In last week’s Nugget Ye Editor remarked that there had been no accidents reported in this district in spite of the huge holiday crowds which were on the highway.

The drive took them as far as Uncle Tom’s on the Downievilee Highway, a road with which she was perfectly familiar. Turning out too far to avoid a passing motorist, the light roadster in which the party was driving turned over and plunged down the canyon 50 feet. That the whole party was not seriously or fatally tally injured was miraculous. Serious bruises laid the editor up for several days while the children escaped with a few scratches. The car was fully covered by insurance and will be repaired in the next few days. COLUMBIA PARK BOYS RETURN TO HOMES Lake Olynrpia, the Columbia : Park Boys Club of San Francisco, left last Wednesday for home.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN PASSED AWAY SATURDAY Oliver Ragan, 90 years of age, one ‘of the last survivors of the Civil War, passed away at his heme on Grove street early Saturday morning. Mr. Ragan has been rather feeble of late and his passing was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Ragan enlisted with the Union forces early in the Civil War and served throughout the entire four years of the war. After the war he returned to his home in = Tipany, Ohio, and remained there for several years before coming to Cali‘fornia. On coming to Nevada County he settled in the Willow Valley district-andengaged in farming, min= ing and teaming. ing qualities, a good husband and to assist those in need.

STRUCK AT HOGE PROPERTIES There has been another commotion account of an additional high grade strike made on the properties of the: Hodge Development Company, which. apparently out shadows all of their recent strikes, and is consequently the most.important that has beem made in the Nevada City district for some period of time, .as the high: grade quartz in evidence speaks for itself. ; In order to secure authorative in— formation, an interview was had with _ Mr. Schiffner, the mine manager,. and also with=Mr. Hoge Jr. the Secretary and Treasurer, who have both stated, that they are quite evidently opening up in as vergin territory the most important ore body that has yet been discovered in their new operations. In the light of this new discovery in addition to their recent ones, it is now apparent that the. opinions of the mining “engineer and operators who are familiar with this particular ‘property, are being fully proven up by the facts, and that as they have stated, it will eventually be one of =~ the biggest producers of this famous "49 camp.

He iJeft Saturday for Camp Pahatsi to inspect the camp, being one of the executive committee. Next week he leaves for Los Angles where he will be joined by Mrs. Tuttle. They plan to remain in South una the latter part fal August. NEVADA cry COULD HAVE FINE MUSEUM As has repeatedly been advocated by The Nugget a movement has been started to preserve the many relics that were shown during the Fourth of July celebration. A fire proof building is absolutely necessary and it has been suggested that the old Citizens Bank building would make an excellent place for such an exhibit being fireproof and having a large vault for storing the valuable farticies. A committee has been appointed from the Native Sons and the Native Daughters to see what can be done about the matter. A small sum could be charged for addmittance to help take care of the wages of a caretaker or admission could be free and the state appealed to for funds to pay the caretaker. It would surely be a great attraction to outsiders thousands of whom will be coming through Nevada City as soon as the Tahoe Ukiah road is completed. As usual Frank Davis is the first to come forward in any public movement and has offered the city the old stage coach if he will be assured that it will be properly cared for. In many cases perhaps the parties owning the relics would not care to part with them, but would be glad to loan them to the museum where they will be properly cared for and be afforded far greater fire protection than the home would offer. We know that in a very short time Nevada City will have a worth while museum because Nevada City never falls down. The recent Fourth of July celebration was a seventh wonder to outside visitors who marveled that a town of the size coull put on! such a creditable exhibition. A little cooperation sre droe wonders. GRASS VALLEY MINER DIED AT SANITARIUM William Winn, a native of England, aged 64, died at the Nevada City Sanatarium Tuesday mornnig following a six-months ilmess. Mr. up to date are only a small part of . what they can reasonably expect to: " develop. The Hoge family and their asso~ ‘eiates have invested a sizeable fortune in their properties and developments and the wishes of the entire. community are that they all make a most handsom profit and which from ‘all appearances and reports will no soon prove to be true. FITTS MAKES SPEECH IN AUBURN SATURDAY The marvelous age in which we live was plainly demonstrated when Buron Fitts, aspirant for the gubernational chair, left Los Angeles Saturday morning, flew to Sacramento then motored to Auburn to accept the invitation of the Sacramento Regional Council to speak at their Auburn meeting at noon. He was scheduled to speak in a town near ae Los Angeles that evening and hurried ¥ oe back to Sacramento in order to roe turn to the southern city by plane. He spoke of the excellent work done by the Sacramento Regional . Council and the cooperation the northern counties should give to the organization. The truest words he said were that we in northern California had everything and did nothing with what we had, while south= ern California had nothing but made . something of it. He said that if southern California had Lake Tahoe it would be the finest lake in the world. ROLPH PARTY HAS TROUT.
