what they had been taught.

between Nevada City and Grass
Valley. Hearst gave it that
name, with variation in spelling
in memory of the river in which
he learned to swim as a boy.
When he found the Merrimac
ledge he had that old “lucky”
feeling. Immediately the ledge
yielded rich gold specimens

Northern Mines, ‘‘picture gold’’,
the miners called it. —
Hearst perfected the legal title _
to the mine, formed a company,
and began work on his first
quartz mine. Now he knew he
would be a millionaire.
Hearst worked the Merrimac
mine superficially in order to
retain it under the quartz laws of
the county. He knew it was a
good mine, but it would cost
more money to develop it than at
that time he could command.
Later he sold his interest to
Joseph Woodworth, Thomas
Findley, Henry Scadden, A. E.
Head and George D. Roberts.
Roberts became one of the
great figures of California gold
mining. At one time he owned
the great Empire Mine in Grass
Valley. He was the first to use
quicksilver on the tables of a
quartz mill. The discovery was
soon adopted everywhere. The
new owners, after Hearst,
developed the Merrimac, put up
a ten stamp mill, tunneled the
ground for a distance of eight
hundred feet and struck it rich.
The George Hearst story of
gold and silver fortunes in
Nevada City and the State of
Nevada will conclude in Chapter

Seven Hills students
planning an art show
Excitement is at a.peak at
Seven Hills as we get ready for
our first all-school art show!
Every home room is
represented. in fourth through
eighth in many different
projects. There will be art-inaction, too, with students
demonstrating projects.
-, Viewers mav browse, as all
demonstrations are simiultaneously happening.
_. Projects include clay, papier
mache, mosaics, paint, crayons,
chalk, paper and there are many
really unusual things such as art
in math. The show is Tuesday
between 7 and 7:45 p.m.,
preceding the PTC meeting, and
everyone is welcome. Please
come! Mrs. Nancy Evans is the
coordinator.
The seventh grade classes at
Seven Hills enjoyed a visit from
American Field Service student
Kassu Sene, whose home is
Ethiopia. He lives in a village
called Nazarith, 60 miles south
of Addis Ababa. He is staying
with a Nevada City family, and
will be here until July.
Kassu talked of many interesting differences found in
his. country, and answered
questions from the seventh
grade students about alphabets,
required classes in schoo!, cost
of items, clothing styles, and
when a youth may drive a car.
His alphabet has 260 syllables,
and the words are learned by
syllables, rather than phonetic
spelling. Would it be easier to
learn to spell or to memorize all
those syllables?
Representatives of the Heart
Association came to visit the
fourth grades in honor of
National Nutrition Week, and
demonstrated and played games
about the Big Four. Those are
the basic: groups of foods, fruits
and vegetables, milk and dairy
products, breads and cereals,
meats, fish and poultry. There
were two representatives for
each fourth grade, so everyone
got to participate.
