At-the bottom-—of. the 500-foot shaft, drifts have been extended along the vein structure, for a distance of 400 feet either way. Thus far values encountered small. H. R. Plate, engineer and one of the owners of the mine, states that drifting will be continued during May, but about the first of June, if Values do not improve, he will sink the shaft 200 or 300 feet deéper and explore the vein again. from the bottom of the shaft on the 700 or 800-foot level, as the case may be. George Starr, a friénd of Mr. Plate, is eonsulting engineer for the mine. Both Mr. Starr and Mr. Plate feel hopeful of the finding of an ore have been chute, if not on the 500, at further depth. Mr. Plate states that geologists regard Spring Hill as one of the major veins of the district, unusually wide and well defined. In many respects it closely resembles in character of quartz and vein formation the tdaho-Maryland, which obtained ‘it first good values at a considerable . depth. The shaft is one of the older ones in the district. It was first sunk in 1866. In 1870 the property passed into the hands of the pioneer Lakenan family, who sunk the shaft deeper and did further prospecting without finding profitable ore. Mr. Plate is now associated with Mrs 6: B. Lakenan in further exploration of the mine and hopes to uncover an ore chute at depth. FIFTY MEN BUILD CC. C. CAMP AT N.BLOOMFIELD Fifty men are today working on the first barrack camp for the Civilians Conservation Corps to be-erected in the Tahoe National Forest area. The camp is located’ at Bloomfield.

Captain Biehl of the United States Army is in charge of the transfer and settlement of the men in. their camp and Leon G, Johnson is Forest Service camp superintendent. Henry Paine, mining man near Lake City, visited in Nevada City Saturday. “°° Py PHONE NUGGET FOR ELECTION RESULTS The Nevada City Nugget, which goes to press at 4 o’clock p. m. is unable to announce the results of the election, now in progress, on the question of ‘transferring the swimming pool fund of $10,000 to the water find. The telephone number of the Nugget is 36. All those desiring to. know the result of the election should call that number this evening, and aS soon as the count is completed, which should be by 6:30 o'clock. At press time the total number voted at the polls in the city hall was 318. This did not show the interest in the election that had generally been expected, for there are between 800 and 900 voters registered in Nevada City. TO THE VOTERS — OF NEVADA CITY By A. SEAMAN We are voting on the proposition of transferring the swimming pool funds to the water fund so as to enable us to renew the mains to the Canada Hill and Sugar Loaf reservoirs, and to make the needed improvements to our water service. You have already been informed of what these repairs and ineprovements. are. As a city trustee I did not want to ask the citizens for the money as we had already asked once and had been i refused. But the firemen, recoginizing the danger and their inability to protect the city from fire during the protracted cold spell and snow and shortage of water of the last winter, asked us to call this election and we have done.so. In addition to our water system there are other things that. require attention and that soon must be financed out of our general fund. Our sewer system is gétting old and is in need of replacements and repairs. The 11-inch main in Deer Creek, back of the National Hotel, is badly rotted and needs to be replaced. Near Gold Run bridge a long section of 6-inch main is in need of replacement, as is also the sewer near the fill on Washington street. No real survey has bee made of these, but I know of them. : Our City Hall is very shabby and we have postponed repairs until we are better able to make them. ‘ Our streets are a constant source of care, to keep the pavements we . have, in good condition, and to try and add a little more to them as we can. We have not had good luck with our streets, but I am confident that we will succed yet. I am not opposed to a swimming pool. In fact I was one of a committee of three from the city trustees that selected a site. The price was alright, the title was good, but why the deal fell through I do not know. If we have a pool I want ground enough for playgrounds, ball and tennis, for picnicking, as well as for a pool, so that those who do not care to swim, can use and it will be a year around affair, instead of just through the summer vacation. And . most important of all it should be on a running stream, pure, daily. We trustees are not holding back on the swimming pool to oppose the wishes of the people, but because conditions in our estimation do not justify the work at this time.’ If a suitable site is found there will not be any trouble to get a pool. If the voters see théir way clear to vote us this money we can put our. water system in good condition and we need not worry about our revenue producer, but can give our attention to other matters. So as to insure fresh, clean water, changed We trustees are doing the best we -}can for the city’s interest. We make mistakes, and I, for myself, am trying to make fond and to overcome them. sisal ‘If you will help us, we will ae grateful. df not we must carry on as best we can.

