9 JANUARY 12 & 13, 1886 GRASS VALLEY UNION
The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Town Trustees will be held this evening.
There was a jury trial before Justice Paynter yesterday for a breach of the peace on the part of
several young men for an attempted assault upon Frank Conlin, contractor for constructing
the new Idaho ditch.
The Little York public school has been closed, as there were but three school children, when
some years ago there were between thirty and forty.
Truckee Republican: The skaters have held high carnival the past three weeks at the ice pond. It
has been several seasons since the skating has been as good and as long continued as it is this
season. The crowning point will be reached when Donner Lake freezes over.
Transcript: The Bird’s Eye [sic] Creek mine in Little York township, this county, owned by an
English company, has paid a dividend of $7500, the second of the same amount for 1885.
North Star Mine.
There are now 120 miners working underground in the North Star mine. This is a good showing
for the old mine which was condemned and shut down by its then owners some years ago. The mine
is now paying considerably over expenses every month, and it is quite possible that regular monthly
dividends are not far off.
Personal.
George Gepbard leaves for home, Los Angeles, to-day. He has been having a pleasant time of it
while visiting here, except with the Board of Supervisors.
The Hydraulickers Settle the Bill.
E. A. Davis, attorney for the Anti-Debris Association, received a letter from Geo. Lord,
Sheriff of Nevada county Saturday, giving the information that the Eureka Lake and Yuba
Canal Co. on the 8th instant paid to him $500, the amount of the last fine imposed on that
company for contempt of Court in disobeying the injunction granted by the Superior Court
of Yuba county in the case of Yuba county vs. the Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company.
This is the last of four fines which have been imposed on the Company for violations of the
injunction restraining it from hydraulic mining. The other three are now before the United
States Supreme Court where they were taken by the defendants on writs of error from the
Supreme Court of the State. The plaintiffs have moved to have the writs dismissed which
will, in all probability, be done, and the defendants compelled to pay the three remaining
fines.—Marysville Appeal.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1886
Arrested on Suspicion.
A fire broke out in Loney’s building, corner of Commercial and Pine streets, Nevada City,
yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock, but was extinguished by the prompt action of the Fire
Department, the principal damage to the property being done by flooding the building with water.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons-Schmidt, who has figured extensively before the courts as a litigant and a
disturber of the peace, was found in the premises in an intoxicated condition, and was arrested on
suspicion of having started the fire.
Persons and Things.
The cloud and sunshine of yesterday was a reminder of an April day. A light shower of rain fell
on Monday night.
