E. Stein saw what he thought was a baby doll semi-submerged in the old Excelsior irrigation ditch. When \he told Mrs. Stein of what he had seen, she went down to see it. and found hat it was the body of a new-born \baby boy. Coroner A. M. .Holmes were called immediately and as we go o press nothing is known of the ‘baby’s identity. ‘ Evidently the baby was thrown into the irrigation ditch somewhere below the, County Hostiital, near where the ditch ‘has its source. The body floated down the ditch until it lodged in some debris. wher it. was discovered. It was caught by the back on a board. There were no indentification marks, nor were there any signs of brutality. The body was wrapped in newspapers that were so old and water soaked that the date or printing was unreadable. The remains were removed to the Holmes Funeral Home. Sheriff Carter, Coroner Holmes and District Attorney W. E. Wright are investigating the case. . STATE FOREST RANGER WILL USE 100 MEN Single men, who would perhaps be otherwise unemployed, will be given. an opportunity to earn their board and lodging this winter by the California State Division of Forestry. Under the’ supervision of W. F. Sharp, state forest ranger in charge of Nevada county, 100 single men will be employed in clearing bursh and maintaining or re-opening old roads. This year, Work will be started by the middle of November. Men working will be furnished with food, clothing and tobacco. Last year 75 men were employed at this work and although not getting started until December 29th and working but 62% days out'of 90 because of the snows and rains, a very creditable record was established. 214 acres of brush and tim‘ber were cleared along the Downieville highway, the Newtown road, the Tahoe-Ukiah highway and the Banner-Nevada City road. A clearing 60 feet wide along the fire trail from the south fork of the Yuba river across to Grass Valley for a -distance of 5.1 miles was cut, as was the 50 foot. wide -cut for one half mile from [Indian Flat towards Cement Hiv. + “ In doing this work, the men made an average clearing record of 2770 square feet per working day per man, which is not too bad. This year, according to Mr. Sharp, weather permitting and with an earlier start, twice as much work should be accomplished. The 25 extra men will, of course, figure in the additional work. It will be interesting to note how the average work done per-man per day this year will compare with the record set las: yera. The California State“ Highway commission will again this year employ married men or men with families or dependants in repairing or building roads. Last year these men were paid $4.00 per day and worked a three day week, Residents of the Grass Valley district worked three days straight and then laid off for the next-three days while the residents of the Nevada City district district took up the good work. Using this stagger system of work, it was possible for the highway commission to distribute the work among twice as many men as is possible when working men six days a week. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Bolton of this city left last Sunday morning at 8:30 for Gustine, Merced county: There they visited Mr. Bolton's brother until Tuesday when they returned to Nevada City, driving the 175 miles by three o’clock in the afternoon. Mr. Bolton owns and operates the local 5, 10, & 15 cent store, His brother in Gustine owns the same kind of store. Bishop—-Work practically completed on grammar school addition which cost about $5,000. NEW ENGLAND GROUP . UNDER INVESTIGATION The representative of a_ well known and highly responsible eastern mining syndicate has been in Nevada City for the past few days examining réports, data, and making field investigation of the New England group of mines in the Gold Flat area just South of Nevada City. These properties include the New England and Sligo patented claims embracing some 3300 feet of lode line, with a. generally northerly strike; and the Mohegan and Gold Flat patents, with about the same ‘lenth of lode line striking in a general East and West direction, and intersecting the New’ England. Other surrounding and near by mining properties are associated with the foregoing in the examination at present being conducted. The New England is one of those mines which gave an excellent acera up to about 1880, but which has received practically no attention of recent years. It was noted for the remarkably highgrade character of its ore, and there are still many of the old miners who recall the specimen rock from the New England as being outstanding in their experience. It was owned by the Walrath Brothers and John V. Hunter, whose successful operations at the Providence Mine over a period of many years rendered the name of that property a watchword