Another Grass Valley Bonanza.
GRASS VALLEY, October 19th.-The biggest
mining. excitement known here in many
years was caused by the rich strike in the
crown Point quartz mine at noon to-day.
The mine was known as the William Penn
IN early days, and has a shaft nearly 300
feet deep. Work was abandoned in the
mine years ago, and was never resumed
until recently, when a Frenchman named
Gauthler, who was very poor, contrived to
build a 1O-stamp mill upon the ground
and succeeded in pumping the water out of
the shaft. Good rock has been coming out
OF the mine for the last month or two, but
to-day six-foot ledge was opened in the
southwest drift, at the depth of $50 feet,
and several large wash-tubS were filled with
the ore, which is the richest seen here for
years. Numerous pieces of the rock were
brought TO town, and the greatest excite
ment prevails among miners generally
The Crown Point is located at the east end
of town.
Daring Burglary of a Saloon.
NEWCASTLE, October 18th - Our little
town was thrown into a state of excitement
this morning on hearing of a daring piece
Of robbery that took place last night. 1t
appears that some burglar entered Lyons
saloon by reaching through broken win
dow and pulling the bolt, and raised up the
sash to get in. Lyon and his barkeeper
both sleep in rooms adjoining the saloon.
The burglar entered the sleeping-rooms of
the men, and took purse from under Ly-
ons' pillow, containing 800, and a pistol.
The latter he left on a stand by the bed.
The burglar then went to the till in the sa-
loon and took $l5 from there and left.
Nothing else about the place was disturbed.
Lyon says he feels very light about the
head to-day, which makes him think he
had been chlOroformed. Several strangers
were about the saloon yesterday and last
night and Lyon thinks he can trace the
act to the guilty one. Chief Jackson, of
Sacramento, has been notified of the loss.
and also the Sheriff of this county, and
they think the money will be regained.
