What a Man Will Do For Five Hundred Dollars. ‘The Marysville Appeal says: ‘‘About two weeks ago a man living on a little mountain ranch near Slate Creek, in Sierra county, came to this city and told District Attorney Forhes that he was ready to make an affidavit against one of the enjoined hydraulic mines for whose detection in coritempt of Court the county of Yuba had offered a reward of $500. His statement was heard, the affidavit taken, and the necessary papers in a contempt case re made out and placed in the hands of Deputy U.S Marshal Sternes, who went to serve them. The violator of the injunction is the~ Sierra Union Water. and Mining Company, operating on Slate ‘creek. .The name of the informant could not be ascertained by the reporter yesterday, but he is known to have lived in the vicinity of the mine for. years, and has stated that he will inform at every opportunity for $500. This is the first mine to bé caught under the Yuba county reward system.”’ HERE AND THERE. Grass, Valley’s. electric ‘system of street lighting is now in operation. The Grass Valley water works are to be improved by the addition of 1,114 feet of 15-inch pipe. Mrs. H. B. Maxfield’s fine collection of paintings will be raffled at the National. Hotel this evening.

Most of the examinations have been already finished. The Union of yesterday says: ‘The hotel which is to be built at Chicago Park is to be finished by the first of next June.” © A number of the teachers and young lady pupils from Glenbrook Academy were in attendance at the Bazar entertainment Thursday evening. The H. & L. club of Marysville will not visit Grass Valley Sunday as expected, but there will be a match game for $50 a side between the True Blue and Boss of the Road nines. Baseball has taken a back seat at Grass Valley since the inglorious defeat of the Boss of the Road club last Sunday and progressive euchre. now absords the intellect and attention of the Grass Valleyans. Weather perfect yesterday. But that is nothing unusual for Nevada county. Handsome women,big gold nuggets, luscious fruit and faultless climate are chief among the products of this part of the State. Miss Florence Byrne has petitioned for letters of adminstration on the estate of her father,.M. Byrne,deceased, The estate is estimated to not exceed $16,000 in value. The petition is set for hearing on the 27th instant. Mrs. O’Neil of Allison Ranch thinks that John O’Neil who was accidentally killed a few days since while sinking a well at San Francisco, was her husband who went away three years ago and for two years past has not contributed to the support of herself and six children. The Dancing Teachers’ Association of the Pacific Coast condemn too much familiarity and abolish swinging ladies by the waist. Infact, they condemn all the vulgar and ridiculous pestures and attitudes, and say that they are derogatory to good breeding and will not be tolerated in their academies. Good enough.

