34 FEBRUARY 10 & 12, 1866 NEVADA GAZETTE
DIED. In this city, February 8th JOHN THOMASON, eldest son of J. H. and C. Z. Boardman, aged 6
years and six months. The funeral will take place at the Methodist church, at 10 o’clock this
morning. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.
ALLISON RANCH MINE.—We are informed, on what we take to be good authority, that the mill
of the Allison Ranch Company is now turning out gold in almost fabulous quantities. The rock now being
crushed is taken from a depth of seven hundred feet, and yields at the rated of $1,800 a ton. The yield of
the rock crushed in the mill, for the past month, has been at the rate of $200,000 a week—That amount
having been cleaned up each Saturday night, for four weeks past. At this rate, the mine would turn out ten
million dollars in a year.
FAIR AND FESTIVAL.—The Grass Valley National is indebted to Father Dalton for the following
information: The total returns of the late Ladies’ Fair and Festival, for the benefit of the Catholic Orphan
Asylum, foot up to the amount of $4,764 20. The expenses were $698 85. Clear profit of $4,065 35. This
is a good showing, and we are most happy to record it, as evidencing the liberal spirit of the people of
Nevada county and their hearty interest in the success of the noble institution of which all good citizens
feel justly proud.
MONEY ORDERS.—The first money order was presented and paid at the Nevada Postoffice on
Thursday. It was from Marysville, being the fourth order drawn at that office, and at the time it was
drawn twenty-five orders had been drawn at the Nevada office. Postmaster Guild was authorized to draw
out five hundred dollars, as a fund with which to pay orders, but feeling confident that he would receive
more than he would be required to pay out, did not draw it, and he already has over that amount on hand.
FENIAN MEETING.—The meeting of the members of the Nevada Fenian Circle, which had been
called for Tuesday evening next, has been changed to Monday evening, 12th instant. The meeting will be
held at Temperance Hall, and all the members are requested to attend.
FROM SUMMIT CITY.—Thomas Hannah, Esgq., arrived in town yesterday, direct from Summit
City, having left that place on last Wednesday. He informs us that times are quite lively in that region, and
a few of the mines are being worked vigorously.
ASSAY OFFICE.—Wm. Luebbert & Co. have established an assay office at Summit City.

PURCHASE OF MINING GROUND.—The Grass Valley Union learns that the Watt brothers have
purchased a one half interest in the mining claim known as the Rush and Laton ground, on Ophir Hill—
being the first extension south of the celebrated Ophir lead, owned by Lee and Houston. Lee and Houston
are building a superb mill of thirty stamps capacity upon their portion of the ground, and we learn it is
