NEVADA GAZETTE MARCH 11, 13, 14, 1865 125
grindstone, lathe and boring-machine. We heard some one suggest to Davis the feasibility of starting a
saloon, and running his “whisky mill” by water. The idea is a good one, but it has been acted upon too
long to claim originality for it.
HANSBROW’S MINING PUMP.—This excellent invention can be seen at George E. Turner’s store
on Pine street. It is capable of raising ten thousand gallons of water per hour, and is the most powerful
pump now in use. The valves are accessible without unscrewing bolts or nuts, and can be taken apart and
put together in five minutes. The pump has been purchased by a mining company up Deer creek, but Mr.
Turner is agent for the patentee, and will shortly have a number of them for sale. In the meantime he will
take pleasure in showing the pump to all who wish to examine it.

March 10, 1865, totaled $1,004.20.]

FATAL ACCIDENT.—At 11 o’clock A.M. on Saturday last two Portugese employed in repairing a
flume at Washington in this county fell from a distance of sixty feet to the ground. Both were
seriously injured—one of them, named Joaquin Joze [sic], so badly that he died on Saturday
evening. The other, named John Barras, was severely hurt, but was much better yesterday
morning, and it was thought he would recover. The deceased man was a native of the island of
San Jorge, in the Azores.
SHOOTING AFFRAY.—At Grass Valley on Saturday morning last a man named Jaton shot Josiah
Dodge, inflicting a slight flesh wound in the right side. It appears that Robert Dodge owed Jaton a sum of
money, the payment of which Josiah had assumed. The parties met on Mill street on Saturday morning,
some high words ensued, when Jaton drew a revolver and fired. An officer was near, and the “shootist”
was immediately arrested. He was taken before Justice O’Connor, who held him in $5,000 bonds for his
appearance on Tuesday next. We learn that an effort will be made to procure a change of venue to this
city.
