Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1864-05-30
A GRAND PRocEssros.-GOld Hill was

quite lively on Saturday evening. At about
7 o'clock brass band paraded Main street,
serenaded Hon. A. B. Paul, the News Office,
etc. People focked in from every direction,
and at haltpast seven o'clock procession
was formed in front of the Eclipse stables, to
take up the line of march for Virginia, to
attend the meeting which had been called to
| force upon our community the deprecated
greenback currency as substitute for the
gold and silver currency Of Washoe. The
procession had several marshals, and started
off to inspiriting music. In the procession
were number of illuminated Transparent
cies, bearing the following inscriptions. Each
one speaks volumes: "Gold Hill-We want
gold and silver only for currency" "Ameri-
backs ;" "Quartz Millers-We have no way
are satisfied to take our pay from the ore we
produces" "Teamsters-Not team stirs for
other than gold and silver;" Merchants
We pay coin and receive id" Mechanics
Greenbacks and reduced wages we oppose"
The procession moved along finely, and as
darkness had come on by the time it
reached the head Of c street, in Virginia,
the Band playing "The Union Right or
Wrong" the cheering music, the transpar-
encies, and the jolly procession, all combined,
c street presented quite gay and festive
appearance. The friends Of the green6ack
movement had it all their own way, until, in
the language Of the copperheads, " the CO.
horts from Gold Hill made their appearance"
On the appearance of the brawney-armed
miners from Gold Hill, the meeting, which
was being held on B street, adjourned to the
front of the International Hotel on c street
where proceedings were resumed. S. A.
Chaplin, ESQ.,, was President. The speakers
were, Mr.. Thomas Fitch, Mr.. c. E. Delong,
Mr.. Henry Edgerton, Mr.. Clagett and Mr..
A. B. Paul. The two first named gentlemen
favored the introduction Of greenbacks as the
currency for trade and commerce. Mr.. Ed
gerton made very able speech, Of ITS KIND,
but as a good many persons could not exact
" "see the point" he made, it was thought
BY some that it was hard to tell which side
he was on-whether in favor or opposed to
greenbacks. Mr.. Paul and Mr.. Clagett both
made speeches in favor of a metallic currency,
and expressed their opposition to change IN
favor OF paper currency. The meeting was
perhaps the largest ever held IN Virginia, and
the predominant sentiment Of it was evident
" against the change of the currency now in
use in this Territory. The meeting was
kept up till about IL o'clock, there being al
ternately music, speaking, kissing, cheering,
and grooming. The following resolution was
passed as the sentiment Of the meeting. Re
solred: THAT we, the merchants, miners,
and business men and citizens generally of
Storey county, do hereby, in mass meeting
assembled, declare our full adherence to the
Federal Government, and our readiness to
aid it as far as ip our power; but as gold and
silver has been for years our currency, We
hereby declare that We will adhere to the
same and denounce any man as acting dis
honorably who pays any debt with green
backs, unless BY agreement"
MAN HuRr.-As an old man BY the name
of John Dance, with his wife and the little
child of Mr.. John Moch were coming home
from the picnic yesterday, held by the Ger
mania Singing Society, north Of Virginia,
the old man was knocked down and very
badly injured by q man on horseback. 1t
| appears that a party of three men were COM
ing down the ravine on horseback at fast
| gait, and when near the Philadelphia Brew
cry, encountered Dance and party, into
! which they recklessly charged. The old man
was knocked down and left senSeless upon
the ground, from kick received IN the face
| from the horse as it passed over him, and the
| child narrowly escaped. The old man was
| severely injured about the head, and lay in
sensible for some minutes. He was removed
to the city in job cart, and now lies at MIR.
Moch's lodging house. The guilty parties
should be held to answer for the cruel out
rage.
MIANToNoMAH Co.-This Company is now
sinking down very rapidly. 1t passed down
through the hard rock some time ago, and
has since been making good time. We are
informed that the shaft is now about loo
feet deep, and that there is no more water
now than usual. The machinery works well,
and is lust as good to work the shaft as one
| which had cost $4,000. The Company has
great hopes, and believe that they will yet
strike it rich.
UNCLE SAA.-It is reported that the Uncle
Sam will commence operations again in a
day or two. That mine has been lying idle
for some time, with every thing in the best
order, and ready to run /; the old hands are
nearly all waiting to commence again when
the work is resumed, and it is hardly posi-
BILE that the Company will allow its rich claim
to lie idle longer than it is absolutely neces-
sary that it should do.
INJuRED.-A boy was considerably injured
Yesterday, at the picnic, of the Germania
Singing Society, on the head Of Seren-mile
Canon, BY fall from a swing. The boy was
for some time insensible but at length recoy-
cred from the shock of his fall and was able
to walk about, though he had rather sub
dued look-the "gay and festive " was pretty
much knocked out Of him.
AcKNowLEDGMENT-W are much in
debted to Bernhard Franz, of AZ South c
street, Virginia, for copy of the laws Of the
last session of the Legislature. Mr.. Franz
| has the volume for sale.
