NEVADA GAZETTE FEBRUARY 10, 1865 63
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1865
TO THE PATRONS OF THE NEVADA GAZETTE.
On the 7th instant my connection with the Nevada Daily Gazette ceased, I having sold my entire
interest therein to Messrs. Wm. J. Beggs, H. R. W. Smith and I. J. Rolfe. In taking leave of you, I can but
say that I feel under many and deep obligations to you for the very liberal support extended to me during
my short career as editor and proprietor.
I part with the present proprietors of the Gazette, who have been attaches of the office ever since its
commencement, with the greatest good feeling; and I trust that the liberal patronage hitherto bestowed
upon the paper will be continued. The present owners are practical printers, well qualified to make the
Gazette equal in point of interest and talent to any other paper in the State. All they want to effect this
object is a liberal support, and prompt payment of the moneys due them. With these, they will be enabled
to furnish the Eastern news to their patrons in Nevada county in advance of any other paper published in
the State. Without it, it will be impossible for them to accomplish so desirable an object.
In conclusion, I take my leave of you, wishing the patrons of the Gazette every conceivable good
fortune vouchsafed unto man, and assuring the proprietors of the Gazette of my best wishes for their
prosperity. O. P. STIDGER.
DIED. In this city, February 8th, LONGSFORD FRANCIS, aged 44 years. The deceased formerly
resided in Cole county, Missouri.
Richard R. Jenkins, who was killed at Birchville on Tuesday morning last, was a native of Wales,
and was aged about thirty-three years. He emigrated from Wales to Wisconsin, whence he
came to California about twelve years ago, and has resided at or near North San Juan ever
since. ... He leaves a brother residing at Birchville, and his mother is yet living in Wales... .
NORTH SAN JUAN, February 8th. ... A good man has fallen—cut off in the prime of life and
usefulness by one of those sudden strokes which has carried many a good and worthy man to the tomb
without a moment’s notice. Richard R. Jenkins, for many years a worthy and respected citizen of this
place and vicinity, was suddenly killed in his mining claim, near Birchville, on the morning of the 7th
inst., by a cave of earth which caught him in its descent and crushed him instantly to death. The writer of
this knew him for many years, intimately. No better man than he ever existed. He was the soul of honor
and honesty. He was a Welchman by birth, but an American citizen in every sense of the word. He was
buried at this place to-day; the funeral cortege being the largest that ever followed a corpse to the grave
in this place since the late lamented General Allen was buried here. All the stores and business places
were closed as the remains of Richard Jenkins were conveyed through the streets. Peace to his ashes.
The gentleman who was injured by the same cave that killed Mr. Jenkins, it is feared cannot
recover. He is injured internally. JS.
DISGRACEFUL.—A drunken rascal yesterday afternoon stood upon the sidewalk in a public part
of Main street, and vented filth and obscenity at the top of his voice. He ought to have been arrested.
LARGE YIELD.—Six tons of rock from Eddy & Co.’s quartz claim at American Hill, crushed at
Palmer’s mill, yielded $472 86; or $78 81 per ton. The sulphurets will probably give a large additional
yield.
AN attempt was made on Tuesday night last to fire the house of Mr. [Henri] Pellatier of Boston
Ravine, Grass Valley, during the absence of the family. A quantity of combustibles was collected under
