450 SEPTEMBER 14, 15, 16, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
TARGET PRACTICE.—The Grass Valley Union Guard will go out to Glenbrook Park on Saturday
next, for the purpose of target practice. Three or four prizes are to be awarded to the best “shootists.”
PROBABLE SALE.—We learn that the negotiations are in progress for the sale of the stage
route, stock and fixtures of the California Stage Company’s line from this city to Colfax, to the Pioneer
Company. The transfer will probably take place about the first of October.
INJUNCTION.—The District Court on Tuesday, in the case of Gamble against Kidd and others,
ordered an injunction to issue upon the filing of bonds in the sum of $8,000 by the plaintiff. This will
have the effect to suspend operations upon the Star Spangled Banner quartz ledge, and throw out of
employment some thirty or forty persons, who are connected directly or indirectly with the working of the
mine. Two mills have been kept running for some time on rock from this ledge alone, and enough now
lies at Stiles’s mill to keep it running for four or five weeks. The trial is set for the 27th proximo, when it
is to be hoped the question in dispute may be settled, and operations on the mine resumed.
THEATRICAL.—The brief season at our new theater closed last evening. .. . We can but regret,
however, that more favorable opportunities were not afforded for the display of [Setchell’s] genius; some
of the pieces presented during his stay being relieved from ineffable stupidity by Setchell alone. Our
people can appreciate and will patronize the standard drama, unwilling as managers appear to believe
it; and though farces and fairy spectacles may draw for a few nights, they soon pall upon the taste and
lose their power to charm. We believe that a company capable of presenting sterling plays in good style,
would be well sustained in this city and Grass Valley for a month or six weeks. We would like to see some
enterprising manager try the experiment.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1865
BORN. At Moore’s Flat, September 12th, to the wife of J. W. C. Coleman, a son.
MEADOW LAKE.—A correspondent of the Sacramento Bee, writing from Summit City September
10th, gives a rather unfavorable account of the prospects of that mining locality. He differs in opinion
with most persons who have examined those mines. It will doubtless take more time than was at first
supposed to place the mines upon a paying basis; but that there are in Meadow Lake District many claims
of extraordinary richness, there can be no doubt... .
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1865
GAME.— Yesterday was the first day of the bird season, and about half the men in town left it with
guns and game bags. We expect to find at least half a dozen quails upon our table this morning.
BANK EXCHANGE.—This popular saloon, next door to the Postoffice, has recently passed into the
hands of John Senner, who is engaged in refurnishing it in handsome style. . . .
ARMORY.—The Grass Valley Union Guard and Howell Zouaves have rented the room adjoining
Pope’s auction house, on Mill street, and will fit it up for an armory.
ACCIDENT.—In the Eureka mine at Grass Valley, on Thursday, a laborer fell a distance of twenty
feet, striking on a ladder and breaking one of his ribs.
