NEVADA CITY.

“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.

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.
