Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-01-23
THE EVENING NEWS.

Gold Hill and Virginia, this morning, q
large number of wagons loaded with
quartz standing in the street. Some OF
them were on solid ground and others
were in mud to the axles, while others
had the wheels on one side down IN the
mud and the others upon the soma
ground, which tilted them almost over.
The appearance of things on the DIVIDE
reminded us of a harbor at low tide.
Some of the crafts were in deep water
while others were lying IN the mua
half capsized. One teamster VINO was
determined to make horse feed, hau
bitcbed on his horses and was endeav-
or;no 10 come down the hill, having the
wagon under rough lock. Some places
the wagon would 60 endways and then
sideways, and sometimes it woul mot
90 at all. The lower part OF Gold Hill
is entirely impossible. If the presenl
state of weather continues for a month
longer all mills, mines and business OF
all kinds will have to close up. Inc
dumps are now full and work will haVe
to stop soon unless there comes a freeze
up. The bad weather is very telling on
the shipments of bullion and Will De
more so for the next week.
Soxx OF THEN.-Below We give some
of the benefits arising from the project
ed Sutro Tunnel when the great work is
done. In the FIRST place we will make
an estimate of what would be saved on
freight of the ore taken out, even at the
present time from the mines: Ophir so
tons per day; Gould & Curry $50 tons
per day;Savage $50 ons per day; Chol-
iar-Potosi rs tons; Imperial and Empire
$50 tons; Gold Hill Proper 200 tons;
Yellow Jacket IFS tons; Crown Point
1875 tons; Kentuck 100 tons; Belcher
and others in Lower Gold Hill 100 tons.
Thus making a total Of l,425' tons per
day., The present cost of delivering
this ore on the Carson river and ut 9TH
er points where it can be reduced, will
cost not less than SIS per ton. But
through the tunnel it may be delivered
for one dollar, thus saving on transpor-
tation alone Sl,7l0,0O0. The next
point is what may be saved by using
water power instead Of steam in the re-
duction of ore, would save some IS per
ton: but to make a low estimate we Will
place il at So per ton, making another
saving Of S2,l37, 500. In these two
items alone we see q saving Of S3,S+I,-
500. We see by this estimate that the
savings of one year would do the work
contemplated. In addition to this the
amount saved in hosting and pumping,
would amount to at least douoie nat
amount. The great benefits arising
from this tunnel is incalculable,
sooner our mine owners wake up 10
their interests the better. The WORK
must be done sooner or later, Ut all
events. and why not begin at onceE
The Gould & Curry has taken the initia-
tory step in the enterprise; who viii De
the next?
MAeu1RE's OPERA HousE.-lt will be
seen, by advertisement to-day, thai on
Saturday evening next the Silver Star
Dramatic Club will give another OF hos
syceIent entertainments at b Opera
House. No person attending any OF the
performances, now being given by tins
cirb. can help being perfectly SATISFIED
with In~ entertainment since mrs.
Sue Robinson Getzier has been playing
with the Club, the thing has undergone
a wonderful change; every me seems
to have their parts better committed,
and perform with new life. They now
give q good shoe. Let them be wen
~patronized.
DoNe WELL.-The Yellow Jacket Co.
are taking out at the present time a
large amount of ore. The engineer in
formed us that the cages were kept con-
stantly in motion. This company, by
some means, seems to contrive to have
their ore transported to the mills IN all
kinds of weather. Although they are
taking out more ore, perhaps, tbs any
other mine on the Comstock, yet the
dunn is kept comparatively clear, and
the work goes steadily forward.
IxposrASr TO MISrRs.-We desire to
saw to the miners of Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia, that all those desiring one OF
wells patent candle-holders can lind
them at the hardware store Of Bittner &
Co., Main street, Gold Hill. They are
most complete arrangements, and every
miner should have one by all means;
Let those who have not seen them call
At the store and examine them.
SENATOR NYE.-Senator Nye left Vir-
ginia this morning by the Pioneer stage
on his way to Washington. Quite a
crowd assembled to see the old Grey
Eagle spread his pinions for q long trip;
May the hand of Providence protect ana
guard him from all harm on his long
journey, is the wish Of the people Oh
Nevada.
MORE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS invoice
of machinery was received yesterday by
the Imperial and Empire for their new
hosting works, being principally large
iron pear-wheels. From the quantity
and quality Of machinery being placed
ON the ground by these Companies, the
hosting works when erected will be
superior to any yetput up.
SrxAx.-This morning we were in the
hosting works of the Yellow Jacket,
and the steam that comes out Of the
shaft is moi absorbed by the atmosphere
in the slightest degree, the result oi
which is that 8 person cannot discern
n object at Eve feet any place N the
works.
New CxERx.-We notice that Boegie'
81 the Post Office News Depot, has Sc
cured A new clerk-one that is young
and handsome. Now there is not q
donbt but what Boegle will soon have
the control of the news business.
sHur DowS.-We understand tnas
nearly all the mills in the canon have
been compelled to shut down for want
osroeI. The Pluto and a few others
are fortunate enough to have supply
Of ore on hand.
