25 JANUARY 31, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
died of smallpox, a few days ago, at San Jose. He has been a student at the State Normal
School for some time. Deceased was highly esteemed in this community.
REPORTED DEATH.—It is reported that Richard Dillon of Eureka South (Graniteville). Deputy
County Assessor, died at his residence last Sunday. It is hoped by the many friends of Dick Dillon
that the report is entirely unfounded.
Since the above was in type a telegraph received by Dennis Meagher says that Dick is not only
alive but is getting much better.
A SUCCESS.—The entertainment given last Saturday night by the Grass Valley Lyceum folk was
a gratifying success, and all who attended had much enjoyment for two or three hours. The debate
on the woman question was spirited, and showed a great deal of research on the part of those who
discussed the question, and yet we are not satisfied in our mine as to whether the women should
vote. The pretty ones might be allowed the privilege by way of experiment. The pretty ones can not
do any harm in any affair except in “shaking the saintship of an anchorite.”
THAT MINERS’ MEETING.—Our correspondent at Smartsville was quick enough to inform us
of a meeting to be held at Smartsville last Saturday night, but he has not told us what was done at the
meeting. The important part of the affair is the proceedings of the meeting. Some Smartsville man
will please send us word on the subject.
WAGES.—The Nevada Transcript of yesterday says:
We understand that the North Bloomfield Company have posted notices at their dry
houses, that wages will be reduced in the mine after February ist, twenty-five cents per day,
and after May ist, fifty cents. The Milton Company will adopt the same rates. The wages
above Bloomfield are to remain the same. At least no action showing the contrary, has, as
yet, been taken by mine owners.
