Rich Strike at Grass Valley Mine Affects Sunrise shaft
The Grass Valley Union reports a surprising strike in the Sunrise mine incline shaft on Osborn Hill with ore showing mineral and gold valued at 100 to 150 dollars per ton. If true, mining operations will expand as machinery is set and a 100 foot shaft sink is planned. The Reno Journal notes Messia Powell Scott and Barton leasing Reno reduction works to process a thousand tons of ore, installing two concentrators and amalgamation plates. Ore will be hauled from the Golden Eagle mine five miles north of Reno with crushing hoped for around the 20th.

Mulching Late Potatoes For Better Yield
The piece explains growing late potatoes with straw mulch to retain soil moisture, enable closer planting, and improve yield. It covers soil prep, furrow spacing about 18 inches, seed placement 15 to 18 inches apart, and straw covering. Harvest requires careful handling, with risk from hot dry August September weather and wet seasons reducing factory suitability.
Life of a Locomotive and Miscellany Notes
The piece discusses locomotive lifespans from twenty to thirty years with examples like the Baltimore and Ohio grasshoppers built in 1835 still used as switchers in Mount Claire last spring. It also offers parenting guidance on scolding, a short tale from Berry Benson, and a note on Wilberforce’s view of animal immortality with a nod to medicinal progress and Syrup of Figs.
