NEVADA CITY MAN HAS RICH QUARTZ GROUND One of the ‘most “promising quartz prospects being developed recently in this district is the rich lode mining claim, located about eight miles North of Nevada City, on what is presumably a continuation of the Hoge ledge. George W. Erway, mining man of this city, has done considerable prospecting and development work on this new prospect. He has traced the ledge for 4,500 feet on the surface and has staked four full quartz claims to the best advantage. The ledge runs North East and South West and is about four miles Northeast of the Hoge mine. The ledge is from 26 to 30 inches in width and is composed of a sulphide ore. Assays have run from a low of $2.60 per ton, to a high of $167.76 per ton. The average runs in the neighborhood of $11:00 per ton. The composition of the country rock is slate and icici tic altered dirite. Good all year around roads lead to the property. Plenty of water and timber abound the land. Erway has sunk a shaft 40 feet deep on the ledge which continues strong from the grass roots. There is an abundance of water in the country rock on the hanging wall side of the ledge. The country rock on the foot wall side of the ledge is dry except where the water from the other side of the ledge runs over the top of the ledge and flows down from the top. This fact gives every indication that the ledge is a very deep one. It was not deep, the water would flow under the ledge. As the prospect runs on a hillside, Erway has developed a syphon system for draining the water from the shaft. SILVER PICK PLANNING ELECTRIC MINE POWER The Silver Pick Cpnkelidased. Mines Corporation have started work .on a pole line that will bring electric power to their group of quartz mings, located about four miles east of Nevada City on Deer “Creek: Besides power for the mill now located on the Bela Fountain mine, the new company to this district will need power for a water pump, a hoist and an air compressor, Phil Folick, a Grass Valley man, is in charge of the work and it is expected that he will b emine superintendent when actual mining work begins. Mr. Lloyd L. Root, Vice President of the Silver Pick ‘Company, visited the mine Wednesday from his offices in San’ Francisco. Root later expects to locate permanentely in Nevada City so that he will be in closer contact with the work at the mines. Corning—Plans being drawn for new hig h school gymnasium to be erected soon. FAREWELL PARTY GIVEN TO FORMER RESIDENT Last Friday afternoon, Mrs. Mabel Eddy of Grass Valley gave a farewell party and tea for her daughter, Miss Beatrice Eddy _ of Oakland, Miss Eddy had been visiting with her mother and friends for a two week period. She returned to Oakland’ Friday evening where she is staying with her uncle sand aunt, Mr. and Mrs. James Rodda, formerly of Grass Valley. Guests for the afternoon included Miss Helen Rodda, Mrs. Bernice Richardson, Mrs. William Harris, Miss Elsie Lucy and Miss Joyce Richardson. Refreshments were served in the afternoon and all bid the visitor farewell. FRATERNAL BODY DATES WAY BACK CAMPTONVILLE, Oct. 27. It has always been believed that the E. Clampus Vitus, a pioneer fraternal organization, long extinct, which was revived here last, spring, was purely a western product, having been originated in the early day mining camps, but now it is learned that such was not the case. A member of the reconstructed order at San Francisco has recently come into possession of ‘an old minute book of a Chaptér of the BE. Clampus Vitus or Knights of Honor for the year 1849 at, Metropolic City, Illinois. The book is complete and also shows that other orders existed then and prior to that time at New Orleans, Athens, Alabama, St. Louis, Mo., etc., thus showing that the first revival of the order in the modern era took place in the south rather than in the Wést as was otherwise supposed. CANDIDATE TO VISIT ALL TEN COUNTIES Believing that a representative in. the state legislature can better serve his district by having first hand information on the problems of the district, Jesse M. Mayo, nominee for Member of Assembly, 6th district, afthough without ,opposition, has announced that we will visit every one of the ten counties of the district before election day. Mayo will meet with as many people as possible and discuss their Problems concerning ‘the various counties and the district as a whole. “As the district contains 80,000 people, it will be impossible to see everyone.” said Mayo, ‘and I would be pleased to hear from all those who may have suggestions concerning. our district.”” Mayo’s address is Angels Camp, where he pub‘lishes a newspaper. Fruitvale—Two miles four-inch 'pipe line being laid along Rosedale Highway, from Fairhaven field -to Hohawk Petroleum Company’s Te ‘finery here. —_. DIADEM-MINE UNDER WATER 30 YEARS NOW BEING WORKED Located just the other side of the hill (a mile and a quarter to be exact) from the famous Sixteen to One mine, the old Diadem mine has been idle and under water for the past thirty years. It is near Forest City and just three miles from the big strike recently made by the Sierra Development Company. About a year ago this abandoned Mine was taken over by the interests represented by Whitman Symmes, . mining engineer. The ledge had been found by gravel men working in the old days. They had followed the ledge down to the 250 foot level where it was abandoned because of the belief that it was just a pocket proposition. It will be remembered that the Sixteen to One was abondened bacause of the same belief. Recently enough work has been done in the Forest~ City district