Shoot-No.4 has ‘been developed upon the 900 level and the intermediate west drift from 1000 raise has been advanced 22 feet in mill.ore three feet in width. The important developments of the No. 2 shoot on the 1300 level west drift has been continued during week for 42 feet. To the present face it is 236 feet from the point where this shoot was first encountered. In slabbing off for a siding the ore has been exposed for a width of 10 to 12 feet for a length of 38 feet along the previously opened drift near the present face. Drifting east upon the 1300 level was started during the _ preceding week and has progressd to 54 feet east of the station, all in low grade vein filling. At 22 feet east of the station a number of well mineralized quartz stringers cut into the vein channel from the hanging wall side. This drift will develop. the vein block ‘east of the shaft which has had but little prospecting attention . below the fifth level, although a substantial ore tonnage was yielded from this area upon the upper levels. The mill is operating two shifts daily with satisfying retallurgical results. Arrangements have been made to have a long change for all shifts, so all of the men may enjoy a full day off twice in each monks, FIRE LADDIES ELECT ~ NEW YEARLY OFFICERS, Pennsylvania ip Bhgine Co.

U SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ; REUNION JUNE 15TH Former residents of Nevada County will hold their 11th reunion at Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles.on Sunday, June 15th. The committee has sent out invitations to all former Nevada County residents in the south. and assuring all who attend a good time and-.an opportunity to renew old acquaintances. SCOUT SUMMER CAMP NEAR SODA SPRINGS The Scout summer camp this year will be held at a new camp site not far distant from Soda Springs. The camp, for the past few years, has been held at a point adjacent to the Victory Highway a few miles above Cisco. The new location for the camp includes a fine little lake which measures a little over one mile in circumference and which will make an ideal placé for the swimming and kindred water projects of scouting. There are men who are interested in Scouting and who believe that it is the one way that has been developed to supply a character building medium which does not exist in other training institutions. Men of this type have conceived the idea of purchasing the present -site for a permanent camp for the Scouts of Tahoe Area Council. A_ subscription list to purchase the property has been started and more than half fhe mount of money necessary to buy d has been donated by public ens of Placer and /Neo far Nevada City iber to the fund -respond in the Pquests mailed er states that -in any city where The Fourth of July celebration is gathering speed as the steam pressure mounts upward as the various committees wax enthusiastic. in their several assignments. Evidently there will be a real '49er celebration, with a parade having entrants varying from ox teams to covered wagons. There may also be some later designs in another division of the parade. A “Days of ’49 Concessions’’ committee has been appointed by general chairman Frank Davies. Ed. C. Uren is the chairman of this committee and he has a live bunch of assistants who will doubtless have something rather interesting to show by the time the Fourth comes around. There is here in Nevada City one of the ‘best; natural settings for an early day representation that can be found in the entire West. The old buildings, built of brick and Stone and guarded: by the iron doors and iron window shutters areliving witnesses of the type and sturdy construction of the early buildings of the state. If several of these buildings could be’opened and occupied for the two or three days of this eelebration it would be far more of a ’49er Celebration than can be held rickety booths must be built to house the resurrected miners. It is planned to have a dance and a program at Redmen’s Park on the night of July third. A carnival was at first proposed for that time and place but as it would entail considerable work to put on a carnival and most of the organizations of the town ‘will be busy on entrants in the parade it was decided not to have the carnival. Likewise the idea of taking part of the celebration out of town and having a water carnival at Lake Vera has died out due to several difficulties which presented themselves. At the! last meeting of the generpadl committee last. Friday evening a plan was proposed by which it is hoped to raise considerable money which can* be used for a nucleus of a fund to help promote the airport site on Cement Hill. Programs will be printed showing the list of attractions to be enjoyed during the course of the celebration. These will be sold for a nominal sum and the proceeds will go toward the airport fund. With the purpose of each program buyer will receive -a_ ticket which may be the one that will bring to him free of cost the ten-acre homesite and mining claim which was donated to the general committee by Carl Tobiassen. Finances Good. The finance committee rendered a PLANS FOR BIG FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION GATHERING STEAM airprt. report which -indicatesthat by the time they have collected on all the pledges they received from. citizens they will have the sum of $700 or thereabouts with which to pay the expenses of the celebration. It will take at least that amount to put on a good show and any money left over may be used for the promotion of the Vigilants to Act J; J. Jackson was appointed as chairman of a Vigilance Committee and he is quietly organizing his troops and believes that by next week. they will be ready to start a drive against all who have not allowed their natural crop of whiskers to TEACHERS LEAVE FOR . THEIR SUMMER VACATION With high séhook ec wees for the summer vacation the faculty, with the exception of principal and Mrs. Wilson have left for their various summer vacations. Prnicipal and Mrs. Wilson will spend the summer in Berkeley while Mr. Wilson attends the summer ses‘sion of the University of California.

Mrs. Ruth E. Hulan has accepted grow wunscraped.

Tobiassen has deof printed dodgers. Chairman Davies announced that he would give prizes of $2.50 each to the first man and first woman appearing upon the streets in regulation ‘49 costume. One candidate has come forward and probably will collect the mazuma if he sticks to it awhile. A letter was received from Eben K. Smart, secretary-manager of the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce ‘pledging his assistance and the help of the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce pledging his assistance and the help of the Grass Valley Cham' ber of Commerce to the celebration. The offer was accepted and a communication ordered sent to Mr. Smart thanking him for his proffered as-: sistance. The weather, which has been rather chilly for this time of year, has turned warm within the last few days and promises now to be of the regulation ‘“‘Fourth of July’’ weather. The hotter it gets the-warmer the excitement becomes and the more business the concessions will do, so let’s hope for fair and warmer. TRUSTEES HOLD SHORT SESSION WED. NIGHT The City Dads held a short session on Wednesday evening; only routine business being considered. The bills were examined and orderd paid.

On. their’300 foot level, on the foot wall. of their main ledge, they have found: values that assy $180 per ton in gold,, and from the appearance of things,. they believe they are in the close: proximity of a valuable ore body. The vein is a strong fissure veéin,. that has a good well defined foot. -width of over six feet. Drifting operations are being pro-secuted upon this vein, to the west,. and they are driving a crosscut, to pick it up to the east, with the hope: — and expectations of developing alarge tonnage of good ore. During: the past week Billy Genasci, the foreman, uncovered another new sur-~ face vein that had never been opened! up or discovered. This véin proved to be a 10 inch ledge of solid quartz that showed assay values of $160 per ton. These .are encouraging develop ments and it is the hope of every: pany may soon become one of Nevada County’s biggest and best producers. This company certainly de— serves success, and what Nevada City needs more than any other one; thing are more — operations.

The vein is a strong fissure veéin,. that has a good well defined foot. -width of over six feet. Drifting operations are being pro-secuted upon this vein, to the west,. and they are driving a crosscut, to pick it up to the east, with the hope: — and expectations of developing alarge tonnage of good ore.
