IMPORTANT MINING ENTERPRISE.—The Nevada Transcript of the 10th says: “Duryea &
Rose have purchased the extensive mining claims, ditches and water rights of [John] Timmons,
in the vicinity of Chalk Bluff, Little York township for $100,000. This purchase includes valuable
mining claims, a four-sevenths interest in the Irish ditch and other water rights. Heretofore these
claims have not been very systematically worked. The purchasers have secured the outlet with all
advantages necessary to the successful working of the mines, and they purpose to fit up as early as
possible for washing. When properly opened, these claims will be among the most valuable in the
county.”
A CHINESE CHRISTENING.—The Truckee Republican of the 1oth inst., has this:
The infant son of the Hon. Wah Lee and Mrs. Wah Lee, aged 4, was christened to-day
at the residence of the parents on China street. Presents to the value of $100 in gold and
silver ornaments wee contributed by the friends of the parents and placed in the hands of
the infant and future Chinaman. A large number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wah Lee,
American as well as Chinese, visited the charming residence of the parents this afternoon
to see the infant, its costly gifts, and congratulate the parents. The child was christened not
for Christ but Confucius. The parents were exceedingly happy over the event, and the wife,
Mrs. Lee, who is only 17, and very pretty, received the many visitors with great courtesy.

LOCAL BREVITIES.—Christmas tricks can be found in every part of the town. Toys are
plenty and Young America should be happy this year. There was a sort of hopeful cloud in the
southern part of the sky yesterday afternoon. The miners think the rains may soon come.
Step around to the Methodist church to-night and see the splendid display of things suitable for
Christmas presents. They are very desirable, to s ay nothing of the worthiness of the object.
Prof. Henning, Principal of the Grass Valley High School, will be absent for the next two weeks.
He will spend the holidays at San Jose. He will return in ample time to resume the duties of
the place he so satisfactorily fills as a teacher.
MORE OF THE CHINESE RIOT.—The Truckee Republican of the 19th says: “The two
Chinamen known to have been shot on Tuesday, on the occasion of the arrest of a Chinawoman, are
still living, and may possibly recover. Constable Cross, who left for Nevada city on Tuesday evening
with the Chinawoman, was arrested at Dutch Flat by a telegraphic dispatch, and he returned the
same night to Truckee bringing his prisoner with him. Cross was charged with shooting a Chinaman
