Snow-Balling ‘in the Glorious Climate of California. FUN THAT IS MOSTLY ONE SIDED. r Some People Enjoy It—But Many Do Not— Where the Sport Comes In—Likewise the Serious Results. Ah, there! Dodge there! Retaliate or run. How’s your eye? A. pistol protects. Carry an umbrella. Fun is fun, you know. Let up on the children. Sawyer should enjoin it. Take a man of your size. The police are powerless. The Chinamen do it;too; Carried beyond all reason. Even the ladies are afraid. Take it out on the anti-miners. Some men are overgrown boys. Tt even makes a christian swear. Stop swearing and have them arrested, Window glasses in several business, houses broken. The Transcript man had the side of his hat stove in, but he didn’t get mad. Hasn’t a man as much legal right. to throw a rock at another man as he has to knock him out with a snowball ? Snowballing between friends who are mutually agreeable is all right ; but to be banged in the head by a fellow you neyer saw before is another matter. A DIFFERENCE WHOSE OX IS GORED. “T don’t see why a man should make a fool of himself if he does get hit with a snowball.” So said a well-known citizen to a friend as they perambulated down Commercial street yesterday afternoon. While he was excitably defending the snow-ballers, he caught one of their missiles on the windward side of his cranium. As he picked up his battered tile and gouged the frigid debris out of his ear he suddenly experienced a change of heart. He is now a pronounced anti-snowballer. He brands snowballers~ generally as— Vandals, tained upon application at this office. It is the briefest one ever published in Nevada county. Gilbert Harris, the Grass Valley brute who so unmercifully beat his wife, has been sentenced to pay a fine of $75 or goto jail for 75 days. The ¢iuntry will be pained to learn that the Bee mén refuse to entertain the Transcript’s suggestion that they return immediately to Ireland. There was a nipping and an eager air night before last. The thermometer got down to within twenty degrees of zero, Things thawed outagain yesterday. ; All of the pestiferous valley spies have been called to Marysville to ‘appear before his majesty, Hon. Chas. E. Sexey, Esq. Just what he wants of them isnot known to the outside world, It took the omnibusses running between this. city and. Grass Valley about an hour and a quarter to. make the trip each way yesterday. They used three horses to each vehicle. The usual time is fifty minutes with two horses. Joseph Lee, the Grass Valleyan who met a Waterloo at Jim Rodda’s hands Saturday night, and Trevithick the wrestler, have surreptitiously skipped from Grass Valley. Itis alleged by the Tidings thateach of them owes about a $50 board bill at a hotel in that town. Several tons of refuse matter are gathered up in the streets of this city daily and dumped into Deer creek, which is recognized by the State of California as a navigable stream. Sawyer’s decision says no’ debris of any kind can be lawfully deposited in such streams. Heshould enjoin the Deer creek dumpers. —_—————-+2 @eFormer Great Storms. The preserit snow storm is by no means the worst that ever visited this section. On Christmas.Day, 1852, I. J. Rolfe, his brother, W. B. Ewer and James Churchman, came from Walloupa (half a mile below where You Bet now is) to this city. They came via Buena Vista, breaking their way through five feet of snow much of the way. On arriving here they found the snow to be about as deep as it was last Monday evening. The deepest snow Mr. ro remembers here was in December, 1853, when it was not less than three feet in depth.

He even goes so far as to carry a derringer, and says that the next party who heaves a snowball towards him will die with his boots on. He says that: snowballing is a good enough thing in theory, but that practically it is a relic of barbarism. HOW LOLA MONTEZ ESCAPED, I, J. Rolfe and the reporter yesterday had a chat about snow-balling. Mr. Rolfe related an interesting reminiscence of the winter of 1853. Lola Montez then lived at Grass Valley. When the big storm of that winter came, the fair Lola hired a team, sleigh and driver, and came to-this city for a ride. She had the driver take her whirling several times around the block bounded by Broad, Main, Commercial and Pine streets. As the turnout glided along men and boys commenced throwing snowballs at it. Lola took it-all in good part, and by her remarks incited them to throw more vigorously each time she came along. Finally several hundred pair of. hands were busy blazing away at her. She went around the block about five times, and then the balls flew so-thick she.could stand it no longer and ordered the driver to turn homeward. HE TALKED BACK. : Monday evening as Capt. Rapp was walking along Pine street he suddenly woke up to the fact that he was the target for some. pelters. He replied by fishing from his pocket a revolver and firing into the air, He gave the crowd to understand that_if hostilities did not cease at once, he would shoot again-and-not-so-high. He now the streets unmolested by the gang. Over 200 Idle Miners. The blockading of the Snow Mountain ditch on Monday and the consequent stoppage of the mills and hoisting machinery at the Nevada City, Providence, Wyoming and Mountaineer mines, has thrown over 200 miners out of work for the time being. . The pumps will be kept in operation by steam power. Yesterday afternoon the main ditch was reported to be reopened, but at a late hour the water had not reached the mines. 4 Good Day's §; rt. Ree At Sauvee’s ranch, near Blue Tent, aman killed 40 quails in a short time the other day.

