356 JULY 20 & 21, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
Clay vs. Sneath—Leave given plaintiff to file his supplemental bill herein. R. H. Farquhar appointed
guardian ad litem, to represent absent defendant.
[Martha] Hill vs. [Charles Wilson] Hill—Time to answer extended.
Toftman vs. Pope—Continued for the term.
M.Y.C.& W. Co. vs E.L.W. Co. et al—Continued by consent until Tuesday, July 25th.
S. Madden vs. G. A. Cooper—On trial.
ACQUITTED.—The case of Walker Hoskins, a negro charged with killing a white man named
Jones at Grass Valley on the 7th of May last, was submitted to the jury on Tuesday evening. On the first
ballot the jury stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction, but after brief consultation they agreed upon
a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. From all accounts, that portion of Grass Valley
where the crime was committed is a small edition of the New York Five Points—a sort of moral sink-hole,
where brutal blacks and degraded whites mingle together in one common mass of reeking corruption.
FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1865
THE Couer d’ Alene mines, recently discovered in Oregon, are said to be no mines at all. The whole
story of their richness is an unmitigated humbug.
SALE.—It is said that Mr. Ott has sold his Oriental Mill, on Deer creek, to an Eastern company,
for the sum of $18,000. The Oriental is said to be one of the best mills in the county, and is located in the
center of a very rich district.
DEAD.—Some months ago a Mrs. Harvey died at Grass Valley in great destitution, leaving a young
child, which has since been kindly cared for by Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Avery. On Tuesday
last the little one died, and was consigned to its last resting place by the hands of charity. The
father’s place of residence is unknown. [Mrs. Olivia W. Harvey died on November 29, 1864, of
childbirth complications. .
BREAK IN A RESERVOIR.—We learn from Mr. Hopkinson, the Dutch Flat expressman, that on
Wednesday, the embankment of Joseph Gardner’s large reservoir, situated on the hill above the town of
Little York, gave way, and a torrent of water flowed through the town and gardens and flumes in the canon
below, damaging them to the extent of several hundred dollars.
INTERNAL REVENUE.—J. B. Richmand, Esq., Internal Revenue Assessor, has nearly completed
his assessment of incomes for the year 1865. The list will be delivered to the Collector in a few days, and
he will probably commence his collections about the middle of August. Notwithstanding the removal
from our city of several heavy capitalists, we understand the returns of incomes for 1864 are largely in
excess of those for 1863. This looks well for the county.
DISTRICT COURT—JUNE TERM, 1865—HON. T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING.—This Court met
yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted:
Clay vs. Sneath—Ordered that Thales Curtis be made defendant herein, in lieu of George Sneath.
Patterson vs. McHugh—Judgment for plaintiff.
THE MOHAWK.—Messrs. Kidd & Tisdale are taking out of the Mohawk ledge, on Gold Flat,
fifteen tons daily of splendid looking rock. In much of their quartz numerous specks of gold can be
seen with the naked eye. An order has been sent below for machinery, and the proprietors will erect a
