NEVADA JOURNAL JANUARY 13, 1854 5
But this grand consolidated monopoly is not superior to public opinion and action, no matter how
strong it may feel itself. Let the merchants and other principal citizens of Sacramento, Auburn, Rough and
Ready, Grass Valley and Nevada sign an agreement to give their patronage and influence to any rival
company that will start a line between here and Sacramento, at the old or proper rates, and such a
company can drive out this monopoly. Our limited space will not allow us to pay further attention to this
subject, but we shall refer to it again at length.
[Blue Lead Mining District met January 10, 1854. Boundaries begin at Miller’s reservoir on the
eastern line of the Mancenita (sic) District, thence along the Deer Creek ditch to little Musqueto (sic)
creek, thence North to the summit of the ridge, thence following the same westerly to the eastern
boundary of the Mancenita District, thence along said boundary line to the place of beginning. Chairman
O. H. Cambridge, S. B. Worden secty. and recorder. ]
We learn that a meeting was held at Little York on the evening of Jan. 11th, to ascertain the
practicability of a wagon road from Little York to Steep Hollow. A committee of seven was appointed to
survey the proposed road, and report at an adjourned meeting.
The concerts given by the Negro Melodists the past week, were very popular and successful. The
“boys” got their pockets full, and furnished pleasant amusement at the same time. The benefit of Mr. Van
Rensselaer on Wednesday evening, went off well, and he had a good house.
FIRE.—A fire was detected on Sunday morning on the roof of [Stewart] & Searls’ office on Broad
street, ignited from the stove pipe. It was extinguished before much damage was done.
SMALL POX.—This disease is prevailing to some extent in town. Persons should be careful not to
incautiously enter houses were it exists. Those who have not availed themselves of the safe-guard of
vaccination should do so, as it is held by eminent physicians to be effectual. Too much care cannot be
taken to avoid this loathsome disease.
EXCELLENTLY WELL.—. .. We learn that a lady named Sullivan, living near Brush creek,
presented her husband the past week with a pair of fine girl twins, weighing in the aggregate 16 1/2
pounds. They and mother are doing well. This is the second pair of twins in that neighborhood, which is
honored with the name of Twinville.
The proceedings of a public dinner at Grass Valley in honor of the editor of this paper, on Tuesday
last, by his friends of both parties, are unavoidably crowded out [by the Governor’s message]. To his
many friends who participated in this gratifying demonstration, he proffers his sincere
acknowledgements.
The Grass Valley Telegraph, under the administration of Messrs. Oliver & Moore, has been
enlarged, and presents a beautiful appearance.
We are indebted to Mr. [A. W.] Potter for a lithographic view of Nevada, from a daguerreotype by
[George] Kilbourne, which far exceeds in accuracy and beauty anything of the kind heretofore published.
