Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-01-04
THE EVENING NEWS.
THr CAusr.-Many persons who ar

case, Tor yesterday We PSSS "
among the mines of Gold Hill and 'r-
pinia TO see how things were running,
and we found at all the mines we visited
the dumps and all the vacant ground IN
their vicinity filled with good pay ore.
AZ the Savage there is in the new dumps
at the present time 1000 tons OF hrst
class ore, which will give a yield OF not
less than $50, 900 TO say the least Of 1t.
In fact all the mines where pay ore is
being taken out, is in the same con- |
dition. For over two weeks the roads
have been so miry that ii has been i'm
possible TO deliver the ore at the mills. |
MANY Of the teams have hauled OF,
while those that are at work can not
deliver more than half the amount they
could do if the roads were in good con-
dition. Many of the mills are lying idle
for want of ore, while many Of the mines
have been compelled TO suspend opera
tons for want of dumping room for the
ore that is being taken out. This is the
cause of the deficiency in our shipments.
The mines Of the Comstock ledge never
looked more promising than they do at
the present time, nor have they ever
Welded more paying ore than now. The
time when the great Comstock shall fail
to send forth her rich treasures IS away
off in the dim mistS Of the future. Cen
erations will pass away, yet the fame OF
the Comstock will live.
SERIOUS JoxlSG.-We heard a pretty
good local joke this morning, and as
the weather is a little frosty these times,
it will do to tell in print; a joke told in
this way always lasts longer; besides
which the neighborhood gets a slice. 1t
happened in front Of the Bank Of Cali
fornia. Dialogue between two we'll
known characters in Gold Hill:
Lem-Hello, Hank, why | see you are
able to crawl around again.
Hank-well, yes; but came near go
ing in.
Iem-I was in hopes it might happen.
came near going in myself, not long
ago. So | bought a lot down in the
graveyard; but I'm all right now, n
Shall not need it. Couldn't | sell to
you?
Hank-Guess not. met old Hamlin
this morning, and as he looked rather
disappointed, l concluded that must
be getting well, at least in ooks,
shall not need an undertaken just yet.
Besides that, if | had died, old Leet
would have let out the contract for the
funeral, so that it would not have cost
over seyenty-fve dollars for the job.
Lem Goliath has q lot in the grave
ward, which is ready for a tenant. Who
wants to buy a lot? As Hank was the
only sick man in town, and as he is pro-
nounced out of danger by the under
taker, somebody from abroad must come
TO invest in that lot. Such fellows as
Hank and Lem hardly ever die. Not
much.
CATHOLIC CHuRcH.-The new Catholic
Church which is being erected in Gold
Hill, is now all enclosed. The building
is 90 fee. long, SO feet wide and 20 feet
to the ceiling. The spire will be 80 feet
high. The whole building will, when
completed, be ceiled throughout. The
wortmen at the present time are engag-
ed in laying the floor and putting on the
ceiling. It will require about a month
70 complete the work. The windows
are 6lled with beautiful stained glass,
throwing q variety of lights over the
church. This is the largest and prooa-
bly, the best church in Gold Hill, when
completed.
BENEFITS OF MrD.-Yesterday even
ing, as a large wagon filed with quartz,
and with six horses attached to 1t, was
going down Main street, and when just
in front Of the Yellow Jacket office, the
ot-wheel horse lost his footing and was
thrown TO the ground. The fore-wheel
on one side Of the wagon passed directly
over the hind legs Of the horse, but, as
good luck would have it, the mud was
so deep the horse did not sustain the
slightest injury from the accident, and
when released from his position went
along as though nothing had happened.
srAors.-A few days since we stated
tina, the Overland Company was now
booking passengers from Virginia
through TO the States. The prices OF
passase to different points from Virginia
are as follows: From Virginia to Leav-
epwor,h. $685.; to Omaha, 1922; to Salt
LAX. CITY. Sl4l-all of which Is IN
greenbacks; to Austin, $40 IN com; 70
Sacramento, (by the Pioneer hne,I sSo
in coin. These are the prices to all the
different points of much Importance.
SAvAeE.-Yesterday we were down 70
see the Savage works, at what is known
as the Curtis Shaft. The new 25o-horse
power pump engine is in full operation,
and a more complete engine and maenin
cry We have never seen any place tnan
this. The machinery works perfectly
noiseless, while in the gearing a GOD
en- wheel works against an iron one,
making the thing perfectly quiet
Many years will elapse before the ma
chinery Of the Savage will be beaten.
REBuILpNG.-The building which was
destroyed by FIRE on New Years evening
is being rapidly rebuilt. The sides and
rafters are already up, and a portion OF
the floor is laid. A large force of men
is employed on the work. Mrs. Wiley
is one Of those persons who will not be
kept down, but, in spite Of Ere or any
thing else, will make her hotel go.
CoLD WEArHER.-Last night was one
of the coolest nights Of the season. The
streets this morning, in Virginia, were
frozen as hard as a rock, and as smooth
as q pavement. II is to be hoped that
the roads will either freeze up or dry
up, so the ore from our mines a be
hauled of.
SurrsRLY.-Clem Sutterly, we learn,
is now sole proprietor of Su,terly's Pho
tograph Gallery, corner B and Taylor
streets. Glenn is now prepared to do all
kinds Of work in his line in the most
improved style, and on the most liberal
terms.

and most complete stock Of furniture,
bedding, crockery, sewing machines,
etc., In the State IL Won waut n voOd
