Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-01-29

The matter of C.. Haub's bond, was
on motion, referred to the same Com
mittee as Cook & Sons.
THAT RoAp.-we have, for at least
the past two years, made a practice of
entering a complaint against the horri-
BILE condition of the road leading from
Gold Hill to Silver City during the win
ter months. Many persons, within a
few weeks past, have requested us to
make some suggestions to those inter-
ested in it, regarding adopting some
means BY which the great drawback
that now has silenced the noise and
chatter of our mills may be remedied.
Within the past three days We have been
requested by several men owning mills
in Gold Canon TO stir the thing up"
and see if something can't be done.
We now say, as we have said before,
that if the mill men and mine owners,
and citizens, would unite and spend n
week in matchmaking the road from
the upper end of Gold Hill to the old
Pioneer Foundry, there would not be
the slightest necessity for any Of the
mills being compelled to shut down for
a single day during the winter. As the
roads are at the present time it is an
impossibility to haul half u load; and
in addition to this there are more wag-
ons broken and horses killed in one
year than would pay for making the
road. There are at this time teams
enough lying unemployed to make a
good road in one week. The majority
Of the people of Gold Hill are in favor
of taking the necessary steps TO do the
work, and all that is necessary is for
some one to start the ball rolling. Who
will do it? Let some one Of influence
take hold Of il at once, and have the
road built and the mills started.
WANTS TO GO HoNE.-A short time
since one Riley, who had served two
years in the ~penitentiary, was set at
liberty and came to Virginia. Not find
ing a home provided for him he began
TO long for his old quarters, and on
Sunday night he and a man by the name
Of Blair were going along the street
when they met Hugh Kelley. Riley
stepped up and threw his arm around
Kelley's neck throwing him back in a
position where nothing but the muscu-
lar power Of Kelley saved him from be-
ing gone through. Kelley made a pow
erful effort and broke away, leaving Mr..
Riley in the street. Officer Gould was
at once summoned and with Kelley fol-
lowed the two men down G street to
Taylor, up to B and up B TO near the
Savage mine, where they entered a
cabin. Officer Gould now determined
to arrest both of them. He demanded
admission, but was refused at hrst
finally the door was opened and the
parties taken to the Station House. A
hearing was had yesterday, when Blair
was acquitted, but Riley was held to
answer. Ii is of rare occurrence that
any one who has ever served a term in
the State Prison makes a good citizen,
and we think if the system adopted in
Russia was adopted in this country, it
would be q good idea if we only knew
the secret of making Russia iron. But
pen~itentiary boots are not bad.
ErrEcr OF THE WEATHER on NEVADA.
There is not, perhaps, another State
in the Union where the interests Of the
State are so much affected by the wea-
Their as the State Of Nevada. 1t is true,
there are many States that depend en-
tirely on agriculture, and are often
affected by drouth or by too great q
plentitude Of rain. In this State, when
the weather becomes bad and the roads
muddy, the whole business Of the State
must stop; teams are compelled to haul
of, mills must stop for the want Of rock,
while mines; must stop, from the fact
that they have too much rock. When
you stop the great machinery that
drives our mining interests, you stop
the whole paying business of the State.
Few persons ever think Of the wonder
full benefits that arise from good roads.
