Jacobs has with characteristic geherosity voluteered to give the use of the Theatre free of charge for the dramatic performance to be given on the 27th instant for the benefit of the electric light fund. The newspapers have agreed to do the printing and advertising without charge. Thus the expenses are reduced to a minimum and several hundred dollars profit will be realized. A Favorite Play Revived. George M. Baker’s ever popular twoact comedy-drama -of ‘‘Down by the Sea,” which is to be produced at the Theatre next Thursday evening in connection with the series of entertainments to be given during the week for the benefit of Trinity Church, will really be worth-seeing.

The Native Daughters of Laurel Parlor are getting along finely with the preparations for the leap year party. They are determined to make it the leading social event of the winter, and as they invariably succeed in their uridertakings there is no danger of a failure this time. The Hall will be elaborately decorated after original designs and the music will*be the best to be had. The ladies will on that evening give the sterner sex some points on gallantry, and the men who are unfortunate enough to officiate as -wall-flowers provided there are any such ornaments will find out how it is themselves. Good Looking Ore. 8. M. Shurtleff brought down from Washington township this week some specimens of ore from various mines there. The Washington has an eightfoot ledge, and the Bluebell’s is fourteen feet thick. The ore in both is of a very Satisfactory grade, the Bluebell showing considerable free gold. " The Yuba mine is said to have never ‘ookéd more encouraging than it does sow. ‘ : The Nevada County Mine. The last monthly clean-up at the Nevada County mine in this city was from a crushing of 25 tons of ore that paid between $41 and $42 a ton. Nine men are employed in the mine, their efforts being largely directed to opening new. ground. The prospects of the mine are very good. A Good Little Mine. Mr. Bonney is getting good results from the quartz ledge in his house lot on Piety Hill, this city.

M. Preston, President of the Citizens Bank of this city. Said Mr. Preston to the TRANSCRIPT reporter yesterday: ‘‘ Yes, the growing of grains and grasses has proven highly profitable to those of our farmers who have engaged in that branch of agriculture. Many of them get from four to five tons of alfalfa and rye grass from the acre at a single cutting, Red clover, buckwheat, orchard grass, buck-rye, mesquit grass, Hungarian millet, golden millet, Egyptian corn and Kafir corn grow rank and healthy and are luxuriant in seed. In suitable localities, with irrigation, these plants are made to yield from three to five tons to the acre at a cutting, and three or four crops a year can be countel on. Rye, oats, wheat and sweet corn grow finely without irrigation on the red lands about this city and Grass Valley. “As to fruit growing,’’ says the speaker, ‘‘we can show still better results. The cost per acrd of cultivating and marketing isless. Everybody who has investigated knows that the fruit raised at this altitude is possessed of much better flavor and better shipping qualities than: that coming-from alower altitude. This is why our foothill fruit has obtained a world-wide reputation for .its excellence. Did you observe the dissplay of fruit at the last District Fair? Did you see those peaches weighing 20 ounces each? I Lknow of one tree from which was shipped two boxes of selected peaches not one of which was less than twelve inches in circumference. The wine and raisin grapes at that Fair were as fine as any to be seen in any part of the State. You doubtless observe that the best apples shown came from altitudes varying from 2,700 to 3,200, while the Bartlett pears from the hills were superior in all respects to the product of the lower lands. raised at an altitude of 3,000 feet above the sea and weighing a quarter of a pound apiece, and by their sides were German and French prunes which for size, flavor and appearance equalled any grown in Europe. “T desire to also remind you of that table in the center of the Pavilion whereon were 30 varieties of apples, 8 varieties of pears and 12 varieties of dried fruits, all from a single orchard. The dried fruits were cured on the place without artificial means. The sun did the work and did it well. “On another table were mammoth and luscious blackberries and strawberries from vines that yield almost perennially—from the early spring crop till the middle of December. fully raised at as great an altitude as 2700 feet, you found figs, olives, persimmons, oranges, lemons, pomegran‘. ates and other semi-tropical products. “Then we had most surprising examples of vegetable growth, such as 70-pound watermelons, stock-beets as large as a barrel, tomatoes of five pounds each, Indian corn 14 feet high, sunflower stalks 16 feet long, hemp 18 feet high, hop vines reaching 50 feet, potatoes which because of their superior size and other qualities bring from a quarter to ahalf a cent a pound more in the market than any other. “As to irrigation, while most soil products thrive better under its influences, many can be profitably grown without it. This remark not only applies to numerous varieties of vegetables and grain, but also to orchards and vineyards. It is a well known fact that Nevada county is the best irrigated county in the State. No other county has such an abundant supply of water or such a complete ditch system for distributing it. “Now aword about our climate,’ continued the gentleman. ‘‘Noother part of the State surpasses us in this respect—in fact we have great advantages over most sections. Our winters are not excessively cold like those experienced by'our northern neighbors, and our summers lack the enervating torridity of the valleys, likewise the fogs of the coast regions. We have no north winds to speak of, no whirlwinds or sandstorms, no miasma, no epidemics. : “Yet with all these advantages w have large areas of fertile lands yet covered with forests and purchasable at from $10 to $20an acre. I can 6nly account for this on the ground that our own people have been slow in educating themselves up to !a proper degree of faith in the capabilities of the county’s soil and climate, and display somewhat of a lack of well directed industry and enterprise in converting these undeveloped resources into ,profitable and progressive industries. What will be the result of our indifference in these respects? Why, that people -from other sections will continue to come here as they have been doing for some time past, and grasp the opportunities that we let slip through our fingere. The tide of immigration in this direction is daily growing stronger, and a very few months hence those who desire good land at' low prices will be compelled to go elsewhere for it. ® “There is one thing, easily done, that the newspapers set us a good example in. I refer to speaking well of the climate and soil of our county, and recommending to visitors its prospects and its people. We should all do these things, an‘ at the same time class with public enemies all those who seek to delay public prosperity by belittling and belieing our county’s lieve Croup, Whooping and Bronchitis.

