Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-12-31
Asorurn Floop.-The heavy raius Of

ANOTHER FLooD.-The heavy raius o
last night and this morning raiset
another terrific food in Grown Poin'
Rayiue, worse than the recent previous
ones. The water got through into the
Grown Point shaft, but was stopped, and
made to run past the works in a flumt
constructed for the purpose. A large
force of men are ut work with shovels,
hoes, etc., making or rather deepening
q channel around the Kentuck works,
and combining the big food to its proper
limits. No great damage has been done
in the ravine as yet, but men will have
to work in the water all night, tonight,
from present appearances. All day a
small river has been rushing down Main
street, and in Lower Gold Hill it has
| undermined some Of the houses to a
dangerous extent. Tho road is very
badly cut up in that direction, so much
SO as to be nearly impossible. We
fear bad news from Carson river and
other points liable to floods.
GOLD HILL TuEArER.-Spriggs l. Ed
wards Minstrel Troupe are gaining in
popularity among the Gold Killers, and
are drawing good houses. A very jolly
performance will be given on this, New
Years eve, and as the storm has about
shut off communication with Virginia,
there will be a large house to witness
the eccentricities of Spriggs, Edwards,
Sparrow, Murphy, and tho female per-
formers. Tomorrow afternoon at two
o'clock, they give will q grand holiday
performance; and also in the evening.
HAS NO EoEAL.-James Moore, tho
colored porter at the Bank of California
in Gold Hill, has doubtless handled
more bullion than any white or colored
man on the Pacific coast. Since his
residence in Gold Hill he has handled
at least $50, 900, 900 in bullion bars
and was honest enough not to defraud
his employers out of a single bar or q
dollar. Jim hardly realizes the amount
of precious cash he has handled. Jim
is an honest man, and has a family at
New Bedford.
RHINE WIyE.-Charles Mueller, of the
Philadelphia Saloon, next door to Ca
hill 4 Co.'s brokers' Office, Virginia city,
this morning sent us q sample OF his
superior bottled Rhine wine, as n New
Years present. tits q superior %articlei
no counterfeit about it, as is the case
with most of tho California wines-and
one bottle of "Pabstmann Il Sons Nier-
steiner" is worth any half dozen bottles
of Rhine wine we ever drank.
ROAST BEEr.-Wc acknowledge u
splendid, large roast of delicious beef,
with the compliments Of Wilson Il Co.,
Union Market, Main street, below Crown
Point. Such rich, juicy and healthy
beef is fit for a~nybody's dinner table on
New Years Day. We hope the Union
Market may always have q full supply
of such beef, and plenty Of cash custom
ers to buy it.
MORE SroRM.-A drizzling rain set in
about dark last evening which gradually
increased, until towards morning, it be-
came Il steady, pouring rain, which still
continues. The mud in consequence is
fearful, and the roads everywhere are
being badly washed and cut up. This
is some more Of your L" open winter"
Bah!
PosrPoSED.-In consequence OF the
terrible storm, and the great injury to
the roads in Lower Gold Hill, the New
Years Eve ball, at the Pluto House, has
been postponed. Due notice will be
given when it will come of.
GRAND GERMAN BALL.-Rcmember
that the gay and festive German Ball,
so long promised, takes place this even
ing at tho Athletic Hall, Virginia.
LADIES NIGur.-Piper will treat the
patrons of his famous Opera House to
another "ladies' night" on Thursday
evening.
