201 SEPTEMBER 23 & 24, 1876 GRASS VALLEY UNION
CITIZENS BANK.—The Nevada Transcript of yesterday says:
The new Bank, under the above name, was opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock,
as announced in the Transcript a few days ago it would be, at the old stand on Broad
street. The proposition of John W. Hinds, to the creditors of the old Bank, having been
accepted, the result was the opening of the new Bank. As soon as the doors were thrown
open yesterday business commenced in the way of purchasing gold dust, selling checks,
and money being placed on deposit. Mr. Hinds was on hand to attend to the business, as
was also Mr. Preston, the President. Our people were much pleased at the opening, and
all seemed to feel that good times were in store for them, and the greatest confidence was
manifested in the new concern. A large number of the leading citizens yesterday deposited
all the money they had laid away, deeming the Bank a safer place than keeping it at their
stores or residences. The new Bank has the best wishes of our people for its success.
IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.—The copy for the printing of the Great Register of this county
can not be retained later than the 4th day of October. Citizens of the county entitled to vote at the
November election, not already registered, if they wish their names to be found on the printed copy,
should register before that time. Affidavits of citizens entitled to registration, in the hand of all
parties authorized to administer oaths, should be sent to the County Clerk before the 4th of October.
Blank affidavits will be furnished by the County Clerk, as heretofore, upon request, for registration
under Section 1097 of the Political Code, as amended.
BAD REPORT.—Most of our Grass Valley readers remember Walker, who used to run a
blacksmith shop here and they will find difficulty in crediting the following bad report concerning
him, which is furnished by a Graniteville (Eureka South) correspondent of the Nevada Transcript.
That correspondent says:
The citizens of Graniteville, and especially those who have dealings with the California
mine, were thrown into a state of excitement by the announcement that Mr. Walker, the
Superintendent of the mine, has cleaned up the mine, taken the amalgam on his shoulders
and walked off, leaving the miners without paying them a dollar, and we are sorry to
chronicle the fact that the report proved true, and that a great many poor hard working
miners have been swindled out of their hard worked for earnings. The men have confidence
in the mine, and have appointed Trustees and taken it in their [own] hands, and propose
to work it themselves until they get their money out, and we hope they meet with success.
Report has it that Walker was seen at Cisco on the C. P. road, going East.
ACARD.
I beg to return my grateful thanks to those generous, but unknown friends, who so kindly and
unostentatiously aided in compensating me for the loss I sustained in the late burglary. Their kind sympathy is
highly appreciated. EDW. PIDSLEY.

An Elopement in Virginia City.
The Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle of last Friday gives us a romance which concerns parties well
known in Grass Valley. That paper says:
To-day, when the time keeper of the morning shift of the Con. Virginia checked off the
men present, Charles Caine was found to be absent. The work in the Bonanza, however,
went on as usual. The reason of Caine’s neglect to be on hand to pick the argentiferous
deposits from the lower level is easily explained.
For some time past Charley has been enamored of a young girl named Ellen McSwiggin,