Robert Curnow returns -to Graniteville today, provided: it does not storm {too hard. He will go as far as North Bloomfield by stage, and on snowshoes the balance of the way. Just after the oratorio Monday. evening, Miss Jessie Meek, who had a part as one of the Persians, wassuddenly taken ill and fainted. She was unconscious for some time and it took some vigorous work to restore her. W. C. Gray, teacher of the Columbia Hill School, is in town. His school has closed temporarily on account of thestorm, but will reopen as soon as the snow has disappeared to a sufficient extent to permit of the pupils getting from their homes to the schoolhouse. E. Williams, President of the Centennial drift’ mining company,-was snowed in at Colfax yesterday while going from San Francisco to the State of Nevada. He improved his time by running over here on the morning train and returning in the afternoon to Colfax, expecting that by the time he got back there the road would ‘be clear so his. train would go through. Mr. Williams was accompanied by W. J. Westerfield, of Dayton, Nevada, a former resident here. Forgot the Top-Knot. Carl Browne’s weekly publication known as the Illustrated Open Letter publishes a picture of Assemblyman Sims from this district. It i excellent likeness aside from. the fact that the artist forgot to put on the topknot which adorns the summit of the subject’s cranium. In speaking of Mr. Sims’ speech on the, felony slickens bill, Browne says: ‘“‘He made a noble speech against the bill, tempered at the same with feelings of sympathy for the farmers whose_ interests are so greatly injured by hydraulic mining. His remarks arose almost at times to supplication to to the Source of All for aid to devise or to direct legislation that would allow both industries to go omhand in hand like two brothers, gathering the yellow grain and the yellow gold to be sent along in the arteries of commerce and trade, enriching the world and developing civilization.” 1-2 @e-o— Getting P Posted. County ‘Assessor Bond is going to perform the duties of his office ina manner that will be very satisfactory to the people of the county and highly creditable to himself; or else appearances are deceptive. He is posting himself on the best methods of conducting the business as illustrated in other counties, and is combining all the desirable features to be. noted in them. He has recently een to Sacramento and had a long-interview with the State Board of Equalization, and there got much information that will beof benefit by facilitating his work and increasing the certainty of its being correct. The Central Pacific Blockade. A letter received at this ‘office from Colfax yesterday noon says: Two eastbound overland trains are here. They made up a train and the mail and some of the blockaded passengers went west on overland time, which is 4 0’clock’ A.M. The snow plow is at Towles’ station, 12 miles east of here, and is slowly working this way. We can get no word from there, but it will probably reach here some time today. TS ae: Housed With Cattle. August “Adnot, an. old prospector who lived alone in a cabin near the Godair ranch, was yesterday: admitted to the county hospital-on an order from Supervisor Mulloy. He has been in poor health for a long time, and since the storm began has been confined to his cabin where he suffered for needed comforts: “His cattle have been staying in the building with him of nights. wee Fixing For Coasting.

