Railroad Reports Increase in Shipments During Month So far this month the Nevada Co. shipped more material into Nevada City than for’a like period for well over a year. In fact, according to Robert Paine, Nevada City station agent, the month of October to date has surpassed in import here, any other full month during 1932. Perhaps a major contributing fae tor to that record is the shipment to Nevada City of seven carloads of oil to be used on the Tahoe-Ukiah highway. All of the oil was used on the highway with the exception of four or five thousand gallons. It is understood that the remainder has been sold to. the city of Nevada. That oil, when applied with some crushed rock, will be a great help to some of the streets here. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT BODY IMPROVE GROUNDS The Nevada City His City High School student body has taken it upon themselves to install 80. bumper posts for automobiles on the south end of the school grounds ‘next to the highway. Forty: holes have been dug 30 inches deep and'shovel width. There are also forty posts averaging 10 inches in diameter by. five feet long laying alongside: of the holes. As soon as the first forty posts are installed, the second row of forty posts will be worked on. The rows of ,osts are planned to be about forty feet apart so that there will be plenty of room to maneuver the ‘cars around to their parking places. The work is being done by C. S. Arbogast and L. Williams, contractors of Nevada City. It is understood that later a cement sidewalk along the parking grounds will be put in. There is just a path worn in the dirt there now. The board of education, it is stated, is planning to spread 150 cubic yards of crushed rock over the park‘ing grounds of the high school. That amount of gravel will give the grounds a four inch coating of rock. OREGON CREEK MINE. EXPECTED OPEN SOON For the past two weeks the Oregon Creek mine has been closed down in order to arrange for electrical water power development. With arrangements nearing completion, it is expected that the mine will reopen within a week or so. The Oregon Creek mine, once known as the old Charlie Dennelly mine, is located about 10 miles east of Camptonville. There are 400 acres of gravel in the property, it is understood. For’ sluicing purposes water must be pumped 850 feet on a 85 per cent grade. Gravel in the district east of Camptonville runs in the neighborhood of 25 cents per yard. The Oregon Creek mine is owned and operated by a group of Sacramento mining men. PENNY BANDITS ARE ‘SENT TO COUNTY JAIL In the case of the young penny bandits who were brought to the county jail here last week—Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Graham and Miss Ethel Graham, the trio finally decided to plead guilty and therefore were sent. before. Justice of the Peace Walter Mobley Wednesday where they plead to their guilt in the local robbery. In the first place they were reluctant to plead to such a:charge and it would therefore have been necessary for them to be taken back to Truckee where. they were taken into custody some time last week. Théy were given 90 days each in the county jail and began to serve their respective sentences yesterday and it is to be hoped that the young folks have learned a valuable les. Pheasant Chasing is New Sport. in Nevada City At noon time yesterday F. F. Breese could hardly believe his eyes. For sitting under his car, “vhich was parked in front of his plumbing shop at 232 Commercial street, was a full grown Golden Pheasant. The passing pedestrians and automobiles did not seem to bother the bird at all. When Breese had fully recovered from his amazement, he started after the bird, for it was a beautiful thing to behold. It would have made a nice pet for anyone’s' backyard. But the ‘pheasant liked his freedom too well and had no intention of becoming a plaything in Breese’s back yard. So off down Commercial street the bird legged it. Breese was not far behind and was followed by several others who joined in the chase. There’s a picture for you— running down Commercial street —first the pheasant, second a police dog, then a-reporter, next a plumber and the rear was brought up by several other local residents. On the face of it that looked mighty bad for the pheasant, didn’t it? But the pheasant was a smart old bird, and as soon as the dog got within snapping distance, he took off in a graceful arch and winged his way beyond Assayer Ott’s office and over the Nevada City Garage, leaving the pursuers baffled and defeated. eyes. son.

