20 JANUARY 31, 1866 NEVADA GAZETTE
FLUME DESTROYED.—The flume of the South Yuba Canal Company, across the head of Steep
Hollow, was crushed down by the weight of snow during the late storms, and entirely destroyed. The
flume was built in 1856, was a hundred and sixty feet in hight [sic] above the bottom of the ravine, and the
construction cost two thousand days’ labor, besides lumber, nails and other materials. The timbers had
rotted considerably, but the work has stood as long as was expected when it was built. Instead of erecting
a new flume in the place of the one destroyed, the ditch will be carried around to near the head of the
ravine, so that a short flume will answer the purpose. A surveyor has been sent up to mark out the route.
BOY RAN OFF.—On Saturday last, says the National, a little fellow, name unknown, and aged
about nine years, jumped into the boot of the Marysville stage, and was not discovered until too far away
from Grass Valley to be sent back. He was clad in a red shirt, and said he was gong to see his uncle in
Marysville. Arriving at that place he alighted and disappeared.
