GRASS VALLEY TELEGRAPH JUNE 26, 1858 145
. SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1858 .
JUNE RAINS.—The showers which fell on the 16th and 17th of June, appear to have extended very
generally over the State. According to the record in the State Register they are the second June rains we
have had since 1849. In 1754, four inches of rain fell in June; in 1849 showers fell in both June and July.
We understand that Messrs. [John] Larimer & [Dr. William] McMurtrie are taking out about $4,000
per week from their claims on New York Hill. Their rock averaging about $40 to the ton. Messrs.
[Preston] Lee & [Jake] Simpson are also doing well. We have heard nothing definite of late from the other
mills of this neighborhood, but presume they are doing well. The Lafayette and Mt. Hope mills are still
locked up in the law, and idle.
TREASURE.—$400,000 of gold dust was purchased in this place during last month by three buyers.
There are some small outside buyers, who are purchasing small sums, which are not included. About
$550,000 was purchased during the same period in Nevada. All the dust which goes from this place is
obtained in this immediate vicinity. The dust shipped from Nevada includes the most of that taken out in
the upper part of the County.
SELECT SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.—Miss M. V. Compton will open a Select School, for girls at the
Temperance Hall, in this place, on Tuesday, July 6th. Miss C., who has lately arrived from the East,
comes among us highly recommended as an accomplished and successful Teacher. We have no doubt that
she will meet with such encouragement as will induce her to prolong her stay among us. For particulars
see circulars, which have already been distributed.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Potter, while at work at the Randolph Saw Mill, near Rough & Ready,
on Wednesday last accidentally got his right hand caught in the circular saw, by which he received so
severe an injury as to render it necessary to amputate the metacarpal bone, to which the little finger is
attached. The operation was performed by Dr. Tompkins of this place.
The following persons have been elected officers of the Odd Fellows Lodge of this place, for the
ensuing term: E. A. Kendall, N.G; J. Clark, V.G; G. C. King, Sec.; C. R. Edwards, Treas.; G. C. King, P.
W. Roberts, J. L. Weed, Trustees.
The New Catholic Church.
On Sunday, July 4th Archbishop Alemany of San Francisco will perform the ceremony of laying the
corner stone of the New Catholic Church in this place. A Discourse will be delivered on the occasion by
Rev. D. Slattery, of Marysville. This new building will be erected near, and just above the site of the
present wooden structure. It will be built of brick, in plain gothic style. The form of the building, when
fully completed will be that of a Latin Cross, and will cost not less than $45,000 or $50,000. At present
however only the lower section of the main body of the cross will be constructed, leaving the head and
arms to be added at some future time. The building as now contemplated will be 50 by 85 feet, exclusive
of the tower, which will be 20 feet square and 120 high. The main walls will [be] 30 feet from the floor to
the starting of the roof.