The Coroner's Inquest. The coroner’s jury in the case of the sudden death of M. Byrne of Grass Valley returned the following verdict: ‘We, the jurors summoned to appear before Wm. Powell, Coroner of Nevada county, at Grass Valley, on the 8th-dayof December, 1887, to inquire into the cause of death of Michael Byrne, Jr., having been duly sworn according to law, and having made such inquisition, after inspecting the body, and hearing the testimony adduced, upon our oaths, each and. all do say, that we find that the deceased was named Michael Byrne, Jr., was a native of Illinois, aged about 48 years, and that he came to his death on the 7th diy of December, 1887, in this county by an overdose of laudanum, taken without suicidal intent.” 0 ee The Grass Valley Postmastership. Suys the Union of yesterday: The death of M. Byrne, Jr., has created a vacancy in the Postmastership of this place, and the general expression yesterday was that his daughter, Miss Florence Byrne, should be appointed to succeed her father. As conducive to this a petition has already been put in circulation, which is receiving the’ signature of the business men without respect to party. Miss Byrne has been in the officé since the commencement of her father’s term, and is entirely familiar with the duties and every way capable to fill the position. The Postoffice Department at Washington has been informed by telegraph of the decease of Mr. Byrne, and that application will be made for the appointment of his daughter. Hurt by.a Caving Bank. Yesterday afternoon as M. Alty was working at the base of a bank of earth in the rear of his house lot on Coyote street, a large quantity of dirt fell upon him. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried into the house. Upon reviving he refused to have a physician sent for. He suffered considerably, about the back and breast.

Yesterday afternoon at half past the little mining camp of Quaker Hill in this county.and made inquiry cf J. E. Leopold, ditch agent at that point his way. Leopold immediately telefrom the State Prison at San Quentin. which had every appearance of being false. Instature he was tall and slender, and his cheek bones rather prominent. While talking with the ditch agent he studiously avoided looking the latter squarely in the face. He wore a short coat. Leopold has seen seems quite confident the stranger who asked the way to Red Dog is the notorious highwayman. During the year 1866 or thereabout Thorn went to Red Dog o8tensibly to visit the Chew brothers of that place whom he had known when tiey were comrades in the confederate army. He hung around there awhile and lived in a cabin jubt this side of Red Dog. He plied his vocation in that locality as a highwayman. Among others that he robbed was Wm. Kistle of this city who was then engaged in teaming over that way. For. this offense he was arrested, convicted and sent to State Prison for two years. The officers here are quite doubtful as to the stranger being Thorn. They think the fugitive would scarcely have the hardihood to venture back to the county where he is 60 well known and has had such a rough experience. Again, it seems unaccountable to them that he should find it necessary to enquire his way ina locality where he formerly operated.a There is a bare possibility, however, that he isthe man, arid for this reason Under Sheriff Holland upon receiving Leopold’s story by telephone immediately sent dispatches to You Bet and Truckee warning the officers there to keep a look-out, Sheriff Lord was away from the news came in, but returned shortly after and at once left for the neighborhood of You Bet. A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE, The driver of the Nevada City and Dutch Flat stage when coming over yesterday met the party seen by Leopold at a point about six miles from this city and three miles this side of Quaker Hill. This was at 11:30 in the forenoon. The driver exchanged salutions with him as they met and driving on half a mile further met John Spaulding riding towards Quaker Hill. Spaulding was riding at a good rate, but did not overtake the pedestrian, the latter having left the main road shortly after seeing the stage and taking a trail leading to Quaker Hill. A person unacquainted with that locality would not have been likely to have branched off on the trail or been able to follow it had he taken it. —— Royal Arch Masons.

