Meeting Of Town Tru.,ee..

The Honorable Board Of Town Trustees
of Gold Hill had a regular weekly meeting
last evening, at Judge Halls Courtroom.
Present, President Aylsworth, and Messrs.
Gushing and Gray, aquorum of the Board.
(Trustee Goliath, committee on water
courses and streets, was absent, superin-
tending the improvement Of the awful
condition of the highway at the intersec-
ton of Main and Blanchard streets, the
celebrated team "Mazeppa" being engag-
ed in hauling stones on the premises.)
The Town Treasurer's report was received
and read. The financial custodian of the
town reports that he has numerous coin
on hand. distributed into two separate
funds, as follows: in the Redemption,
S3.343 81; in the Contingent, 1892 Is.
A bill for stationery for the own officers,
in favor Of Chubbuck s. Phelan, for the
sum Of 81 IS, was audited, and a warrant
ordered drawn to liquidate the anne The
bill Of Gold Hill News, for Sl5, for print
ing blanks for the town, was referred to
the finance committee to report thereon at
the next meeting. A special report was
received from President Aylsworth, who
had been delegated by the street commit
tee on water-courses and piles, concerning
the hight of certain square posts, which
had been inserted, as a private enter
prise, into Main street, as a street cross
ing, opposite and between the premises
Of the San Francisco Restaurant and
the meat market of Fox & Co. on the east,
and Immediately opposite the large and
attractive three-story palace, known az
the celebrated laundry Of Hung Lee, on
the west. The report of the President was
very elaborate and interesting, to say moth
ing of its great value as an official paper.
Many Of its points are invaluable to per-
sors DESTROYS Of going into the lucrative
business of pile driving, whether in this
State or Idaho, and we are really almost
tempted to give the report entire-but, to
use an old newspaper quotation, "want
of room forbids its publication at the pres
ent time" besides which, Mr.. Samuel
Hyatt, the very efficient and truly ener-
getic Clerk of the Town of Gold Hill,
claims its authorship and expresses him.
self determined to apply TO the proper
authorities at Washington for a copy
wright and a patent. ITO sun up" as
Fatty johnson would say. the report of
President Aylsworth concludes in very
emphatic language to the effect that the
bulkhead constructed across Main street,
constructed with piles, as aforesaid, is not
high enough to entirely stop teaming, and
that Marshal Johnson be instructed to
raise them a foot or two. so that the bust
ness of repairing broken wheels and axles
OF wagons may increase in the town. All
of which was duly received and approved
by the Board and the Clerk. At a late
hour of the night the Town Trustees adj
but they will meet again.

Outside DIsTRIcrs.-Among the many
mining districts lying outside Of the
Comstock range, and which are awaiting
the aid of capital to develop their lodges,
are several covering the mineral belt rum
ming through the section Of country be-
tween this point and Aurora, known as
the Walker River region, which promise,
at no very distant day, to give ample re-
ward for the investment Of capital and
labor. Eagle District, Of which we made
mention last week, is included in this
region as is also Genessee District, imme-
diately adjoining. No district in the State
possesses greater natural advantages than
does the last named. It is within con
venient distance of our present source Of
supplies, in California, is very easy OF
access, and has an abundance Of wood and
water for mining purposes. Most of the
lodges are large and well defined. and
from both assays and working tests, have
given unmistakable proof Of immense
value. Assays Of from $500 to $500 per
ton have been obtained from some of the
largest lodges. Considerable work has
been done on many Of the claims in this
district, but the persons owning them
being limited in means, have not been
able 10 complete the work of development,
and have not yet enlisted from other
sources the capital so much needed. We
have every reason TO believe that within a
few years many Of these outside districts
will be made to yield their millions in
bullion.
DIFFIcuLrY.-As we go to press we
hear Of a difficulty going on down at the
Phoenix Mills, below Silver City. Pres
colt s Co. seem DESTROYS of getting pos
session of certain machinery which it
seems they put into the mills several years
ago, and for which they failed to receive
value in a suit before Judge Burbank yes
terday. Things are likely to be lively at
the Phoenix Mills.
HAAS & Co.-This splendid clothing
store, in Gold Hill, is doing a lively bust
ness just now. Everybody is getting new
clothes for Thanksgiving Day. This ac-
counts for so many well dressed men on
the streets nowadays
4 SMAsH-uP.-A horse attached to a
buggy, driven by a Mr.. Kendall, became
frightened at a crowd of Indians, on B
street, Virginia, this morning, and made a
break down the steep embankment, oppo.
site Music Hall, smashing the buggy all
to smithereens. The horse and man es-
capped uninjursd. ...

