NEVADA GAZETTE NOVEMBER 9 & 10, 1865 543
opened. This development more than doubles the value of the mine, and fully justifies the re-purchase by
the original owner at an advance.
JEFFERSONIAN MINE.—Mr. John Blasauf, superintendent of the Jeffersonian Company, left
here this morning with a four-horse team loaded with provisions, tools, etc., for the company’s mine near
Bowman’s. We learn that it is the intention of this company to crush what rock they have on hand, and
then close the mill for the Winter; but the work in the mine will be continued without interruption. The
company has an excellent mill, and we are informed the rock pays well, but the mine is not yet opened
sufficiently to keep the mill running. This company is incorporated in Sacramento, where a portion of the
stock is owned.
NEARLY AN ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening G. W. Clay, who had just returned from Hunt’s
Hill, sat down in a chair at the Union Hill for a few minutes before putting his pistol away. As he rose, the
pistol was discharged, the hammer, probably, striking on the arm of the chair and exploding the cap. The
ball struck the boot of another man who was sitting near, cutting the edge of the sole, and passed through
the floor.
PAPER AT COLFAX.—We have received a prospectus from H. W. Waite, who proposes to start a
first-class daily paper at Colfax. It will be called the Colfax Daily News, and the first number will appear
about the 15th instant.
ACCIDENT.—A teamster named William Fowler had his right leg and foot badly mangled last
Tuesday evening, near the Eureka mine, by getting the foot entangled in the wagon wheel.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1865
DRAINING THE COMSTOCK.—The necessity of draining the Comstock mine to the greatest
possible depth is now being urged with much vigor upon the attention of the stockholders in the
companies having claims on the ledge. The project of Sutro, for draining the ledge to a depth of 2,000
feet below the croppings of the Gould & Curry, is receiving much favor. Sutro proposes to organize a
company for draining to that depth, to be re-imbursed by a tax of two dollars a ton for the pay rock taken
from the mines drained. This amount is said to be much less than the cost of raising the water by pump.
BORN. At Selby Flat, near Nevada, on November 6th, to the wife of Joseph Richardson, a son.
COUNTY COURT.—This Court met yesterday, and the following gentlemen, having been
summoned as Grand Jurors, appeared and were empanneled: Joseph Richardson, E. P. Marcelus, G.
D. Jacobs, A. G. Hasey, W. S. Head, Wm Kent, I. Williamson, J. Rosenthal, S. Banner, J. Williams, D.
Crittenden, W. H. Weeks, J. McAllister, B. Locklin, B. H. Collier, C. McElvy, C. E. Black, O. P. Stidger,
R. Lytle, W. R. Williams, H. J. Thomas, M. H. Cassin. Isaac was appointed Foreman, and the jury retired
to their labors, and the Court adjourned until four o’clock to-day.
RETURNED.—Messrs. Belden, Kutz and Dornin, who started for the mountains on Tuesday, to
examine the county line, have returned. We learn from one of the party, that they went to the head waters
of Bear river and took a look due east in the direction of the county line, but thought it not worth while
to follow it. They came to the conclusion, however, that that section of the county was altogether too
valuable for its stone quarries, timber, agricultural capabilities, etc., to be given away.