Columbia Parlor of French Corral will be visited by the state officer on the afternoon of that day and Manzanita Parlor of Grass Valley will receive her visit on the evening of November 15th. Much merriment pervaded the meeting when the Hallowe’en spirit was manifest by the grotesque costuming of the officers on their a,pearance in the hall, the prevailing color of their headgear being yellow and black while the ornaments thereon ranged from black cats to black owls, from eyeless apples to eyeless pumpkins, while the variety of shapes of the chapeaus was baffling to any hat. stylist. When the regular meeting was over the members went down to the banquet hall where they were met by a “witch” standing beside a cauldron under which blazed a fire and each member had her fortune. told in the half-light of the banquet hall. The menu of the banquet was in keeping with the Hallowe’en season, pumpkin ,jie being the piece-de-resistance of the meal. On returning to the main hall competitive games were indulged in by the assembled members the first of these being a “potato game”’ planned somewhat after an Olympiad, the member who could remember 12 ‘‘Maggie Murphys” on a tablespoon and convey them singly to a bowl 10 feet distant in the shortest time was acclaimed the best sprinter and received a prize. Mrs. C. B. O’Connor carried off the honors. Carrying peanuts on the back of the hands proved unsuccessful for all but Mrs. Adale Tredinnick, who reached the goal with a cargo of 75 ,eanuts, havnig lost but two in transportation. The prize was hers. About forty members were in attendance and the efforts of the committee in charge of the affair, with Mrs. Mary Richards as -chairman, were warmly congratulated for their work in staging the party.

NEVADA CITY HIGH HAS GOOD BAND In an exclusive interview with Mr. L. E. Sweeney, leader of the Nevada City high school band, we gained knowledge of many interesting facts regarding this community organization. We will plunge right into the organization without further preliminaries. At present 30 pieces constitute the band. The brass section is well balanced but could use some more trombones and baritone clarinets. The band also needs drummers. Mr. Sweeney stated that one of the main problems in such an organization is to maintain a balance tu keep the bad progressing. Several concerts have been given with favorable results and they also have tended to keep the band members in ‘practice as well as giving pleasure to hearers. Most of the instruments are ,,rivately owned, but the school has bought some of the more expensive pieces. , Mr. Sweeney thinks that the esprit de corps of the band would be even better if the organization had uniforms and hopes to attain that goal by giving concerts, beginning about a month from now. The development of a full symphonie band of about 42 pieces is the aspiration nearest to the heart of all the members of the high school band. There is a possibility of an exchange of band concerts between the Nevada City band and the bands of other high schools, and the local organization is working with keen interest and are rehearsing for the season’s concerts. Some of the local civic organizations have assisted the band and this is very much appreciated. Mr. Sweeney is-a ca,able musician and leader and has had about ten years instruction at some of the best colleges of: music in the southwest. He has had actual experience since leaving school and is believed to be thoroughly qualified. Mr. Sweeney pointed out that none of ‘the members of his band have had more than two years experience, but are playing ‘4th grade music.

TO BEGIN ACTUAL WORK THIS WEEK Nevada Mining Co. Which Recently Bought Property Will Begin Production After two weeks of preliminary work on their properties here, the Silver Pick Mining company is. going to start real production work soon. The Silver Pick people have within the past few weeks acquired the group of properties consisting 0 the St. Louis, Le Compton, Federa Loan, Constitution and other adjoining mining claims. These mine are located about four miles eas of Nevada City beyond the Murchie mine. For the past two weeks, Lloyd L. Root, vice. president and general . manager of the Silver Pick Mining company, has had a few men at work on these mines under the direction of Phil Folck. By the end’ of this week Folck, as superintendent, has been authorized by Root to add 10 or 12 men to the working force on the mines. Folck is. a Grass Valley man, but for the past 18 months has been under Root as superintendent of a mine in Calis~ toga. Root is an eminent mining man in California and Nevada. Before’ Walter W. Bradley, Root was California mineralogist for many years. Because of the Silver Pick interests. here, he intends to return in about two weeks and make his permanent home in Nevada City. He is here now for just a day or two. In the past there has been approx~ imately $170;000 worth of development work done on the group of mines. This includes the sinking of shafts and the building of a modern 75-ton flotation plant on the St. Louis mine. Root says that this former development work will be utilized to the fullest extent. The mines are fully equipped and soon they will be running full blast. Work being done there now consists chiefly of power development. — With more men to be put to work in a day or so, these mines should be soon among the busiest in this camp. It is encouraging to see a live company, such as the Silver Pick Mining company, come to this dis. trict. It speaks more loudly than words can tell of the great mining possibilities around Nevada City. KOPP’S BAKERY HAS MODERN EQUIPMENT Some one once said ‘‘To do a thing uncommonly well brings success’’— and this seems particularly true in the case of one of Nevada City’s older business houses, namely: The house of “Kopp” one of the finest bakeries in the state in point of cleanliness, equipment and behind all this cold descriptidn lies one principle alwayg dominant in all the. detaiis—“‘We Use Only The Finest. ~ Ingredients That Money Can Buy.”’ The Nugget sent a special representative to interview the owners of the Kopp Bakery: an@ it was noted that there were carloads of the highest grade of patent flour, the best shortning and fresh eggs—-even the salt used was of ahe finest quality and also the water is almost 100 per cent pure.

