20 JANUARY 23 & 24, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
can be obtained from all of them. At present no stoping is being done, and only rock from the main
drift is taken out. When the mill is ready for crushing, sufficient ground will be open to keep the
stamps constantly supplied with quartz. The arrangements of the hoisting works and mill have been
with a view to labor saving and economy in working, and we doubt if any mine in the district will be
run as cheaply for the amount of the work performed.
The batteries, of five stamps each, stamps weighing 350 pounds, will be fed by two of Tullock’s
self-feeders, a valuable mill improvement of which we have heretofore spoken. With all the facilities
for mining and milling, the Superintendent is firm in the expression that he can make rock that will
yield only five dollars per ton pay. From all the developments made the Company are satisfied with
their prospects, and we think with good reason, and that not far in the future the stockholders will
have the assurance of owning a very valuable property. The headquarters of the Company are at San
Francisco, and the owners, we believe, are either all residents of that city, or at the east. Mr. N. B.
Childs is the President, and to his energy and confidence to the property, the district acquires a new
enterprise which promises to rank among our best mines.
DANCING CLASS.—Mr. Millington will be in Grass Valley next Wednesday, when he will meet
his dancing classes, at the usual hours
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1877
PLAN OF SETTLEMENT.
The measure pending in Congress, which looks to the solution of the difficulties surrounding
the Presidential question, are good, right and proper. The plan of leaving the decision of any
question which may arise in counting the electoral votes, and which question Congress can not
agree upon, to Justices of the Supreme Court, seems to us to be eminently proper. These questions
must be left to some sort of a tribunal for decision. If men of sense and cool and trained judgments,
and impartiality, can not be trusted to give fair decisions on all questions which may arise on the
counting of those votes, to whom can the country look for fairness in the matter? . .. We observe that
the business men of the country are in favor of the proposed plan and that it is meeting with more
favor every day from the press. ...
REVIVALS.—It is now definitely settled that Messrs. Moody and Sankey will visit California,
and will labor to convert the wicked of this State. In order to prepare the field for these harvesters it
has been decided by many of the churches to devote one hundred days to special revival efforts. We
believe that these special efforts are now being made.
It is supposed that Moody and Sankey will visit Grass Valley, after they shall have awakened
San Francisco and other wicked places. Their call here will be, probably, merely one of felicitation
and congratulations, and not for the purpose of making people any better than they now are. It is
difficult to conceive of where there could be any more room for goodness in Grass Valley. But Grass
Valley must be ready to reinforce the attack on the wicked towns, and to that end an hundred days
service here will mobilize the reinforcing army.
SOIREE.—Messrs. Scott & Parks will give a dancing party, at Hamilton Hall, next Friday, the
26th instant. All are invited to attend.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.—The Grass Valley C. S. Club held a meeting last Saturday and
elected following officers to serve during the term: C. W. Kitts, President; J. C. Conaway, Vice
President; E. A. Roberts, Secretary; A. Berg, Treasurer, and W. H. Morgan, Conductor.