familiar in {. the annals of Nevada county mining. In the heavy winter of 1880-81, the mine was: flooded, and the Walrath interests abandoned -operations, intending to resume later with heavier pumps, but their plans were blocked by the loss of their personal fortunes. The mine lay idle until 1925, at which time the Nevada City Mining Development Association, the present owners, bonded the property to a company who sunk the shaft from the 800 to the 1000 level, at which point operations were unexpectedly terminated by failure in financing. A good vein exists in the bottom of the shaft, and there is said to be ample area of stoping ore betwen certain levels. With an excellent 1,000 feet, equipped with track, pump column and lead _ cable, the New England and associated properties, with their favorable geological situation in the diabase area adjacent to the slate and_ graodiorite contact of the. Nevada City basin, present a most favorable aspect as the key to a very decidedly attractive plan of mining development involving the whole Gold Flat section. The owners of the New England are local business people headed by £.: M. Rector, president; E. C. Uren, vice president; W. E. Wright, secretary; E. J. Ott, treasurer; W. E. Meservey, and W. B. Celio, directors. These gentlemen picked out the New England many years ago as being a winner, and with proper development in sight it is safe to say that their prediction will be realized. IMPROVEMENTS IN RR SERVICE ANTICIPATED W. A. Wenneson, traffic manager for the N. C. N. G. R. R. Co., dropped into our office Saturday of last week. He was working on business connected with the R. R. Co. and reports things looking up. He says his company will assume active management of the Greyhound Stage Line between Auburn and Nevada City about October ist and anticipates many improvements in the service as fast as the public patronage will permit. More of their plans will be announced later. shaft down NEW TWO. CAR-GARAGE HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED F. E. Burkhart this week completed a nice two car garage back of his property on Broad street. .

Mayo, assemblyman-elect from Calaveras county, was in Nevada-City this shaking hands and getting better acquainted with Nevada City people. Mr. Mayo’s majority over Berle Thomas of Placerville was 36 and he is well satisfjed with ‘the result. The Nevada City Nugget has particularly good reason to feel friendly to Mr. Mayo, who is a newspaperWhen Mayo called at The Nugget office he foundthe struggling with a linotype problem that threatened to tie up operations. Mr. Mayo took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and tackled the job with enthusiasm and without any hesitancy about soiling his hands or clothing and he soon had-the ‘“‘old-mill’”’—percolating. If Mayo tackles the problems of this assembly district as he tackled the linotype problem he will make one grand assembly man and we believe he will. During the campaign Mayo impressed all who met him as a cleancut, intelligent young. man who is absolutely sincere. After meeting Mr. Mayo again the editor of The Nugget feels that the voters of the assembly district elected the right man. As a newspaperman Mr. Mayu is familiar with the problems of the district and he is of the type who can be depended upon to do_ his level best for his district, without fear or favor. We’re for you Mayo, We believe in you and we’ll back you . up to the best of our ability. ! week man and all-around printer. whole force ‘STREET IMPROVEMENTS ‘BENEFICIAL TO CITY ‘Chief of Police Herbert Hallett is a busy man these days, as he is not only looking after the different departments of the city affairs, but he is supervising the building of a cement wall on lower Boulder street from the Sauvee property to the poperty of Robert Allen, a distance of about 100 feet. The side walk is now torn up and forms are being constructed for the wall. He also has a crew of men employed tearing up the old board walk leading to little Deer Creek on Nimrod street. Cement walls will be constructed to the old bridge which is unsafe and will also be replaced by one of cement. Both places have been dangerous for some time and this will be a great improvement. LOCAL DEER HUNTERS BRING IN NICE BUCKS The first ‘buck’ of the season was brought in Saturday morning by Bob Gates of Nevada City, a nice three pointer, and weighed 146 pounds. His brother, Vic, raised him one point and brought in a four pointer, however he fell down on weight, his weighing 125 pounds. well—those things will happen once in a while. Another member of the party, Tom Curry, brought in a nice three pointer -weighing 150. pounds and these were all placed in display at the Valley Meat Market where many people called to look over the kills.
