Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1866-10-08

KESrUcK NINE.-Outsiders, looking
only to the Stock Board reports from San
Francisco. would naturally suppose that
said reports included all and several OF
the claims worked on the Comstock ledge.
Such is not the case. Several OF the
claims or mines, and among them the
most successfully worked, and probably
too, 80 far as investments are concerned.
located in Gold Hill. never figure at all At
the Stock Boards. because the shares or
interests are in a few hands, and they are
not disposed to make a "splurge." They
quietly pocket their dividends. are recon-
ciled 10 the situation, have no stock or
shares TO dispose OF. and hence their claims
are never reported. This is particularly
true in regard TO the kentuck mine, n
of the very best located on the Comstock
ledge. Sandwiched as this claim or mine
is, between the Crown Point on the west,
and the Yellow Jacket on the east, two
of u best paying mines in Gold Hill, It
would be strange, indeed, if the hentuck
mine should not be a profitable institu-
ton. They are now down TO a depth OF
352 feet, and from every drift run splendid
ore is developed. Where nothing was
expected. in running drifts for the Pur-
pose Of ventilation or otherwise. much to
the surprise Of Superintendent Wright,
and 10 Foreman Johnson. rich ore has
been struck. Their average yield daily, OF
rock brought to the surface, is l2O tons. Il
il all FIRST. class. One hundred men are now
constantly employed below ground in the
development and working OF this mine.
Besides, twenty men are employed in eS-
cava,ing for a foundation for the two en-
gines and boilers, now on their way over
from California. These are intended TO
meet the new demands made upon this
mpa in the development OF their
mine. From our intimacy with all con-
cerned about the mine, we cannot but
wish them success, and we are confident,
from personal inspection Of the mine, that
their most sanguine anticipasions Will be
realized.
SvSDAY.-In almost every other section
of 4 christianized community but ours, this
is regarded as a day Of rest, or one at least,
during which energies should be recruited,
and enterprises suspended for the time being.
But no suspension or "let up IS aiGrdeo'
generally, in either OF our mines or mills, on
SUNDAY in Gold Hill. We consider this de.
eidedly wrong, and 10 the disadvantage OF
ali parties concerned. No man can work
seven DAYS in succession, month after month,
without feeling or realizing the drag made
unon him, and hence does not really perform
the same amount Of labor, that otherwise
would occur or take place under recruited
energies. So far as the day was concerned,
in Gold Hill, none were disposed. having the
liberty 70 regard il otherwise, than one set
apart for rest, and religious observance. The
pieasant weather afforded every one so dls.
posed. an opportunity TO attend church-and
we were glad TO see that so many availed
themselves Of the privilege so TO do, and
therefore profted by the instructions admin
is,ered or given from the pulpit.
BULLY MISE,-The Trustees OF the Vel
low JACKIE, mine, Gold Hill, to-day. de-
clared their regular fifty dollar per foot
per month dividend. Good management,
and a good mine, is the cause. May TIT
Yellow Jacket continue in its bullion
producing ways.
ALARM OF FIRE.-A stove-pipe on the
Franco-American Restaurant, on c street
Virginia, fell over on the roof, setting il
on Ore, Saturday morning. at liz o'clock
The flames were extinguished without do
ing any damage or creating any genera
alarm.
