She Huily Granseript, WEDNESDAY, APRIL'12, 1871. With an area almost equal to the State of Rhode Island, extending from the foot hills to the summit of the Sis erras; anda climate“as healthfal asany: in the world, a soil capable of yielding all the fruits of the temperate zone, Nevada county is capable of sustaining an immense population, even without the development of mineral wealth.— The same amount of labor, capital and paeray expended’ upon this county as ave made the Eastern and Central States what they are, would convert this county into a garden spot, and dot its hills-with thriving towns. ‘Bit in addition to all these advantages, the county is one of the richest in mineral resources in the world, These, though much more advanced-in development than in many other sections, have as yet received but little attention, when their extent and value are concerned. It has only been a few ~years since mining has come to be took: ed upon a8 a permanent occnpation, or since claims were opened requiring years of work, and yielding a regular and substantial profit for the labor expended and the capital invested, We think it is safe to say that in the last _four years more new and _ rich gravel mines have been opened and worked ata profit in this county than were worked regularly before that period,and now extensive ranges are being opened in different localities. These companies have only tapped the great subterra‘nean channels which run in different directions throughout the county, here and there. Entire ridges, where . for miles no openings upon them have been made,"ifre apparently as rich so. far as indications. go as any yet opened; have remained entirely unprospected.Of late years, especially during the last two seasons, much attention bas been given to the opening of these rich gravel ranges,-_Foreign capitalists have been seekiny for mines of this character, and the future prospects are most flattering. In quartz mining the prospect is no less encouraging, It requires capital to develop these quartz mines,and they extend from the foot hills to the Sums mit, Some rich mines have been opened at Grass Valley and Nevada, and! also at Eureka and Meadow Lake.— Outside of these places little systematic mining for quartz has been done) of Placer county since 1850, and who though ledges are numerous and good prospects have been obtained. The prospectors are usually without capitaland therefore work at a disadvans tage, and are compelled frequently to abandon leads which are afterwards . opened and proved to be rich. This hasbeen the history of numbers of quartz leads in Nevada county. There are still large districts, rich in quartz, unprospected, and_where good paying mines will some day be opened. Nevada county possesses excellent advantages in the way of water power for running machinery, while the -system of canals built for mining give them opportunities for irrigation if des sired. Besides this the vast extent ot of country containing fine timber is also a matter of great jmpertance. The mills in the vicinity of Truckee alone are supplying lumber as: far east as Salt Lake and as far south as San Jose. The timber ranges in this locality are nearer the markets than any one on the coast and we only need communication in order to bring this branch of industry into great importance. The great demand now is local en~ ergy in the advancement of the interests of the county, and a hearty co-operation of the people of the county in all enterprises tending to develop the county. Tue hen fever is unmistakably beginning to rage again in the country quite severely, At an auction sale of faney poultry, at New York, a trio of light: mas brought $25; another trio sol giant id eggs from choice fowls brought from. $2 to $4 per dozen, And these prices are called “low.” . }Auburn on the 9th instant. Elder Grant To-night. * }-Elder Miles Grant,-the great advocate of the Second / Adventists, will ads dress thie people of this dity at Library Hall, this The (Alta speaking of his last. discourse in San. Francisco, says: “At Minnasstreet _Chiurch, last evening, after the delivery . of a mest impressive discourse b} Yhe Elder, on the fature home of :the re« deemed, over two hundred persons publicly manifested their gratitdde to God for blessings from Heaven which they were conscious they had received through the revival labors of this worthy.” As we understand from comments of the papers, the Elder preaches the annihilation of the wicked, the literal resurrection of the righteous, and the coming of Christ in the body to establish his kingdom in this world. Grass Valley items. The following items are from the Grass Valley Union of yesterday : WiLL Grapes Keep?—This question has been often asked, and bas been answered both affirmatively and negatively by those who have experimented in that.way. Yesterday Mr. Charles Barker, of this place exhibited a sample of grapes which he had kept through the Winter in all their freshness of taste and plumpness of size bya very simple, process Mr.° Barker packed up a barrel of Catawba grapes in sawdust last Fall, and yesterday the barrel of grapes was opened, and the fruit_wae-splendid,. WATER Prpzs.—The Committee of the Town Trustees, consisting of Messrs. Smith, Barker and Bettis, are engaged in the purchase of iron pipe to carry water which is to extended through_the streets -of-Grass Valley. About $3,000 worth of pipe has already been purchased, and: the Committee named have instructions to get more. The signs of the times are that Grass Valley will be one of the best watered towns in the State within a few months. PA THe Cockrit.