Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-05-17
THE EVENING NEWS,

day-conSiderable interest is beginning
to be manifested among our citizens as
to who shall constitute the candidates
for the Board Of Trustees, Town Mar
shall and Treasurer. There are six
candidates in the field for Marshal, all
willing to serve in that capacity; but
for Treasurer we have heard of but one
$. ". Chubbuck-the present occu-
pant Of that position. For Town Trus-
tees, it is quite evident, there will be
two tickets in the held-uotwithstand-
ing that ''honors' are the only reward
pertaining to the office. On the one
hand, there seems TO be a combination
Of the mill-men, quartz-team owners,
mining superintendent and some others,
10 get up q ticket-the modus operqndi of
which nomination is an extensively
signed circular addressed to Messrs.
Bstterman, T. G.. Taylor, Van Gorder,
Denny and Hayes, as Trustees; A. A.
Putnam for Marshal; and S. W. Club
buck for Treasurer. These are all most
excellent gentlemen, and we'll qualified
for the positions assigned them, if elect
ed. We presume no one who knows
them would dispute this assertion. We
are not advised, however, as yet, whether
they have assensed to be candidates;
but the matter will be made public
in a published correspondence next
week. On the other hand, there
seems to be another element Of
voters and taxpayers in the community
who intend making a set Of nominations,
TO be known a. the citizens ticket, the
nominations TO be made not through
the medium Of = circular, but through
. nominating committee Of citizens in
public meeting. When this is to come
of, we are not yet advised; but We eI-
pect next week. A We are not on the
''insids ring" of either Of these move
meuts, OF course we cannot state more
than is divulged above-which we have
reason to believe authentic. Therefore,
people in Gold Hill can judge Of what is
going on in this matter. Our little Town
election is likely TO prove eSciting-not-
outstanding there are hardly four nun
dred voters yet registered, and the Reg
is,ry list will close on nszt Thursday
erening, Nay 23d, at ak o'elock-!es'
than . week.

SINGULAR AccIDESr.-A singular &C
eident happened Mr.. y. C. Dewing, a
blacksmith, residing in Gold Hill, day
before yesterday. He was working at
his forge when = sharp piece OF iron,
over half an inch in length, flew from
the anvil, and striking him Immediately
below the right eye, pierced the flesh
and lodged under the ball in the socket
Of the eye. DR.. Green extracted the
iron, finding il almost behind the eye
ball. Tho accident will result in no
permanent injury to the eye.
Lrs BaoKEE.-A man whose name we
were unable TO learn, yesterday had his

a load Of hay. DR.. Zabriskie telegraphed
during the afternoon for DR.. NcAesns,
stating in his dispatch that the bone OF
the log WAS so badly splin.ered that he
feared that ampusation would be neces-
sary. Failing TO see DR.. McAeSns, on
his return last night, we are unable to
say what WAS the result Of the consults-
ton between him and DR.. Zabriskie.

upon him, TO 60 to Austin.
AMERICAN CIrY.-The voters Of Amer
lean City, at their special election the
other day, expressed themselve, in IA
vor Of the special school tax. 'Tis well.
It shows that the people out there would
rather have their children kept in school
during the Summer season than to see
them running about idliug away their
time, and perhaps forgetting what they
have already learnt at in school.
MAX WALrrs.-Ma1 Walter left this
morning for San Francisco, to be absent
about one week. His visit TO the Bay
City has a twofold object-the removing
Of bis family TO Virginia and the " cap

House. Max. rs a caterer for the amuse-
ment of our people, is determined no. to
show himself recreant to the duties Of
the situation.
SURVIVOR GESrRAL.-General Stafford,
the newly appointed United States Sur
veyor Of this State, intends making Vir-
ginia city his headquarters. He is now
arranging affairs to this end, and it will
not be a long time until his ofhce will
be in full operation.

between Genoa and Lake Tahoe. They
are ine, fat, and luscious eating, when
properly cooked. Mr.. Leeke, OF the
Gold Hill Exchange, this morning pre-
