Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-04-03
THE EVENING NEWS.

tue Sues OF tue street, from the center
Of town to the Nevada House, in lower
Gold Hill. These bitches serve to drain
all the water and slush from the street,
thus giving it an opportunity to dry up.
The money which was subscribed to be
used in matchmaking the treet is being
properly applied. 4 large number Of
teams and men are kept employed in
hauling and breaking rock. The road
is quite dusty from the Gold Hill Foun-
dry TO Dayton, and every day adds q
few more rods 10 the dusty part on the
upper end. One week of fair weather
will put the roads from Gold Hill to
Silver, Dayton and Empire in most eI-
cellent order. Even at the present time
the road is not bad at all, and teamSa are
hauling full loads to the mills below,
the result of which is, there is an abun-
dance Of rock at all of them. Gold Hill
at this time shows more real life than
any town in the State, and in justice to
her citizens il has to be acknowledged
that the people of this place have more
real enterprise than any other town be-
tween the Sierras and Rocky Mountains.
Eh1 ANFANONS.-lV sOAlO SAeSAS "a
preparation OF u petty theft, such as
stealing from a neighbours ~wood-pile
during the late storms, and the conse-
quent scarcity Of fuel, might have been
eXcusable-but to rob y graveyard Of
its fencing material-to dig up cedar
posts which set two and y half feet in
81. .-.,ul - ,.hs,k Id ,nst t-N AL
lars each-is STOPPING a little too deep
in heartleS crime, and is not e1cusable; |
and q person who is guilty of 1t will not
hesitate 10 entera graveyard at the dead
hour of night and take therefrom the
head and f~Oot-boards from the graves OF
the helpless dead. Mr.. Hamlin, the
Town Sexton of Gold Hill, has diScov-
cred that there is Il wretch, or wretches, |
living not far from the cemetery, whom
the devil has tempted 10, deSecra.e the
city Of the dead in the way above de-
scribed. The Sexton offers q reward
for the detection of the thief or thieves.
We hope the infamous Scoundrels will
be detected, exposed 10 the public, and
duly punished rs the law directs.
TRuCKEE VALLEY.-This morning we
had the pleasure of meeting, in Virginia,
Mr.. Larcomb. who resides on the True
kee river. He informs US that spring
has fairly opened in the valley. The
fields are green and grass is beginning
10 be OF service TO stock. The river is
full of trout, making il u pleasant place
10 visit n this time. The Truckee VAL
ley is one Of. the richest valleys in the
State, and has a climate not surpassed
by any valley in California. There are
many splendid farms, extending back
from the river in some places for q dis
lance OF ten miles on either side. y
large amount OF barley, wheat and corn
are raised in this valley every year,
while vegetables of all kinds are grown
in great abundance. Peas, beans, etc,
are now almost in bloom. This is all
within three hours ride Of our snow
clad hills and frigid temperature. Truly
Nevada is y queer country.
ALL FooL's DAY.-April-fooling was
pretty extensively practiced on Monday,
among the boys round. In Virginia
city, Will Campbell on several occasions
during the day pursued the telegraph
boy, who was reported to have a dis
patch of "conirmation' from Washing
ton, for the new U. S. District Attorney.
The "Commodore" had $40 left to his
account at Spalding's saloon; and he
rushed thither TO FIND the currency de-
posted uumarketablc. DR.. Veatch was
sent for, his notes, etc, by Judge
Hardy, in order 10 be ready to testify as
next witness" in the Savage case; but
before the venerable gentleman return
ed the Court had adjourned. Judge
Baldwin had nothing whatever to do
with this cruel goak.)
MAX is HERE.-Ma1 Walter arrived
by the Douner Lake stage to-day, with
the remainder Of his troupe, and will
open the Opera House on Tomorrow
evening. He says, all he asks is "for
the peoples 10 come and see what he
does" Max is in high glee, and seems
TO think he has made all the necessary
arrangements for securing the stars as
fast as they come to San Francisco.
When the stage drove up TO the Inter-
national Hotel, u crowd collected as
large as if Andrew Johnson had ARRIVED.
The people are evidently glad to see
Max here AS he always brings an ahnn-
dance Of fun with him.
GOULD Il CURRy.-We understand that
the Gould 4 Curry company have sus-
pended operations SO far as taking out
ore is concerned. The work of sinking
will continue, however, and IA small
force of men no doubt will be employed
in prospecting. For some time past the
ore taken out was Of an inferior quality, |
and only paid expenses, consequently it
was thought best to suspend until a
better quality Of ore could be develop
ed. The Curry, no doubt, when it at
ain sufficient depth will find the same
BODY of ore that the Savage company
are now working upon.
CAUaHr.-A short time since a man
in Virginia city, by the name Of White,
~bargained with a man named Savage,
for a horse, saddle and bride, forwhich
he agreed to pay S65. The horse was
left at Olin's stable for White, as soon
as said White paid for him and received
a bill Of sale. White, presently came to
the stable and took the horse out, and
left without paying the money. Savage
pursued and overhauled him at a place
called West Gate, where the horse was
recovered.
CHoLLAR-PorosI.-It is said by some
who profess to know, and who should
know, concerning the prospects OF the
mine, that they have at the present time
a splendid body of ore; bu. why no
fully understood. All the mines known
to have plenty of paying ore are making
money and paying dividends
THE wEArHER.-once more old Sol
smiles on us. May he continue to do
% for the next month, is the sincere
wish Of every one.