Price 25.cents, Carr Bros, CRYSTALLIZED COLD. of Nevada County. The Truckee Republican of last Saturday gives an interesting description of the ice gathering industry as pursued in the eastern portion . of ‘this county. It says: Truckee is THE ONLY POINT In the State at which ice can be produced, that is favored with good facilities of getting it to market. All of the ice houses along the Truckee river are so situated that their contents can be loaded directly into:cars and the Southern Pacific Company, by giving low rates, can deliver ice to any part of California, Nevada and Arizona, at prices which defy competition. Science hasinyvented aprocess for making artificial ice on the coast which: is nothing but a congealed vapor resembling snow, though in compact form. Exposed to the action af a warm atmosphere, it soon melts, and natural ice will last twice or three times as long as the artificial product. © Altho’ itis claimed that the latter can be manufactured at aless price than that for which ice proper can be delivered in the large cities, yet there has been no diminution in the demand for. the mountain fproduct; but, on the contrary, the demand has steadily increased from year to year as the quantity of ice sold in this vicinity will readily show. For example the ice crop on the Truckee river in 1880 amounted to about 30,000 tons, while this year the harvest will reach 75,000 tons, an incréase of over one hundred per cent. in six years. . There are’ in this vicinity EIGHT ICE COMPANIES, Engaged in the securing of ice for the market. The amount of ice put up by them this-year is as follows: Truckee Ice Co. . . 4,000 tons. Tahoe IceCo.... 18,000 Summit Ice Co-.:.;.81,000° “ Boca Ice Co. .... 4,000 “ Mountain Ice Co.. . 8,000 ‘“ Peoples’ Ice Co... 5,000 ‘‘ BroncolIce Co,. .,. 5,000.‘ Wotaligigclt: . isae: 75,000 The Nevada Ice Company. puts up no ice, but is paid a subsidy by the Union Ice Co. which is a combination of allthe above companies excepting the Tahoe and Bronco. HOW THE ICE 18 PUT UP. When the ice first forms, if the weatheris cold enough to make the ice freeze quickly, and remains cold for several days until the ice is. several inches in thickness, everything goes well; But sometimes the ice will form, and then will come a few days of warm weather or rain and the ice has to be sluiced out of the ponds and operations must commence anew. Assoon.as a snow storm comes, the snow has to be removed from the ice, as it will freeze faster when it is not covered, and they want to get the ice a foot in thickness‘as soot-as possible. It is removed by scrapers, which are large wooden scoops, drawn by one or two horses. Eke ice is not considered in conditian to cut until it is ten inches in thickness, In the cold nights, when the temperature is at zero, or below, the ice will gain about an inch in thickness. But there are always more or less ‘warm days, when it does not gain at all, so that generally it takes about a month from the time ice first forms until it isthick enough to cut, during which time it is kept free from snow. An acre of ice a foot in thickness will cut athousand tons, and as some of the houses will hold 20,000 tons, it will be seen that quite a large field has to be cultivated. When the ice is ready for cutting two lines are marked off upon it, at right anglesto each other. A cutter resembles a plow, having’ the same handles, but instead of having only one plow it has arow of them, one ahead of the other, and they cut into the ice about two inches each time the horses draw itacross the field. The cutters at first are guided by a flange which rests in the first line made, so that-all the lines are parallel to the first ones, These‘cutters travel back and forth, lengthwise and crosswise the field, until the ice is cut about twothirds through, and the surface of the field looks like a big checker-board. , THE HOUSES are immense. structures capable of holding from 5,000. to 20,000 tons of ice. They are constructed so that the heat . of summer will not_ penetrate them and melt the ice. Thereare two ways of getting the ice into the house, one by an inclined elevator reaching from the top of the building to the water and fitted with an endless chain driven by a steam engine, Cross bars attached to this chain and one end elevator being under water, as or ‘‘lags’’ come up they ma cake of ice which below the surface of the pond high dam. <A stream of water the carries the ice from the pond to a runway by which theice slides by force of gravity into the top of the building. A system of ‘‘runs’’ in the bulding carfurther end of the building one hundred andfifty feet away, perhaps, . where men with picks sieze it and deftly whirl it into its place. The ice business is one of our most important industries. Ice ia not a crop -that impoverishes the soil, but all it costs is so much clear gain to the section that produces it. The principal cost is for labor, and it is estimated ton about fer pc re bod rae at $15 perton. cents. It Gathering the Ice Crop in the Arctic Belt) * ries each block of ice rattling down the . . that $30,000 has been paid out this! t Aegan! in securing the crop. Thismakes $10 to Last Verichenaes of “Esther.” The unusual depth of snow on the sidewalks and the fast falling of more interfered to a demoralizing extent with the size ofthe audience that gathered i in the Theater Monday eve, ning to hear the final rendition of “Esther.” The performance passed off well; especially as to the solo parts of the program. Mrs. Welch gave a superb characterization in the title role, displaying to the best advantage the dramatic talent she is endowed with. She was also in good voice, and sang her part so as to win the heartiest approbation. Mr. Bixler had the part of the King, and he