BY, fe ig! At the city, ’ iG . st ap. House We r! Unand . Ne roods ving ‘es in hap r} ll de = se od -~ ES, a9 ng, —_—— NEVADA CITY. y ? “LOCAL AFFAIRS. RicH QUARTZ LEDGE DISCOVERED.— Avery large quartz ledge was discovered a short time since, at a place known as Grizzly ’” Ridge, near the tewn of Columbia Hill,-in this county. The discoverers went to work in earnest and, traced the lode a considerable distance. Finding they had a. big lead, whether it woald pay or not, they took out a large quantity of rock. As they proceeded on it, it grew in size ond looked admirably. Aday or two ago-a chunk was picked up and brought to this city fur assay. On Friday last a return was made which proved the astounding fact’ that-it assayed over fs $500 to the ton. On the strength of this an _excitement-was-got up, prospecters started out, and some seven or eight ledges were struck near that place, and probably some] of them will prove to be very rich. . Our informant tells us that he would not be sulprised if two. or three mills were erected there during the ceming season, provided any arrangement can be made with capitalists. The great drawback is now, as it ever has been to that section of our county, the great distance to haul the rock to test it.— We know Nevada county is the richest quartz county in this State, but we lack live men to-prospect and twenty or thirty more mills—and we will have them one of these days, and they will reap a rich reward for. their euvrgy and capital. Sete We have since learned the ledge above referred to is fourteen teet thick, and is now claimed by other parties. A law suit will follow. ~ QUARTZ.—As soon as the storm clears up and the ground is in goed order, we believe there will be more prospecting done than has ever been known in this -part of the county. The excitement in this live is high, and it it will not be long before we will be able to record richer strikes than ever be. fore. A few years ago, when men commenced prospecting and found a ledge, nosvoner was it heralded abroad, then fullowed the fact, in imagination, that it-had “petered.” When a lead is discovered now, if it happens to give out after a little work has been doue, in nine cases-out of ten, it is found again and richer the deeper it is gone duwno on. Many of the richest claims in this vicinity.have been taken up time and time again aiid been abandoned as often. Union Company.—This Company whu own claims on Deer Creek, just below the Cornish mill, were last week engaged in repairing the damage done by the storm a few weeks ago. The Creek raised so high that their dams, ete., were completely swept away, and they had just commenced fixing up when the present storm came to “knock things intow cocked hat.” As svon as the storm is over they will go at it again and are confident of receiviug large returns for their labor. . RAIN GUAGE.—We learn from A. W. Lester, that the amount of rain which bas fallen, (according to the guage kept atthe office of the South Yuba Canal Co.,-in this city,) from Thursday morning at 94 o’clock te yesterday morning at the same time—48 hours—was 3 inches and. 66 ene-hundredths. The total amount fur the month of March, was J2 inches and 5 one-hundreths. Grand total for the season up to 94 o'clock yesterday morning, was fifty-one inches and ninety. eight and three quarters hundredths of an inch. Tue storm is doing great damage to miners who have claims in creeks, ravines and rivers. Most of the miners not anticipating so heavy a storm this month, took adVantage of what pleasant weather we had _ and got their dams, flumes, &c. nearly com-_ “pleted. Everything done isa total loses PLEASANT VALLEY,—This place is looking up some. We learn that the ravine claims ewned by Hanson, Thompson & Co.; Pierce & Co. and some three or four other companies are dving well, and their pros pect for the future is decidedly good. LiveLy.—The New York Company, Star Spangled Banner, Union Company and Sogge’ Mill, employ over 200 men. There are some twenty or thirty other companies in this vicinity that give employment to from 6 to.20 men each. THE Chinese companies working on Deer . Creek, near-the Anthony House, are taking out considerable gold. The Johns ceusider that they have struck a big thing. Hevada Daily Transeript . ‘} are found gullies, rocks, and at intervals ze RoaDs.—'The roads are in a most miseras ble condition. The ‘places where roads. ought to be, are still left,but in their stead: lakes of mud. Slides have uccurred in the ruads -leading over the mountaius,' and streams run by the side, under, aver.and making them diffleult of travel. Jehu sits muttering an inward eurse as the unusual bumping of the coach tosses him at will on the bux. Other tean.s seem to have ‘suapended work till hetter weather. will permit them to fix the roads. The road to Colfax ig in bad condition; great mud holes nearly engulfing teams appearing at short distances. The roads leading over the mountains to Virginia city, are next thing to impassable. About one wéek of sun shine would -be an efficient antidote to this diseased state of the roads. : ——ARRAH-NASPOGUE.—On Monday evening April 9th., Boucicault and House's famed ‘drama of Arrah-na-Pogue willbe played for the first time in this city. Everything that can be done in the way of emery ttscts and tableaux will be. accomplished. Mrs. Sedley Brown, the original “Arrah” in California when the play achieved the unheard of “run’’ of fifty consecutive nights in San Francisco, will appear “as “Arab of the Kiss,” supported by the full company. Mrs. Judah, the best actressin her line on ‘the Pacific coast, will lend great strength to the cast. Aside .from.its reputation, the intrin= sic merit of the piece should attract fulland4 overflewing lrouses. The box ; Sheet will be4 open on Friday morning next at 11.0’clock, When séats may be secured, and asthe play will only be produced on Monday and Tuesday, all who wish to see the greatest play of modern times, should not fail to be in time. BaLL.—All lovers of dancing should not forget the Grand Ball to be given byMrs. _P. Addams, at the New York Hotel} on to-. morrow evening. Good music has been‘secured and a fine supper will be gotten up. Mrs. Addams has the reputation of giving good satisfaction to all of her patrons. THE SvicibE.—The man who committed suicide at Montezuma Hill on Thursday last, was. a returned soldier. He had served three years on this coast. His name is Phil. McCarty, aged about 37 years, and formerly resided at Brown's Hill, near Red Dog and at Grass Valley. THE programmes put out from this office for the performance last evening at the Theatre; were printed on Thursday last for Friday evening, and not being used for that evening, were sent-out-for-Saturday without having the date. ehanged. So you see the fault was not ours ussome seem to think. RaUROAD Bitt.—The bilt-te regulate fares and freights on-raitroads has has passed both houses of the Legislature. The eharges by this law, from Sacramento to Colfax, for freight from Sacramento to Colfax $6 30 per ton—old rate $8 25, Tne Sedley Brown Troupe will comTheatre on Monday evening next. The play on the opening night is the beautiful spectacle entitled the ‘Bronze Horse.” We hope they will be well received in our neighboring town. It is without exaggeration the best company that ever performed at Hamilton Hall. Sunpa¥ Scuoot CuncertT.—On Sunday evening, at 74 v’clock, the Sunday School of the Congregatiunal Church will ‘hold their regular Concert. The exercises will be mainly by the children, consisting of singing. scripture recitations, select readings and addresses. All are cordially invited to be present. THE HIBERNICON.—Our readers should not forget that the Hibernicon, er a tour through Ireland, will be unrolled at the Theatre in this city, on to-morrow evening. It is-really-worth seeing.
