552 NOVEMBER 21 & 22, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
the weather has been quite warm during the prevalence of the rains, but very little snow has fallen except
high up on the summit.
COUNTY COURT.—The following business was transacted in the County Court yesterday.
People vs John Brandon—No witnesses appearing, defendant was discharged from custody.
People vs Josiah Dodge.—Defendant withdrew plea of not guilty, and plead guilty to indictment for
assault with deadly weapon. Saturday next was set for sentence.
People vs Jaiton—Continued until this morning.
People vs Finnegan—Arraignment continued until this morning.
In the matter of Nevada and Placer Turnpike Company—Commissioners filed their report, and next
Monday was set for hearing application for confirmation of the same.
GOOD TIME.—Notwithstanding the severe storm and bad condition of the roads, the Colfax stages
are now making very good time—generally arriving in Nevada between twelve and one o’clock.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1865
COUNTY COURT.—The following business was transacted in the County Court yesterday.
People vs W. H. Thomas—Defendant plead guilty of assault, and fined $100.
People vs Joseph Jaiton—Defendant withdrew of not guilty, and plead guilty of assault. Ordered to
appear Saturday next for sentence.
People vs. James Finnegan—Defendant failed to appear for arraignment, and order entered declaring
bond forfeited.
People vs Mary Coutard—Indicted for keeping a house of ill fame—case tried, argued and submitted
to jury. After a few minutes consultation, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
KATE HAYES MINE.—The Grass Valley Union says the owners of this mine, located on Kate
Hayes Hill, are quietly but steadily pushing work in their claim. They have now an incline down one
hundred feet, and have commenced the erection of machinery for hoisting and pumping. This machinery
will be first class, and will cost some eight thousand dollars. They will have up a thirty-horse power
engine and gearings to match. The Kate Hayes is a valuable mine, and will soon begin to remunerate the
owners.
DETENTION.—The cars which left Sacramento yesterday morning were detained several hours
on the road and did not reach Colfax until half past twelve o’clock. The detention was occasioned by the
embankments in places caving upon the track, the cars being compelled to stop several times until the
earth could be shoveled off. The stage for Nevada left Colfax immediately on the arrival of the cars, and
arrived here at four o’clock.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—A gentleman up from Grass Valley yesterday, informs us that a man named
Buckley, who has been missing since Sunday, was found dead yesterday morning at the bottom
of a shaft on Kate Hayes Hill. His injuries were such that he must have been killed by the fall.
[On the following day the Gazette corrected its account, saying: “The name of the man...
was Robert Miller, as we see by the Grass Valley papers. . . . It seems he lodged and boarded
on Kate Hayes Hill, and started to go home from Grass Valley about eleven o’clock on Sunday
night. He had no lantern, and in the darkness he got of the usual traveled road, and fell in
an open shaft. The shaft was about eighty feet deep, and was sunk by the unfortunate man
himself, in his prospecting days.”’]