acted and sang it /with.a finish that could not be excelled. The other parts were all well, rendered. During the evening Mrs: H. G. Parsons favored the audience with a vocal solo, ‘The Flower Girl,” given in her usual artistic and pleasing manner, and responded to an encore with the pretty ballad. entitled “The Cows are in the Corn.”” Among the other special attractions were two songs by a male quartette consisting of Messrs. Bixler, Robbins, Werry ‘and Veal. These gentlemen sang admirably well in concert, and their quartettes gave great pleasure to the listeners, On the Weak ‘Side ‘This Time. The Wheatland Gr: Graphic says: “It is very evident that the anti-debris . people have been caught napping by the miners in the legislature. Every antimining measure yet presented to that body hag been sat down upon with a dull, sickening thud.” And every measure of the kind will continue to be 80 disposed of as long as reason and a sense Of justice, instead of blind passion and ignorant prejudice, govern the legislature. The people of the State are_at_last-waking up-to-the merits of the controversy and the rascality of certain members and employes of the Anti-Debris Association. TheMcWhorter trial gavean inkling of the game that has been so long played by some of the ringleaders of the war upon the miners, but an hundredth part of the corruption and blackmailing was .not exposed. If the full details-come to the surface they will create a sensation in the valleys. Superior Court. The following business was transactedin the Superior Court Saturday, Hon. J. M.

Trial A Costly Spree. Philadelphia Press: It isn’t every -yeung man, who can indulge ina $1,000,000 drunk, but the son of Senator Fair, of Nevada, did it the other evening in Washington, when he tried to shoot ex-Representative Page, of California, because the latter refused to take adrink.with him. Young Fair had been’ promised a cool $1,000,000 if he would go for a year without drinking, and had scored up seven months of the allotted time, but the temptation to go on a tear that would cost around million was too gliltering for his little mind, and he fell. Young Mr. Fair may never be a Senator or a hero, but generations will rise up and point to /him as a man whe treated himself to one of the costliest drunks on record. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at Carr Bros.’ Drugstore as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints.

County Superintendent Tiffany has had printed circulars of which the following is a copy, and will this week forward one to each public school teacher in the county : At our institute to be held in April or May, I respectfully request you, in common with all the other teachers in the county, to prepare and bring with you to the institute, exhibit work prepared by your pupils in their various studies. : The exhibits are to be the actual work of éach pupil. Penmanship, drawing, nuntber work, map drawi ing, diagraming, _composi. taken marked as you do every a ay in school, original designs, anythi ing and everything that your pupils can preserve and show on-paper, bring in) or send to me, and-‘T wHk arrange them for you in their place. Don’t say ‘‘my school can’t do well enough” or “this work enough to show,’’ The best your children can do is just what we want, and all we want. Who can do better? Have the work done on legal cap paper. Do not roll or fold the paper. All drawing should be made on drawing paper. Tack the same class work together at the top. Write on ‘the outside sheet the name of your school, or district, orthe grade you teach. Next your name. Then the name of the paper. After this the average age of the class. The object “of the cover or outside sheet is that any person going through can see whose work and what exhibit lies before him, at a glance. Therefore arrange-it-to suit yourself in the most attractive form. Your pupils will think up or original designs, and many things that will look pretty on paper, that will show, also, what they are capable of doing. Much i is said in Tavor of this. method of school work display. It gives the teachers from all parts of the county an opportunity to see and examine the character of work done in all the se hools, and to make comparisons. Parents will be greatly interested in examining the work wrought out by their own-children. The public generally, and especially those interested in the success of the public schools, will appreciate the exhibit work. The simple fact that the general school work is to be preserved and placed on exhibition, will be a strong incentive to children todo their best, continually, which is a grand thing to be attained. This is new to usin this county, 1 know, but that is what we need. We want more life and energy in our institutes. Let us not be afraid to depart from the old routines of practice, and to adopt new and progressive methods in our great work. I feel confident that you can make this scheme a source of great benefit to yourself, and a means of inspiration to your school, if you go ‘promptly at it. IT shall expect-every school in the county represented with some. sort. of school work. T have recently spoken to several of the teachers about what I wanted,and already some beautiful work has been prepared, I shall divide the county into four classes—Grass Valley and Nevada City each comprising a class. The outside schools with more than one teacher another class. schools another. If you do not wish to bring the work with you to the institute, you can send it tome the week before. I will have rooms set off at the Washington building and properly arranged for the exhibits. seersinaeoeneatias pst so ARE you made miserable by indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness, Loss of A »petite, Yellow Skin?

