NEVADA GAZETTE NOVEMBER 14 & 15, 1865 547
TRIAL.—The case of the Grass Valley firemen, charged with washing out the lager beer saloon, was
on trial before Justice Smith and a jury yesterday. The examination of the witnesses occupied the entire
day, and the Court adjourned until seven o’clock in the evening to hear arguments of counsel.
NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT.—The Board of Supervisors passed an order yesterday, organizing a
new school district, composing the Meadow Lake mining district. They named the district “Altamont”—
which we suppose means Upper Mountain.
RAIN.—About half-past six o’clock yesterday morning a rain storm set in, which continued with
little intermission all day. Part of the time the rain came down quite heavy.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1865
THE RAILROAD.—Work on the Pacific Railroad is being prosecuted with great vigor along the
entire line between Colfax and Dutch Flat. A large force of laborers are employed, and it is confidently
believe that the iron horse will make his appearance at Dutch Flat by the middle of December.
PIONEER BALL.—The Society of California Pioneers, in San Francisco, purpose giving a grand
ball on the 16th instant, at the Occidental Hotel. It is designed that it shall be the grandest affair of the
kind ever given in the State. Only a limited number of tickets will be sold, and the receipts are all to be
expended on the ball itself.
BORN. At Blue Tent, November 14th, to the wife of Samuel Madden—a son.
At Red Dog, on the 12th instant, to the wife of Milton Combs—a daughter.
THE STORM.—The amount of rain which fell in this place, according to the rain gauge kept at the
South Yuba Company’s office, from the beginning of the storm up to nine o’clock yesterday morning,
was four and a half inches. This is quite a heavy rain fall for that length of time—being about twenty-six
hours—but the most of it fell in the course of three or four hours on Monday. During Monday night there
was quite a heavy gale of wind. The chimney of a house on Water street was blown over and fell through
the roof into the dining room, and some fences were leveled, but we have not learned of any great amount
of damage being done. The filled-in road near the Gold Run bridge was rendered almost impassable by
the rain. A butcher’s wagon coming into town was mired there early yesterday morning, and was only
got out by unloading it. We are informed that the mud is quite deep on the roads leading out of town, the
passage of wagons and other vehicles in places being difficult.
TRIAL CONCLUDED.—The case of the Grass Valley firemen, which has been on Justice Smith’s
docket for several weeks, was concluded yesterday morning. The case was argued and given to the
Jury on Monday evening, and after consultation they returned a verdict of guilty against Leavitt, Snow,
Thompson and Flanders—these being the only parties against whom the evidence was positive as
having taken part in washing out the saloon. The convicted parties were held to bail to appear yesterday
morning for sentence, when Justice Smith fined them forty dollars each. The fines, we understand were
immediately paid and the parties discharged.
OPHIR MINE.—This mine, near Grass Valley, is one of the richest and most promising in the
State. On Saturday last, halfa ton of rock was taken out, which, it is estimated will yield at the rate of
ten thousand dollars a ton. We learn from the Grass Valley Union that the owners are now engaged in the
erection of a thirty-stamp mill, and other machinery, which will cost when completed some fifty thousand
