keisey'S Nurseries.

These nurseries, the most celebrated
and extensive in Alameda county, are
located in the City of Oakland and
have recently become the property of
Messrs. Geo. b. Davis and Geo. J.
Nicholson. The latter gentleman has
been Superintendent of the nurseries
for several years past. He is a thor
oughly educated and practical horti-
culturist and botanist, and lis through
his knowledge and careful atten-
ton that an enviable and wide spread
reputation has been gained for Kel-
sey's nurseries. Mr.. Davis is also a
practical gardener of great experience.
He is regarded as the best landscape
gardener on the Pacific coast. The
combination of these two men makes
firm which for a complete knowledge
of the business in hand is not often ex-
celled. The already fair fame of Kel-
sey's nurseries will grow brighter and
be more widely known. The stock of
rare flowers and shrubbery now in
hand is not eXcelled by any nurseries
in the land, and arrangements are
making for adding largely to the fine
selections already on sale. Mr.. Davis
is at present with us, and we under
stand contemplates removing to this
city with his family for the purpose of
establishing branch of their popular
nursery here. He will confine himself
to the culture of flowers and orna-
mental shrubbery. Mr.. Davis has
travelled all over the State, and has
selected Los Angeles as the most desir-
able point for his business. He will
be valuable acquisition to our city
and county.

climbed another mountain, less lofty
than the first, where we found another
claim, called
THE ROUGH AND READY.
Thi; ledge is not so well defined per-
haps as the first, but can be traced to
considerable distance, where tagain
crops out further up the mountain. 1t
is q quartz formation like the other,
and bears about the same proportion
of gold and silver. This also our au-
thority examined carefully, and pro-
nounced it good. This claim is in the
hands of the same company as the Ca
hunga claim, and was also discovered
by Mr.. Bell. The company will COM
mence work on the two claims this
week, and will push them to a speedy
development. They are all men of
we'll known enterprise, and have in
vested sufficient means to give thor
ough test of the lodges. They will
soon find whether they have fortunes
in them or not.
AT the bottom of the cation and near
the head of the stream, is another
ledge, owned by Mr.. Plummer. 1t is
called
Ell DORADO CLAIM.
The rock is of dark blush gray color,
containing pure gold without any ac-
companying base metals. Specimens
have assayed over ten dollars to the
ton. Mr.. Plummer intends to COM
mence work upon his claim very soon.
He also has two other leads, called
respectively the Solito and the Elko;
the former was the first which was dis
covered in the caf1on, and took its
name, being at the time SOlHd-alone.
There are few other claims in the
section, but we did not visit them.
RETURNING
Down the canon, we again reached our
conveyance, and were glad enough to
dispense with shanks' horses for the
remainder of the way back to Nine.
Plummers hospitable quarters. Ar
irving there, we partook Of a lunch set
out by the good lady, doing ample
justice to the substantials as well as
the cake and wine, for our stOmach's
sake. We were never more forcibly
reminded of any adage than the old
one, drilled over in the Latin gram
mar: flames Optimum condimentuna
est. Certain it is, no sauce could have
sharpened our appetites like that three
hours scramble over the mountains.
While we were waiting here, Mr..
Madigan and Mr.. Matthews came
along, having been up in Nichols
canon to view the spot where Vasquez
was captured. They told
PITIFUL STORY
Concerning the wife of Greek George,
who, it seems, has been lying on a
sick bed for some days. She is with
out care, or even the necessities of life,
and is in truly deplorable condition.
The two gentlemen, supported by the
members Of our party, agreed to take
the matter in hand at once and see
that the woman has proper attention.
We mention the case in hopes that the
authorities or private individuals will
see to it that the unfortunate woman
is properly cared for while her hus-
band is held here in Jail.
The afternoon was waning when we
again reached the city, but the time
was considered well spent, and none
Of the party will soon forget the trip
we had up in the mountains.

Extend the Spring Street Railroad.

The Erening Express suggests that
the Spring Street Railroad Company
extend its road to the Plaza. This is a
good idea, and justice to the business
houses on Main street demands it.
Customers will trade with the houses
nearest the line of the road, and if
stopped at Temples Bank, the trade
will be drawn to that point. The ho-
tells should urge this matter, as the
extension of the road past them will
be great accommodation to the
quests.