Dodge there! Retaliate or run. How’s your eye? A. pistol protects. Carry an umbrella. Fun is fun, you know. Let up on the children. Sawyer should enjoin it. Take a man of your size. The police are powerless. The Chinamen do it;too; Carried beyond all reason. Even the ladies are afraid. Take it out on the anti-miners. Some men are overgrown boys. Tt even makes a christian swear. Stop swearing and have them arrested, Window glasses in several business, houses broken. The Transcript man had the side of his hat stove in, but he didn’t get mad. Hasn’t a man as much legal right. to throw a rock at another man as he has to knock him out with a snowball ? Snowballing between friends who are mutually agreeable is all right ; but to be banged in the head by a fellow you neyer saw before is another matter. A DIFFERENCE WHOSE OX IS GORED. “T don’t see why a man should make a fool of himself if he does get hit with a snowball.” So said a well-known citizen to a friend as they perambulated down Commercial street yesterday afternoon. While he was excitably defending the snow-ballers, he caught one of their missiles on the windward side of his cranium. As he picked up his battered tile and gouged the frigid debris out of his ear he suddenly experienced a change of heart. He is now a pronounced anti-snowballer. He brands snowballers~ generally as— Vandals, tained upon application at this office. It is the briefest one ever published in Nevada county. Gilbert Harris, the Grass Valley brute who so unmercifully beat his wife, has been sentenced to pay a fine of $75 or goto jail for 75 days. The ¢iuntry will be pained to learn that the Bee mén refuse to entertain the Transcript’s suggestion that they return immediately to Ireland. There was a nipping and an eager air night before last. The thermometer got down to within twenty degrees of zero, Things thawed outagain yesterday. ; All of the pestiferous valley spies have been called to Marysville to ‘appear before his majesty, Hon. Chas. E. Sexey, Esq. Just what he wants of them isnot known to the outside world, It took the omnibusses running between this. city and. Grass Valley about an hour and a quarter to. make the trip each way yesterday. They used three horses to each vehicle. The usual time is fifty minutes with two horses. Joseph Lee, the Grass Valleyan who met a Waterloo at Jim Rodda’s hands Saturday night, and Trevithick the wrestler, have surreptitiously skipped from Grass Valley. Itis alleged by the Tidings thateach of them owes about a $50 board bill at a hotel in that town. Several tons of refuse matter are gathered up in the streets of this city daily and dumped into Deer creek, which is recognized by the State of California as a navigable stream. Sawyer’s decision says no’ debris of any kind can be lawfully deposited in such streams. Heshould enjoin the Deer creek dumpers. —_—————-+2 @eFormer Great Storms. The preserit snow storm is by no means the worst that ever visited this section. On Christmas.Day, 1852, I. J. Rolfe, his brother, W. B. Ewer and James Churchman, came from Walloupa (half a mile below where You Bet now is) to this city. They came via Buena Vista, breaking their way through five feet of snow much of the way. On arriving here they found the snow to be about as deep as it was last Monday evening. The deepest snow Mr. ro remembers here was in December, 1853, when it was not less than three feet in depth.

