NEVADA GAZETTE FEBRUARY 2, 1865 55
IN A HURRY.—Onr friends of the Grass Valley Union seem desirous to hurry through this year,
their last issue being dated “August Ist, 1865.” Their object is doubtless two-fold—to escape from the
present dull season, and to hasten the election canvass, when, as it is popularly supposed, printers will
reap a harvest.
BIG CLEAN-UP.—The Golden Gate Company, at North San Juan, after a run of thirteen days
cleaned up last week $12,000. For the last sixteen months this company has been engaged in running a
tunnel, and two weeks ago the famous “blue lead” was struck, with the foregoing result.
WANTING TO BE LOCKED UP.—Yesterday a fellow stepped into the County Clerk’s office and
said to Mr. [R. H.] Farquhar—“I want to be locked up in one o’ them cells awhile.” Mr. Farquhar politely
informed him that the Sheriff’s and jailor’s office was up stairs. He went up, but very soon came down
again at a 2:40 gait, with the toe of the Deputy Sheriff’s boot in close proximity to his coat-tails. That
hombre will be very apt to seek lodgings elsewhere hereafter.
FIZZLED OUT.—The crinalongal [sic] attempt to get up a Miners’ Convention for the purpose of
changing the laws in reference to recording quartz mining claims in this county, has completely fizzled
out. Sensible miners laugh at the proposition, and say they do not wish nor intend to change a system
which insures for their mining records safety, preservation and convenience for inspection, merely to
gratify a petty malignant, partisan spite. They say that the proposition did not come from the miners, but
from one-horse politicians.
STORM Y.—For the last two days the weather has been quite stormy, and a considerable quantity
of rain has fallen, swelling the streams to ordinary high-water mark. The roads have again been rendered
almost impassable from mud, so that the Sacramento stage has fallen into its old habit of coming in at
noon of the day after it is due, and the other stages are delayed much beyond their usual time. The fall
of rain at this place during the twenty-four hours from Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock to the same hour
yesterday morning, was 2.81 inches—a goodly quantity.
AN insane person passed through California and Nevada last Fall who represented himself as
“Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” We learn from the Rocky Mountain News that he was among the number
massacred by the Indians of Plum Creek, a few months ago.
