34 FEBRUARY 10, 11, 13, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
did not get enough to pay interest on the goods they sold. All that is remedied now, and the
mining companies have paid off all indebtedness and the town is flourishing again. The town
is still small, however, the business portion of it consisting of one hotel and two saloons.
The business part of the town of the place was burned in July last. Hereafter the miners
will receive their wages on the first of each month. We hear of no reduction of wages in that
district.
At You Bet the Nevada company is washing from two points, using a large head of water at
each, which is utilized to the best advantage. The Neece and West, Waloopa, and Red Dog
Claims are all washing. Hussey & Co. have turned on water and are washing through their new
tunnel, and are making a splendid opening.
On Saturday, the 27th ult. A blast consisting of 385 kegs of powder was exploded in the Neece
and West claim at You Bet. The force of the explosion sent the rock and gravel into the air with
great force, destroying the blacksmith shop and the wood shed. It broke the windows turned
over and smashed the tables and bedheads in Mr. Wondermack’s house, which is situated a
short distance from the mine. One rock passed through a cabin on Hankton Cafion, about half
a mile distant. A lady, two men and a boy were injured by the flying rocks, but their injuries
are not considered dangerous.

KILLED BY A SNOW PLOW. The Reno (Nev.) Journal of the 10th says: “The body of James
Wilson, supposed to have been killed by a snow-plow, was found Thursday forenoon near
the railroad track, about one mile below Truckee. The finding of a man’s foot on the track
led to a search, and resulted in the discovery of the body. Wilson was a native of Ireland,
aged about thirty years. He had been employed by the railroad company for some years.
The body was much mutilated. Blood was found on the apron of the snow-plow on January
17, which probably indicates the time of his death.

BOYS AT THE THEATRE.—A few days ago the Grass Valley UNION had a severe
criticism upon the conduct of the boys at the Theatre, on the occasion of the last
entertainment given there. When the same company came here, our boys behaved so well
we were tempted to draw a comparison between the boys of the two towns. Glad we didn’t
do it now, for the conduct of our boys at the Theatre on Friday evening, was no better than
hoodlums of other towns. Parents should not allow their children to go to the Theatre alone,
unless they are sure they know how to behave themselves.—Nevada Transcript.
It is all talk about parents not allowing children to go to the theatres. The children that go to public
meetings and stamp and whistle and curse and yell are the masters. They don’t allow their parents