VERY SHARP P~RAcTIcE.- AS an in
stance of very sharp practice, it is related
that a merchant going to America and
back, went to an insurance Office and
wished to insure separately 1000 cigars,
valued at 81, 900. against loss by fire or
water. The insurance was agreed to.
After the lapse of six months he made his
appearance at the insurance office and de-
manded his money, as the cigars had been
all burned. But not on board the YES
sci, sir" Said the Secretary, Z" for she is in
dock now" YES, on board the vessel.
l smoked them, and therefore burned
them all myself; and the insurance says
against fire." The Secretary seemed taken
aback, and had nothing to say. so the
merchant said he would call the next day
for his money. The next day he called,
but was met by the solicitor Of the COM
pany, who told him if he did not relin-
ouish his claim he would be prosecuted as
one who had knowingly and willfully set
fire to goods insured by the company.
The bitter was bitten.

The President n THE SOUTHERN
SrArEs.-The Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger says:
1t is no true, that the President ap-
proves of the appointment of a Congress-
ional committee to examine into the new
constitutions Of the Southern States.
1t is also untrue that he favors any
measure or proposition which looks to de-
lay the immediate organization of the two
houses, and any assertions put forth to
that effect are both mischievous and un-
warranted. The State constitutions thus
far formed, (the Palmetto" perhaps, en-
cepted,) and the members Of Congress
elected, have been in perfect harmony with
the Presidents proclamation looking to
the full and complete restoration of the
States and not only this, but the Execu-
tive has approved their action.
He therefore favors the immediate adj
mission of all members who shall exhibit
the proper credentials. and Gov. Perry but
reiterates the Presidents wish when he
expresses the belief that such will be ad-
mitted.

LArE.-The Colfax stages did not ar
rive until three o'clock yesterday after
noon. The delay was caused by the non-
arrival of the morning trains from Sacra-
mento, they having run off the track be-
tween Auburn and Colfax. The passen-
gers, we are informed, had to be put upon
the baggage cars, and these pushed BY
hand-power into Colfax.-Nerada (Ca!.)

WHY WILL THEy:-Why is it that our
people will persist in naming towns after
the same name OF towns in California and
Nevada: This makes confusion in u
mail and express matter, and the sooner
we rectify the evil the better. There is no
cause for our having the same names-the
dictionary is large enough to make a few
more changes.-Idaho Statesman.

IL Knoxville, Tennessee, a man sued
two of his n~eighbors, who had been IN the
Confederate service, for false imprison-
ment. They alleged in justification that
the acts were committed by authority OF
the Confederate government. The Court
ruled that the Confederate government
was not a government de facto, and that
the defendants were liable for damages.

"ARRAH" AeAIN.-The Irish People, in
speaking of Webb's Burlesque "Arrah,"
says:
"The author of this has labored under
the disadvantage Of attempting to 6urlesq"e
what was in itself a caricature, and hence
we in some measure attribute the lamen'
table failure which has followed his effort
in so difficult an undertaking. No rue
Irishman can find in Mr.. Bourcicault's
drama anything else than an overdrawn
and exaggerated Misrepresentation Of Irish
manners, Irish customs, or Irish traits !;
and yet Qike its prototype, the american
Cousin" which every one admits to be a
c~aricature) 1t has been endured and laugh
ed at"
