NEVADA GAZETTE MARCH 5, 1866 57
sufficient number of hands at work to keep the mill constantly employed, but with their present force they
will be able to take out at least fifty tons during the next two weeks, by which time their mine will be
in such a shape that an additional number of hands can be set to work. The ledge, where they are now at
work, is some twenty-two inches wide, and the indications are favorable for its becoming one of the best
paying mines in the county.
COUNTY COURT.—The following business was transacted in the County Court on Saturday:
Report of Commissioners appointed to examined [sic] as to the damages caused by the construction
of the Forest Hill and Grass Valley Turnpike was filed, and Saturday next appointed for hearing as to
confirmation of the same.
J. S. McCue vs His Creditors—Demurrer and written motion of contestant stricken out, and fifteen
days given to file answer to applicant.
On motion of A. A. Sargent, the Court ordered that retiring Deputy Sheriff Belden have permission to
repair to Blaze’s and treat the Court, Bar, hangers-on, etc., to a square drink.
Court adjourned until Saturday next.
THE MINSTRELS.—The entertainment given by the troupe of amateur performers was well
patronized—the parquette being well filled and the dress circle packed to the utmost capacity. The
performance, considering the length of time the company has been organized, and the time devoted to
rehearsing, was very creditable; it was of that character, however, which is calculated to attract a larger
audience on its first presentation than on any subsequent occasion. Most of the singing, and the violin
solo, by G. H. Edmunds, would do credit to more experienced and celebrated performers. The most
commendable feature of the entertainment was the strict avoidance—with one exception—of everything
of a vulgar character, so common in Ethiopian delineations.
CHAMPION RESTAURANT.—J. Blackford, late of the Washington Restaurant and boarding
house, Grass Valley, has opened the Champion Restaurant, in the brick building adjoining the
Commercial Saloon, kept by Charley Braun, and designs keeping a fire class eating house. Mr.
Blackford’s patrons will be served with meals at all hours, and in a manner that cannot fail to get
satisfaction; and those who desire will be furnished with cigars, and all kinds of exhilarating fluids, by
calling upon Charley, in the adjoining room.
POLICE MATTERS.—Harry Hill was sentenced on Saturday, by Justice Palmer, to thirty days
imprisonment in the county jail, for the offense of disturbing the peace, of which he had been previously
convicted. On the charge of being a common drunkard, the jury found him guilty, but recommended him
to the mercy of the Court; in consideration of which recommendation, the Court sentenced him to only
ten days on this charge. We understand that charges have also been judged against two or three other
vagrants and common drunkards.
MONTGOMERY’S LECTURE.—The lecture of Hon. Zach. Montgomery at the Theater, Friday
evening, was attended by a respectable audience, though the room being uncomfortably cold, many left
before the conclusion. His idea of the manner in which the school system should be established is briefly
this: To let school teaching be open to competition, parents to send their children to whoever they think
best, and each teacher draw from the school fund in proportion to the number of his pupils.
MINING ACCIDENT. A man named Solomon Wolf was killed in his mining claim at Blue Tent,
on Friday afternoon, by the bank caving upon him. He was using the pick at the time of the
accident, and was killed instantly, his head being crushed by the falling earth. The unfortunate
man was about fifty years of age, and was formerly from Noble county, Ohio.
