Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1865-08-12
THE EVENING NEWS.
FpoW MEADOW LAxE.-Wc learn from

represented. Mr.. Moss has been in the dis
trict ever since the excitement first sprung
up. He has been working OIL the California
and knickerbocker lodges for the Lincoln
company, who have extensions OF both the
original California and Knickerbocker COM
panieS' locations. Mr.. Moss is IN old pros
pector, and knows whereof he speaks, and
he pronounces the country rich. The lodges
are not so fabulously rich as they have some
times been miS-represented to be, but he
knows they are rich enough to pay well, so
far as prospected, and can see no reason why
they should not at greater depths be found
so. The water power in the neighborhood is
amply sufficient TO drive any number OF mills
which may be required, and there is timber
enough at hand, TO use for mining, milling
and building purposes, for years TO come.
Abou. the time he left Summit City-which
was the first Of the present week-thc news
mad come into town that rich surface dig
yings had been discovered 4 short distance
from there, down the Yuba river. Mr.. Moss
had seen considerable dust which was said
10 have come from the new diggings, but as
the excitement was Just breaking out at the
time he came away, he had no opportunity
TO learn anything very definite concerning
them.
BULLION Enthusiastically, Wells,
Fargo & Co. shipped, from their Gold Hin
office, sixteen bars Of bullion, worth, per
assay, $4,000, and weighing 937 pounds.
For the last few weeks our shipment of bull
lion has daily exceeded that OF our neighbors
in Virginia, and we think we may feel justly
proud Of mines that are now producing seven
cighths Of the bullion shipped from Nevada.
At present most of the claims in Gold Hill
are sinking on their lodges, for the purpose
Of developing their mines at the lower levels,
and consequently but a small quantity Of ore
is being hoisted but in three months, when
u full force Of miners shall daily mine the
ores Of silver and gold from every level, then
we expect TO daily record the shipment OF
thousands Of dollars above the amount now
sent TO enrich the San Francisco capitalists.
4 MONEY OFFIcE.-We learn from Capt.
C.. C. Warner, Postmaster elect Of Virginia
City, that he has received notification from
the Post Office Department that his office has
been designated rs 4 money-ordcr office OF
the second class, and the amount that may
he forwarded, therefore, will be 4 maximum
Of $500. In accordance with the above mott
~iication, Capt. Warner has forwarded addi-
tional bonds, and rs soon as the same are
accepted and he takes charge of the office,
the same will be conducted as 4 money-order
office. This will prove OF great convenience
10 the public, rs the tariff will be very light
compared with the present price OF exchange
in the several portions Of the States. The
system will m in about one month
from this time.
OPERA HOusE.-Last evening, upon the
occasion OF Talbot's benefit, the house was
we'll filed. Dick Paddock, Second Assistant
Of the Virginia Fire Department, received
the first prize-a silver fruit baskct-he hav-
ing calamity escorted four ladies to the
theatre. The second prize-a silver goblet
was won BY Stephenson, on the original con-
undrum Of "why was the restoration OF
peace in the United States like our late
lamented President Because 1t was the
strongest hnk-on (Lincoln) the Union ever
knew. Tonight, u huge bill is offered, and
al the beautiful females will appear in 4
variety Of songs and dances. The Opera
House is the spot for fun.
TINE PARTY.-The Calico Party last even
ing, though i, was considerably crowded, was
really a pleasant affair. and i, certainly was
a most substantial benefit to Mrs. Collins
and the other persons for whose relief it was
gotten up. The party was quite largely at.
tended BY Virginians, among whom we had
the pleasure Of meeting Walter Bray and
lady and Miss Flora Bray. Every one APP
peared 10 enjoy themselves hugely. Ice
cream was furnished NJ the Hall, and at
about midnight n delicious lunch was served
up ut the Vesey House, Dancing was kept
up till o late hour this morning, when the
guests departed, we'll pleased with the enter
tainment.
SATIsFAcToRY.-Thc new hosting gear Of
the Alpha mine works most admirably, and
fully ~justifes the expectation OF the archi-
,ects, who claimed so much for the new style
Of ruts. The huge engine moves with almost
noiselesS motion, and has already demon
Strated its capabilIty to do the required work.
The shaft Of the Alpha will soon be down to
the required level, and as soon as the new
openings are made we expect TO herald the
hosting Of ore enough TO supply a number of
mills.
THASXs!-We are immensely indebted to
our old friend, David Scott, Esq, OF Washoe
City, for recent fnvors in the shape Of MSS,
which through some mistake came to our
table TO late for use. Nevertheless, Uncle
Dave has our thanks, and we will on the next
occasion try and be more prompt in our
foraeipg. Another Psalm, David Tod
Smith and Sheriff Reed will lead the Choir,
when we've been there ten thousand years