£{The: Spring fights between game cocks commenced yesterday. The pit was opened at the corner of Main and Auburn streets. The attendance was good and the interest in chicken disputes was great. Boston Ravine chickens did not win any fights; Grass Valley roosters taking the victory every time. Consid. erable money changed hands on the result. A clubis to be forimed here having for its. object the improvement of the plack of chickens. Deata oF A Good CrTizEN.—Sam~ uel G. Morris, who has been a resident has for the last ten years kept the American Hotel in Auburn, died at The deceased was a most excelent man and citizen, and his death will be mourned by a large circle of friends. ——— DuRING the last session of Congress a law was passed which causes an important change in the mode of making public the patents which are issued for inventions. Hitherto a brief account ofall patents had been given in connection with the annual Patent-office report. Instead of this, the Commissioner of Patents is now authorized to have printed a certain number of copies of the specifications and drawings of each patent “hereafter issued. One copy is to be placed.in the Capitol of each State and Territory for free inspection, one for the same purpose in the clerk’s office of each District-Court ot the United States, and. one in the. Library of Cengress. These copies must not be taken from the depositories named for any other purpose than to be used as evidence in the courts. The Commissioner is also directed to have printed for salesuch additional capie of specifications and drawing as may He is, moreover, authorized to furnish a complete set of themito any public library which will pay for binding them into volumes to correspond. with those in the Patent-office, and for their transportation, it beiag understood that they will. be made conveniently Naccessible to the public. By thie arrangement all persons throughout the cduntry who are desirous o learning the details of inventions which ‘have been made can do so with great fecility. j at the coming election. be warranted by the’ actual demands Svucn Democrats.—The Leporter, after ascertaining that~a Democrat who applied for a job of work did not take that paper, exclaims “Hell is full of such Democrats.” The Reporter might have added “and the world too.” icken Thieves Caught. Yesterday Ah King and Ah Wah, were sent up from Grass Valley, the former for fifteen and latter for twelve days. They—were arrested, tried and convicted before Judge Paynter upon the charge of robbing hen roosts in Grass Valley. Improved. Mr. Sayers of the Aurora Rink, at Temperance Hall, has had a new floor laid and put the hall in splendid condition for skating. st. ’ For two nights past the weather has been quite cold and light frosts have occurred, but so far as we have learned no damage has yet been done the fruit crop. Por Marshal. ~ ¥ By a notice in another column it will be seen that Frank G. Guild is a candidate for the office of City Marshal, —_— A Nove. ProposiTion.—An Eastern Life Insurance Company has commenced proceedings, says the CAronicle, against a wealthy real estate owner in Pennsylvania, named Ward, to recover the sum of $10,000. The cause ‘we haye—stated, . action is that one Shroder effected a. _ life insurance in the company amounting to. $10,000; that without. prevocation or justification Ward killed Shroder, and the company was obliged to pay the legal representative of the deceased the amount of the policy. If Ward had not caused the death of Shroder, the company would not have been obliged to pay the policy, and it is claimed that Ward is liable for this, one of the resulting ¢onsequences of his act. Should such a-principle of liability be established as law there will be no end to litigation — especially where persons, having their lives insured, are killed in railroad accidents, or by the fault, negligence or carelessness of any individual or individuals, ANOTHER RaILRoaD Suit. — The Alia says: A suit was commenced April 8th in the Fourth District Court by Albert Dunlap, to recover $50,000 damages from the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, for injuries received on the 18th day of last December. The plaintiff, who is a carpenter, alleges that he purchased a ticket from the defendant on that day, to convey. him from San Francisco to Laurel station. He states that the train arrived at that place after dark, and stopped on an embankment four feet high, and he was told io jump off. He did so and fell to the ground, breaking his right shoulder -blade, ising -and-wounding his_right leg and arm, and otherwise sustaining internal injuries. He states that he will be injured for life by the ettects of the injuries. SmouLpD. Have BEEN PUNISHED.—_ The Central Californian tells a strange April fool story. Two young men in Hollister pretended to quarrel, they were separated by friends, but after— ward met in the street, and drawing pistols, began firing at each other ; one of them fell, and on opening his vest his shirt appeared bloody. A great
crowd assembled around, among them the distracted mother and other relations.of the murdered man; the pretended murderer escaped, and many went in pursuit of him. In the mean time adoctor came, and ‘after struggling through the crowd began to examine the dead man, but could find ne.wound, no bullet hole. At last the young Scape-grace jumped up, declared he was udhurt; and it soon became known that the-ruse was a sell on all fools’ day. an WasHINGToN is ‘likely to have before long a mammoth” hotel.
