118 MARCH 2 & 3, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
Average warmth through the month by night—35°.
Rainy days, 5; snowy days, 5; clear days, 12; cloudy days, 6.
NEW ROAD PROJECTED.—We find the following in the last number of the Dutch Flat Inquirer:
We understand that there is a project on foot to build a road from You Bet, Nevada county, to
Gold Run, near this place, that the sum of eight thousand dollars has already been subscribed,
and that the work is to be prosecuted with vigor as soon as the weather will permit. This is what
all our people should have anticipated months ago, and built a good wagon road from here to
Little York, You Bet and Red Dog when the people of those localities were willing and anxious
to co-operate with them in the work. Now, if this enterprise is successfully carried out—our
town will be to all intents and purposes cut off from the lucrative trade it has heretofore
enjoyed with the citizens of the above named places, and our neighbor and rival town will have
secured to herself a trade that will go far to build her up in importance. This is all right, for her
citizens have shown both energy and foresight; and while we have been lying idly by in slothful
indolence, they have been exerting every power to make their town a place independent of and
in no manner second to our own. We are within two miles of travel of Little York, five and
a-half from You Bet and six and a-half from Red Dog, and without a road to either. The trail
one is obliged to travel to reach either place is really dangerous, passing over deep chasms, high
and precipitous mountains, where, by a single misstep, one would be hurled down hundreds of
feet and dashed to pieces, is the only way we can travel across the country, unless we take the
stage via Illinoistown to Nevada, and from there to You Bet, traveling some thirty-eight miles
by public conveyance at a cost of fifteen or twenty dollars, to reach a place only five and a-half
distant. If one owns a conveyance the distance to be traveled is then about twenty miles, over a
road that no man who has any feeling for horse-flesh would ever go but once.
SUCCESS.—The tableaux exhibition at Grass Valley on Monday evening was a complete success.
Why can’t we have something of the kind here? Such an entertainment would be largely attended, and
there are certainly enough worthy objects to be benefited thereby.
SUPERVISORS.—The Board of Supervisors met yesterday, and will probably continue in session
during the week. They are engaged in fixing the rate of taxation for the current year.
FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1865
LOW DOWN.—At 7 o’clock yesterday morning the mercury indicated 10°—lower, we believe, than
any point reached during the past Winter.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.—The Board are in session, but have as yet been unable to get fairly
at work, owing to the absence of the necessary reports from the County Auditor and Treasurer, upon
which their action must be based. Monday next, we believe, is the limit of the time allowed by law for the
completion of the work before the Board at its present session.
SNOW.—On Wednesday night snow fell to the depth of about five inches, and yesterday morning
many merry parties of pleasure-seekers availed themselves of the opportunity to indulge in a sleigh-ride.
By noon, however, the warm rays of the sun had put an end to the sport. One or two teams took it into
their heads to run away and have a little sport on their own account, but no serious accident occurred.
