Severe Accident.—A man in the employ of Marsh, Palmer & Perry, as teamster, while drawing a log
yesterday afternoon, fell and was run over by the log crushing his leg terribly. The sufferer had been
employed but two days and we were unable to learn his name. Dr. R. M. Hunt was called and ministered
to the case which is not counted dangerous.
An Industrious Cuss.—The fellow [James] Lawrence, brought from Grass Valley two weeks ago and
lodged in jail for burglary, succeeded yesterday afternoon in digging a hole through the wall between his
cell and that of [William] Riley, and getting through into the cell of the latter. His plan was overheard. It
was to remove Riley’s irons during the night, and on the keeper appearing with their breakfast in the
morning he was to knock him down and escape. He was relieved of the commission of the last crime.
Less than a week since Lawrence succeeded in getting a heavy block of granite from the wall of the
prison before he was discovered.
Carley—‘‘Able Bodied” Carley,—has opened a saloon on Broad Street a few doors above Pine in
connection with Doc. Davis.
FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1859]
THE NEW GOLD DISCOVERY.—We gave a report of a discovery of very rich deposits of gold
and silver on the other side of the Sierras, in our issue two weeks since. The report created considerable
excitement in this city, Grass Valley, and other parts of the county, and some fifty or sixty men went over
the mountains to examine into the merits of the reputed discovery, and to secure for themselves a slice.
Some of the prospectors have returned and made their report. As near as we can arrive at it, there
has been a very rich lead of quartz discovered between Truckee Meadows and Carson Valley. How
extensive it may be will have to be determined by a great deal of hard labor. This far there appear to be no
more indications of extensive quartz or other diggings at the locality than are discoverable in any of our
quartz districts nearer home. The rock is decomposed at the surface and is doubtless exceedingly rich. But
it is to be borne in mind that the lead lies along the declivity of a high ridge, is distant from water not less
than seven miles and wood about the same distance. A report that quite extensive placer diggings existed
below the lead is contradicted by those who have examined the country latest. They tell us the
decomposed rock, by the action of the elements and the force of gravitation has been deposited in places a
few inches in thickness and would pay largely if water in any reasonable quantity could be procured. But
that there are any extensive deposits that would last any respectable number of miners even a few months
is said to be out of the question. The country gives no indication of any large wash deposits of any kind.
