Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-04-20
THE EVENING NEWS.

Cross, the jolly landlord, has done all
he could to make US comfortable, and
in which he has succeeded to a charm.
We made the trip from Gold Hill by
Walkers line, Billings not coming along
at the time we wished to start. On our
route VIC took notes of many interesting
items, Of which we shall speak in q
future article. Arriving in Dayton, the
FIRST place we found was Mr.. j. Henley's
saloon, where we had our spiritual
strength renewed, and where we were
shown many interesting things, of which
we design speaking in this article.
About the first of last May, Mr.. Henley
started for the Atlantic States, on a
visit to his old home, taking with him
one Of the finest and best selected cabi-
nets ever collected on this coast, intend
ing to 60 to the Paris Exposition with
it, but, for some reason, he gave up the
notion, and disposed of his cabinet to
the best advantage he could; after which
he visited many of the cities Of the
Southern States, where he secured many
relics Of the war, most of which, how
CNtE, WCTt lEOIu SuhEACskous SOuhh SaAO
lima. The only n Of note from any OF
the Northern States is a chunk OF India
rubber, being a piece of the first ever
discovered, or manufactured, and has
the following certificate with it
"Ka-out-Chook," pure "Caoutchouc,
an India rubber from Rio Esmiraldes,
Upper Peru, South America-from the
first tree discovered seventy miles from
the Pacific Ocean, at the foot of Mount
Chimborasa where the French Acade-
nucleus in 1896 were sent 10 ascertain
the length of q pendulum, and who
brought from there the first specimen of
rubber to Europe" The next thing Of
note is a piece Of shell picked up by Mr..
Henley in Fort Sumter. Also several
grape shot, and q piece OF the plate
contained in the shell. Another is q
piece of a she'll from Fort Moultrie, sup
posed TO have been one of the hrSt that
exploded in the beginning OF the war.
Another is q cane, taken from a Pal
metto log in Fort Sumter. He had this
taken out and took it to New York,
where it was turned nicely and finished
off in regular Yankee style. Another
trophy is y regular Confederate flag
with the stars and bars. Also Copper
from Lake Superior. Last, though not
least, is an hens egg measuring in cir
conference So inches n way, and g
the other and, as q stand of against
this. is a hens egg measuring in cir
conference II inches each way. AL
though the cabinet is not a large one,
having been recently started, it has
many curiosities well worth seeing.
Mr.. Henly is a man of good taste and
seems TO be peculiarly adapted TO the
getting up Of = cabinet.