At-the bottom-—of. the 500-foot shaft, drifts have been extended along the vein structure, for a distance of 400 feet either way. Thus far values encountered small. H. R. Plate, engineer and one of the owners of the mine, states that drifting will be continued during May, but about the first of June, if Values do not improve, he will sink the shaft 200 or 300 feet deéper and explore the vein again. from the bottom of the shaft on the 700 or 800-foot level, as the case may be. George Starr, a friénd of Mr. Plate, is eonsulting engineer for the mine. Both Mr. Starr and Mr. Plate feel hopeful of the finding of an ore have been chute, if not on the 500, at further depth. Mr. Plate states that geologists regard Spring Hill as one of the major veins of the district, unusually wide and well defined. In many respects it closely resembles in character of quartz and vein formation the tdaho-Maryland, which obtained ‘it first good values at a considerable . depth. The shaft is one of the older ones in the district. It was first sunk in 1866. In 1870 the property passed into the hands of the pioneer Lakenan family, who sunk the shaft deeper and did further prospecting without finding profitable ore. Mr. Plate is now associated with Mrs 6: B. Lakenan in further exploration of the mine and hopes to uncover an ore chute at depth. FIFTY MEN BUILD CC. C.

The telephone number of the Nugget is 36. All those desiring to. know the result of the election should call that number this evening, and aS soon as the count is completed, which should be by 6:30 o'clock. At press time the total number voted at the polls in the city hall was 318. This did not show the interest in the election that had generally been expected, for there are between 800 and 900 voters registered in Nevada City. TO THE VOTERS — OF NEVADA CITY By A. SEAMAN We are voting on the proposition of transferring the swimming pool funds to the water fund so as to enable us to renew the mains to the Canada Hill and Sugar Loaf reservoirs, and to make the needed improvements to our water service. You have already been informed of what these repairs and ineprovements. are. As a city trustee I did not want to ask the citizens for the money as we had already asked once and had been i refused. But the firemen, recoginizing the danger and their inability to protect the city from fire during the protracted cold spell and snow and shortage of water of the last winter, asked us to call this election and we have done.so. In addition to our water system there are other things that. require attention and that soon must be financed out of our general fund. Our sewer system is gétting old and is in need of replacements and repairs. The 11-inch main in Deer Creek, back of the National Hotel, is badly rotted and needs to be replaced. Near Gold Run bridge a long section of 6-inch main is in need of replacement, as is also the sewer near the fill on Washington street. No real survey has bee made of these, but I know of them. : Our City Hall is very shabby and we have postponed repairs until we are better able to make them. ‘ Our streets are a constant source of care, to keep the pavements we . have, in good condition, and to try and add a little more to them as we can. We have not had good luck with our streets, but I am confident that we will succed yet. I am not opposed to a swimming pool. In fact I was one of a committee of three from the city trustees that selected a site. The price was alright, the title was good, but why the deal fell through I do not know. If we have a pool I want ground enough for playgrounds, ball and tennis, for picnicking, as well as for a pool, so that those who do not care to swim, can use and it will be a year around affair, instead of just through the summer vacation. And . most important of all it should be on a running stream, pure, daily. We trustees are not holding back on the swimming pool to oppose the wishes of the people, but because conditions in our estimation do not justify the work at this time.’ If a suitable site is found there will not be any trouble to get a pool. If the voters see théir way clear to vote us this money we can put our. water system in good condition and we need not worry about our revenue producer, but can give our attention to other matters. So as to insure fresh, clean water, changed We trustees are doing the best we -}can for the city’s interest. We make mistakes, and I, for myself, am trying to make fond and to overcome them. sisal ‘If you will help us, we will ae grateful. df not we must carry on as best we can.