He even goes so far as to carry a derringer, and says that the next party who heaves a snowball towards him will die with his boots on. He says that: snowballing is a good enough thing in theory, but that practically it is a relic of barbarism. HOW LOLA MONTEZ ESCAPED, I, J. Rolfe and the reporter yesterday had a chat about snow-balling. Mr. Rolfe related an interesting reminiscence of the winter of 1853. Lola Montez then lived at Grass Valley. When the big storm of that winter came, the fair Lola hired a team, sleigh and driver, and came to-this city for a ride. She had the driver take her whirling several times around the block bounded by Broad, Main, Commercial and Pine streets. As the turnout glided along men and boys commenced throwing snowballs at it. Lola took it-all in good part, and by her remarks incited them to throw more vigorously each time she came along. Finally several hundred pair of. hands were busy blazing away at her. She went around the block about five times, and then the balls flew so-thick she.could stand it no longer and ordered the driver to turn homeward. HE TALKED BACK. : Monday evening as Capt. Rapp was walking along Pine street he suddenly woke up to the fact that he was the target for some. pelters. He replied by fishing from his pocket a revolver and firing into the air, He gave the crowd to understand that_if hostilities did not cease at once, he would shoot again-and-not-so-high. He now the streets unmolested by the gang. Over 200 Idle Miners. The blockading of the Snow Mountain ditch on Monday and the consequent stoppage of the mills and hoisting machinery at the Nevada City, Providence, Wyoming and Mountaineer mines, has thrown over 200 miners out of work for the time being. . The pumps will be kept in operation by steam power. Yesterday afternoon the main ditch was reported to be reopened, but at a late hour the water had not reached the mines. 4 Good Day's §; rt.

Just after the oratorio Monday. evening, Miss Jessie Meek, who had a part as one of the Persians, wassuddenly taken ill and fainted. She was unconscious for some time and it took some vigorous work to restore her. W. C. Gray, teacher of the Columbia Hill School, is in town. His school has closed temporarily on account of thestorm, but will reopen as soon as the snow has disappeared to a sufficient extent to permit of the pupils getting from their homes to the schoolhouse. E. Williams, President of the Centennial drift’ mining company,-was snowed in at Colfax yesterday while going from San Francisco to the State of Nevada. He improved his time by running over here on the morning train and returning in the afternoon to Colfax, expecting that by the time he got back there the road would ‘be clear so his. train would go through. Mr. Williams was accompanied by W. J. Westerfield, of Dayton, Nevada, a former resident here. Forgot the Top-Knot. Carl Browne’s weekly publication known as the Illustrated Open Letter publishes a picture of Assemblyman Sims from this district. It i excellent likeness aside from. the fact that the artist forgot to put on the topknot which adorns the summit of the subject’s cranium. In speaking of Mr. Sims’ speech on the, felony slickens bill, Browne says: ‘“‘He made a noble speech against the bill, tempered at the same with feelings of sympathy for the farmers whose_ interests are so greatly injured by hydraulic mining. His remarks arose almost at times to supplication to to the Source of All for aid to devise or to direct legislation that would allow both industries to go omhand in hand like two brothers, gathering the yellow grain and the yellow gold to be sent along in the arteries of commerce and trade, enriching the world and developing civilization.” 1-2 @e-o— Getting P Posted.

