LIVE NEWSPAPER published in a live town. é VOL. VII, No. 8. The GOLD § Center NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA WILL TRY AGAIN TO WIN FROM. V Old Rivals Will Clash Again at Grass Valley High School Grounds Locals Will Make Every Effort to Reverse Decision in Today’s Game Nevada City high school gets her chance to-wipe out a 6 to 0 defeat today. Two weeks ago the Grass Valley high school football team came up*here and gave the local high school eleven a neat one touchdown pasteing. True, the margin of victory was very small, the lone] touchdown being made but five seconds before the end of the first haif. It was just barely made too. The fact remains that Grass Valley won the game and that fact has been sticking in the local school’s craw for the past fortnight. This afternoon at 2:30 in Grass Valley a return game will be played. It will be held at the high school grounds. Admission price is four bits and five times your money’s worth is guaranteed. Many local supporters have noticed that in contrast to their opponents light ‘and colored jerseys, the local team has worn the heavy white sweat shirts usually used oniy for warming up. This condition is being remedied and for today’s game the local boys will be wearing the light regulation football jerseys. These jerseys were procured thru local subscription. A Nevada City business man, seeing the need for jerseys, made a canvass of the business section and obtained the necessary amount from spirited local supporters. Not only will these jerseys look nice, but more important, they will be much easier on the players and will give them a freedom of play that they have not known heretofor. Niger Coach Bev Barron, has been working his charges hard all this week in prepartion for this big game. Workouts have been very promising in. results obtained. The boys are showing a lot of zest and zip and their spirit has been very good. A large part of the practice has been devoted to defensive work. Having played Grass Valley once already, the local team knows about what it can expect from their offensive drive. The ends have been getting down fast on kick all week. Continued stress on Blocking, tackling and clipping has been given by Barron this week. He is making sure that the boys will know how to do a job when the time comes. They have been responding well to the teachings and some of the shoestring tackles are refreshing to behold. Barron is well pleased with the results along that line. Several new plays have been developed for the special benefit of the Grass Valley.team. With those added to their. already fair sized bag ‘of tricks, the local boys have a dazzeling selection -of performaces to display. .Their coach has told them to “‘Shoot the Works’ and the results of the game rests in their hands. On defence, Barron is’ well satisfied that his team is strong enough to stand off the most determined Grass Valley attack. But on offence he is not so sure. Whether the line opens up holes large enough for substantial yardage gains remains to be seen. Last week the Grass’ Valley team lost a 19 to 0 decision to Auburn. The Nevada City team won a surprising victory over the highly toutfrom Fair Oaks last Friday, by the tune of 13 to 6. The six points that San Juan totaled was the direct re‘sult of a blocked kick. The ball bounded over the Nevada City goal line and a San Juan player fell on it for the first touchdown of the game. The that Grass Valley lost the last game and Nevada City won the last game may have some moral effect on the teams play today. It is easier to continue winning them than break a losing streak GEORGE LEGG’S BARN NEVADA CITY. ‘iseon George A.

The barn itself is a total wreck with just a skeleton of charcoal remaining upright. OIL STATION CHANGES HANDS IN THIS CITY Last Saturday Max Weiss retired from acitve duty at the Sandard Oil service station on upper Broad st. G. H. Cleland of Oakland has taken it over and is now continuing to operate it just as it Was operated under the Weiss regime. The same line of Standard Oil products will be sold and Cleland promises to give the best of service. Cleland has come here with his wife and small child. They are makking their home in Nevada City permanently. Mrs. Cleland is the Cees daughter of Ezra Meker the famous author and western pioneer. Meker was one of the first pioners of the state of Washington. It was he who first blazed the well known Oregon trail. He started that work in 1852 and continued it practically all of his life up until the time of his death in December, 1928. Meeker’s name was’ made through his writings. His works are referred to by historians as being authentic. His books are used in the public schools. Nevada City is glad to welcome permanent home-seekers such as the Cleland family. Frank Thurston Of Olympia Park Is Ill The general epidemic of ‘‘flue”’ which has been showing up here and there, struck Mr. Frank Thurston last Sunday and he was obliged to be on the sick list for awhile. His temperature took an upward turn and he suffered severe abdominal pain.