Jacobs has with characteristic geherosity voluteered to give the use of the Theatre free of charge for the dramatic performance to be given on the 27th instant for the benefit of the electric light fund. The newspapers have agreed to do the printing and advertising without charge. Thus the expenses are reduced to a minimum and several hundred dollars profit will be realized. A Favorite Play Revived. George M.

The Native Daughters of Laurel Parlor are getting along finely with the preparations for the leap year party.

The Hall will be elaborately decorated after original designs and the music will*be the best to be had. The ladies will on that evening give the sterner sex some points on gallantry, and the men who are unfortunate enough to officiate as -wall-flowers provided there are any such ornaments will find out how it is themselves. Good Looking Ore. 8. M. Shurtleff brought down from Washington township this week some specimens of ore from various mines there. The Washington has an eightfoot ledge, and the Bluebell’s is fourteen feet thick. The ore in both is of a very Satisfactory grade, the Bluebell showing considerable free gold. " The Yuba mine is said to have never ‘ookéd more encouraging than it does sow. ‘ : The Nevada County Mine. The last monthly clean-up at the Nevada County mine in this city was from a crushing of 25 tons of ore that paid between $41 and $42 a ton. Nine men are employed in the mine, their efforts being largely directed to opening new. ground. The prospects of the mine are very good. A Good Little Mine. Mr. Bonney is getting good results from the quartz ledge in his house lot on Piety Hill, this city.

M. Preston, President of the Citizens Bank of this city. Said Mr. Preston to the TRANSCRIPT reporter yesterday: ‘‘ Yes, the growing of grains and grasses has proven highly profitable to those of our farmers who have engaged in that branch of agriculture. Many of them get from four to five tons of alfalfa and rye grass from the acre at a single cutting, Red clover, buckwheat, orchard grass, buck-rye, mesquit grass, Hungarian millet, golden millet, Egyptian corn and Kafir corn grow rank and healthy and are luxuriant in seed. In suitable localities, with irrigation, these plants are made to yield from three to five tons to the acre at a cutting, and three or four crops a year can be countel on. Rye, oats, wheat and sweet corn grow finely without irrigation on the red lands about this city and Grass Valley. “As to fruit growing,’’ says the speaker, ‘‘we can show still better results. The cost per acrd of cultivating and marketing isless. Everybody who has investigated knows that the fruit raised at this altitude is possessed of much better flavor and better shipping qualities than: that coming-from alower altitude. This is why our foothill fruit has obtained a world-wide reputation for .its excellence. Did you observe the dissplay of fruit at the last District Fair? Did you see those peaches weighing 20 ounces each? I Lknow of one tree from which was shipped two boxes of selected peaches not one of which was less than twelve inches in circumference. The wine and raisin grapes at that Fair were as fine as any to be seen in any part of the State. You doubtless observe that the best apples shown came from altitudes varying from 2,700 to 3,200, while the Bartlett pears from the hills were superior in all respects to the product of the lower lands. raised at an altitude of 3,000 feet above the sea and weighing a quarter of a pound apiece, and by their sides were German and French prunes which for size, flavor and appearance equalled any grown in Europe. “T desire to also remind you of that table in the center of the Pavilion whereon were 30 varieties of apples, 8 varieties of pears and 12 varieties of dried fruits, all from a single orchard. The dried fruits were cured on the place without artificial means. The sun did the work and did it well. “On another table were mammoth and luscious blackberries and strawberries from vines that yield almost perennially—from the early spring crop till the middle of December. fully raised at as great an altitude as 2700 feet, you found figs, olives, persimmons, oranges, lemons, pomegran‘. ates and other semi-tropical products. “Then we had most surprising examples of vegetable growth, such as 70-pound watermelons, stock-beets as large as a barrel, tomatoes of five pounds each, Indian corn 14 feet high, sunflower stalks 16 feet long, hemp 18 feet high, hop vines reaching 50 feet, potatoes which because of their superior size and other qualities bring from a quarter to ahalf a cent a pound more in the market than any other. “As to irrigation, while most soil products thrive better under its influences, many can be profitably grown without it. This remark not only applies to numerous varieties of vegetables and grain, but also to orchards and vineyards.. It is a well known fact that Nevada county is the best irrigated county in the State. No other county has such an abundant supply of water or such a complete ditch system for distributing it. “Now aword about our climate,’ continued the gentleman. ‘‘Noother part of the State surpasses us in this respect—in fact we have great advantages over most sections. Our winters are not excessively cold like those experienced by'our northern neighbors, and our summers lack the enervating torridity of the valleys, likewise the fogs of the coast regions. We have no north winds to speak of, no whirlwinds or sandstorms, no miasma, no epidemics. : “Yet with all these advantages w have large areas of fertile lands yet covered with forests and purchasable at from $10 to $20an acre. I can 6nly account for this on the ground that our own people have been slow in educating themselves up to !a proper degree of faith in the capabilities of the county’s soil and climate, and display somewhat of a lack of well directed industry and enterprise in converting these undeveloped resources into ,profitable and progressive industries. What will be the result of our indifference in these respects? Why, that people -from other sections will continue to come here as they have been doing for some time past, and grasp the opportunities that we let slip through our fingere. The tide of immigration in this direction is daily growing stronger, and a very few months hence those who desire good land at' low prices will be compelled to go elsewhere for it. ® “There is one thing, easily done, that the newspapers set us a good example in. I refer to speaking well of the climate and soil of our county, and recommending to visitors its prospects and its people. We should all do these things, an‘ at the same time class with public enemies all those who seek to delay public prosperity by belittling and belieing our county’s lieve Croup, Whooping and Bronchitis.

