GRASS VALLEY UNION OCTOBER 1 & 2, 1874 201
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1874
BORN. At Grass Valley, Sept. 29, 1874, to JOHN PHILLIPS and Wife, a Daughter.
At Union Hill, near Grass Valley, Sept. 26, 1874, to JOHN SULLIVAN and Wife, a Daughter.
CLIPPINGS,
Ten tons of telegraph wire are lying at Truckee. It is for the Western Union line and is destined
to connect Sierra City and Downieville.
Over 900 Indians in the Ukiah District have applied for membership in the Methodist Church.
ROLL OF HONOR.—The following scholars are entitled to a place upon the Roll of Honor in
the Union Hill School: Ella Sheridan, Lou Provine, Josie Fitzgerald, Mary Richardson, Annie Duval,
Annie Sheridan, Dolly Provine, Mary Maguire, Minnie Shields, Richard Maguire, Joseph Maguire,
Edward Purett, Richard Barrett, Richard Fitzgerald, John Delury, Mitchel Cota, Jeff Provines, Harry
Skelton and Henry Shields. The following named scholars deserve Honorable mention, having made
over ninety per cent upon a written examination in spelling of fifty words, John Delury 100; Dolly
Porvines [sic]. 98; Mar Maguire, 96; Richard Fitzgerald, 96; Richard Maguire, 64 [sic].
BROKEN DOWN.—The bridge over the flume at the west end of Chinatown was crushed day
before yesterday by the Chinamen having several cords of oak wood piled upon it. The large timbers
on one side are broken and the planks are lying loosely on them, to the danger of all teams that pass
over it. That bridge should be looked after before anyone gets hurt.
IN GRASS VALLEY.—Mr. J. J. Courtney, a prominent London mine owner, and President of the
Union Hill Mining Company, was in town yesterday. He is largely interested in mines on this coast,
many of them being in this county. Whether Mr. Courtney’s visit here means that the Union Hill
mine is soon to be started up, we are unable to say. He was through the Idaho mine yesterday, and
expressed himself as greatly pleased with appearances there.
HOTEL SALE.—We understand that the Golden Eagle Hotel, on the corner of Mill and Bank
streets, has been purchased by Mr. A. B. Dibble, who will hereafter take charge of the house. The A.
B. Dibble who has embarked in the hotel business is not the distinguished attorney and counselor at
law of the same name, although the attorney could run a hotel if he wanted to.
WOOL TRADE OF TRUCKEE.—The Truckee Republican of the 29th says: “A load of
wool (2,500 pounds) was received here yesterday for shipment to San Francisco. It came from
Independence Lake, from the sheep ranch of J. L. Moore. The total wool shipment thus far this
season from Truckee amounts to nearly 70,000 pounds.”
HAND HURT.—Casper Samuel, one of the most active of the Grass Valley firemen, had
his right hand badly lacerated, last Sunday, while he was climbing up on the roof of the burning
building. It was just luck that his thumb was not torn off. It is some risk to be a fireman in this part of
the country.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1874

At Grass Valley, October 1, 1874, to H. VOGELMANN and Wife, a Daughter.

RAINFALL.—Wednesday night last there was quite a nice little shower which partially laid the
