In the ball game at French Corral yesterday afternoon between the Colts of this city anti a picked nine made up of the French Corrals and the Californias of North San Juan, George Coffee who has been pitching regularly for the latter club broke his right arm while delivering a ball in the last half of the third inning. The bone snapped off between the elbow and the shoulder, and it went with a sound like a pistol shot. The game then stood five to four in favor of.the Colts, but as the Ridge nine had no other pitcher there was no more playing. : On Saturday night the French Corral boys gave a ball at the schoolhouse in honor of the Colts, and a great crowd was there from along the Ridge. Most of the people stayed over to see the ball game next afternoon, making a large attendance of spectators. At Watt Park yesterday , afternoon the Young Intrepids of Marysville were defeated by the Monarchs by a score of 18 to2. The Marysville nine was “powerful weak,” and the Monarchs had an easy task snowing it under. At Gridley yesterday the Pioneers (formerly known as the Smiths) were defeated by the club at that place by a score of 8to2. At the fifth inning the score stood 2 to 0, the Pioneers having the best of it. Pitcher Dankley’s arm gave ont in that inning and the Gridleys got in five runs to their credit. The Sandhill Cranes, an Indian ball club, was defeated yesterday by the Blue Tents. Score, 25 to 19. NEVADA CITY MINE. Likelthood of a Strong Syndicate Soon Starting Work On It. There is a strong probability that work will soon be resumed upon the ‘Nevada City mine, which was for years one of the most prominent producers of this district. Robert Mein of Oakland, who was born here and left some years ago with his father since which -time he has attained prominence as a :mining man, is daily expecting telegraphic instructions to take charge of ;the property in the interest of the Lon-don Exploration company and another eombination of capitalists who have ween jointly negotiating for it. Thomas Mein is expected home next month from London where he has been arranging the details of this and other enterprises. . THE GASTON RIDGE MINE. Successful Revival of a Valuable Old Quartz Claim. The success attained at the Gaston Ridge, near Graniteville, has given a new. impetus to mining in that section. This property only a few years ago was abandoned at a depth of 219 feet. It had a pay chute over 1000 feet long, and produced nearly $600,000. The present company began a prospect tunnel two years ago and at about. 1900 feet they bave a strong ore body at a depth of? 650 feet. They have. 1800 tons of ore on the dump. The company is now moving the mill and boarding house down into the canyon, and adding a rock breaker and concentrators’to their machinery. Mr. Harmon expects to ; have the plant in operation by the 15th .of October. ‘ Money For the Miners. Ai Grass Vulley today George Mainjourt started out to solicit subscriptions to the Miners Association fund. The anuual meeting takes place in this city ou Tharsday next, and Mr. Mainhart @xpects to then have quite a sum to turn over to the proper officers. Grass Vulley’s citizens have never failed yet to contribute their share towards this worthy organization. A Mighty Nimrod. Col, Jobn Heyer is keeping up his record asthe mightiest hunter in the mountains. Yesterday he laid low aaciher deer, the scene of the fatality being the Heyer ranch on the Rough aud Ready road.

A barrel of fine Cape Cod cranberries bas just been opened at Wolf’s cash “SCRAPPING MUSICIANS, Impresario Shipman and a Pianist. Get Out of Tune, Ernest Shipman, manager of the Hext concert company, who was in this city and Grass Valley a few days ago, had an encounter on C street at Virginia City Saturday afternoon witha Carson pianist named Krall. The Daily Rehas been around Oarson securing names toa contract guaranteeing his would play in that town. Krall’s name was affixed to the contract. and he wanted Shipman to take it off, claiming that when he signed the contract This Shipman declined to do, and a war of words and motions ensued, ‘during which each combatant seemed to derive an intense satisfaction from shaking his fiiger under his enemy’s nose. This continued until the presence of a large crowd, which waited eagerly for bloody developments, had assembled. One of the two finally summoned up courage to push the other’s nose back a full sixteenth of aninch. Then Shipman agreed to take Krall’s name off the contract and the two separated. The crowd dispersed, greatly disgusted,as the “liars,” “scoundrels,” and other epithets, accompanied by threats to choke the life out of each other, with which the row commenced, had given the spectators high hopes of an interesting scrap. But alas, no blood was spilled to show the crowd whether it was white or red. TIPS FROM TRUCKER. Life in the Ambitious Metropolis of Eastorn Nevada County. Saturday evening’s Republican furnishes the following items: W.E. Price, who has had the management of the Truckee Lumber Company store for the past two years, will sever his connection with the store the first of next month. ‘The latest report from the Grand Victory mine are of the most encouraging kind.

P, BROWN & CO, ~ GRASS VALLEY NEWS, A Sommary of Late News as Told Over the Telephone Today. William Campbell today received « dispatch informing of the death at San Francisco yesterday of Jobn ‘Pryde, who many years ago was employed us a baker at Grass Valley by Mr. Campbell. ¢ Miss Belle Miller of Nevada City is visiting Mrs. Jacob Weissbein of this place. = who have been visiting Grass Valley, have gone to Sacramento to attend the wedding of Miss Hand, daughter of Prof. H.

PROSPECTS OF HARMONY, Au Agreement Between the Mining and Valley Forces Likely, A conference was to have been held Saturday in San Francisco by representatives of the California Miners’ Association and the Anti-Debris Associa. tion on the matter of harmonious cooperation in securing large Oongressional appropriations for the improvement of the rivers of the Sacramento tual benefit of the miners and valley people. Atthe suggestion of Robert T. Devlin of Sacramento the conference was postponed until ufter the publication of the report of the United engineers, who have been long preparing a comprehensive and permanent plan for the improvement of these rivers. Its expected that this. report will be at band in a few weeks. There now seems to be nothing in the way of a complete agreement between the mining and valley interesta_on this’ subject, and the result will bethat larger appropriations will be secured).apart of it going to the improvement of the navigable portions of the streams and a part to the construction of additional . ; dams for the restraining of debris and the further resuscitation of. hydraulic mining. LOCATING MINING CLAIMS A Concise and Correct Interpretation of the New Law. Saturday’s Mining and Scientic Press says: The statement in last week’s issue that “where a mining claim is located in this State after November 2a of this year, it will be possible to do the $50 worth of work required by the California statute and make it a part of the $100 assesment work specified in the Federal statutes, “was an exact statement of fact. The new mining law of this State, which as yet has not been declared unconstitutional, says that $50 worth of work shall be done ona claim within sixty days after location. The Federal statute requires an annual amount of work or improve. :
ments to the extent of $100, the time for which such work begins being the Ist of January next after the date of location. Then, as stated, where a claim is located November 2nd, the locator has until the 3lst of December, 1898, to comply with the requirements of the Federal statute ; and as he has until January 1, 1898, to do the $50 worth of work required by the State statute, he can have such $50 in work or improvements apply on the: $100 required by the national law. 7 An Irish Dividend.
