Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-04-12
THE EVENING NEWS.

c street, is a pair of stairs or steps lead
ing up the embankment to b street. "A
few DAYS since, we noticed, about mid
way of the steps, that they were covered
with blood. while on the ground below
there were large pools of it, as though
there had been not less than a gallon
spilt, A day or two after, we also no.
ticed. while coming from Virginia to
Gold Hill. near the side Of the road,
blood all over the ground for a space Of
ten feet square. In some places there
were pools containing over a gill of
clothed blood. There may be nothing
wrong about all this, but, at the time
we saw il, it looked to US strange how
so much blood could have been spilled
unless there had been some foul play.
1t is an easy matter for some Of the
murderous villains, who are ever ready
to cut q mans throat, to carry the vic
tim, after it has been murdered, to some
Of the numerous shafts, that abound in
all parts of the country, and dump it
in, thus forever hiding the foul deed.
Since the cowardly murder Of Mr.. Hill,
We have surmised that in the case we
have mentioned there was something
wrong. A gentleman remarked to us
yesterday, that in au experience Of near
ly eight years in this State, he had never
seen so many persons who were living
without any visible of support:
and that, in his opinion, they must have
recourse to bad conduct in order to live
as they do. In every town in the State,
where there is ever so small n popula-
ton, there are more or less Of these fell
lows. They generally have more money
than people who work although, at
times, they are broke, and then make n
raise-dnd, hopP is the question. They
should all be made TO show how they
procure a living; if it is an honest way,
they should not be ashamed Of it and,
if it is not honest, it should be stopped.
VIRGINIA AND GOLD HILL.-But few
persons have ever noticed the wonder
full difference in the climate Of Gold
Hill and Virginia. There are to eI-
coed two hundred feet difference in the
altitude of the two places, yet there is
all the difference imaginable in the eli
mate. This morning in Virginia the
streets were almost deserted; scarcely
nny teams were to be seen, while occa-
s~joually a maj would dodge out Of one
house and into another, always taking
good care TO hold his hand on top OF
his head, either TO keep the wind from
blowing his hat or his head of. The
air was filled with clouds OF snow,
which was being whirled in all direc-
lions, some of il going up and some
coming down. Frame buildings shook
and creaked as though they were labor
ing in a heavy sea, while large brick
buildings trembled as though they were
shaken TO their foundations by an earth
quake. On the Divide, this morning, |
we saw a number of teamsters sitting
on their mules, with one hand holding
the whip and line and the other holding
on to the harness to keep from being
blown away In some places on the
Divide the snow has drifted to the depth
of two feet; while other places are left
bare. In Main street, of u own little
city, the weather is entirely diferent
the wind and clouds Of now have dis
appeared, and aside from the snow on
the ground, which is melting rapidly,
the weather is like spring. The snow
about Gold Hill will nearly all disappear
by night.
YIELD OF WALKER RIVER ORE.-Yes-
terdsy Leopold Kuh, the we'll known as
sayer of this city, made two assays OF
ore from the new districts of Wilson and
Washington, situated between the forks
of Walker River. The first yielded, per
ton, silver Sl96 &c, gold $40 90, total
S2O6 IS; the second yielded, per ton,
silver S29+ 90, gold $40 81, total $500
80. From the original Wilson claim, IN
Wilson District, the mill of Cheeyer /
Todman has been crushing some excel
lent paying ore, the last clean up YIELD
ing a fine bar Of gold weighing u little
over 60 ounces and Of the assayed value
of Sl,44S 10. The gold is 9lS fine and
worth SIS 95 per ounce, the bullion
containing but a very slight proportion
of silver. The mines of that locality are
among the most promising yet discov-
cred this side Of the Sierras.
CLArRvoYASr PHYsIcIAS.-Mrs. Stowe,
a lady who has acquired quite a celeori-
.y in the line Of c~lairvoyance, and cur
ing the sick through the medium Of that
science, has paid the people Of Virginia
city and Gold Hill another visit, ana
will remain for o month or TWO. Sne
has taken rooms at the International
Hotel, in Virginia-and, as Will DE seen
by her card, under " New To-Day, she
will be pleased to receive a visit from
her old friends.
PERsoyAL,-we met Ned Couldren in
Virginia last night, and he says the peo-
pie Of Virginia are a swindle, for he
crossed the street three times in the
dark last night in search of a sidewalk,
and found nothing but mud from six
inches to two feet deep; yet the Vir-
piuians manage TO make their heels rat
lie, as though they walked on a pave
ment. Poor Ned looked sadly besmeared
with mud for some distance above his
boots.
OPERA HousE.-This evening the new
play of "The Female Gambler Will be
performed at the Opera House. Several
new actors will appear on the occasion;
The house will be comfortably warmed
and a more pleasant place to spend an
evening, we think, is hard to find. Max
has a most excellent troupe and snouia
meet with GOOD patronage from the peo-
ple of Gold Hill and Virginia. E.
CHANGED HASDs.-The Greyhound
Saloon, formally kept by Joe LAhower'
has changed hands, having sold out TO
Panian & Rapp. They design rehtsins
IN. place and making it second to no
saloon in town. They are good fellows,
and will get a large share Of the puonc
patronage.
ANOTHER FLooD.-The melting snow
has started another food down Main
street, but this time it is not 50 osa 10
il has been heretofore, as the street nas
been Macadamized, and the water
sweeps along over it like the matter IN
