NEVADA GAZETTE MAY 8, 1865 237
MONDAY, MAY 8, 1865
ALMARIN B. PAUL, a former citizen of this place, has gone out of the banking business in Gold
Hill, Nevada, and will devote his attention to mining exclusively.
HOT.—During the last three days the weather has been extremely hot for the season, the
thermometer ranging from 85° to 90°. It has been still warmer below.
INSANE.—Timothy Regan, a native of Ireland, lately resident at Grass Valley, was examined in
the County Court on Saturday, pronounced insane, and ordered by Judge Niles to be sent to the Insane
Asylum at Stockton.
SMARTSVILLE.—The Blue Gravel Hydraulic Mining Company at Smartsville cleaned up on
Friday last about forty boxes at the head of their flume, after a thirty days’ run, taking out $26,809. The
entire flume is cleaned up every sixty days, paying from $45,000 to $60,000.
TO BE ENLARGED.—The South Yuba ditch leading to Dutch Flat is to be immediately enlarged
at the lower end so that it will have a capacity of one thousand inches, or over. The demand for water at
Dutch Flat will even then be greater than the supply. [On May 9 the Gazette corrected this item, saying
it should have read “one thousand inches more.” “The ditch has now a capacity of several thousand
inches.”’]
APPOINTMENT.—D. B. Nye, we are informed, has received a commission as Postmaster at Grass
Valley.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—Mr. John F. Bussenius has purchased the drug store of J. M. Levey,
on the corner of Commercial and Pine streets, and will continue the business at the same stand. Mr.
Bussenius thoroughly understands the drug business, having had many years’ experience in first-class
establishments, and will be found an attentive and obliging dealer.
SHOOTING.—The Grass Valley Union says that a man, whose name it did not learn, was shot and
perhaps mortally wounded on Saturday by a squaw known by the soubriquet of “Indian Mary.” Mary,
who was intoxicated at the time she did the shooting, now lies in the calaboose.
WOOD’S RAVINE.—We saw at the Banking house of Hinds & Tully, on Saturday, a handsome bar
of gold, valued at $804 35, produced from twenty tons of rock from the quartz claim of Adams & Brown,
Wood’s Ravine; also, $1,500 from the surface diggings at Pooler’s Ranch, on the same ravine.
HOMICIDE.—We learn that at an early hour yesterday morning a colored resident of Grass Valley,
named Walker [Hoskins], discovered a white man named Jones attempting to break into his
house, and warned him to desist, threatening to shoot if he did not go away. Jones persisted,
effected an entrance, and was thereupon shot and killed by Walker. As there are several Joneses
in Grass Valley, some of whom are respectable men, we are sorry we cannot learn the first
name of the deceased. We are informed, however, that he was a drunken character, and that his
wife has been seeking a divorce from him through one of our Courts. [The deceased was James
B. Jones. ]