to prove that most of it is not a pocket country. Symmes, associated with q 'M Cass of San Francisco, unwatered the shaft, retimbered and widened it down to the 250 foot level and did a lot of preparatory and development work .during the past year. Cass, who is heavily interested in the project, makes the trip to the mine from San Francisco at least twice a month. Both men have great faith in ‘the value of the proposition. Records show that ore values of $1,000.00 per ton were taken out of the Diadem shaft. The ore was treated at the old El Dorado mill. The old-timers quit work at the 250 foot depth because of the uncontrolable amount of water coming in and because they were convinced that they had taken most of the values out of the “pocket.” Just recently the men have contacted the vein which shows very rich high grade. The shoot was found in place just as the past history of the mine said that it was left. It is thought that it may bea continuation of the very rich Sixteen to One mine vein. ‘The arsenical sulphides run five per cent, while assays show that the ore being worked on now averages $240.92. The vein as ‘it is exposed now shows a width of from eighteen inches to three feet. At that rate we now have another new-old mire that will rank with the most famous. Production work is now being done in two directions. It is being breasted from the 250 foot level to the surface and the shaft is being sunk from the same level. . There is 80 feet of gravel from the surface down to the beginning of the ledge. People who have courage enougin to start work where the old timers have abandoned it because of hardships certainly deserve a lot of cred< it. The Diadem people have struck it and their mine will undoubtedly be listed among the big mines in this district soon. STEAK BAKE AT MILLS COLLEGE LODGE GIVEN Last evening a delightful ‘Steak Bake” was given at the Mills College Lake Vera Lodge ‘for the Nevada County teachers. Nearly all of the county teachers who have been attending the institute meetings held at the local high: school this week were in attendance. A great deal of jolly fun was had by the educators. The “Stake Bake” served as sort of let up after the busy institute week. Mrs. Cassidy, who is head of the Physical Education department at the Mills College Lodge, gave the use of the lodge to the teachers as a special favor this year. This was the first time that the. lodge has’ ever been given over to an outside function and will probably be the “Mr. Kjorlie, Nevada City high school principal, was instrumental in putting the event over in a big way. : ; LEAVES NEVADA CITY Robert L.

HOLD MEETING THIS WEEK State Central Committee Man . Visits Local Central _ Committee MEETING HELD MONDAY Dr. Waller Advocsten Election of Hoover as Essential for Recovery The Republican national cam paign was brought home to Nevadi county this week by the visit of Dr. William H. Walker ,of the Repub-— lican State Central Committee, who spent a couple of days in Nevada City and Grass Valley. Mr. Walker is man of experience in politics and national affairs. He was* active in organizing the first farm bureau.and has spent a great a deal of time in Washington, D. C. ‘ Mr. Walker also has been in Europe — ~ and is therefore conversant with world conditions. During his stay in Nevada City, Mr. Walker called _at the Nugget office and from him we got the Republican oe in the coming election: Mr. Walker’s arguments in favor of the Republican national ticket are the same arguments that most people have heard over the radio recent speches of President Hoover and we have not the space to elaborate on them. However, we believe: Mr. Walker is absolutely sincere in believing that the best interests orthe country demand the reelection . of President Hoover. With this the editor of the Nugget does not agree, ¢ but we listened to Mr. Walker withinterest an dfound him to be a manof intelligence and sincerity. One statement made by Mr. Walk-er has a local bearing and that ‘is re-garding the gold standard. He said that if the Democratic effort to inflate the currency of the United States had been successful it would have had a very adverse effect in districts which depend on gold mining. That may be trud, but since We are not thoroughly familiar with all the arguments on this question we will leave that to the best judgment of those who read and study this question. ~ Monday evening a méeting of -the Nevada County Central Committe¢ was held at the library building The following are members of the committee:: T. W. Richards, W. lL. Mobley, J. F. Cooley,.R. E. Deeble of Nevada City; Fred J. Carter, T. M. Harris, Luke Harris, C. B. Grenfell, Stanley Bavier, W. T. Terrell, Oscar L. Coffman, L. Williams. NEVADA CITY VS GRASS. VALLEY NEXT SAT, A week from tomorrow, Saturday November the fifth, the big. game _ will be held. Don’t forget the date. Nevada City high school will send her first football team in six years against her arch rival for any honors, Grass Valley high school. The Place will be Cashin’s field, just the other side of the local ae school. about a quarter mile, f Grass Valley appears to. have a slight edge as they tied Placerville 0 to 0 wheras the local boys lost 6 to. 0. But excitement is already at a fever pitch at the local school and if determination means ‘ anything, — ' Nevada City will be victor. Nt ae In the game last Saturday, the. locals displayed a world of and power in downing Auburn to 0. They used only straight foot— ball in that game and failed to ef : the Grass Valley scouts any on what deceptive play they are known to possess.