Eprtror TrANscriet—A real live Baron honored our town with a fiying visit on Saturday evening last and remained over at this place s eing the sights till yesterday, when he left for his home in San Francisco. It was Baron von Schroeder who is a large stockholder in the Washington and Blue Bell mines of this district. After inspecting the workiggs of both properties he expressed himself as very much pleased with the prospect of both mines. The Baron was accompanied by Mr. Luckhard,ta mining expert who will doubtless make a scientific report of the twomines. Whether it will be for the public ear or not I am not prepared to say. A short time ago two oldgpioneers of Nevada county, now residents of this district; got into an argument in segard to the exact time of certain events that occurred in Nevada City in the early days ‘of 1850. Not being able to decide the point at issue between themselves it was agreed that E. G. Waite should be the arbitrar,and his decision should be final whether right or wrong. Therefore I addressed a note to Mr. Waite asking him if he would be kind enougli to answer these three questions provided that he recollected the circumstances: 1st—Who was Sheriff of Nevada county in 1852? 2d—What month and day was the big fire in Nevada City of 1851? 3d—When was Boss Wright elected Sheriff? The following is Mr. Waite’s answer verbatim et literatim : San Francisco, Dec. 6, 87. Chas McElvey, Esq.—In answer to your inquiries I will say John Gallagher held the office of Sherifff from 1851 to 1853; Endicott from 1853 to 1855. Boss Wright was Sheriff from 1855 to November, 1856, when he was killed. The fire of 1851 occurred on the 11th of March. I write copying from the records as published. ‘ Yours, E. G. Warrz. I am satiefied that Mr. Waite is correct in his answer with the exception of John Gallagher being Sheriff from 1851 to 1853. Mr. Gallagher was certainly not Sheriff on the 16th day of June, 1852, at the time that John Barrett was hung. My private opinion is that Mr. Endicott was elected Sheriff in the fall of 1851, and held office for three years. Won’t some old pioneer air himself through the columns ef the Transcrirt and straighten out the tangled thread? Cuas. McELvey. Sed e Thursday Evening at the Theater Standing room was at a premium in the Theater Thursday evening. The building was crowded up stairs and down with an audience that gave frequent evidence of heartily enjoying the performance. The first part of the program consisted of songs by Mrs. H. G. Parsons and Miss Jennie Marsh, who were as usual received with great favor, and a recitation— “Phryne’s Husband’’—by George A. Watson. who was complimented for the excellence of his réading by being tvice brought before the footlights to acknowledge the long-continued applause. Part two of the program was Baker’s two-act comedy-drama of “Down By the Sea.’? No amateur performance given here has won more universal commendation. Everything moved as-smoothly as clockwork, and there was, according to the verdict of the spectators, a vivacity and snap to the representation that is absent in even professional performances occasionally. Whatever merit the playing may have possessed is due ina great measure to the assistance of Mr. Watson who kindly gave the amateurs numerous hints in regard to the details of stage business. At the close of the second act the amateurs were accorded a recall. After the play the various booths were liberally patronized by the throng assembled, and a liberal sum was earned for the exchequer of Trinity Church. Yesterday afternoon the Theater was the scene of a “‘dolls’ matinee” under the superintendence of Mrs. E. A. Ridge,. and hundreds of young and old people were there to enjoy it. Last evening the tray drill and dance at Armory Hall were drawing features and closed the series of entertainments, Orange Growing in Nevada Couity. In the southern and western part of this county is quite a tract of country where the climatic and other conditions are extremely favorable to orange culture, a8 has been demonstratated by practical experiments extending over a period of several years past. At the late citrus fair of Northern-Central California the first prize for seedlings was justly awarded to oranges from Niles & Marsh's orchard, periority was earned withont outside influence in their favor being brought to bear on-the committee.

