THE EVENING NEWS.

the Rhode Island mill, We counted six
,y-fye quartz-teams, going down and
M, The distance is not over q third Of
a mile, and the number Of animals at
tached to the wagons was 325. The
Main thoroughfare being broken up to a
considerable extent by deep holes, ruts,
and encountered by solid cakes Of frozen
snow and ice, there was a blockade or
statu quo condition for at least an hour,
when the "eutangling alliance began
to be solved by the practical applica-
ton Of the minstrelsy injunction OF
"Root, hog or die" and a general dig
cling out, scratching out, pulling out,
swearing out, and "Beck," and "Jule,'
and tom" and "Joe," ETC., put in
their best ticks, which caused a general
scatteratiou up and down the street of
the aforementioned blockade. The
world moves; and the old school-boy
enigma OF what would be the result if
an immoyable were to come in contact
with an irresistible? is entirely played
out.
LOWER GOLD HILL.-Yesterday even
ing we were in lower Gold Hill, in
search of items, and all we could see,
however, were quartz-teams and mud,of
which there was any quantity. The
road from the Gold Hill Mill down to
the Nevada House, is in a most wretched
condition. We saw wagons go down in
ch~uck-holes until the sxles would strike
the ground. One Of the boss teamsters
informed US that the road at the present
time was in u worse condition than he
bad ever seen it, in m experience Of
FIVE years. The ground which has been
frozen for some time past, has thawed
and broken through, making it almost
impossible. Those in authority, should
put two or three men at work on the
road to keep little drains open to carry
of the water as the snow melts.
PusLIc ScHooL.-Yesterday we called
at the Public Schools of Gold Hill, to
see how they were thriving since the
storm. We found none but the Gram
mar School in session; il was composed
partly of the Primary School and par
TALLY Of scholars belonging TO it. Since
the storm not more than one-fourth of
each school has been in attendance. 1t
certainly would be altogether better to
dismiss the schools during very bad
weather, as those who do attend are
not benefited any those that are out
of school must commence where they
leave off, and their classmates must 60
over the same ground a second time.
WILL BREp.-Lsst evening, at the
corner Of Union and C streets, as a gen.
tleman and lady came along, the lady,
in crossing Union street, slipped and
fell heavily on the ground. Her attend
ant stopped and waited for her TO get
up and not until she called for assist
ance did be make any attempt TO assist
her up. We would advise him to take
take up his abode with those who do
dwell in tents, and who live on Natures
natural gifts-as with them there is no
politeness; and when a woman falls
down she helps herself up-which seems
to be the principle he goes on.
HAxxER's COLLAR GALL OINTMENT,
wituey's Collie Medicine and Hammers
Essence Gsmaica Ginger, again appear
in our advertising columns this after
noon. Mr.. Hammer has sold out to
King 4 Co., but will still have charge
Of the preparation of the articles. We
have been informed by many who have
tried the medicines, that they are no
humbug, and are steadily increasing in
favor. The druggists, teamsters and
veterinarian all pronounce them articles
of real merit, and we recommend their
use to those who have never tried them.

FILLING UP.-The dumps at nearly all
the mines in Gold Hill are becoming
fall of ore again. Although there are q
great many teams constantly employed
in hauling away quartz, yet the small
loads they are compelled to take and
the slowuess with which they are forced
to travel, does not remove the ore as
fast as il comes from the mines. Many
of the mines will be forced to suspend
operations within a few days unless
there is q freeze up, which is not pro-
bable.
GosE TO CARsoS.-The S~argent-st-
Arms Of the Legislature, has been up
to Virginia after all who now are and
have been, officers Of the city, to go to
Carson to give testimony regarding the
Indebtedness of the city, before the COM
mittee appointed to examine into the af-
fairs Of Storey county. The majority OF
those summoned, protest against going,
as they know nothing about it.
PAINFUL AccIDESr.-Saturday after
noon one of the employees in the Bull
lion mine met with a very painful acci-
dent. He was at the time working in
loose, shaky ground, when, without the
slightest warning, quite a large mass OF
rock from the ceiling overhead fell JUST
in front of him, a portion of it striking
his foot across the instep, and MASKING
il up badly.
The CAUSE.-THE cause Of the stop
page Of Haight's line Of sleighs from
Gold Hill to Virginia is, that be let
Wells, Fargo have the sleigh to go out
on the Geiger Grade, and when 1t got
out the snow began to drift, and the
snow o o filed up the road so it was
impossible to get back.
Coon BEEF.-Yesterday, Mr.. Sharf,
of the Pioneer Market, Gold Hill, gave
us one of the finest, latest and most
delicious steaks we. have seen in a long
time. He picked it off the top Of a
large pile Of the same kind. Shsrf
himself is o good advertisement for his
beef; both are fat.
DRIrrxp FuLL.-The road on the Gel
ger grade, which had been opened, yes
terdsy drifted full again, making it ne
cessary to do the work over again,
which is being done as fast as q large
force of men can do it.
No S-,avs We are still without any
