MAY 1 & 2, 1866 125
TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1866
CONVICTED.—Ben. Gill, who was arrested a week or two ago, in Nevada, and sent to Marysville
on a charge of stealing cattle, was convicted on Saturday, and will be sentenced to-day.
THE WALTZING PAN.--After a trial of a week of the merits of the Waltzing pan, by W. C. Stiles,
at his mill, we learn that he has determined to put in six or seven others of the same kind, and use them
in place of the Knox pan. Of course stiles is satisfied they are an improvement, otherwise he would not be
at the expense of having the new pans made. They do more work than the Knox pans, are equally as good
amalgamators, and for the same amount of work occupy less room, and although they cost more, and
require more power to run them, Stiles is satisfied there is considerable saved in using them.
A DANGEROUS PLACE.—The excavation on the site of the old gas works, back of Cayote street,
is a dangerous place, and should be attended to by the city authorities, The water stands to a considerable
depth in the cistern, and children are constantly playing in the vicinity, and are liable to fall in and drown.
A few hours work would fill up the vacant space between the sides of the excavation and the gasometer,
and it should be done before an accident happens.
POSTPONED.—In consequence of the rain yesterday, the May Day pic nic has been postponed
until further notice. Even should the weather be pleasant to-day, the ground will be too damp; the
celebration will doubtless be held about the second or third pleasant day.
DECLARATIONS.—In the Clerk’s office, yesterday, Thomas Boase, a native of England, and John
Young, a native of Scotland, declared their intentions to become citizens of the United States.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1866
CHANGE OF SCHOOL BOOKS.—By the school law passed by the last Legislature, the State
Board of Education are required to adopt a new set of books for the public schools of the State. After the
selection is made, the schools are given six months in which to adopt them, and such as do not adopt them
in that time will lose twenty-five per cent of the public money to which they are entitled. The change of
books will be considerable of a hardship to the poor people of the State, many of whom will be required
to purchase new books for their children before the old ones are worn out but the law will have to be
complied with. The clause in the law requiring a change of books was doubtless inserted in the bill at the
instigation of some booksellers at the Bay. The change is entirely unnecessary, as the books now in use
are as good as any that can be selected.
A. P. CHURCH.—We notice by the Virginia City papers that our old friend and former partner, A.
P. Church, is announced as an independent candidate for City Assessor of the municpal election soon to
be held. Church resided for many years in Nevada [city] and is a competent and careful business man. He
at one time held the office fo Assessor of this city to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
HURT.—A young man named Charles Duggan, working in Taylor’s Foundry, Grass Valley, had his
foot crushed a few days ago, by the stem of a stamp falling upon it.
