PAGE TWO : ‘THE NEVADA Published weekly: on Friday morning at Nevada City, and entered as mail matter of fice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year. eny address in California. in advance Outside Cetifornia, in U. a Three Months CITY NUGGET — Calif., the second class inthe postofMarch 3, 1879. Je One Month 25 A Legal Susann of ‘General Circulation for Nevada City as defined by legal statute. Printed and and Nevada County, published at Nevada City. Elsie P. Willoughby.. Editor and Publisher Thomas Bessler t CONCEN TRATES Alpine County has within her confidence eight peaks along the backbone of the Sierra Nevadas that are over 10,000 feet in height. Driving. over Ebbett’s Pass at an elevation of 8800 feet the view of: this rugged, snow capped range is most inspiring and as the new highway, which is being improved by “the state, winds downward toward Markleeville the view of the upper Carson Valley, with its abrupt flanks éof blue and green conglomerates, is «of unsurpassed beauty. In all Alpine County there is a population of less than 150 people The county seat, Markleeville, is prettily situated on the west branch. of the headquarters of the Carson River. The town consists of less than a dozen houses and a somewhat diminature court houhe. court house. As there is but little county businetss to transact the county officals are businehs men who cannot depend upon a livehood upon the small salaries made necessary by the lack of population § so, if the county assessor is wanted it is necessary to send out to his ranch for: him to come in. The sheriff is operating a mine and other officals are augmenting their. small salaries by various . occupations. Sliver City, about ten miles south of Makleeville, was once the scene of great mining activity and supported a population of about 6000 vy the mining of sliver. Today, all that remains of this once prosperious town are the smelter stack and the deeaying remnants of many homes and former placs of businss. But the grandeur of Alpines magnificent peake and beautiful valleys is hard to realize unless one has seen them. The fruit men are having a bad yeay along. with the rest of . the country . in the genaral , depression now existing .Thé first cherries shipped this year jbrought but 65 eents per box in the eastern markets while the cost of pickin,g packing and shipping the cherries comes to $1.74 making a net loss, the shipper of $1.09 per box. The result is that cherries are being left unpicked around Loomis. and the Placer County fruit belt. \ The outlook for peaches this year is also bad, with a market price of $12 per ton. The raisers say that the price itself would not be so bad had it not been for the fact that the canneries demand graded fruit of partically one size blemist of any kind. We are told by a fruit man the other day that the packer neglected about 75 per cent of the fruit delivered for trivial faults and that the price of $12 per ton means in the end, about $3 per ton to the grower for fruit picked and delivered (The Modesto canneries? are not ————— and without: but the young reckless generation who think it smart to show off by seeing how fast. they can make a car go or how close they come to some passing machine without hitting it. The most deporable accidents occur, not upon the rough and dangerous mountain roads, but nearly always upon,:the improved, open highways which seem ¢o a certain type of humanity to be an. invit‘ation for insane seed and recklessness. Youth generally, when it takes the ' wheel of an automobile, seems to ‘east aside all reasons and responsibility and regard for others. And when the combination is made with Volstead booze, which is now so popular and so easy to get, we have ‘a condition that is hadr to deal with. j But something will have to be done . about it sooner or later. When twenty . one people are killed and twice that many injured in a single day in Cali; fornia, as they were last week, it ‘is time to pay some attention to it. ‘METAL MINING MAGNATES GATHER IN SALT LAKE With: The Gathering In This City of men commanding positions at the top of the mental mining and sme]ting industries of this country early in the week, speculation as 40 what it all meant naturally was rampant. were Daniel C. Yacking, president of the Utah Copper Co. and an outstanding figure in the cooper mining world; F. H. Browell, chairman of the American Smelting & Refining Co. and an outspoken friend and authority on the problems confronting the advocates of the rehabilitation of sliver; N. Y. Walker, vice president in charge of smelaing of hie same company; Clinton H. Crane {president and I. H. Cornell, vicepresident and sales manager of the 'St. Joseph Lead Co.; F. W. Bradley, president of the Bunker Hill & Sul'livan Mining and Concentrating Co., ‘and Stanley A. Easton, general fager of the same concern, which {dominates the lead-sliver-zinc