M. L. Jr. These chapg who sit down to a typewriter every day and pound out a column of flashes for have my sincere admiration. Doing the same thing twice a week gives me the willies. You sit down to the blank page and review your thoughts, struck dumb and paralyzed with amazement at how dull they are, Then finally you get your fingers working on the typewriter in “the meager hope it will stimulate your brain. The best thing to do is to ZOx “mext door to the Success Cafe and tdrink a cup of steaming aromatic coffee. Good-bye for now, readers. You can git back off the edge of your chairs, readers. I’m back. from my visit to the cafe without any lgihteninge flash except “When in doubt eat Ham and Eggs” and an impression that the red-headed waitress there has one of _ the smiles in town. nicest. Letting Faithful Reader sweat out the composition of a column with me gives me a lot of satisfaction and al60 brings to mind that other columnists suffer the same miseries. For instance: In today’s ‘iNevada City 50 and 75 years ago,’ is an item from an ancient copy of a Nevada County paper, with reference to the Edito of ihe Nevada Transcript, itual predecessor. It_states that that! editor objected to be called a mandarin though ‘he is very nearly one.” He is certainly a “me-anderin’’ around the county looking for office of district attorney.” our spir-. So you can gee other editors have . their trials and have had, since the . rootin’«tootin’ days of the gold rush. i . At this writing, Lloyd Penrose is Making a good recovery from his bout with the bees. Lloyd was out on a hillside off the Downieville Highway last week, gathering madrone branches as decorations for the Schreiber-Sharpe wedding, when he was set upon by a horde of swarming hornets. There were hundreds of them—so many that he pulled them off in handfuls. He drove home in great pain and then went at once to the hospital where ice packs were administered. He’s home now and feeling much better, though still a bit the worse for wear. No matter which direction I look, I can’t see anythjng funny about this deal, but at the same time I can’t refrain from remarking that it was a pretty sertous -beesiness. There will be some big political doings in Grasg Valley at this time mext week and who am I to let the cat out of the bag early? Watch your favorite newspaper one I do mean the Nugget. Here’s a secret there’s no use trying to keep any longer. The Nugget is proud to admit that it has two of the best printers in this pant of the country. George Richards, a veteran of the first World War and a veteran of many decades of printing, and Kenneth Finch, who also has a number of well-spent years in printing to his credit. These two men are both all-around printers who can do things _ ‘with type and paper that you’d expect of an artist with oil paints. They’re the men who enable the Nugget to boast ‘No job too big or too small.’”’ They’re the reason why this little shop is capable of turning out anything from the finest job in four colors to the simplest handbill. Elsewhere in this edition you’ll see examples of their excellent handiwork and fine craftsmanship. They are assisted in this special ‘edition by another fine printer, John Ruano.

From Bowman’s dam it is but six miles as the crow, flies, but it would probaibly tax the muscles of an athlete to follow up the canyon in a day along a course that has been so denuded by glacial action that it is barren of tim'ber. The drainage area of Canyon Creek above the Arctic is over 40 square miles and the headwaters extend up to both French and Jackson Lakes affording an expansive water runoff which the early miners did not neglect to use. In 1879 the first, in 1872 the North Bloomfield Com-. pany built from it same 39 miles of canal which would carry 2800 inches of water to their gravel banks at North Bloomfield, On Jurie 30th, 1927 the gates.of the new million dollar dam of the Nevada Irrigation District opened to carry water to Lake pan tine in Placer County. There are eight known veins on the Arctic, none of which has been developed to any extent, although the Cosmopolitan, onthe west, has been worked for some 600 feet and has yielded several hundred tons of $18 ore. In 1912 the main Arctic tunnel was etarted from Canyon Creek and ‘advanced straight into the hill for 1017 feet where it intercepted what was supposed to be the main vein and a drift was driven along the vein for 1200 feet south. ‘Some doubt has arisen however as to whether the vein so followed is the same vein as that exposed in the Kohler tunnel above, which shows values of: from $17 to $85 per ton lby the writer’s sampling. Mr. Cadigan’s development in the Kohler tunnel, in which he proposes not only to drift ‘but also to sink on the pay shoot, will determine definitely the position of the vein at the creek level. The Arctic is one of the very few mines which is operated by its own power developed within its own borders. The abrupt drop of Canyon (Creek makes it possible to obtain a fall of 237 feet with less than 900 feet of flume.
