Today the number is approximately 2,600. The reason for increased activity in the mines is chiefly the advance in the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce. The advance in the price of gold is due to the advance in the. world price which compelled the Administration at Washington to raise the price to the world level. It is well known that some of the mines in this district were shipping their gold to the London market before this was done, or before the embargo was laid on gold shipments, an imperative . measure, while the price of gold was being upped. In three years the gold ,gutput of this county has been increased from $5,000,000, roughly to what, at the) end of this year,: will probably prove to be more than $7,500,000. In, oth--ey words. a 50 per cent increase in sold production. -The end is not in 5 ght. Mines in the Nevada City-district have yet to be proved at the depths attained in the Grass Valley pean Gold bearing veins in the ““Kileghany district are being tested ‘to see whether or not the “Sixteen-to-One is the only one of its kind in the world. Exploration is ‘going forward at a rate not witness-ed in this county for many decades. ‘This is due mainly to the fact that for the first time in many years, ‘mining investors have the means and the incentive to do SEPlOTAtOrY work. It is apparent that the main factor ‘in all our local prosperity is the advance in the price of gold. And a little inquiry among our citizens indicates that they thank the Administration at Washington for this increase. The fact that world price of gold had risen makes no difference. A magician reached into: his silk hat, and presto! the price of gold popped up $15 an _ ounce, Some Pennsylvania Dutch still believe in their hexerei. Along the peat bogs of Ireland live a people who still believe in ‘‘the little people’’—elves But of course,, what “would have been’ really surprising, would ‘have been the refusal of the President of the United States tv recognize the fact that the world ‘price of gold -had advanced, or, recognizing it, a refusal to advance the price in the United States. We like to recall certain American types that have occupied the White House. Andrew Jackson and his forthright speech and actions, General Grant and his quiet unalterable determination, Theodore Roosevelt and his love for his countrymen, his audacity and over-riding will. Many think that crucial times produce the man to cope with them. We are not sure that this is ‘true, As events have turned out, we ‘ao not believe President Wilson was the right man to cope with condisions of the ‘world war. On the other ‘hand Abraham Lincoln was undoubtedly the only man in America who could have preserved the Union. History, at least seems to accord him that great distinction.

Hassie is charged with interfering with an officer. ditions. He is swayed by his friends and influenced by his upbringing. His actions are as inconsistent as thoseof other men.

PHEASANT SHOOTING RESULTS IN $50 FINE A. H. Willard, captain of the fish and game commission in this district; received a tip that a car of dove hunters with a certain license number, contained two young pheasants, freshly killed. Mr. Willard traced the car to the business establishment of G. L. Kummes in Grass. Valley and found the birds in a water cooler in the beer parlor. The law violation carries a $50 fine or 25 days in the county jail. Kummes refused to divulge the names of his friends or pay the fine and the officer brought him to the county seat, charged him with having pheasants in his possession, and locked him up in jail late in the afternoon yesterday. Kummes claimed when: his friends found out his predicament they would pay the fine. In about a half hour four or five young men of Grass Valley appeared at the court house and paid the $50 fine, releasing _ Kummes. Captain Willard states there are a lot of young: pheasants throughout the district, but that the season does not open until November 15. poral Hitler and Reporter Mussol-SPECIAL MEETING OF COMMERCE CHAMBER SOON Due to Monday being Labor Day President Fred E.

The fire department responded promptly but the fire had gained headway rapidly and the fire fighters were soon forced to center their efforts on saving the adjoining property.

COUNCIL HEARS CITY DOG POUND DISTURBS PEACE The city council met last evening with two members absent, Mayor Ben Hall detained at home owing to the illness of Mrs. Hall, and Karl Kopp on a vacation in Yellowstone Park. Mrs. Carl Trevethick of Spring street appeared before the board to complain that her son had been fined $10 disturbing the peace with an open motor exhaust, while every night the peace of herself and nighbors was disturbed by the howling doge awaiting execution in the city pound, by shots being fired mornind and night, when the dogs were executed, and: by swarms of ‘flies which gathered when ‘burial of dead dogs was. delayed. The city council promised that this nuisance would be abated, but declared she would have to see the justice of the peace regarding remission or reduction of the fine incurred by her son. An application was received to install in the vacant Nevada City Tavern a “skilled amusement’® enterprise. The amusement consists of an electrical roulette: wheel, a large number of them in fact, before which the players sits and gamble their pennies on the rouge et noir. They donot however receive money when their “skill” in stopping the wheel wins. They are given tokens which may be traded for merchandise at the business houses. Agent for the enterprise declared that it had made a hit in Imperial and in Balboa. The council referred the applicant Nevada County Sends Fine Exhibit to Fair W. H. Griffith and L.

Ore was secured from all working properties in the county. Several of the new mines are sending fine specimens. Among them were the Gracey Glencoe and Ragon in the Nevada City district. This ore was on display in the Chamber of Commerce windows in Nevada City several days and created much favorable comment. Mr. Griffith has also secured a number of gold nuggets from the bank vaults in Nevada City that were mined from gravel properties and will also be on display. A large van took the exhibit to Sacramento today in order to get it in the booth for the opening day tomorrow.