TO BEGIN ACTUAL WORK THIS WEEK Nevada Mining Co. Which Recently Bought Property Will Begin Production After two weeks of preliminary work on their properties here, the Silver Pick Mining company is. going to start real production work soon. The Silver Pick people have within the past few weeks acquired the group of properties consisting 0 the St. Louis, Le Compton, Federa Loan, Constitution and other adjoining mining claims. These mine are located about four miles eas of Nevada City beyond the Murchie mine. For the past two weeks, Lloyd L. Root, vice. president and general . manager of the Silver Pick Mining company, has had a few men at work on these mines under the direction of Phil Folck. By the end’ of this week Folck, as superintendent, has been authorized by Root to add 10 or 12 men to the working force on the mines. Folck is. a Grass Valley man, but for the past 18 months has been under Root as superintendent of a mine in Calis~ toga. Root is an eminent mining man in California and Nevada. Before’ Walter W. Bradley, Root was California mineralogist for many years. Because of the Silver Pick interests. here, he intends to return in about two weeks and make his permanent home in Nevada City. He is here now for just a day or two. In the past there has been approx~ imately $170;000 worth of development work done on the group of mines. This includes the sinking of shafts and the building of a modern 75-ton flotation plant on the St. Louis mine. Root says that this former development work will be utilized to the fullest extent. The mines are fully equipped and soon they will be running full blast. Work being done there now consists chiefly of power development. — With more men to be put to work in a day or so, these mines should be soon among the busiest in this camp. It is encouraging to see a live company, such as the Silver Pick Mining company, come to this dis. trict. It speaks more loudly than words can tell of the great mining possibilities around Nevada City. KOPP’S BAKERY HAS MODERN EQUIPMENT Some one once said ‘‘To do a thing uncommonly well brings success’’— and this seems particularly true in the case of one of Nevada City’s older business houses, namely: The house of “Kopp” one of the finest bakeries in the state in point of cleanliness, equipment and behind all this cold descriptidn lies one principle alwayg dominant in all the. detaiis—“‘We Use Only The Finest. ~ Ingredients That Money Can Buy.”’ The Nugget sent a special representative to interview the owners of the Kopp Bakery: an@ it was noted that there were carloads of the highest grade of patent flour, the best shortning and fresh eggs—-even the salt used was of ahe finest quality and also the water is almost 100 per cent pure. The making of bread which walle is a prosiac procedure, becomes a bit of romance and one realizes that “Kopps bread is the staff of life.” The high lights of making these breads (¥es bréads) for there are man different kinds might be of interest. The flours used are first put into the blender where the flour thoroughly blended thence into and the other ingredients are added then dumped into the bread tro from which the dough goes to moulder and ig made into loaves. then to the condition box until it raised and then to the oven un becomes oe and git: : pans make.” . » And listen when cribe the doug! ies the likes of “Just lke srotiins is coming to Nevada City.
