OMEGA LETTER -- from Mark LANE --
Omega, Nevada Co., Dec. 3rd 81
Dear Editor,
This date finds me here, and will now that I am settled down, give you a
few items. This, of course, is nothing more than a mining town. Have had
our share of snow, about 12 inches, which is something strange for an old
Bitterwater pioneer to see. Will try and give you a brief description of
this place. It is situated on top of a vast range of mountains near the
summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The Omega mine is principally
owned by R.W. TULLY, and superintended by N.C. TULLY, both brothers of
E.C. TULLY of Bitterwater. The mine is considered a very rich mine,
placer mine. It is not much worked now on account of scarcity of water.
But as soon as it rains sufficiently to get a good supply of water, work
will go on, Sundays and all. The mine is run by 4 monitors, which run
about 1500 inches per day. The water is brought from the Yuba River some
12 or 15 miles from here, over a rough range of mountains down to the
mine. This mine was principally owned by Capt. KIDD, of San Francisco,
brother-in-law of E.C. TULLY. But since his death it is mostly owned by
R.W. TULLY of Stockton or rather monopolized as Bitterwater is by the
TULLYs. Work generally lasts 9 or 10 months, it all depends on the
season. Washington, about 3 miles from here, is another mine. Its quite
a flourishing town. A party was held there Thanksgiving night at Mr.
GRISSELs Hotel and quite enough music was furnished by Richard R. TULLY
and James B. TULLY, of your county, and Mr. Chas. GRISSEL of Washington
played on the organ. All seemed to be pleased with the Bitterwater style
of music so much that they have been engaged to play Christmas eve. Miss
Nelia SHAW of Anthony House is at present spending the winter with her
sister, Mrs. N.C. TULLY. Today it has been raining. Thermometer standing
at 40 degrees, the coldest yet has been 20 degrees. Riding on snow shoes
is quite a sport here. Snow-balling, deer, grouse and wood squirrel
hunting. In my next Ill try and give you my experience on snow shoes
I am yours & c.

ELECTRICITY IN HEALTH --
The curative properties of electricity are becoming so well known that it
is no wonder the State Fair exhibit of electric belts made by W.J. HORNE,
of 702 Market St., S.F., should attract so much attention. Mr. HORNE has
applied the healing principles of this great agent in a manner which
insures the utmost efficacy. His electro-magnetic belt is so constructed
as to secure steadiness of current, the chief requisite for good service.
Moreover, this current can be regulated in strength at the option of the
patient, and thereby the electric fluid is properly diffused through the
system. Temporarily and spasmodic currents of electricity have no healing
effect, and having discovered this fact, Mr. HORNE successfully set about
the task of making proper utilization of the greatest remedial agent
which nature has provided us. Mr. HORNEs exhibit took the premium, and a
medal. Mr. G.C. PORTER, druggist, will have on hand a belt in a few weeks
for inspection.
W.R. GIFT, a prominent stock raiser and farmer residing at Paicines, is
in town. Yesterday he sold half of his ranch to Charles PARKS, of Santa
Clara, receiving therefore $3,000. Mr. PARKS will at once go down and
take charge of the premises and commence the business of stock raising,
dealing principally in cattle.
>From the S.J. Herald -- R.M. SHACKELFORD, proprietor of the Hollister
Flouring Mills, was in town today. His trial for breaking the Sunday law
he says has been postponed. Mr. SHACKELFORD believes in Sunday keeping,
but he thinks there can be no reasonable objection to making bread on the
Sabbath. He takes a philosophical view of the matter, however, and is
willing to abide by the laws of the land as interpreted by the courts.
**Watsonville News -- from the Transcript of Dec. 7th --

>From the Headlight --
ONLY A SPREE -- E.A. SAWYER, a dairyman residing in the San Felipe
valley, day before yesterday sent his hired man C.L. BLAKE to this city
with a team and wagon load of cheese to be shipped to San Francisco.
BLAKE having arrived in town and got rid of his load proceeded to return
home. Mr. SAWYER becoming uneasy came to this city last evening, reaching
here at a late hour, and at once invoked the aid of the police to assist
him in securing his property, officers BROWN and STEWART being detailed
for the purpose. It was found that he was registered at the New York
Exchange, but was not occupying his room. The team was found at HOOVERs
stable, and about 1 oclock this morning BLAKE appeared and called for
it, when he was placed under arrest. It is believed today that no
complaint will be made against him as it is thought that his failure to
return was simply the result of a spree.
[BLAKE has since been arrested and was Tuesday arraigned before Judge
VEUVE of San Jose on a charge of grand larceny.]
Miss Libbie MILLER left for her home in Nevada county on last Tuesday,
where she will spend the holidays. It is reported that Miss MILLER will
