US, fred two shots, the FIRST Of which came

Wells, Fargo s Co., in this city, there
were shipped the past week So bars
weighing $50 pounds, and valued at
S96,327 81; from their Gold Hill office,
as far as we have account. it was IS bars,
valued OF SS4,472 l2.-EHterprise Of yes

Where did you Sc, your figures for
Gold Hill? The true statement of the
bullion shipment from the Gold Hill Of
zee, last week, is IS bars, weighing 4.lSl
pounds, and valued al Sl3l.7ll IS. Now,
as the bullion from Reese River is shipped
from the Virginia city office. as well as
the bullion products Of at least W OF
our Gold Hill mines, it will be seen that
las, week Gold Hill shipped S35,iSi OIL
more bullion than Virginia and Reese
River combined! It was rather a poor
week, TOO, for bullion in Gold Hill.
AWKWARD PosIrIoN.-As we were re-
turning from our labors az the News
office, Saturday afternoon, we saw a was-
on back of Odd Fellows Hall, directly
across the road. with its tore wheels near
" planted to the hubs. On making in
ouiries, we found the wagon-one OF Car
pen,er's-in coming from the Yellow
JACKIE, scales. made its regular turn back
of Vesey's Hotel, TO get to Main street,
but on applying the break a. the sharp
pitch there, it would not work. The con-
sequence was, the wagon took a slide to-
ward the back Of Ryan's store, and had It
no, been for some soft ground which
brought il up. il might have gone clear
through the store and fetched up at Silver
CITY, for ought we know. The confusion
of the animals. as they were precipitated
down the stairs back of Ryan's. was indie
scribable. Glad nothing very serious &C.
