Watsonville, and Rev. Wesley Peck to Santa Cruz. We presume that Mr. Gober will preach here next
Sunday.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—Last Monday evening a painful accident occurred at De Golias Mill, in
this township, of which Judson De Golia was the victim. He got his hand caught by the circular saw
in the mill which resulted in a very bad, torn wound. Drs. Webster and Davis amputated the thumb
and forefinger. The patent is now doing well.
OWING to a relapse of his recent illness, that of enlargement of the heart, Mr. E. E. Fisher has
been unable to open his Jewelry Store, according to his expectations. He will, however, be open by
Saturday.
Ridge Items.
The Nevada Transcript says:
We obtain the following item from a gentleman of this city who has recently visited the
Ridge. He informs us that times are very lively at North Bloomfield, and scarcely any idle
man can be seen there during the day. Money is more plentiful there than in any other town
of its size in the county.
A short distance from town two new shafts are being sunk for blue gravel lead, and the
prospect of striking it very soon is very flattering.
Anew brick yard has been started in the town and arrangements are being made for
burning bricks on an extensive scale. The first kiln will contain 150,000 bricks, and work
has already been commenced on it. The material for making them is said to be equal, if
not better than any to be obtained in the State—therefore the new enterprise in North
Bloomfield,
—The Centennial Quartz Mine, in God’s country, near the old Starr mine, have started
up their new mill. The ledges look well and the coppers are making a splendid showing of
amalgam. The Centennial is a good mine, as will be thoroughly demonstrated in a short
time. The owners are Hugh Dundon, Dick Didon and others whose names we have forgotten
—The Republic Mining Company are running their 20-stamp mill night and day, and
they are doing well. We were unable to ascertain at what rate per ton the rock was yielding,
but we can say that the owners and Superintendent are perfectly satisfied, and we rather
guess everybody else ought to be. The Republic is what was formerly known as the “Snapp”
mine, which is situated about two miles from Graniteville.
—The Milton Mining and Water Company have over three hundred men at work on
the English Dam, and they expect to have it completed in about six weeks, if they are not
interrupted by Fall rains, which are not likely to come judging from the present state of the
weather.
—All the ditches on the Ridge are running full of water. That part of our county is very
prosperous, and its future never looked better than now.

Persons and Things.
Those who do not want Chinatown rebuilt should take active measures to purchase the land
site. Splendid gardens and residences for white folks can be made there. The owners of the
land cannot afford to let the ground lay idle. A fine park could be formed on the site of the late
Chinatown.
