocation of clowns. Every member of it who is pictured is set forth in ridicule. Of course, the Miners Convention is not a humorous gathering, but one composed of serious and earnest men, and why every paper should consider it proper to carieature them we do not attempt to understand. Possibly the bluff misers themselves do not care, taking everything in good nature after the hearty California way; but there are doubtless others at a distance not able to understand the humor, and who will form conclusions as to the taste and propriety: of it.— Alameda Argus. éich Cold . _ Easily ? .

Cahill of Sierra county, phekn of a sensational disappearance and possible murder that is just now. creating much excitment at Forint PRY and vicinity. : Mr. Cahill says that abant Cctobér first a young man with two males one of which he rode while he used the other ‘as a pack'animal; stopped for the night at the Plum Valiéy House eight miles this side of Forest City. He told George. Ww. Mohler, the landlord, that he was going to Jim‘ Crow Canyon, a rough aud uninhabited district above Forest City, to prospect some tailings and would probably spend . the dantged there: 5 Before starting in the foratig he paid his bill from*a well filed purse and also paid for two boxes of apples which Mr. Mohler was to leave at the storé in Forest City for him, and which he would get when he came to the store became located. Some time after his departuvé from Plum Valley one of the mules returned and Mr. Mohler recognizing it, turned it into his field to await the owner’s call, which he » expected daily. ys multiplied intd weeks but still the owner came not. Mohler began. to-worry. and determined to make inquiry about him. He went to Forest City and ascertainwere still there and uncalled for. He then determined to try to find his former gnest and patron, and after making inquiry as to the location of any prospect such as the young manhad mentioned, he was directed to the old Nebraska mine eight miles above town as the most probable location. Taking Mr. Cahill with him Mohler went to the Nebraska claim. _ Entering an old cabin they found the outfit of the man they songht, but the man was missing, and the appearances of the premises led to the conclusion that he had not spent more than a single night there. Search was made for him in the vicinity but no trace was discovered. They also searched his effects for means of identification but without. avail. Two smalland well preserved Bibles were among hiseffects. Strangely, Mr. Mohler had not learned his name. The only thing that could be: considered a possible clue was the word, “Drescher” found on the leaf of the remnaht of an an oJd book, on which was found a little rhyme expressing a religious sentiment. On Sunday morning last a searching party went out from Forest City ont the snow was too deep to admit of much of a hunt, and the party returned to town again inthe evening bringing’ such of the effects as were nct destroyed by rats, squirrels, etc. These effects were deposited with Judge Campbell. Other searching . parties will go out when the snow sufficiently disappears. The TRANscaipt’s informant thinks it very likely that the prospector was followed into the canyon and murdered for his money. FOR SALE. House, Lot and Barn, On Piety.

The dam itself will probably be destroyed in/a heavy storm, aud at any rate, will go out by decay in a few years.

Wednesday’s Downieville Enterprise says: Father Deencsy was called to Forest Sunday night to visit Mrs. McNaughoon who is very ill at that place. Peter Limperich came home: for the winter from Hog Canyon Monday. He reports 15 inches of snow at his cabin, also the tracks of bear, deer and a wolf on the trail. The storm that began last Friday night made a slight rise in the river but it fell again almost to the same level as before. It stormed again Monday night and the sourrounding mountains are covered with snow. . The recent rise in the river carried away the wing dam at the head of the flame of Black, Wilcox and Ray at *! Snake Bar so that when the water fell it left their flame without sufficient } water to-run the pump and their mine filled up with water. With this issue the firm of Downer,. Davis & Co. will have published its last Enterprise and given over its future management to W. R. Sharkey and George M. Yore who have purchased the business. We have contended with a great mauy difficulties that we have not inflicted upon the public. We-bave fearlessly defended the right and eschewed the wrong and have no apology to make. With a

reasonable support from the public, we gee no reason why the new firm cannot successfully carry on the business. Richard Sharkey died at his home in Sierra City yesterday (Tuesday) morning after a short illness. His health had been such lately that when he was taken sick his death was not unexpected: Mr. Sharkey was born in Ireland about sixty-nine years ago and had almost reached the limit of three score and ten. He came to this country in his young days, settling in New York where he worked at his trade of shoemaking until the breaking out of the Civil War when he enlisted in. the Union army and saw a good deal of service. After the war he came to Sierra City. He leaves a wife and large famiiy to mourn his loss,;among whom is Wm. R. Sharkey of the Haterprise. + 00 The Miners Can Stand It. According to the illustrations in the city papers the Miners Convention is a convocation of clowns. Every member of it who is pictured is set forth in ridicule. Of course, the Miners Convention is not a humorous gathering, but one composed of serious and earnest men, and why every paper should consider it proper to carieature them we do not attempt to understand. Possibly the bluff misers themselves do not care, taking everything in good nature after the hearty California way; but there are doubtless others at a distance not able to understand the humor, and who will form conclusions as to the taste and propriety: of it.— Alameda Argus. éich Cold . _ Easily ? .

Cahill of Sierra county, phekn of a sensational disappearance and possible murder that is just now. creating much excitment at Forint PRY and vicinity. : Mr. Cahill says that abant Cctobér first a young man with two males one of which he rode while he used the other ‘as a pack'animal; stopped for the night at the Plum Valiéy House eight miles this side of Forest City. He told George. Ww. Mohler, the landlord, that he was going to Jim‘ Crow Canyon, a rough aud uninhabited district above Forest City, to prospect some tailings and would probably spend . the dantged there: 5 Before starting in the foratig he paid his bill from*a well filed purse and also paid for two boxes of apples which Mr. Mohler was to leave at the storé in Forest City for him, and which he would get when he came to the store became located. Some time after his departuvé from Plum Valley one of the mules returned and Mr. Mohler recognizing it, turned it into his field to await the owner’s call, which he » expected daily. ys multiplied intd weeks but still the owner came not. Mohler began. to-worry. and determined to make inquiry about him. He went to Forest City and ascertainwere still there and uncalled for. He then determined to try to find his former gnest and patron, and after making inquiry as to the location of any prospect such as the young manhad mentioned, he was directed to the old Nebraska mine eight miles above town as the most probable location. Taking Mr. Cahill with him Mohler went to the Nebraska claim. _ Entering an old cabin they found the outfit of the man they songht, but the man was missing, and the appearances of the premises led to the conclusion that he had not spent more than a single night there. Search was made for him in the vicinity but no trace was discovered. They also searched his effects for means of identification but without. avail. Two smalland well preserved Bibles were among hiseffects. Strangely, Mr. Mohler had not learned his name. The only thing that could be: considered a possible clue was the word, “Drescher” found on the leaf of the remnaht of an an oJd book, on which was found a little rhyme expressing a religious sentiment. On Sunday morning last a searching party went out from Forest City ont the snow was too deep to admit of much of a hunt, and the party returned to town again inthe evening bringing’ such of the effects as were nct destroyed by rats, squirrels, etc. These effects were deposited with Judge Campbell. Other searching . parties will go out when the snow sufficiently disappears. The TRANscaipt’s informant thinks it very likely that the prospector was followed into the canyon and murdered for his money. FOR SALE. House, Lot and Barn, On Piety.