The Coroner's Inquest. The coroner’s jury in the case of the sudden death of M. Byrne of Grass Valley returned the following verdict: ‘We, the jurors summoned to appear before Wm. Powell, Coroner of Nevada county, at Grass Valley, on the 8th-dayof December, 1887, to inquire into the cause of death of Michael Byrne, Jr., having been duly sworn according to law, and having made such inquisition, after inspecting the body, and hearing the testimony adduced, upon our oaths, each and. all do say, that we find that the deceased was named Michael Byrne, Jr., was a native of Illinois, aged about 48 years, and that he came to his death on the 7th diy of December, 1887, in this county by an overdose of laudanum, taken without suicidal intent.” 0 ee The Grass Valley Postmastership. Suys the Union of yesterday: The death of M. Byrne, Jr., has created a vacancy in the Postmastership of this place, and the general expression yesterday was that his daughter, Miss Florence Byrne, should be appointed to succeed her father. As conducive to this a petition has already been put in circulation, which is receiving the’ signature of the business men without respect to party. Miss Byrne has been in the officé since the commencement of her father’s term, and is entirely familiar with the duties and every way capable to fill the position. The Postoffice Department at Washington has been informed by telegraph of the decease of Mr. Byrne, and that application will be made for the appointment of his daughter. Hurt by.a Caving Bank.

Yesterday afternoon at half past the little mining camp of Quaker Hill in this county.and made inquiry cf J. E. Leopold, ditch agent at that point his way. Leopold immediately telefrom the State Prison at San Quentin. which had every appearance of being false. Instature he was tall and slender, and his cheek bones rather prominent. While talking with the ditch agent he studiously avoided looking the latter squarely in the face. He wore a short coat. Leopold has seen seems quite confident the stranger who asked the way to Red Dog is the notorious highwayman. During the year 1866 or thereabout Thorn went to Red Dog o8tensibly to visit the Chew brothers of that place whom he had known when tiey were comrades in the confederate army. He hung around there awhile and lived in a cabin jubt this side of Red Dog. He plied his vocation in that locality as a highwayman. Among others that he robbed was Wm. Kistle of this city who was then engaged in teaming over that way. For. this offense he was arrested, convicted and sent to State Prison for two years. The officers here are quite doubtful as to the stranger being Thorn. They think the fugitive would scarcely have the hardihood to venture back to the county where he is 60 well known and has had such a rough experience. Again, it seems unaccountable to them that he should find it necessary to enquire his way ina locality where he formerly operated.a There is a bare possibility, however, that he isthe man, arid for this reason Under Sheriff Holland upon receiving Leopold’s story by telephone immediately sent dispatches to You Bet and Truckee warning the officers there to keep a look-out, Sheriff Lord was away from the news came in, but returned shortly after and at once left for the neighborhood of You Bet. A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE, The driver of the Nevada City and Dutch Flat stage when coming over yesterday met the party seen by Leopold at a point about six miles from this city and three miles this side of Quaker Hill. This was at 11:30 in the forenoon. The driver exchanged salutions with him as they met and driving on half a mile further met John Spaulding riding towards Quaker Hill. Spaulding was riding at a good rate, but did not overtake the pedestrian, the latter having left the main road shortly after seeing the stage and taking a trail leading to Quaker Hill. A person unacquainted with that locality would not have been likely to have branched off on the trail or been able to follow it had he taken it. —— Royal Arch Masons.
