536 NOVEMBER 2 & 3, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
14-inch for Johnson, at Blue Tent. The owners of quite a number of hill claims in this immediate vicinity
are also preparing to resume work; and if the weather should proved favorable we may expect that placer
mining will be carried on quite extensively this Winter.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1865
COLORED STATISTICS.—In the late Colored Convention at Sacramento, it appears that only
eleven counties were represented. In eight of these counties, viz: Colusa, Tehama, Santa Clara, Napa,
Mariposa, Merced, Sacramento and San Francisco, statistics were given showing that they had a
population of 3,425, with eleven churches and eight schools, and representing a wealth of $1,417,585.
The other three counties represented were Solano, Santa Cruz and Contra Costa, but the statistics in these
were not reported... .
IN LUCK.—We are informed that J. B. Van Hagan, formerly Sheriff of Nevada county, has lately
struck some very rich placer diggings in the Blackfoot country, Montana Territory. At last accounts his
claim was paying forty dollars a day to the hand.
DISTRICT COURT—SEPTEMBER TERM—HON. T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING— This Court met
yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted:
Toftman vs Pope—Tried and submitted.
Judson vs Eureka Lake Company—Judgment for plaintiff.
Beatty vs Primrose—Judgment for plaintiff.
Hill vs Hill—Submitted and taken under advisement.
RECOVERING.—We are glad to learn that William Coverdale, who was so seriously injured at the
Union mine last Sunday evening, is improving. On Monday and Tuesday he was quite low, and it was
feared he could not recover; but yesterday and day before he was much better.
MEADOW LAKE.—A gentleman recently down from Meadow Lake informs us that two or three
inches of snow fell there on Monday night, but the next day being pleasant it soon melted off. Many
people are now leaving that section in anticipation of approaching cold weather, and the arrivals have
nearly ceased. The weather, however, continues favorable for mining operations, the nights being cool,
but the days warm and pleasant.
HABEAS CORPUS.—Ah Chee, who was sent to the county jail on Wednesday by Justice
O’Connor, for thirty days, for stealing two candles at Grass Valley, was brought before Judge McFarland
yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus—the object being to procure his discharge on the ground of insanity.
The friends of the imprisoned Celestial state that he is clearly insane; that he has been employed at
different hotels and restaurants at Grass Valley, and several times discharged on account of exhibiting
symptoms of wildness, and that his taking the candles was a plain case of kleptomania. The Judge
ordered him re-committed to jail for two days, to see how he conducted himself, and to acquire further
information as to the state of his mind.
COUNTY LINES.—We are informed that a movement is on foot in Placer county to have an act
passed by the next Legislature cutting off a portion of Nevada county and attaching it to Placer, so as
to include all the railroad track in the latter county. Whether the object is to get the revenue that will be
derived from taxes on the small portion of the road running through Nevada, or to give Placer a more
respectable look on the map, we are not informed. They claim, however, that as Placer county has given
