THE EVENING NEWS.


mixed" crowd-assembled at the Theatre in
Gold Hill, last evening. The object was to
get up another ticket for Town Trustees, in
opposition to the Citizens Ticket which was
brought out about a week agO-a list OF
which, with the names Of those who nominal
ted it, can be seen in another column. At
o'clock Mr.. Lee called the meeting to order,
and nominated Hon. y. \. II. Ball as PreSi-
dent; but Mr.. Ball being absent at the time,
some one else moved that John Dewitt, Esq.
act as President, which motion met the APP
probation of the meeting, and Mr.. Dewitt
took the chair. After some appropriate
remarks from the President, several par
ties were named as Secretary, but they
being either abSen. or declining to serve, Mr..
Hall was elected, and took his seat along
side Of the President. y motion was then
made that the meeting proceed to vote BY
ballot for tve candidates for Trustees of the
Town Of Gold Hill, TO be voted for on Mon
day, June 9th. At this stage Of the pro-
ceedings, there was considerable crosS-hring
in words between parties in different parts Of
the crowd. Man with 4 wool hat" Mr..
President, l want to know whether all these
IriShmen from Virginia are TO be allowed to
vote:" The President was a little confused,
whether they should vote or not-one of the
Firginians having decided that it was all
the same, be jaberS." A biue-shirted miner
then wanted to know whethert the delegation OF
200 from American Flat, THE Flat is out OF our
corporate limits should vote The PreSi-
dent still didn't " see the point" and seemed
10 think, perhaps, that the meeting ought to
decide the matter itself rs to what constitut-
ed legal voters n the meeting; so 1.-THE
point, which really should be most i'm
portant one in all primary meetings, except
in such corrupt old dens as Tammany Hall,
in New York, was entirely overlooked-and
two-thirds of the votes cast were deposited by
men who have not a dollars worth Of property
in the Town, and who, when the election
comes on will not show themselves at the
polls One man from Carson City, who
has not been in Gold Hill a week, voted
And some men whom we have seen coming
into town with their blankets on their
backs within week, voted. II this is the
style Of conducting Gold Hill mass meet
ing, and If taxpayers can endorse such
farce, may the Lord keep us from ever wit
Messing another Nominations being IN or
der, the following gentlemen were named, az
ter Mr.. Joseph LaFlower and MI. Clark
were appointed teIlers: J. {. Corey, William
Dollman, Cor Aelius keefer, II. {. Blanchard,
Martin CleED. ShtEAGhhs sAAAA L NeN'a.
Fifteen minutes were allowed for voting, and
as the tickets had all been written out and
placed into the hands of citizens from Nir-
ginia and American Flat, and other persons
who were residing in Gold Hill, the voting
commenced, and was kept up quite lively for
perhaps half an hour, many Of the voters be-
ing rather pleased that no questions were
asked bv the tellers. Whether any OF them
voted more than once, We really can't say,
but If they didn't, the chance was certainly
open 10 them. But, in the language OF the
Virginia delegate, it was all the same.
The result of the election was, however, the
nomination Of very good ticket, and 1t was
not the result, but the infamous means resort
ed TO, to accomplish it, with which we ind
fault. We are pleased TO state that we hon.
es,ly believe that not single candidate NOM
mated had anything TO do with practising the
imposition upon the honest sense Of this
people; nor do we believe they endorse the
ringing in Of outsiders TO vote at meeting
intended to transact the legitimate business
belonging TO our own taxpayers. The per-
sons who were guilty of trumping up these
outside forces are marked, and in due time
the people of this town will show their disap-
probation in a manner not TO be misunder-
stood. Such species OF stocking puohc
meeting, and its concomitant vice, that OF
stufing ballot-boXes, has, on more than one
occasion, brought men 10 the Sal!ows. lne
candidates nominated were: II. c. Blan-
chard, J. c. Corey, +. P. Ball, Martin Stern,
and Cornelius keitfer. These gentlemen are
all most excellent men, and would, we know,
make excellent public officers, but whether
they will consent TO run as candidates-wlth
the damnable disgrace which surrounds their
nomination-we doubt. We shall see.
A BLOODY Row.-Last evening, about
shutdown, we heard sound Of great commo-
ton up Crown Point Ravine. The bend Of
the road hid the cause OF the mutiny from
our gaze, but down the sides of the craggy
peaks that frown above that narrow gorge
we saw the descending forms Of men plung,
ing madly. The sight was inspirltlng, and
suggestive Of the probability OF herce COMBAT
Of man or dorg. Did we Immediately make
tall time to the scene of uproar You bet
voul We went there quick enoush-but We
didn't start soon enough. A stalwart son of
Erin, shirt in shreds, delightful cash under
his left eve, his face and clothing covered
with blood; two men struggling hercely to
get at each other; while peace-maklng IN
dividual was fourishing cooked revolver OF
fearful length in the faces Of the crowd pro-
miscuously these were the sights that met
ont gaze, and filed our bosom with unavall-
ing regrets at having missed the fight. Both
ershinl Twas just our bloody luck
ABELL & KEY CoaPANY.-This company
continues driving its main tunnel ahead, and
also working on the drift which is being run
along its first ledge. This drift, which was
commenced some time ago, is now about
forty or forty-fye feet in length. II runs IN
a southwest direction, branching of to the
left from the main tunnel. This latter work
is being driven ahead by two workmen, and
is now about $50 feet in length. 1t Is sup
posed to be close on the ledge, which crops
out on the side Of the hill above the tunnel.
The groupings are directly above that point
in the tunnel which is $50 feet from its
mouth, but as it pitches into the hill, and the
groupings are nearly 200 feet above the level
of the tunnel, the ledge Will be struck by
that work some distance further in than 1t
would be if il stood perpendicular. The dis
lance which it will have to be run beyond
line Of the groupings Of the ledge, will, OF
course, be determined by the pitch OF the
latter.
ANOTHER WHIM.-The Winegardner Co.
has had 4 number of mechanics at work at
its claim for two or three days past, framing
a whim. Work on the above claim has been
suspended for several weeks, but will be re-
sumed as soon as this new hosting work is
ready to go into operation. The shaft which
has been sunk is considerably over 100 feet
deep, and all the rock which has been taken
out Of it heretofore has been lifted by COM
mon windlass- Since the shaft became deep,
that work has been very laborious. The
shaft is large, which makes it necessary to
take out large quantity of earth or rock In
order to go down a short distance. The new
within will relieve the men from this part OF
the hard work attendant upon working the
claim, and enable operations to be carried on
more rapidly, and, we believe, with less ex-
pense to the company.
REPAIRING THE RoAD.-There has been
a large force of men at work for several days