A SCURVY TRICK. Putting Kerosene on Ore ta Prevent Saving the Gold. George F. Gray & Co, are having 30 tons of ore from their mine in the Piety Hill part of this city crushed at Locklin’s: custom mill. Some one poured a quantity of kerosene over the ore while it was still on the damp, evidently hoping to thus prevent the owners from amalgamating the finer particles of gold that were init. But the trick wes discovered, and measures have been taken to neutralize the effects of the oil. The Gray & Company mine is a desirable property, and promises to keep improving as work is done on it. Not long ago acrushing of 18 tons was made, the clean-up being over. $700 or about $40 per ton. The ledge averages a foot in thickness. There are two tunnels, the lower giving nearly. 200 feet of backs and being in 250 feet. The upper tunnel, which has been about worked out, has been bonded by Messrs. Dower & Son who will next. Monday begin operations preparatory to working their mine through it. This tunnel is now in 100 feet, and by running it 150 feet further it will reach their property. The Dowers have b2en temporarily-enjoined from working their claim from the surface of the land belonging to the estate of Philip Richards, deceased, and the executors of the estate seek to perpetually restrain them from so doing. If the Dowers are defeated in court and the injunction granted, they can as a last resort work their ground threugh the Gray tunnel. : That Gold Dust Suit. A decision which is of interest to.all Persons who ship g»ods per Wells, Fargo & Co., was rendered at San Francisco Wednesday by Judge Hunt in the case of H. Scamman, the Downieville banker, against Wells, Fargo & Co. It was an action brought to recover the difference between the stated value of a bag of gold dust, marked~by the plaintiff on the bag-at the time of making the shipment,and the actual value of the property. The dust was stolen while in transit, and was afterwards recovered by Detective Hume. When found it was mixed with a quanitity of gold dust belonging to other people. The defendants delivered to plaintiff the amount marked on the statement, whereupon Scamman asserted that the actual value of the gold was $3,750 and not $3,260, as he had declared at the time of making the shipment. The company refused to pay him the difference, and he commenced suit for the recovery of the same. The court held that there was no proof of the actual value of the cargo, and rendered judgment for defendant, on the ground that the carrier was not liable for more than the stated value. A Sovereign Remedy. ——— Of the numerous preparations offered in the market as cures for throat and lung diseases, there is none that proves more successful than Miss Hannah Branch’s Remedy, and seldom is anything found that is nearly as efficacious. It has performed numerous remarkable cures, and among those who can testify to its superiority are many Nevada county people. C. E. Mulloy of this city is the wholesale and retail agent here for the remedy. See the advertisement. Blown Up By Giant Powder, Night before last the iron pipe which conducts water for power to the mill-of the Providence Mining Company was blown up with giant powder placed there by some unknown person or persons.’ It is suspected that this misdeed grew out of the recent reduction of wages at that mine to $2.50 a day. The mill also has facilities for running by steam and yes-. be terday the stamps were pounding out gold by steam power. The Wagon Roads. There is eight ‘inches of snow in spots along the ridge between this city and Washington, but the roads are clear. The wagon roads throughout the county are improving rapidly, and will be in first-class’ condition within a few days if the present favorable weather continues. Death of Mrs. Mulry. Mrs. Alicia Mulry, mother of Mrs. Charles Grimes, died yesterday after an éxtended illness. She had been a resident of this city for many years, and was highly respected. .The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at one o’clock from St: Canice Church. ae ee °Tis An Ill wind That brings with it gusts of rain from that quarter on a wet day, the rheumatic are apt to suffer, even if seated by their ‘‘ain comfortable ingle’ in a cosy arm chair.

PCPULAR PRICES. —— The Wilber Comedy’s Company Excellence Extolled. A. R. Wilber’s Comedy Company will begin a week’s engafement at the Nevada Theater next Monday evening, presenting a different play each evening. Their prices are ten, twénty and thirty cents. The press all-over the State speak in the highest terms: of this company. The following notice is from the-Napa Daily Register of Dec. 8th: ‘‘The, Wilber Comedy Company gave their patrons another treat last evening in ‘The Two Orphans.’ We heard some one say after the first two acts, that it seemed stiff-and formal. That was asincere compliment, for the time and scene called for formality. None complained of formality after that though, for the scene changed from the salon of the noble tothe hovel of the poor. The elegant costumes of velvet and satin gave way to rags and dirt. It can be said in favor of the Wilber troupe that there is no star whose brightness eclipses the minor lights. The studied adaptation of the actors to their respective parts is supplemented by their gwn talent and one is puzzled to find just cause of. compliant. We doubt if the part of Louise has ever been better taken, and if La Frochard would moderate a trifle the uniform stridency of her voice, she would be unexcelled. Her. make-up was superb. The ladies are still talking about those e‘egant French costumes worn in the second act. Tne Chevalier just captured them.’”’ Reserved seats now on sale. Gathering the Ice Crop. The Truckee Republican says: ‘‘The ice crop on the various ponds in this vicinity now runs from eight to eleven inches thickness and the ice companies are about to begin the harvest. The Mountain Ice Co. has started and is now putting up thecrystal squares ten and eleven inches thick. The other companies are marking off the fields and will commence running it into the houses. between now and. Monday. The late cold weather is just what was wanted and if it will stay that way for a few days longer, the crop Will be the largest ever put up along the Truckee river.”” Ei verybody Can-Go. t ‘The “‘poverty dance” is the latest innovation. Invitations printed on strawboard, and inclosed in cheap yellow envelopes, are circulated. Tickets for the ball are forty-six cents, and supper nineteen cents. No gentleman is allowed to participate who has less than two patches on his clothes; the ladies are dressed in calico and refreshments are served on wooden plates. Suit to Foreclose. The Citizens Bank yesterday commenced in the Superior Court a suit to foreclose a mortgage on the Nevada City mine. The,money is alleged to be due on a note dated October 4th, 1886. And Right You Are. Says the Tidings: ‘‘Olive trees flourish in Nevada county—in the western and lower end.

