6 JANUARY 16, 17, 18, 1867 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT

organization will be called at an early day.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1867
ROAD FROM DUTCH FLAT TO YOU BET.—A good road connecting You Bet with Dutch Flat
has been long talked of and greatly needed, as it would open a good road from Nevada to the upper
portion of Placer county, and shorten the line of communication by many miles. A company is being
organized and there is a fair prospect of the completion of the road at an early day. This corporation
proposes to construct a plank and turnpike road, and a meeting will be held at the office of Wells, Fargo
& Co., in Dutch Flat, on the 23d day of January, for preliminary organization.
The route has already been viewed and it is thought a good road with easy grades can be obtained.
The company proposed to commence at the Pacific Brewery, Dutch Flat, and run down Dutch Flat ravine
to reach Bear river at Gardiner’s crossing; thence down the divide to the Little York and You Bet crossing
on Steep Hollow, and thence up the divide to You Bet, where the new road will connect with the Nevada
road. The proposed road will form a new link, and give Nevada direct communication with Dutch Flat
over an easy road. It will open a more direct route than we now have to the State of Nevada, from Nevada
and Sierra counties.
DISTRICT COURT, Jan. 16th. [Amelia] Flinthoff vs [Thomas] Flinthoff. Referred to Jos. Kutz to
take testimony and report to the Court.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION.—Louis Castine and John Napoleon [aka Jean Marie Jonan],
charged with murdering Andy Johnson, [Johanson] at Kate Hayes Flat, on Sunday evening, were brought
up before Justice Kendall, in this city, yesterday, for preliminary examination. The case was continued
until next Saturday morning at 10 o’clock to enable the witnesses to be procured.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1867
DIED. At Quaker Hill, on the 17th inst., Mrs. Gephart, mother of Mrs. Geo. F. Jacobs [Sarah A.
Gephart], aged 75 years. The funeral will take place from the residence of George F. Jacobs, at
Quaker Hill, today, at 1 o’clock.
SURVEY COMPLETED.—The boundary survey between Nevada and Placer counties, made by
order of the Board of Supervisors of this county by Deputy United States Surveyor Freeman, has been
completed and the map is on file at the County Clerk’s office. The initial point is a pine tree about one
quarter of a mile south of the initial point fixed upon by Placer county. The field notes accompanying
Freeman’s survey describe a spring of water near this tree as the source of the river and no water was
found upon the surface above the tree. Freeman’s line runs considerably south of the line run by the
State Surveyor, and if adopted as the boundary will give Nevada county a number of miles more of the
railroad.
CHANGED HANDS.—The Nevada and Grass Valley stage line has been sold by Cleveland &
Roys [Royce] to Henry Brown of Little York township. Cleveland & Roys have owned this line about
two years, having purchased from the administrators of Harry Cady. They have made hosts of friends
who will miss them from the line. Frank Cleveland has been driving on this road since 1856. Hank
Brown, the new proprietor, is an “old stager” and a lucky miner. He is an old resident of the county,