DIADEM-MINE UNDER WATER 30 YEARS NOW BEING WORKED Located just the other side of the hill (a mile and a quarter to be exact) from the famous Sixteen to One mine, the old Diadem mine has been idle and under water for the past thirty years. It is near Forest City and just three miles from the big strike recently made by the Sierra Development Company. About a year ago this abandoned Mine was taken over by the interests represented by Whitman Symmes, . mining engineer. The ledge had been found by gravel men working in the old days. They had followed the ledge down to the 250 foot level where it was abandoned because of the belief that it was just a pocket proposition. It will be remembered that the Sixteen to One was abondened bacause of the same belief. Recently enough work has been done in the Forest~ City district to prove that most of it is not a pocket country. Symmes, associated with q 'M Cass of San Francisco, unwatered the shaft, retimbered and widened it down to the 250 foot level and did a lot of preparatory and development work .during the past year. Cass, who is heavily interested in the project, makes the trip to the mine from San Francisco at least twice a month. Both men have great faith in ‘the value of the proposition. Records show that ore values of $1,000.00 per ton were taken out of the Diadem shaft. The ore was treated at the old El Dorado mill. The old-timers quit work at the 250 foot depth because of the uncontrolable amount of water coming in and because they were convinced that they had taken most of the values out of the “pocket.” Just recently the men have contacted the vein which shows very rich high grade. The shoot was found in place just as the past history of the mine said that it was left. It is thought that it may bea continuation of the very rich Sixteen to One mine vein. ‘The arsenical sulphides run five per cent, while assays show that the ore being worked on now averages $240.92. The vein as ‘it is exposed now shows a width of from eighteen inches to three feet. At that rate we now have another new-old mire that will rank with the most famous. Production work is now being done in two directions. It is being breasted from the 250 foot level to the surface and the shaft is being sunk from the same level. . There is 80 feet of gravel from the surface down to the beginning of the ledge. People who have courage enougin to start work where the old timers have abandoned it because of hardships certainly deserve a lot of cred< it. The Diadem people have struck it and their mine will undoubtedly be listed among the big mines in this district soon. STEAK BAKE AT MILLS COLLEGE LODGE GIVEN Last evening a delightful ‘Steak Bake” was given at the Mills College Lake Vera Lodge ‘for the Nevada County teachers. Nearly all of the county teachers who have been attending the institute meetings held at the local high: school this week were in attendance. A great deal of jolly fun was had by the educators. The “Stake Bake” served as sort of let up after the busy institute week. Mrs. Cassidy, who is head of the Physical Education department at the Mills College Lodge, gave the use of the lodge to the teachers as a special favor this year. This was the first time that the. lodge has’ ever been given over to an outside function and will probably be the “Mr. Kjorlie, Nevada City high school principal, was instrumental in putting the event over in a big way. : ; LEAVES NEVADA CITY Robert L.

HOLD MEETING THIS WEEK State Central Committee Man . Visits Local Central _ Committee MEETING HELD MONDAY Dr. Waller Advocsten Election of Hoover as Essential for Recovery The Republican national cam paign was brought home to Nevadi county this week by the visit of Dr. William H. Walker ,of the Repub-— lican State Central Committee, who spent a couple of days in Nevada City and Grass Valley. Mr. Walker is man of experience in politics and national affairs. He was* active in organizing the first farm bureau.and has spent a great a deal of time in Washington, D. C. ‘ Mr. Walker also has been in Europe — ~ and is therefore conversant with world conditions. During his stay in Nevada City, Mr. Walker called _at the Nugget office and from him we got the Republican oe in the coming election: Mr. Walker’s arguments in favor of the Republican national ticket are the same arguments that most people have heard over the radio recent speches of President Hoover and we have not the space to elaborate on them. However, we believe: Mr. Walker is absolutely sincere in believing that the best interests orthe country demand the reelection . of President Hoover. With this the editor of the Nugget does not agree, ¢ but we listened to Mr. Walker withinterest an dfound him to be a manof intelligence and sincerity. One statement made by Mr. Walk-er has a local bearing and that ‘is re-garding the gold standard. He said that if the Democratic effort to inflate the currency of the United States had been successful it would have had a very adverse effect in districts which depend on gold mining. That may be trud, but since We are not thoroughly familiar with all the arguments on this question we will leave that to the best judgment of those who read and study this question. ~ Monday evening a méeting of -the Nevada County Central Committe¢ was held at the library building The following are members of the committee:: T. W. Richards, W. lL. Mobley, J. F. Cooley,.R. E. Deeble of Nevada City; Fred J. Carter, T. M. Harris, Luke Harris, C. B. Grenfell, Stanley Bavier, W. T. Terrell, Oscar L. Coffman, L. Williams.