The Land and Improvement Asscciation in conjunction with County Clerk Beatty and other public-spirited citizens will this week ship to Los An‘geles a modest and hastily gathered exhibit of oranges, lemons, pomegranates, Japanese . persimmons, wine, nuts of various kinds and other products. The display will Be made in connection with Placer county’s, which is to begin next Tuesday, and W. Dana Perkins will at his own expense accompany it and act as special commissioner for this county. It was not until Thursday evening definitely decided that this step would be taken, and mrs acay no time can be lost in making the collection, as shipment must be made today from here to Mr. Perkins at Rocktin. It is too late in the season to make a creditable showing of oar superior foothill pears, grapes, and several other standard fruits in the production of which the Bartlett pear belt excels, but the very best will be done that can be under the circumstances. County Assessor Bond went yesterday to the French Corral district to gather samples of fruits raised there, and Henry Lane made a trip for the same purpose to Penn Valley,’ Indian Springs, PetHill, Niles & Marsh’s farm and vicinity. Good for Grass Valley.

The Anti-Debris Association of Yuba county is short of funds, and will soon make another raid on the purses of the valley farmers. The fact that the valley press do n#t have anything to say nowadays afout the wicked miners is the strongest eWdence that the Associition has no fuhds-on hand and consequently they are as mute as an oyster.

What a Man Will Do For Five Hundred Dollars. ‘The Marysville Appeal says: ‘‘About two weeks ago a man living on a little mountain ranch near Slate Creek, in Sierra county, came to this city and told District Attorney Forhes that he was ready to make an affidavit against one of the enjoined hydraulic mines for whose detection in coritempt of Court the county of Yuba had offered a reward of $500. His statement was heard, the affidavit taken, and the necessary papers in a contempt case re made out and placed in the hands of Deputy U.S Marshal Sternes, who went to serve them. The violator of the injunction is the~ Sierra Union Water. and Mining Company, operating on Slate ‘creek. .The name of the informant could not be ascertained by the reporter yesterday, but he is known to have lived in the vicinity of the mine for. years, and has stated that he will inform at every opportunity for $500. This is the first mine to bé caught under the Yuba county reward system.”’ HERE AND THERE. Grass, Valley’s. electric ‘system of street lighting is now in operation.

