queer case before him the other day.
A man from Silver City, named Short
horse, made complaint that he had been
swindled by a man named Tom Jones, of
Gold Hill, and accordingly had the cul-
prit arrested and brought before the
Court. The prisoner plead mot guilty,
and explained that he told Shorthorse to
buy into "new location" to the extent
of dollar, which he did, and got credit
for one inch-the claim consisting of only
ten inches, which had all been sold except
Shorthorse's inch-but which was kept a
profound secret from the new Spectator
for some time. ShorthorSe wanted to see
the claim, and when it was shown to HIM
in front of the Bank Exchange, he pro-
nounced il wildcat" got mad, and had
poor Jones arrested. But Jones proved
that it was good location" of It's Kind
as all the other stockholders agreed
and the Court accordingly dismissed the
case at ShorthorSe's { ost, who Immediate
" Jumped on a horse, and cleared of for
Silver. He had better come up and settle
the tariff, or ferocious wildcat will bite
him the next time he speculateS in stocks.
MARTIN, THE WIZARD. - Tomorrow
evening, Martin, the celebrated Wizard
and VenuilOquist, gives one of his anu
sing and puzzling exhibitions at Turn
Verein Hall. in Gold Hill. Martin had
laid aside his magic wand and all the
tools and implements of his diabolcal art
for long period, and in the neighboring
town of Como has been engaged in the
pursuits of mining and the concoction of
magic cocktails, but the depletion of the
population of that district has turned him
loose once more, to astonish the world
with feats of mysterious devilry. We
have seen his wonderful performances
many a time. and can vouch for his high
excellence in his art. We advise every
body to go and take look at him.
The WATER woRKs.-Messrs. Harris
s Phiel, the contractors to lay the large
iron pipes of the Gold Hill water works,
this morning set large gang of men to
work digging the trenches for the pipe.
The pipe is to be laid two and half feet
below the surface, and the work finished
BY the first of October. Now, BY ST.
Paul, the work goes bravely on :" Let
Liberty Hose Company No. now send
for their carriage, for there viii be plenty
Of water as soon as they can nix up to run
their machine. With the present pros
poets of an ample protection against fire.
we feel confident that our people already
feel easier in their sleep-and fire in
surance" companies may 60 to-grass.
A FoRTUNE.-Any one who has five
dollars which he wishes to risk on getting
a fortune of $4,000 cannot make the
venture in anything in all Washoe
than to buy ticket in Taylor's Gift En-
terprise, in Virginia. The prize is the
large and valuable brick block on the
corner of Taylor and c streets, and who
ever is the lucky winner will be one of
the most fortunate persons that ever came
here. Although many tickets have already
been sold. it is somewhat mixed"
whether the winning ticket has yet been
bought. (See Taylor's advertisement in
another column
CIRcrs.-Billy Birch, Charley Bacchus
and Sam Wells, have Circus perform
ance in connection with their minstrel
show, at Maguire's Opera House in Vir-
ginia. Birch is the Equestrian, Charley
Bryan's celebrated race-horse being used
for the occasion Sam Wells is ring mas
ter; and Bacchus is the clown of the
ring. It throws Lees Circus all in the
shade-and only requires to be seen to be
appreciated. We saw the show not long
ago, and have had the laughing Mysteries
ever since. Go and see it
IMPORTANT TO TRAvELLERs.-We refer
our readers to the new advertisement of
the Pioneer Stage Co. By the arrange
ment which goes into effect to-day, pas
sensers leaving San Francisco on the after
noon boat, will reach Virginia in "a hours,
crossing the mountains by daylight.
Those leaving here in the afternoon will
arrive at San Francisco the next evening.
The Accommodation line leaves here in
the morning, and arrives at Sacramento
at s o'clock the next morning.
IMPROVEMENTS. - Talk about hard
times! Let any one visit Gold Hill, and
he will find that hard times don't stop
substantial improvements, such as brick
blocks for stores and other purposes; and
quartz mills costing hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars, hotels, hosting works for
mines, dwellings, etc. We doubt whether
a livelier and buster town, in proportion
to its population, can be found on the Pa
cifc Coast than Gold Hill.
CHANGE OF TARIFF From and after
to day, the fare on the Pioneer line Of
coaches will be reduced to Sl5 by both
morning and afternoon coaches, the same
connecting with the Sacramento and Pla-
cerville railroad at Latrobe, shortening
the running time very materially.
