LOCAL MATTERS.

LOCAL MATVERS.
MINING At GOLD FLAT.-The claims of
Messrs. Morrow, Goodman & Co., on Gold
Flat, are giving out gold in quantities exceed
ing the most sanguine expectations of the own
crs. The company have their own water, and
for the past three months have been sluicing off
the earth from the surface down, employing du-
ring the time two and three hands. Two weeks
ago they commenced cleaning up-takiag out
the first week 81 900, and $4,000 the second
week. Il will take about four weeks longer to
finish cleaning up, and the owners are conf
dent that the claims viii yield equally as well
during that time, as they have yielded during
the past two weeks. The company expended
large amount in opening their ground, and get
ting ready for working, but at the rate the
claims are now paying they have prospect of
being amply remunerated.
The WASHINGTON STAGgs.-The rivalry
of the opposition stage lines between Nevada
and Washington, is exciting considerable in
terest. The teams are driven by Hank Place
and Frank Alyerton, who had an exciting race
down yesterday. They left Washington together
at half-past six, Hank keeping ahead during the
ascent of the hill to Alpha, where Alverton
passed him, but Hank soon got ashead again
and kept the lead until they arrived in Nevada
at half-past nine-making the trip in three
hours. Alyerton has stronger pair of lungs
than Hank, and drives longer team, but when
it comes to making fast time nobody driving in
to Nevada can beat Hank.
The COUNTY TEsT.-The Grass Valley Ma
tonal publishes the test adopted by the Demo-
cratic County Committee, as a qualification for
voting at the primary elections, which differs in
the wording from that given in the official call,
as published in this paper, though there is no
difference in the meauing. Two resolutions
were adopted by the Committee, the substance
ofwhich, for the sake of breyity were embodied
in one sentence in the call, without any pre-
tension to giving the exact words.
For WAsHOE.-On Saturday last Geo. l.
Lammon, one of the proprietors of the Demo
crat, together with David Ashmore and r.
Smith, took their departure for Washoe, and
expect to remain at Virginia city for month
or six weeks. They have gone to look after
their interests in the Vermillion and other sill
yer leads, which are supposed to be valuable.
BALL ON THE FoURTH.-We learn that
Charley Irish, of the Fashion Restaurant, has
engaged Temperance Hall, where he purposes
giving ball on the evening of the Fourth oi
July. Charley understands getting up such
things, and we do not doubt that his arrange.
ments for the bali will be worthy of the ocea-
sion.
PLACE OF REsoRT.-Barker's Ranch, near
Buena Vista, is becoming quite a fashionable
place of resort, by the pleasure-seeking resi-
dents of Nevada and Grass Valley, quite a
number of ladies and gentlemen from both
those places being there last Sunday. Persons
fond of Strawberries and cream can crafty theil
tastes at Barker's.
Iron FoUNDRY.-Messrs. France, Taylor
& Co., have lately erected fine building on
Mill street, in Grass Valley, to be used as an
iron Foundry. They have already received
their tools and machinery from the East, and
will soon be ready to commence operations.
CHEAP TRAvRLING.-The fare from Marys-
vile, by the California Stage Cos. stages, is re.
duced to one dollar every day. The stage now
leaves at seven o'clock A. NJ, instead Of eight
as heretofore.
ANOTHER FLAG.-Mr. Herrick, patriotic
citizen, who lives on the Red Dog road, about
two miles from Nevada, has sent below and
procured a splendid American flag, which he
designs erecting over his cabin to-day.
