This section is especially interested in the Governors choice as Mining Chief. The Nugget received the assurance from Consolidated which is{ the Governors office that whosoever . received the appointment would be one who thoroughly understood the problems of. the mining industry. The orginal bill creating the Mining Commission was handled by Assemblyman Seawell while Patterson handled that one as to oils. They plant is! decided that the bill would be handled more efficiently by combining the two and whereas Assemblyman Pata os terson was Chairman of Ways and Means Committee and could get it is now in Nevada County procuring local support and securing lists of worthy undeveloped mines. Their plans are very extensive and include the placing of attractive gold exhibits in desirable locations in the business streets of Chicago, Detroit, New York and other eastern financial centers. : _ The exhibits will consist of a miniture stamp mill or model mine in one . window and a hydraulic mine in the ‘other. Specimens of quartz showing. ‘free gold will be displayed to attract th attention of the public. { Mr. Smith claims that visual degold mines is the best means to create interest. He contends rightly af~ iter this interest is shown that only, expert salesmanship ; past prejudice against mining invest. ments and show the public means of . securing good mines and developing them along business principles in’ opposition to the old methods of . stock selling. He plans to have these exhibits in charge of men of ability and experience who by permonstrations of the products of the}. can overcome, That some people-have unbounded faith in the future of Nevada City is becoming evident. Besides the reconstruction of the high school building several other homes and building are under construction and some are already under way. Among; them are the, two modern bungalow buildings being constructed by JuHus Rude, on property owned by him in the vicinity of the high school. 25 ’ Believeing there is a demand for completely furnished . modern up-to-. date three room bungalows he is} preparing to meet that demand.

The Longpoint channel was located near the site of the old Jupiter mine from which more than $2,000,000 in gold is said to have ‘been taken. : The strike made on Saturday, ended a 10-year search for the channel in which hundreds of thousands of dollars were invested by dozens of operators.
