Seawell in the assembly’ election last Tuesday. With the handicap of running independent against a Republican nominee, all party. lines were thrown aside as the votes rolled up a handsome majority of 836 votes in Nevada county in order to put friends of the mining industry at Sacramento. The -majority was. a handsome tribute to ‘‘Jerry’’ and we predict that he*will make a _ wonderful record as assemblyman. Seawell carried 33 out of the 44 precincts in the county by majorities running well over 100 in some of the precincts. Both Nevada City and Grass Valley did nobly, Nevada City showing a majority while Grass Valley rolled up 433 to the good .The Truckee contingent went to the bat heavily for the in‘cumbent as was expected but valiant work was done therein cutting down the size of the opposing vote. Placer county about balanced up its vote so that the Nevada county vote was about the deciding. factor. Roseville with its heavy railroad vote was the deciding factor. Roseville with its large railroad vote and the organization back of the incumbent made an uphill fight there. The Placer county newspapers with one exception lined up with the incumbent which put Seawell at a disadvantage but his personal popularity: showed to good effect. TRS. AMANDA RAPP HAS ANSWERED SUMMONS Mrs. Amanda J. Rapp, relict of the late John A. Rapp, passed away Thursday at her Sacramento street home after a brief. illness. She had eaught a cold while returning from San Juan’ Basista where. she had been visiting. She was a native of Oregon and was 77 years of age past. : More than a half a century ago she taught in Potter Valley in Mendocino county and last year attended a reunion given by former residents of that county. She came to Nevada City more than 40 years ago and married. Surviving is one son, George Rapp, of Susanville, an adopted daughter, Mrs. Edith Solari, and two brothers, Win Elliott of Medford, Oregon and William Elliott of Stockton. Mrs. Rapp was widely respected for her many virtues. She was an ernest member of the Methodist faith. and Mrs. George Neagle left Mr. for Oakland yesterday to send the Armistice holiday with their son George. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Grenfell of Sacramento were up to spend weekend with her sister, Mrs. Wm. Davey. Mr .and Mrs. Bradley Legg came up from Berkeley Saturday, bringing with them Mrs. Mary Rossen who had been visitin gthere. Fred J. Joubert and Mrs. Acton M. Cleveland of Camptonville were here Thursday. Miss Ruth Grimes of Sacramento visited her mother, Mrs. M.

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Davidson have had as a guest their daughter, Miss Erla, who is attending business college in Richmond. In the mass of information given out by The Nugget on election night, was a_ mighty array of figures from all over the country. It might be stated that. the telegraph company was fortunate in having an old time newspaper telegrapher on the wire to transcribe the figures as they came in, in the person of E. M. Lewis, local manager, who could doubtless tell many .a story of his earlier days in the game, MINING LOCATIONS ARE _ PLACED COUNTY RECORD The following are the mining claims filed for record the past week. — Big Bend No. 1 placer claim in Quaker Hill Mining District by F. J. Nash, J. L. Coyle, Amy C. Aubury, A. Adams, Eric Lyders, J. W. Homer, Wynn M. Pond and John E.

HOOVER STARTED CAREER AT THE REWARD MINE The Reward mine in Nevada City; which is one.of the properties in the Western Mines Consolidated negotiations, was the scene of the first “job” of Mr. Herbert Hoover, the President-elect. Recently in recalling the matter, Mr. Hoover stated to a fellow engineer that he had received $2.00 a day and when he was not manipulating a transit, he was pushing the ore ear on the surface. He recalled with a great deal of satisfaction his relations with the Nevada City camp and among other things he recalled that he made a survey of the workings of the Mayflower mine which is not far from’ the Champion in this district. Mr: Hoover roomed in the former Joe Fleming house when he was working here and there are a number of people about town who remember Mr. Hoover well. xp, CITY OF SIX MINE HAS © INTERESTING HISTORY The story of the City of Six mine in Sierra county has prompted the following in’a Sacramento ‘paper: The City of Six is the original of a mine described in Canfield’s book; The City of Six, which purports to be an historical narrative of the early mining days in Sierra county. According to the Canfield version, four strangely assorted men of the gold rush days became partners at the City of Six, and for a time dug out big returns. Romance and tragedy are interwoven. While names are fictitious, the leader of the partners is purported to later have figured as one of the Comstock magnates. The story tells of the payshoot being host and the disintegration of the partnership. During the later years many attempts were made to rehabilitate the property, but it has never regained its historic importance. ENGELBRIGHT EXCHANGES MESSAGES WITH HOOVER One of the telegrams reaching President-elect Herbert Hoover early on the day following election was from Congressman Harry L, Englebright, who filed his message over The Nugget leased wire at 12:30 a.m. and read as follows: Hon. Herbert C. Hoover, Palo Alto, California. Nevada City, the locality of your first mining experience rejoices over your election. Allow me to extend my personal hearty congratulations on your wonderful victory. Harry L. Englebright, M. C. Second California District. Only a few hours afterwards came this telegram from Mr. Hoover: Palo Alto; Calif., Nov. 7, 1928. Congressman Harry L. Englebright, M. C. Second California District, Nevada City, Calif., I deeply: appreciate the word of congratulation and. encouragement which you send me, : Herbert Hoover.

The vein has been uncovered for a distance of 200 feet up the hillside from the spot characteristics of being a strike of large proportions. Pannings taken show strong colors. It had been intended ‘to erect a Huntington mill to handle the devel. opment work but the present strike may cause the erection of a small stamp: mill instead. The Kennebec which is owned by the Paine brothers is one of the promising properties of the district. POWDER EXPLOSION AND BURNS KILL ARNOLD UNGER ON YESTERDAY Arnold Unger died at the Nevada City Sanitarium at 10 o'clock last night as the result of burns received from a powder explosion and fire at the old Norton house on the road leading fromPine Grove cemetery to Deer creek.

The Ancho is under option to the Yellow Tiger Consolidated. Gordon M. Bettles is secretary and general manager. : HANDSOME VOTE IS FOR OUR CONGRESSMAN The handsome complimentary vote given Congressman Harry L. Englebright throughout his large district is evidence of the high esteem in which he fs held by his’ constituency. He has been receiving many commendatory remarks for the splendid vote given him. He is easily one of the outstanding legislators sent to Washington from the Pacific Coast and his _ political sun is far from reaching its meridian height, in fact great things are possible in his: future career. EDDY AND ROBERTSON WIN FOR SUPERVISOR One new face will appear on the board of supervisors with the election of Alex Robertson of Hobart Mills over Charles Hope of Truckee in the fifth district.

A small admission charge has been made and the proceeds go to the church. SPORTSMANLIKE? In the recent campaign a state ment was generously circulated by papers friendly o the incumbent assemblyman’ that\it was -unsportsmanlike for anyone to run independent after the Republican nomination has been secured. Now for ages past it has been deemed quite sports manlike for the loser to congratulate the winner in an election. Has anything like that been done in the assembly race? Not that anyonc could hear. Isn’t it a great layout for the friends to have to swallow that their candidate was built or such lines that she couldn’t extenc a greeting to her opponent? Haw haw, it is to laugh.