Nevada City has the advantage there. That advantage is BURNS 1 YESTERDAY} neutralized by ae fact that Grass Chapman Sharp MAKES DEAD CENTER. ON TELEPHONE POLE Residents of East Broad Street were aroused from their reveries Sunday afternoon by a loud crash and the clatter of broken — glass. Telephone wires were swaying merrily from the impact of a coupe of popular make which had been driven head on into a large pole as front of Ed Uren’s fence. The driver, who was overflowing from the effects of the cup ‘that cheers, had caromed off a smaller pole further down the street taking only a handful of slivers along with the top of his machine, but he made a dead center hit on the larger pole, with disastrous results. When he was extricated he had been driven half way through the broken windshield by the impact. but escaped with but minor cuts on the arms. The machine had wrapped itself snugly about the pole; the radiator hung suspended by the top tie rod and the headlights were looking every way but the way they should look. p The owner, now considerably sobered by his experience, ruefully examined his mangled car. He undertook to close one of the doors, only to have it drop off, and when traffic officer Blake arrived on the scene he had just finished sweeping the broken glass off the pavement and told the official that a “‘flat’”’ had caused the car to become unmanageable. Officer Blake however, failed to find the ‘flat’? and, pending further citation the driver was allowed to proceed homeward on foot. It is a misdemeanor to drive a car while intoxicated. The lives of innocent people are endangered and the penalties should be so severe as to put a stop to this class of offenders. Man Gets Badly Cut : Hand Cutting Wood Max Weiss, local war veteran, was cutting wood the other day. Holding the wood in one hand and cutting with the other, the axe slipped and severed several tendons in his hand. It was a bad cut and will lay Weiss up for quite a few weeks. Weiss is a retired master sergeant of the United States army. That position is the highest rank than an enlisted man can attain. Now Weiss is a member of the Banner Mountain post No. 2655, Veterans of Foreign Wars. He holds the rank of Quartermaster in the local post. N. SAN JUAN MAN LOSES LIFE LONG KEEPSAKE Sixty three years ago, in Switzerland, John Schnellman was playing with some explosive powder that. he had found somewhere. John was then a small “boy “of eleven years: Something went wrong and the powder exploded. John’s hands and face were badly burned and some flying glass cut him in severai places on the face. ; Time healed the wounds and when young Mr. Schenellman was3 older he left his native land. For years he traveled all over the world and finally he settled down in North San Juan, Nevada County. The other day a pain came to Mr. Schnellman’s left check just below the check bone. It pained him for several. days and he finally asked a miner friend, working near San Juan to take a look at the cheek. Upon inspection, his friend found the jagged point of a piece of glass sticking out from the cheek. Taking a firm hold_on the point; the friend gave a yank—and zip came a piece of glass fully three quarters of an inch long from the cheek. __ For sixty-three years that piece of glass had been imbedded in Mr. Schnellman’s face. Since the wounds from the explosioh had healed up, he had felt no pain in his cheek, until about a week ago. When the glass was taken out it did not hurt and since then it has caused no trouble. So the glass that Mr. Schnellman has carried around with him for nearly all of his life and carried many thousands of miles from one side of the earth to the other is now gone.