Eprtror TrANscriet—A real live Baron honored our town with a fiying visit on Saturday evening last and remained over at this place s eing the sights till yesterday, when he left for his home in San Francisco. It was Baron von Schroeder who is a large stockholder in the Washington and Blue Bell mines of this district. After inspecting the workiggs of both properties he expressed himself as very much pleased with the prospect of both mines. The Baron was accompanied by Mr. Luckhard,ta mining expert who will doubtless make a scientific report of the twomines. Whether it will be for the public ear or not I am not prepared to say. A short time ago two oldgpioneers of Nevada county, now residents of this district; got into an argument in segard to the exact time of certain events that occurred in Nevada City in the early days ‘of 1850. Not being able to decide the point at issue between themselves it was agreed that E. G. Waite should be the arbitrar,and his decision should be final whether right or wrong. Therefore I addressed a note to Mr. Waite asking him if he would be kind enougli to answer these three questions provided that he recollected the circumstances: 1st—Who was Sheriff of Nevada county in 1852? 2d—What month and day was the big fire in Nevada City of 1851? 3d—When was Boss Wright elected Sheriff? The following is Mr. Waite’s answer verbatim et literatim : San Francisco, Dec. 6, 87. Chas McElvey, Esq.—In answer to your inquiries I will say John Gallagher held the office of Sherifff from 1851 to 1853; Endicott from 1853 to 1855. Boss Wright was Sheriff from 1855 to November, 1856, when he was killed. The fire of 1851 occurred on the 11th of March. I write copying from the records as published. ‘ Yours, E. G. Warrz. I am satiefied that Mr. Waite is correct in his answer with the exception of John Gallagher being Sheriff from 1851 to 1853. Mr. Gallagher was certainly not Sheriff on the 16th day of June, 1852, at the time that John Barrett was hung. My private opinion is that Mr. Endicott was elected Sheriff in the fall of 1851, and held office for three years. Won’t some old pioneer air himself through the columns ef the Transcrirt and straighten out the tangled thread? Cuas. McELvey. Sed e Thursday Evening at the Theater Standing room was at a premium in the Theater Thursday evening. The building was crowded up stairs and down with an audience that gave frequent evidence of heartily enjoying the performance. The first part of the program consisted of songs by Mrs. H. G. Parsons and Miss Jennie Marsh, who were as usual received with great favor, and a recitation— “Phryne’s Husband’’—by George A. Watson. who was complimented for the excellence of his réading by being tvice brought before the footlights to acknowledge the long-continued applause. Part two of the program was Baker’s two-act comedy-drama of “Down By the Sea.’? No amateur performance given here has won more universal commendation. Everything moved as-smoothly as clockwork, and there was, according to the verdict of the spectators, a vivacity and snap to the representation that is absent in even professional performances occasionally. Whatever merit the playing may have possessed is due ina great measure to the assistance of Mr. Watson who kindly gave the amateurs numerous hints in regard to the details of stage business. At the close of the second act the amateurs were accorded a recall. After the play the various booths were liberally patronized by the throng assembled, and a liberal sum was earned for the exchequer of Trinity Church. Yesterday afternoon the Theater was the scene of a “‘dolls’ matinee” under the superintendence of Mrs. E. A. Ridge,. and hundreds of young and old people were there to enjoy it. Last evening the tray drill and dance at Armory Hall were drawing features and closed the series of entertainments, Orange Growing in Nevada Couity. In the southern and western part of this county is quite a tract of country where the climatic and other conditions are extremely favorable to orange culture, a8 has been demonstratated by practical experiments extending over a period of several years past.

A SCURVY TRICK. Putting Kerosene on Ore ta Prevent Saving the Gold. George F. Gray & Co, are having 30 tons of ore from their mine in the Piety Hill part of this city crushed at Locklin’s: custom mill. Some one poured a quantity of kerosene over the ore while it was still on the damp, evidently hoping to thus prevent the owners from amalgamating the finer particles of gold that were init. But the trick wes discovered, and measures have been taken to neutralize the effects of the oil. The Gray & Company mine is a desirable property, and promises to keep improving as work is done on it. Not long ago acrushing of 18 tons was made, the clean-up being over. $700 or about $40 per ton. The ledge averages a foot in thickness. There are two tunnels, the lower giving nearly. 200 feet of backs and being in 250 feet. The upper tunnel, which has been about worked out, has been bonded by Messrs. Dower & Son who will next. Monday begin operations preparatory to working their mine through it. This tunnel is now in 100 feet, and by running it 150 feet further it will reach their property. The Dowers have b2en temporarily-enjoined from working their claim from the surface of the land belonging to the estate of Philip Richards, deceased, and the executors of the estate seek to perpetually restrain them from so doing. If the Dowers are defeated in court and the injunction granted, they can as a last resort work their ground threugh the Gray tunnel. : That Gold Dust Suit. A decision which is of interest to.all Persons who ship g»ods per Wells, Fargo & Co., was rendered at San Francisco Wednesday by Judge Hunt in the case of H. Scamman, the Downieville banker, against Wells, Fargo & Co. It was an action brought to recover the difference between the stated value of a bag of gold dust, marked~by the plaintiff on the bag-at the time of making the shipment,and the actual value of the property. The dust was stolen while in transit, and was afterwards recovered by Detective Hume. When found it was mixed with a quanitity of gold dust belonging to other people. The defendants delivered to plaintiff the amount marked on the statement, whereupon Scamman asserted that the actual value of the gold was $3,750 and not $3,260, as he had declared at the time of making the shipment. The company refused to pay him the difference, and he commenced suit for the recovery of the same. The court held that there was no proof of the actual value of the cargo, and rendered judgment for defendant, on the ground that the carrier was not liable for more than the stated value. A Sovereign Remedy. ——— Of the numerous preparations offered in the market as cures for throat and lung diseases, there is none that proves more successful than Miss Hannah Branch’s Remedy, and seldom is anything found that is nearly as efficacious. It has performed numerous remarkable cures, and among those who can testify to its superiority are many Nevada county people. C. E. Mulloy of this city is the wholesale and retail agent here for the remedy. See the advertisement. Blown Up By Giant Powder, Night before last the iron pipe which conducts water for power to the mill-of the Providence Mining Company was blown up with giant powder placed there by some unknown person or persons.’ It is suspected that this misdeed grew out of the recent reduction of wages at that mine to $2.50 a day. The mill also has facilities for running by steam and yes-. be terday the stamps were pounding out gold by steam power. The Wagon Roads. There is eight ‘inches of snow in spots along the ridge between this city and Washington, but the roads are clear. The wagon roads throughout the county are improving rapidly, and will be in first-class’ condition within a few days if the present favorable weather continues. Death of Mrs. Mulry.

