SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1865
GRANT ON THE RAILROAD.— On his recent visit to New York, General Grant gave a reception
to anumber of gentlemen from the Pacific coast, among whom we notice the name of Mark Zellabeck
[sic] of this county. The General on receiving his visitors, remarked that having been a Californian
himself, he felt as if he were among friends and old acquaintances. He spoke particularly of the Pacific
Railroad, saying he had been assured by General Sherman that rapid progress was being made on the
Atlantic side, while his visitors were able to tell him of the encouraging advance of the work on the
Pacific slope. He expected, he said, to see the great enterprise complete within five years.
THE CAUCUS.—A caucus of the Union members of the Legislature, to nominate a candidate for
the United States Senator, was called to meet at Sacramento last evening.
A MAN named John Long, died at the County Hospital on Thursday last, of delium [sic] tremens.
He was admitted the day previous to his death.
A FOX HUNT.—A party intend starting out this morning, for a fox hunt, and will meet at 10 o’clock
near the Town Talk, on the Grass Valley road, for that purpose. Ten or a dozen of the best hounds in the
State have been gotten together for the hunt, and as foxes are abundant, the party will no doubt have an
excellent chase.
THE MERRIMAC MINE.—The Merrimac mine situated near the race track was located about a
year ago. Since that time it has been opened to a considerable depth, and although no effort was made to
take out rock, the expenses of working the mine have been paid, and the company has a surplus on hand.
The mine is now thoroughly prospected, and opened so that hereafter the entire energy of the force at
work can be directed to getting out rock. The lead is large and will no doubt turn out large amounts of
money.
