146 JUNE 19 & 20, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
known to most of our citizens, died in San Francisco last Friday. His remains are to be
taken to the East.
GRANITEVILLE ITEMS.—The following items are from the Nevada Transcript: “A gentleman
who came down on Saturday last from Graniteville, informs us that the Erie Company struck a fivefoot ledge on Friday last, which is the richest of any rock that has ever been found in that district.
He informs us that there is a very large seam of gold running through the ledge, and scarcely a
piece of the rock but what shows gold. The Erie is under the superintendence of J. B. Holland, and is
owned by a San Francisco man. .. . Forty men passed through Graniteville on Friday, on their way
to the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Co.’s dam. It will be remembered that last Winter the dam
was injured by fire and flood, and the company have been unable to repair it until now. Work was
commenced on it last Saturday. We are also informed that there is a great scarcity of men in Eureka
township, and it is impossible to find enough to supply the demand. . . .”
THE BERGER FAMILY.—Monday and Tuesday, of next week, the Berger family are to appear in
Grass Valley. They will give the best treat, in a musical way, that Grass Valley has enjoyed for some
time....
CALICO PARTY.—Desirous of affording the ladies and gentlemen who have so liberally
patronized the skating rink, Mr. McDonald, the gentlemanly proprietor, will give a Calico Party at
the rink, next Thursday evening, the 20th inst. The evening’s amusement will consist entirely of
dancing, and as usual at the rink parties, the best of music will be provided for the occasion. The
tickets of admission will be $1 50; ladies free.
CATTLE.—A large band of cattle, some two hundred head of cows, heifers and calves passed
through town yesterday morning followed by three emigrant wagons, duly equipped with pots,
kettles, beds, women and children, etc., etc., and all heading for the cow counties or somewhere else.
DEPARTED.—Pete Hansen left yesterday for Eureka, over in Nevada, where he will be
located for some time, and where he will be engaged in an extensive charcoal business. He has
been over here for a few days to get teams to do work on the other side. Charcoal burning is a very
remunerative business in the silver regions.
WHEEL OFF.—The stage for Colfax carrying the delegates to the Democratic State Convention,
broke down on Auburn street yesterday morning. We are pleased to learn that none of the Greeley
delegates were injured.
THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1872
BORN. At Rough and Ready, June 15, 1872, to AUGUSTUS BAGLEY and Wife, a Daughter.
At Grass Valley, June 15, 1872, to W. K. SPENCER and Wife, a Son.
[MARRIED.] We have received a very handsome ticket which reads as follows: “The pleasure
of your company is respectfully solicited to the Nuptial Ceremony of M. Samuel and Sarah
Wolf, on Sunday, June 23d, 1872, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Newman, No. 916
Sutter street, at 4 o'clock, P.M.” We conclude that our friend Mose is to be married.
THE SUICIDE.—Young [Barney] Miner who committed suicide at Truckee on the 16th, had
advertised to lecture at Good Templar’s Hall at that place on the resources of Nebraska,
Wyoming, Utah, etc., but failing to put in an appearance at the appointed hour he was
found in his room dead.
