250 NOVEMBER 20 & 27, 1857 NEVADA JOURNAL
Saved.—We learn that A. J. Alston, of the firm of Alston, Newman & Co., of this city is among the
list of saved from the Central America.
Fatal Accident.—A German named Hoffman, in the employ of [Emil] Weiss died yesterday morning
from the effects of injuries received the evening previous. He was riding in a lager beer wagon
with three other countrymen, when the horses took fright and while running Hoffman with
others threw himself from the wagon and received injuries in the fall which terminated fatally.
Another man named Kaiser, from Rough and Ready had an arm shattered in leaping from the
wagon. The accident occurred near Tilley’s mill.
The Youth of Nevada.—The census of school children, between the ages of 4 and 18 years was
recently taken in this township with the following result: Boys, 146; Girls, 141. Total, 287.
NEW HOTEL.—Frisbie proposes to open a hotel after his own style on Monday at the old place. He
knows how to keep an A No. . house, as any old resident can testify, and that he will do it the past is
sufficient evidence. See his advertisement.
FRISBIE’S EXCHANGE.
FRISBIE & RICE, Proprietors.
The subscribers would respectfully inform their friends and patrons that they have returned to their old
stamping ground and business, and will open on Monday next a Hotel which they will not allow to be rivalled. The
well known building at the Junction of Main & Washington streets, has been thoroughly finished and furnished
throughout in magnificent style and will be thrown open to the public as
A Hotel on the Restaurant principle!
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1857 .
COUNTY FINANCES.—We are glad to see that our article of last week on the finances of the
county has awakened some attention. It is an auspicious event in the history of the county that for once an
interest is taken in her financial affairs. Hopes begin to arise that a better order of things is about to be
inaugurated.
The Grass Valley Telegraph of Saturday asks a few pertinent questions of “someone in authority,”
concerning county affairs. As it will be some time before a complete official report can be made out and
published, we attempt to anticipate a portion of its contents to gratify the laudable curiosity of our
cotemporary, tax-payers, and scrip-holders.
To the question, “Do our officials know the true condition of our county finances,” we reply that
they do not exactly. There has been no intelligible system of keeping the accounts of the county practiced
by former county officials. The fire also disarranged affairs in such a manner that it is impossible to
ascertain except proximately what old scrip may be outstanding, unregistered on the present Treasurer’s
books and unredeemed. It is not known to a certainty what amount of Court House Bonds are outstanding
to a fraction or even as near as one thousand dollars. But proximately we are enabled to tell the amount on
the county books from data furnished us from the County Clerk’s office.
We learn from the same source that politely furnished us information last week, that more of the
Court House Bonds had been redeemed than was at first made evident, by $4,972, which will reduce the
debt of the county to about $144,937.50.
The Zelegraph wants to know how the debt has grown to such a figure. We will give the items.