Price 25.cents, Carr Bros, CRYSTALLIZED COLD. of Nevada County. The Truckee Republican of last Saturday gives an interesting description of the ice gathering industry as pursued in the eastern portion . of ‘this county. It says: Truckee is THE ONLY POINT In the State at which ice can be produced, that is favored with good facilities of getting it to market. All of the ice houses along the Truckee river are so situated that their contents can be loaded directly into:cars and the Southern Pacific Company, by giving low rates, can deliver ice to any part of California, Nevada and Arizona, at prices which defy competition. Science hasinyvented aprocess for making artificial ice on the coast which: is nothing but a congealed vapor resembling snow, though in compact form. Exposed to the action af a warm atmosphere, it soon melts, and natural ice will last twice or three times as long as the artificial product. © Altho’ itis claimed that the latter can be manufactured at aless price than that for which ice proper can be delivered in the large cities, yet there has been no diminution in the demand for. the mountain fproduct; but, on the contrary, the demand has steadily increased from year to year as the quantity of ice sold in this vicinity will readily show. For example the ice crop on the Truckee river in 1880 amounted to about 30,000 tons, while this year the harvest will reach 75,000 tons, an incréase of over one hundred per cent. in six years. . There are’ in this vicinity EIGHT ICE COMPANIES, Engaged in the securing of ice for the market. The amount of ice put up by them this-year is as follows: Truckee Ice Co.. .. .. 4,000 tons. Tahoe IceCo....... 18,000 Summit Ice Co-.:..;..81,000° “

Boca Ice Co. ....... 4,000 “ Mountain Ice Co... .. 8,000 ‘“ Peoples’ Ice Co...... 5,000 ‘‘ BroncolIce Co,.. ..,. 5,000.‘ Wotaligigclt: . isae: 75,000 The Nevada Ice Company. puts up no ice, but is paid a subsidy by the Union Ice Co. which is a combination of allthe above companies excepting the Tahoe and Bronco. HOW THE ICE 18 PUT UP. When the ice first forms, if the weatheris cold enough to make the ice freeze quickly, and remains cold for several days until the ice is. several inches in thickness, everything goes well; But sometimes the ice will form, and then will come a few days of warm weather or rain and the ice has to be sluiced out of the ponds and operations must commence anew. Assoon.as a snow storm comes, the snow has to be removed from the ice, as it will freeze faster when it is not covered, and they want to get the ice a foot in thickness‘as soot-as possible. It is removed by scrapers, which are large wooden scoops, drawn by one or two horses. Eke ice is not considered in conditian to cut until it is ten inches in thickness, In the cold nights, when the temperature is at zero, or below, the ice will gain about an inch in thickness. But there are always more or less ‘warm days, when it does not gain at all, so that generally it takes about a month from the time ice first forms until it isthick enough to cut, during which time it is kept free from snow. An acre of ice a foot in thickness will cut athousand tons, and as some of the houses will hold 20,000 tons, it will be seen that quite a large field has to be cultivated. When the ice is ready for cutting two lines are marked off upon it, at right anglesto each other. A cutter resembles a plow, having’ the same handles, but instead of having only one plow it has arow of them, one ahead of the other, and they cut into the ice about two inches each time the horses draw itacross the field. The cutters at first are guided by a flange which rests in the first line made, so that-all the lines are parallel to the first ones, These‘cutters travel back and forth, lengthwise and crosswise the field, until the ice is cut about twothirds through, and the surface of the field looks like a big checker-board. , THE HOUSES are immense. structures capable of holding from 5,000. to 20,000 tons of ice. They are constructed so that the heat . of summer will not_ penetrate them and melt the ice. Thereare two ways of getting the ice into the house, one by an inclined elevator reaching from the top of the building to the water and fitted with an endless chain driven by a steam engine, Cross bars attached to this chain and one end elevator being under water, as or ‘‘lags’’ come up they ma cake of ice which below the surface of the pond high dam. <A stream of water the carries the ice from the pond to a runway by which theice slides by force of gravity into the top of the building. A system of ‘‘runs’’ in the bulding carfurther end of the building one hundred andfifty feet away, perhaps, . where men with picks sieze it and deftly whirl it into its place. The ice business is one of our most important industries. Ice ia not a crop -that impoverishes the soil, but all it costs is so much clear gain to the section that produces it. The principal cost is for labor, and it is estimated ton about fer pc re bod rae at $15 perton. cents. It Gathering the Ice Crop in the Arctic Belt) * ries each block of ice rattling down the . . that $30,000 has been paid out this! t Aegan! in securing the crop. Thismakes $10 to Last Verichenaes of “Esther.” The unusual depth of snow on the sidewalks and the fast falling of more interfered to a demoralizing extent with the size ofthe audience that gathered i in the Theater Monday eve, ning to hear the final rendition of “Esther.” The performance passed off well; especially as to the solo parts of the program. Mrs. Welch gave a superb characterization in the title role, displaying to the best advantage the dramatic talent she is endowed with. She was also in good voice, and sang her part so as to win the heartiest approbation. Mr. Bixler had the part of the King, and he acted and sang it /with.a finish that could not be excelled. The other parts were all well, rendered. During the evening Mrs: H. G. Parsons favored the audience with a vocal solo, ‘The Flower Girl,” given in her usual artistic and pleasing manner, and responded to an encore with the pretty ballad. entitled “The Cows are in the Corn.”” Among the other special attractions were two songs by a male quartette consisting of Messrs. Bixler, Robbins, Werry ‘and Veal. These gentlemen sang admirably well in concert, and their quartettes gave great pleasure to the listeners, On the Weak ‘Side ‘This Time. The Wheatland Gr: Graphic says: “It is very evident that the anti-debris . people have been caught napping by the miners in the legislature. Every antimining measure yet presented to that body hag been sat down upon with a dull, sickening thud.” And every measure of the kind will continue to be 80 disposed of as long as reason and a sense Of justice, instead of blind passion and ignorant prejudice, govern the legislature. The people of the State are_at_last-waking up-to-the merits of the controversy and the rascality of certain members and employes of the Anti-Debris Association. TheMcWhorter trial gavean inkling of the game that has been so long played by some of the ringleaders of the war upon the miners, but an hundredth part of the corruption and blackmailing was .not exposed. If the full details-come to the surface they will create a sensation in the valleys. Superior Court. The following business was transactedin the Superior Court Saturday, Hon. J. M.