PCPULAR PRICES. —— The Wilber Comedy’s Company Excellence Extolled. A. R. Wilber’s Comedy Company will begin a week’s engafement at the Nevada Theater next Monday evening, presenting a different play each evening. Their prices are ten, twénty and thirty cents. The press all-over the State speak in the highest terms: of this company. The following notice is from the-Napa Daily Register of Dec. 8th: ‘‘The, Wilber Comedy Company gave their patrons another treat last evening in ‘The Two Orphans.’ We heard some one say after the first two acts, that it seemed stiff-and formal. That was asincere compliment, for the time and scene called for formality. None complained of formality after that though, for the scene changed from the salon of the noble tothe hovel of the poor. The elegant costumes of velvet and satin gave way to rags and dirt. It can be said in favor of the Wilber troupe that there is no star whose brightness eclipses

the minor lights. The studied adaptation of the actors to their respective parts is supplemented by their gwn talent and one is puzzled to find just cause of. compliant. We doubt if the part of Louise has ever been better taken, and if La Frochard would moderate a trifle the uniform stridency of her voice, she would be unexcelled. Her. make-up was superb. The ladies are still talking about those e‘egant French costumes worn in the second act. Tne Chevalier just captured them.’”’ Reserved seats now on sale. Gathering the Ice Crop. The Truckee Republican says: ‘‘The ice crop on the various ponds in this vicinity now runs from eight to eleven inches thickness and the ice companies are about to begin the harvest. The Mountain Ice Co. has started and is now putting up thecrystal squares ten and eleven inches thick. The other companies are marking off the fields and will commence running it into the houses. between now and. Monday. The late cold weather is just what was wanted and if it will stay that way for a few days longer, the crop Will be the largest ever put up along the Truckee river.”” Ei verybody Can-Go. t ‘The “‘poverty dance” is the latest innovation. Invitations printed on strawboard, and inclosed in cheap yellow envelopes, are circulated. Tickets for the ball are forty-six cents, and supper nineteen cents.

The Land and Improvement Asscciation in conjunction with County Clerk Beatty and other public-spirited citizens will this week ship to Los An‘geles a modest and hastily gathered exhibit of oranges, lemons, pomegranates, Japanese . persimmons, wine, nuts of various kinds and other products. The display will Be made in connection with Placer county’s, which is to begin next Tuesday, and W. Dana Perkins will at his own expense accompany it and act as special commissioner for this county. It was not until Thursday evening definitely decided that this step would be taken, and mrs acay no time can be lost in making the collection, as shipment must be made today from here to Mr. Perkins at Rocktin. It is too late in the season to make a creditable showing of oar superior foothill pears, grapes, and several other standard fruits in the production of which the Bartlett pear belt excels, but the very best will be done that can be under the circumstances. County Assessor Bond went yesterday to the French Corral district to gather samples of fruits raised there, and Henry Lane made a trip for the same purpose to Penn Valley,’ Indian Springs, PetHill, Niles & Marsh’s farm and vicinity.