WHONOR PIONEERS WITH BRONZE TABLET Impressive Ceremonies Are Attended by Large Crowd Wednesday Morning Members of Laurel Farlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, of this city felt a thrill of civic pride when they assembled with a large number of their fellow citizens last Wednesday morning in front of the court house to dedicate to the memory of the pioneers of this community an‘ artistic bronze tablet which had been placed upon the oldest brick structure in Nevada City just a few days previous to the ceremony. Opening the program came the inspiring music of the Nevada City high school band. While the band played the Star Spangled Banner the North wind carried in unison, it would seem, the folds of the American flag -which was displayed on the lawn of the court house rendering a harmony to the patriotic strains of the band. The donor of the placque, Mrs. Brainard of Sacramento, is a niece of Dr. Jamieson who practiced medicine in Grass Valley several years ago. In a speech which was full of deep sentiment for the honor of contributing to this city a fitting marker to designate the early building, the only building which survived the disasterous fires which swept the city in the early “fifties’. Mrs. Brainard paid lofty tribute to the brave pioneer band that trecked these hills and valleys and builded the foundation of our own present progressive city in the high Sierras. In a graceful speech Mrs. Neva Pianezzo accepted the placque on behalf of the citizens of Nevada City and in memory of their pioneer forefathers. Judge Jones introduced §= Mrs. Anna Mixon Armstrong, of Woodland, then formally dedicated the placque and in her official capacity of Grand President of the Native Daughters. She followed with the explanation that the covered wagon which is in raised outline on the marker is a symbol of the tradition of the perilous days of the emigrant coming west to later found our Empire. Judge Jones made the principal speech of the day, dwelling upon the building, faith that the future of these was not ephemeral but would endure for generations yet unborn. The band then played America, the assembled citizens joining in community singing in happy conclusion of ceremonial truly edifying and bearing out the reverence for the pioneers which is the cardinal principal of the Native Daughters of California. GOLD STANDARD MINE. YIELDS GOLD NUGGETS L. C. Brayton of the Gold Standard Mining Company.came in from his property in the Steep Hollow district, which is east of Nevada City about twelve miles. Mr. Brayton has owned a considerable acreage for several years and in his latest discoveries found the channel extended into the Marty property and has leased a part of that property. The old tunnel had caved in several places and it was decided to drive another one. At this time the tunnel is in 1,000 feet. He has taken out about $50 a day when working, but it has been his intention to drive ahead and strike the main channel. EDITOR. BUILDING PAPER fost VISITS NEVADA CITY Cc. D. LeMaster ,editor of the Western Building “Review, published at Sacramento ,was a visitor in Ne‘vada City this week, the guest of Fred E. Conner, manager of the Nevada County Lumber Company. Mr. LeMaster ,in commenting on business conditions, was not overly optimistic about the immediate future and, in his opinion, it will take some time to bring about any great improvement in-conditions througheut—the United States. — However, Mr. LeMaster believes that Frankin his powér to initiate fundamenmiles of highway on the Wisman Fullback .

Martin. learned of her passing on Tuesday of this week after an illness of several weeks duration. In fact Mrs. Martin had failed noticeably since the death of her husband in 1927.1 Mrs. Martin was a native of England, born there in 1849, and coming to California, was married to W. H. Martin, June 24, 1874. The whole of their married life was spent in Nevada City, where Mr. Martin was engaged in mining, owning a mine at one time near Sierra City. He was also interested ‘in what is known as the Mayflower mine now owned by M. Ivan Dow. Later on Mr. Martin ran what is known now as the Miner’s Foundry, which is still conducted by the family. : Mrs. Martin had old age, having golden anniversary of her wedding here in 1924. She was known and loved by all of the older residents having payed a part in the community affairs for many years. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Richard R. Goyne and Mrs. Betty Martin West, a sister, Mrs. A. Mills of San Francisco and a son W. R. Martin, and several nieces and nephews in England. The funeral was held here Thursday morning from the Holmes Funeral home and in accordance with Mrs. Martin’s wish, was private. The Nugget joins with host of friends and neighbors in extending sympathy to the breaved family FRANK ROWE WINS CLOSE FIGHT IN SECOND DISTRICT It took a count of ane of tie absent voters ballots to decide the supervisorial right in the second district which embraces Grass Valley. There were 83 absentée ballots to be counted and this work was completed Wednesday of this week. The final result gave Frank Rowe a total of 1,351, while Harry Goudge totaled 1,345, giving Rowe ‘a majority of 6 votes. It must be very hard on the office seeker these days who is running a close race as he is-liable to have his props knocked out from under him just when all looks like smooth sailing. In the final count before the absent ballots were counted it looked good for Goudge that is he hadsa lead of 12 votes over his opponent and then along comes this absent vote count and ‘‘Whooey’’. the result looks altogether different. The final count in the First District gave Carey S. Arbogast 924 votes and R. A. Eddy 609. SKI CLUB CARD PARTY WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL Last duceday econ evening, the benefit card party put on in the Elks Hall by the Nevada City-Grass Valley Ski Club, was very. successful from both a social and a financial standpoint. Miss Bernice Clemo and Mrs, Lolived to’ a ripe celebrated the FROM NEW YORK; Story in Collier’s Magazine Brings Young Man to Nevada meth! Make Easy Money in California Last Wednesday a big strapping young fellow, early thirties, stopped in at the Ne~ vada City Chamber: of Commeree, asked Mr. O. W. Woodman where he could go to work and pan apparently and ‘some gold out of the rivers. After telling the stranger that if he knew where he could get gold such aa the man was looking for, he would be there digging Woodman asked where the idee came from about easy gold. The following story was. told te Woodman. This young man, of Italian parentage, had a good jok in New York state at fifty dollars a month. About two months ago he read an article about the easy gold to be found along any river or im any of the hills of California. The article had appeared in the Collier’s magazine ,a publication of nation= wide circulation. The article, which was gross exageration, told in detaif about how easy it was.to pan gold from the California streams. It said words to the effect that~-all of the miners and snipers working the riv~ ers were making between three and seven dollars a day on an average. It gave the impression that the work Was easy and the returns plentiful. To inexperienced people, the artiele made California look very rosy, @&pecially in this so-called depression of work. ™ In protest against the exageration. Commerce sent a letter to the Collier’s magazine people asking them to correct the false impression given out by the article. As yet no ansfailed. to make a corretcion in their publication. They perhaps are interested in sending the unemployed people of the east to California this: winter so that they will be a burden on us and not on eastern people. After reading Collier’s exagerated story, the young New Yorker decided to quit his job and go te sunny California. He had an automobile and cashing in all his assets could count $250.00 in cash. With of weeks later he landed in the lower mother lode district. From there he has traveled up to this city and here he wanted to know from Woodman where he could: go and pan gold. true conditions here, that even am experienced man averages not more than 50 cents a day working the rivers. la Worth were largely responsible for the good work. They did most of the actual work and deserve a lot of credit for the able manner in which they staged the party. The Ski Club should be very grateful for the effort expended in their behalf. Prizes as announced in the Nugget last Monday were given to the following: Whist: Ladies: first prize: Mrs. Nettie Meyers, Grass Valley; second prize, Sadie Sinecock, Grass Valley; Mrs. Wm. Southern, Grass Valley; Consolation, Men: F. O. Tompkins, first; Nevada City, and R. H. George, second, Grass Valley. Mah Jong: Mrs. A. W. Hoge, first Mrs. R. J. Bennetts, second.

SAN JUAN MAN LOSES LIFE LONG KEEPSAKE Sixty three years ago, in Switzerland, John Schnellman was playing with some explosive powder that. he had found somewhere. John was then a small “boy “of eleven years: Something went wrong and the powder exploded. John’s hands and face were badly burned and some flying glass cut him in severai places on the face. ; Time healed the wounds and when young Mr. Schenellman was3 older he left his native land. For years he traveled all over the world and finally he settled down in North San Juan, Nevada County. The other day a pain came to Mr. Schnellman’s left check just below the check bone. It pained him for several. days and he finally asked a miner friend, working near San Juan to take a look at the cheek. Upon inspection, his friend found the jagged point of a piece of glass sticking out from the cheek. Taking a firm hold_on the point; the friend gave a yank—and zip came a piece of glass fully three quarters of an inch long from the cheek. __ For sixty-three years that piece of glass had been imbedded in Mr. Schnellman’s face.