Trial A Costly Spree. Philadelphia Press: It isn’t every -yeung man, who can indulge ina $1,000,000 drunk, but the son of Senator Fair, of Nevada, did it the other evening in Washington, when he tried to shoot ex-Representative Page, of California, because the latter refused to take adrink.with him. Young Fair had been’ promised a cool $1,000,000 if he would go for a year without drinking, and had scored up seven months of the allotted time, but the temptation to go on a tear that would cost around million was too gliltering for his little mind, and he fell. Young Mr. Fair may never be a Senator or a hero, but generations will rise up and point to /him as a man whe treated himself to one of the costliest drunks on record. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at Carr Bros.’ Drugstore as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints.

County Superintendent Tiffany has had printed circulars of which the following is a copy, and will this week forward one to each public school teacher in the county : At our institute to be held in April or May, I respectfully request you, in common with all the other teachers in the county, to prepare and bring with you to the institute, exhibit work prepared by your pupils in their various studies. : The exhibits are to be the actual work of éach pupil. Penmanship, drawing, nuntber work, map drawi ing, diagraming, _composi. taken marked as you do every a ay in school, original designs, anythi ing and everything that your pupils can preserve and show on-paper, bring in) or send to me, and-‘T wHk arrange them for you in their place. Don’t say ‘‘my school can’t do well enough” or “this work enough to show,’’ The best your children can do is just what we want, and all we want. Who can do better? Have the work done on legal cap paper. Do not roll or fold the paper. All drawing should be made on drawing paper. Tack the same class work together at the top. Write on ‘the outside sheet the name of your school, or district, orthe grade you teach. Next your name. Then the name of the paper. After this the average age of the class. The object “of the cover or outside sheet is that any person going through can see whose work and what exhibit lies before him, at a glance. Therefore arrange-it-to suit yourself in the most attractive form. Your pupils will think up or original designs, and many things that will look pretty on paper, that will show, also, what they are capable of doing. Much i is said in Tavor of this. method of school work display. It gives the teachers from all parts of the county an opportunity to see and examine the character of work done in all the se hools, and to make comparisons. Parents will be greatly interested in examining the work wrought out by their own-children. The public generally, and especially those interested in the success of the public schools, will appreciate the exhibit work. The simple fact that the general school work is to be preserved and placed on exhibition, will be a strong incentive to children todo their best, continually, which is a grand thing to be attained. This is new to usin this county, 1 know, but that is what we need. We want more life and energy in our institutes. Let us not be afraid to depart from the old routines of practice, and to adopt new and progressive methods in our great work. I feel confident that you can make this scheme a source of great benefit to yourself, and a means of inspiration to your school, if you go ‘promptly at it. IT shall expect-every school in the county represented with some. sort. of school work. T have recently spoken to several of the teachers about what I wanted,and already some beautiful work has been prepared, I shall divide the county into four classes—Grass Valley and Nevada City each comprising a class. The outside schools with more than one teacher another class. schools another. If you do not wish to bring the work with you to the institute, you can send it tome the week before. I will have rooms set off at the Washington building and properly arranged for the exhibits. seersinaeoeneatias pst so ARE you made miserable by indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness, Loss of A »petite, Yellow Skin?
