NEVADA CITY ITEMS.—We copy from the Nevada Transcript of yesterday, the following local:
MINERS’ MEETING.—It was rumored in town yesterday that the miners of this
vicinity contemplated calling a meeting for the purpose of considering the Giant Powder
question. Many of them have taken exceptions to the advertisement of the North Bloomfield
Company, which is published in the Transcript, requiring recommendations from their
former employers, and other matters all of which will be brought before the meeting. We
have not learned where or when it will take place.
DELEGATES.—The following is a complete list of the delegates to the Republican State
Convention, from this county. The delegates should study the Goat Island question, as with that
little matter they will have to deal. The delegates are: M. S. Deal, Chas. Marsh, John S. Dunn, A.
A. Mulloy, J. M. Days, O. P. Stidger, Jas. A. Marriott, E. Kreig, W. H. Duryea, Penbroke Murray, F.
Henry, A. L. Slack.
PICNIC.—The May time is close by and picnics are talked about. The Nevada city school
children will have a Mayday out on the Crandall road, back of the race track on the first of that
month. They expect to have a grand holiday. The Grass Valley schools do not seem to be picnically
inclined as yet, but there is plenty of time for them to get that annual fever.
GAS WORKS.—A. A. Mulloy has purchased the Grass Valley Gas works, and he is now sole
proprietor of that light giving institution. Mr. Mulloy has been managing these works for some time,
and has so managed them that everybody rejoices in the fact of his becoming their owner. The price
paid for the works, according to the deed, was $10,000.
APPOINTMENTS.—It is stated that James Smart, lately of this place has been appointed to a
lucrative positon in the United States Branch Mint of San Francisco. We are not informed as to the
precise position which Mr. Smart is called upon to fill. John Hawke, of Nevada city, has been made a
mail agent on the Central Pacific Railroad. Both of these appointees have gone to work.
J. P. HAWLEY.—The Virginia, (Nev.) Chronicle is the authority for saying that Thomas p.
Hawley, formerly of this county, will be a candidate before the Republican Convention of the State of
Nevada for nomination for Justice of the Supreme Court. Those old Nevada county fellows always go
for the big places.
