Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-02-11
THE EVENING NEWS.

good authority that Mr.. Flemming, for
merly Of Gold Hill, and one whom
nearly all old Gold Killers knew as the
"0ld Prospector," has, after prospect
ing all over the State of Nevada for the
past eight years, finally struck a big
thing in Wilson District, on the Walker
river. The ledge is very large and of
surprising richness. The quartz is
gold-bearing, and will, from present in
dications prove a fortune to the old
gentleman. We hope it may prove even
better than report says it is, for it is
certain there never was q man in the
State who has been more untiring in
his efforts or made greater exertions to
find something rich, than Mr.. Flemming
has done. The reports from this dis
trict are very encouraging, and promise
to give good returns the coming sum
mer. In fact we are hearing of good
prospects being found all over the State.
We never have been one Of those who
believed the Comstock was the only
mine in the State, although it is evil
IDENTIFY the best ledge in the State.
Some Of the mines in Humboldt are now
yielding q large amount Of bullion. All
that is necessary to do is to find a pro-
per method Of treating the ore composed
of galena and silver, which is found in
abundance in all parts Of the State.
CoSrENPrIBLE Enthusiastically
morning at 1 o'clock some miserable,
unmitigated villain went to the cabin Of
Mr.. Philip Mcclure, a short distance
from the Yellow Jacket works, and
broke in the door of the house and stole
therefrom everything Of value he could
find. Among which was q heavy gold
ring and some money. Mr.. Mcclure
has been SO unfortunate as TO have lost
one of his legs, and has the deficiency
supplied with u wooden one. Although
a cripple he earns a living by working
in one Of our mines. We have no doubt
but the %scoundrel who stopped so low as
to rob a cripple, will see this item, and
when he does We hope, if he has one
grain Of principle left, he will refund
the articles taken by leaving them at
his house. And if he does not do it
may the dirty, cowardly act be rewarded
by the lasting curse Of the Almighty,
that shall blast every prospect he may
ever have, and wither him like a plant
placed in burning sands. A thief is
mean enough, but one that would rob q
man who has been deprived of a leg, is
too mean a being to curse the earth
with, and perdition is the only place
suitable for him to dwell in, and the
sooner he gets home the better. We
only express the sentiments of every
good citizen in what we have said.
FEARFUL EScoUSrER.-Saturday night
two miners at a saloon on c street got
into a dipute, and sailed into one an
other in a most vicious manner. Both
men were on their return from work
and had stopped to have a drink. Each
party had q miners candlestick, which
has a long, sharp, steel stem, used to
stick into timbers or earth. These were
at once brought into requisitIon,
proved to be a very savage implement
both men were badly injured; one of
the men had a stab through the upper
lin and another which entered the lip
on the inside and extended up to near
the eve. The other one had q severe
stab in the shoulder and several others
about the face. Both parties went to
the Office of DR.. Green and had the
wounds properly dressed. We would
suggest to fighting men and buns, the
propriety Of carrying q candle-stick; If
you do not want it to fight with you can
use it in some Of our mines to a most
excellent advantage, and then it looks
much more respectable than to be carry
ing q revolver or knife.
STARTED Ur.-The Savage mining
works, which have been shut down for
q few days, started up again on Satur-
day evening, and will, we suppose, con-
tinue 10 roll out a large amount of rich
ore. We do not know how the lawsuit
has been disposed of, but it is the de-
sire of every one interested in the well
fare Of the country that the matter will
be settled so that the mine may continue
work. It is about time that a decision
was made, declaring all the mining eggs
that have not Matched in the eight years
of litigation would be pronounced bad
ones, and the nest broken up. Inc
Savage Company have gone to an i'm
mense expense in putting up machinery
and prospecting their claim, and as soon
as A body Of rich ore is found, a title by
John Doe is conjured up, dating back to
1859, to cover the ground, and the mine
must stop work to see II Mr.. Does title
is good; and thus much time and money
are lost.
BULLION MINE. This morning we
called at the Bullion mine, and learned
from Mr.. Walker, the Superintendent,
that for some time past he has been en-
osued in running a drift for the purpose
Of getting good air in a part Of the mine
where q body of quartz has been struck
that has excellent indications Of good
nav. but owing to bad air nothing has
been done to develop it. The connec-
t;on will soon be made, when the work
of prospecting tho new discovery Will
be prosecuted.
TRLvrL.-Couldn't be better roads
from Silver to Carson, so far as "oot-
tom" is concerned. Principal fault now
found is, they're rather too dusty for
comfort or clean clothes. The Turnpike
Co. have forty men at work on their
line. and a week Of hold-fast, decent
weather, will permit them to make the
path from the Imperial mill to Silver In
most excellent order. Then our mine
Superintendents needn't look dumPy.
FOOTBALL. Very popular amuse-
mont hereabout. Thirty young men,
ranging from 40 to 60 years OF age,
were engaged most of yesterday, in
playing the game, on the Divide. These
infants seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely. A parcel of old chaps, from II
to 20 years Of age witnessed the sport
DIVINE SrRvIoEs.-Last evening we
attended divine services at the huron
of Rev. Mr.. Martin. The congregation
was very large and the discourse was a
most excellent one. We would suggest
to the young men of Virginia that TINS
is a most excellent place to spena an
