Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1863-10-30

STILL HARPING OS.-Mr. Mark Twain is
not content to let the memory of his late
silly imposition upon the public pass from
the minds of men. He received just, calm,
and not abusive rebuke from the Bulletin
and he replies with epithet of " little parson,
oyster-brained idiot" etc. We took ex-
captions to being made the dupe Of his nom
sense, and medium for its dissemination
and because we called his baSeless, and worse
than idle fabrication BY 4 shorter and more
emphatic monosyllable, and spelt the word in
small caps, thus LIE" the thin-Skinned
Young man is hurt in a tender spot and re-
forts albeit, he clothes his remarks in a semi
facetious phrase, and feigns to be careless,
and even proud of his effort; it is very pa
tent that is all assumed. As far as his slur-
ring inuendo is concerned, that we find fault
with his folly for the purpose of 6enehttinS
ourselves at the expense Of the Enterprise, it
is as absurd and 81 piece with the balance
of his talk on the subject. The Enterprise
does not interfere with US in the least. Were
il to cease its publication to-day it would not
benefit us to the value of a dollar, nor would
its ten-fold increase of circulation (which,
through the "wit " of Mark Twain, it will
soon Obtain) injure us to the amount of a
single nickel. Leaving the broad and side
splitting humor of Mark Twain out of the
question, the Enterprise is most valuable
paper, and has our best wishes. As to the
patronizing portion Of his remarks, we simply
thank him for nothing" We neither ex-
pcct to prosper through any patronage of the
Enterprise, nor apprehend financial ruin and
starvation through the butfoonery OF its local
columns.
PRIDE OF NEVADA. Several very fine
specimens of ore from the Pride of Nevada
mine were shown US this morning, upon
which fine gold was plainly visible. This
claim is an EXTENSION of the Pride of the
West, in Devils Gate district, and bids fair
70 be as good if not better than the original.
4 shaft 80 feet deep has been sunk from the
bottom of which q drift has been run which
pcnetrates the ledge. An incline has also
been sunk on the lode to the depth of 40
feet. The ledge is we'll defined and of an
average thickness Of twelve feet. The COM
pany are now engaged pushing tunnel
which will tap the lode at the depth of one
hundred feet. 1t is already in about two
hundred feet, and will strike the lode IN about
twenty feet more.
REAL LIFE AT REEsE.-Last evening we
were permitted to peruse portion of letter
written BY gentleman at Reese River to
friend in this city, and We cannot refrain
from making one extract: al am stopping at
the International" says the writer, (which is
crowded to Overlooking. They pile us up in
windows, on the dining-room and bar-room
foors-in fact, very many sleep in the hay
wards, and, ,lled up in their blankets along
side of the biggest sage brush they can " To-
cute" Last night, one poor fellow who was
buried this afternoon, was groanlng plteously
when some wretch in human form growled
uut. "Why in h-lldo he die-what in the
ID does nc want t. live to keep US awake
for :" Reader, draw your own differences.
ANOTHER SrRIxE.-The Branch Mint Co.
succeeded yesterday in striking their ledge.
Their claim is situated in Crown Point RAJ
vine, immediately west of and parallel with
the Yellow Jacket claim, about 1000 feet
south of Gold Hill. They commenced work
about two years ago, sinking an incline for
distance of 90 feet, and thence drifting to-
wards the ledge, which they struck veSter-
der, as stated, and advanced about seven feet
into il. The rock looks first class, and the
company are in jnbilant spirits. They have
no doubt that the ledge is the old Gold Hill
back ledge.
DvsT.-The fall winds have set in in earn
est, and are roaring and daShing through our
street, whirling in dense clouds the dust that
lies knce-deep therein. 1t forces itselfthrough
every crack and Granny Of our buildings. 1t
nils our threats and n1strils, causing us to
cough and sneezc, and tho ceases Of our
compoSitors, causing them to curse and to
swear in 7 manner horrible to hear, and lies
in gritty, diSagreeablc stratum upon the
paper upon which we are writing this item.
We do not swear, however; We meekly brush
the dust away, and go on writing as II moth
ing had happened.

" FENCED IS.-We observe that nearly all
the highest peaks about Virginia have fences
running over and around them in various
directions-Mount Davidson not excepted.
What in the world people expect to do with
the land thus enclosed, beats US.
HAY YARps.-Some idea of the amount
of teaming done in this Territory may be OBJ
tanned by an inspection of the various hay
wards about the city. We have seen over
one hundred huge prairie schooners anchor-
ed for the night in one of them.
BoREAsrIcAL.-It took us just six hours
to get UP that word, and we think the occa-
sion worthy of it. We care safe in saying that
VIRGINIA hasn't experienced such zephyr as
that of this morning for six months past al
least.
Turned AcTREss.-Miss Mary Davis for
r,srlv chambermaid at the Collins House,
r street. Virginia, has turned actress under
the mon de plane of Mona Dell. She made
her frst appearance at the Melodeon night

Yesterday from their Virginia Office $2l ,7l9
IN bullion. The bars manufactured at Gold
Hin are mostly taken to Virginia for assay,
the offices of many Gold Hill companies De-
ing located there.