Martin. learned of her passing on Tuesday of this week after an illness of several weeks duration. In fact Mrs. Martin had failed noticeably since the death of her husband in 1927.1 Mrs. Martin was a native of England, born there in 1849, and coming to California, was married to W. H. Martin, June 24, 1874. The whole of their married life was spent in Nevada City, where Mr. Martin was engaged in mining, owning a mine at one time near Sierra City. He was also interested ‘in what is known as the Mayflower mine now owned by M. Ivan Dow. Later on Mr. Martin ran what is known now as the Miner’s Foundry, which is still conducted by the family. : Mrs. Martin had old age, having golden anniversary of her wedding here in 1924. She was known and loved by all of the older residents having payed a part in the community affairs for many years. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Richard R. Goyne and Mrs. Betty Martin West, a sister, Mrs. A. Mills of San Francisco and a son W. R. Martin, and several nieces and nephews in England. The funeral was held here Thursday morning from the Holmes Funeral home and in accordance with Mrs. Martin’s wish, was private. The Nugget joins with host of friends and neighbors in extending sympathy to the breaved family FRANK ROWE WINS CLOSE FIGHT IN SECOND DISTRICT It took a count of ane of tie absent voters ballots to decide the supervisorial right in the second district which embraces Grass Valley. There were 83 absentée ballots to be counted and this work was completed Wednesday of this week. The final result gave Frank Rowe a total of 1,351, while Harry Goudge totaled 1,345, giving Rowe ‘a majority of 6 votes. It must be very hard on the office seeker these days who is running a close race as he is-liable to have his props knocked out from under him just when all looks like smooth sailing. In the final count before the absent ballots were counted it looked good for Goudge that is he hadsa lead of 12 votes over his opponent and then along comes this absent vote count and ‘‘Whooey’’. the result looks altogether different. The final count in the First District gave Carey S. Arbogast 924 votes and R. A. Eddy 609. SKI CLUB CARD PARTY WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL Last duceday econ evening, the benefit card party put on in the Elks Hall by the Nevada City-Grass Valley Ski Club, was very. successful from both a social and a financial standpoint. Miss Bernice Clemo and Mrs, Lolived to’ a ripe celebrated the FROM NEW YORK; Story in Collier’s Magazine Brings Young Man to Nevada meth! Make Easy Money in California Last Wednesday a big strapping young fellow, early thirties, stopped in at the Ne~ vada City Chamber: of Commeree, asked Mr. O. W. Woodman where he could go to work and pan apparently and ‘some gold out of the rivers. After telling the stranger that if he knew where he could get gold such aa the man was looking for, he would be there digging Woodman asked where the idee came from about easy gold. The following story was. told te Woodman. This young man, of Italian parentage, had a good jok in New York state at fifty dollars a month. About two months ago he read an article about the easy gold to be found along any river or im any of the hills of California. The article had appeared in the Collier’s magazine ,a publication of nation= wide circulation. The article, which was gross exageration, told in detaif about how easy it was.to pan gold from the California streams. It said words to the effect that~-all of the miners and snipers working the riv~ ers were making between three and seven dollars a day on an average. It gave the impression that the work Was easy and the returns plentiful. To inexperienced people, the artiele made California look very rosy, @&pecially in this so-called depression of work. ™ In protest against the exageration. Commerce sent a letter to the Collier’s magazine people asking them to correct the false impression given out by the article. As yet no ansfailed. to make a corretcion in their publication. They perhaps are interested in sending the unemployed people of the east to California this: winter so that they will be a burden on us and not on eastern people. After reading Collier’s exagerated story, the young New Yorker decided to quit his job and go te sunny California. He had an automobile and cashing in all his assets could count $250.00 in cash. With of weeks later he landed in the lower mother lode district. From there he has traveled up to this city and here he wanted to know from Woodman where he could: go and pan gold. true conditions here, that even am experienced man averages not more than 50 cents a day working the rivers. la Worth were largely responsible for the good work.