and ‘associated industries of the North. !west. That these magnates and other associates, billed to join them here . during their stay in this city, would undoubt]y make history and discuss events intimately indentified with the hopes, expectations (and fears) of the Western mining world, was sensed before their coming. the Mining Review is compelled to forego any mention of ‘the news assuring from the conference being held, because of the necessity of beginning press runs on man. However, Counted ‘“‘present,, in this gathering . ‘gre not the older more expperienced the peach growers in that vicinity fac, a partical total loss of their crop. et It is evedint that the raising of chickens is not a business of profit : these days either. A resort keeper . --at Lake Tohoe informed us recently . that he has been offered young fry-. ers at the ranch for eight cents each. . ‘People were horrified , last weak! by the tragedy on the highway near Rocklin when two young women had . their heads sheared from their bedies . by passing beneath a highway sign ‘which wes 150 feet from the road. "Rach week end sees a growing list of death, broken gones and torn @lesh. along the highways of this state and in fully. nine cases out of “ten the fault lies not, as might some-itimes be imferred, from defective, { machines or tires, but through purely criminal carelessness. (Those involved in these accidents and naturally more carefull drivers, ations will not result, in any action inimical to the future welfare of the industry—Mining Review : ACTIVITIES OF ASSEMBLYMAN SEAWELL “This is the second of a series of articles of explanation of bills introduced by Assemblyman Seawell and passing both Houses of the Legislature. Assemblyman Seawell introduced four assembly joint resolutions. and are explained as follows: Assembly Joint Resoultion no. 18 requests the United States Congress and Division of Forestry to appropriate the sum of $1000,000.00 for the purposes of damage is being done by insects in the forests of this State, and it is the purpose of this resolution to have the Federal Government participate in the preservation of the National Forests located in this , this number of the publication. We 4 ean only hope that ways and meons will be found to avert any action that will further depress the industry : and the thousands of people directly : dependent u > ite > ry. ini open at all this year for we packing ue smelting ee pees iangelnpepoon of the peach erep, claiming ee 20 friend of the metal mining industry over supply exists. The result is that 2nq jt ig certain that their delibery y ‘ THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET, CALIFORNIA State and a; the same tome prevent the spread of the pests. to other forest acres situated in California. Asembly Joint Resolution no. 21 requests Congress to provide ‘compensation that they removed the tax rolis of the several Counties due. to the fact thay they have .been included in the National Forest Areas, and are not taxable in this State. : This resoultion provides that the Federal Government pay to the State five cents per acre for every acre of land of national forest and federal
timber reserve land in the State of California. This would mean that the Federal Government would return approximately One Million Dollars to the State of California which sum of money would be allocat ed to the several counties in which this National Forest and timber’ land is located which would mean a big savings to the local tax payer. Assembly Joint Resolution no. 14 requested the President and Congress to call a meeting of ‘r@presentatives of the Oriental and Latin American countries for the purpose of trying to re-establish the trading value of sliver as sliver is the medium of trade of the Oriental and Latin American countries. Their purchasing power has been severely, handicaped due to the uresent value of sliver, and as they are the leading customers of the United States is one of the reasons why our foreign markets are not what they were. before the slump in the sliver market. As the result.of this resolution President Hoover, a short time ago, called a conference as per the request of the resolution and the same is to be held inthe near future. Assembly Joint Resolution no. 22 requested Congress and the President to prevent the importation into the United States of products produced by Russian convict lagor. At present time Russia is flooding this country with products by labor of this type and as the result of this important of such produsts American business and Americans Free labor finds itdelf unable to compete with the Russian convict made products. The Government and the President have taken stops.to place an embarge upon such products made by prison labor in Russia. I believe all these resolutions are of extreme interest and benefit to the State of California. rey ELECTRICAL WIRING L. B.
