j ee a FHDAY, DEC. 29, 1983 ‘Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36 Printed and PubA Legal Newspaper, as defined’ by -statute. : lished at Nevada City. @. M. LEETE and C. B. ANDERSON........., :..Publishers Published semi-weekly, Menday and iFriday, at Nevada City, Cal-. ifornia, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, umder Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBCRIPTION RATES i One year, NEVADA CITY, = CALIFORNIA = > = heen — SS J ‘ ONE STEP FORWARD te Next Spring there will be a great splashing in*the. new municipal. swimming. pool in:the.park which thecity fathers . . have just purchased, Ten acres of the very best bit of mountain scenery original timber, native shrubs and boulder strewn stream, have been acquired for the city’s very own to have and to hold as long as Nevada City exists. Our boys and girls will no longer find it: necessary to trek miles for a good swim in unsafe waters. Picnickers will find one of the most lovely spots in the mountains in which to spread their cloths and viands. 0 This a step forward. Three times at the polls the people ef this city resolutely voted for the swimming pool, the last time, despite the fact that they were offered a reduction of 30 cents per hundred in their tax rate. . The next step forward-should-be a new grammar school buildingand a gymnasium-auditorium for the high school. _ The other day, discussing the subject, we referred to the number of school children in the high and grammar schools as “more than 500." As a matter of fact there are nearly 600 children in the two schools. ‘ Fhe younger:children, in the grammar schools need a safe, sanitary:.and modern school building. If anyone doubts this vital need, let them ask any member of the school board. The high school students, in order to be as well equipped as 99 per cent of the high school children throughout California, should have a gymnasium aud“ytorium. Since the progressive citizens of Nevada City, have turned down a proposal to save taxes in: order to provide their children with a swimming pool, who shall say that they would refuse a bond issue to improve their: schools > PLUMBAGO DEVELOPES _V.

SMALL PROFIT IN SMALL GOLD After several queries in regard to a recent letter signed the ‘‘Small j Gold Miner’ that appeared in the Nevada City Nugget a few days ago, 1a Nugget reporter has been given a specific instance as an example. A shipment of 8.98 ounces of gold was purchased over the period of a week andthe -prices ranged from $25,00 to $26.00 according to how clean the gold dust and nuggets were. When the gold buyers gold was melted at the mint there was i loss of over one half ounce or-between $12.00 and $13.00 on the shipment. He was sent a check for $251.24 and after deducting the insurance and shipping charges of $1.24 he had $250.00 clear. This 8.98 ounces “prought him $250, or $27.83 an ‘ounce clear. On that shipment he cleared from $2.83 'lto $1.83 an ounce ! but from this le also had to pay his office -rent, license fee and other overhead expense. Gold buyers that. have small gro.cery stores and take the gold dust and’ nuggets in trade, this buyer states, can afford to pay a higher ipricé as they also make a profit on their grocery sales. One sniper, who had been selling to a gold buyer, made a shipment of three ounces to the mint and realiz'ed about $27.00 an ounce. He is now selling to the gold -buyer at $25.00 and $26.00 an ounce, as he i realizes the gold buyer is paying hin nearly as much as he received at the mint with no waiting and no shipp-; ing expense. lhe was . under .the . would get the world market price, ; and now he relizes the world price is ! for absolutely pure gold or 1.060 fine. locality sruns about 850 fine. ‘STATE TREASURER IS TESTING SCOTT CLAIMS son of Sacramento, is prospecting the Scott. gravel property; near Poker .
