Nevapa City Dairy TRANSCRIPT NAT P. BROWN, Proprietor. & FRED EH. BROWN, Manager. ee TERMS OF SUBSORIPTION $6 Per Year . By Carrier, Delivered toany part of the oity. 12 1<2c Per Week By Men, Oc enna nnn nee Issued. Every Evening, Sundays Excepted, at Nevada City THURSDAY.. ss ONLY September 17, 1903 TEMPORARY. Present Suspension of Operations al the Will Probably Soon Be Followed By Work on alarger Scale. wy HE temporary closing down of the.Champion mine and the throwing out of employment of one hundred and twenty-five miners, for the time being, is just “ducks” for the croakers who are always on hand to predict.that this city and mining district is going to the demnition bow-wows. As in many instances heretofore; they will soon find out that their predictions will not materialize into fact and renewed, activity and increased prosperity will compel them to take a back seat and quit their “knocking.” The Champion mines are among the best properties in this district'and a mint of gold lies in them that only. awaits the situation is The mines have reached a stage where it will require a large expenditure of money to develop them, and as;soon as the company can make satisfactory arrangements work will be resumed on probably a larger scale than ever the miner’s pick to uncover. The fact of simply this. before. To predict that the famous Champion company has suspended work permanently and abandoned the miue is the veriest kind of nonsense to promulgate. The wealth is known to be there and it is only a question of time when the Some men who have little if any backbone, have had cold chills and have become alarmed over this temporary shut-down when really there is not a particle of cause for their excited sus— Nevada City will experience its greatest activity will prevail in those quarters. picions of a black future. ups and downs, as is the common lot of all mining towns but'no more solid foundation for valuable and permanent mines can be found anywhere in the world than .in and around this section of country. The mines of this vicinity will continue to pour-its golden treasure into the commercial avenues of the world long after the present generation has ceased to exist, and when the present uncalled-for scare has passed away, as it surely will very soon, then prosperity and confidence will exist universally and continue until some other bugaboo is thrown into the camp. No sensible man of sound judgment should become panic-stricken simply because the Champion or any other mine temporarily closes down. in fact, these are incidents occasionally looked for in every mining community. It is time enough to feel despondent and pessimistic when the dismantling of a big mine has been commenced. The Champion scare is causing considerable discomfort in a great many ways and affects money and business mat~ ters very seriously. Many people who owe debts are holding on to their coin, closing up their purses with an iron grip, So to speak, and :letting the payment of their debts go by until the sunshine of prosperity again returns—which it surely willin a short time. But this. custom of holding money tight and close under such unwarranted circumstances only reacts on the individuals pursuing this policy and helps to make matters worse for themselves as well as for their creditors and the community in generally. The unstinted or liberal use of money and the prompt payment of bills always begets confidence. There are today more men employed in mines outside of of the Deer Creek properties than at any time in years, and when the Champion resumes work, as it surely will, and the Murchie and other mines where great preparatory work is now in progress, Nevada City will be able to boast of having more miners employed than at any time in its history. Ten times blacker clouds of mining depression have vise ited this city in years gone by, when there seemed to be no sunlight of prosperity at all, yet it came in good time and the croakers were silenced, as they will be again before many months have rolled by. ‘There is virtually nothing whatever to cause despondency or a panic in this section, for when it comes to a show-down this district’s annual output of bullion will not be far from that of previous years. The future outlook of this section is. exceedingly bright and when we reflect upon the fact that today there are more quartz mines being worked than at any time in the history of this mining} district, and many mines that have not beeh worked for more than’half a-century until now are yielding handsomely, (two remarkably well—the old Pennsylvania and the Murchie) truly the sentiment that is prevailing has no good foundation and should be dispelled, The sooner people come to this truthful conclusion and endorse the right view of the matter, the better it will be for their own happiness and peace of mind 48 well as those around us, and the sooner will implicit confidence return and increased prosperity prevail to delight and satisfy all, As an old adage goes: “Don’t shake hands with the Devil until you meet him,” “TWO bones: A Resume of News From That Lively Town. From Wednesday's Republican, \ As the result of his anxiety to make money faster than the law allows a certain bartender ina well known Front street saloon is minus his job today. Oal. Lowell, who has made bis home in Truckee for many years and who has many friends here, came to town from the Summit early this week, ‘had quite a eum of money in his possession and for safe-keeping placed $100 in possession. of the bartender mentioned. That evening the old man decided to return to the Sammit, The bartender, to be obliging (?), went with the man and purchased his ticket, after which he handed him his money. The coin was done up in a “neat package,” another striking evidence of friendship (?). Mr. Lowell, however, decided to count the coin and in doing 80 discovered that it was $20 short. This caused him to change his mind about leaving town; instead he went back and accused the bartender of robbing him, The fellow grew indignant at first, bat as the old man insisted upon hie rights, the mixologist became nervous and in an injared tone said: ‘Well, rather than bave you accase me of robbing you I will pay you the money out of my own funde,” With that be returned the twenty dollars belonging to Mr. Lowell. Fortunately there wore several witnesses; in the saloon at the time who reported the incident to the officers and also to the proprietor of the saloon. The proprietor promptly discharged the bartender, who, by the way, has always been looked upon as a crook, Oonstable.

An extensive territory has been burned over, with prospects of still further devastation. The forest fire in the Wachington district is now between Alpha and Omega and roaring furiously with no sigosof abatement. Much irreparable damage has already been done to mining timbers, the Giant King mine in that district suffering considerably in this respect.

The crew of the ferry steamer Tiburon was also called out. The trouble was all occasioned from the fact that one, A. D. McDonald, was discharged by the corporation, because of his affiliation with the Union. All the shop men and freight handlers remained loyal and immediately walked out. The Union men claim that they will completely tie up the entire system, The railroad officials say the strike will not last long. “CUNDERLANY RESINS Lonpon, September 27—Coloniai Secretary Chamberlain has decided to resign from the Cabinet.
