GoLp HILL MISEs.-Yesterday after
noon we started out among the mines
of Gold Hill, to see if we could find any
thing Of interest for our readers. All
that was to be seen different from when
we last visited them was the great num-
Der Of wagons loading Ut the different
dumps. On our last trip we found few
or no teams loading at the dumps, but
this time we found just as many as could
get up to them - the roads being
full Of wagons; and, with the rattle Of
shovels, screeching of break-blocks and
swearing of Transfers, it was almost i'm
possible to hear ones self speak. This
is what we call good times. 1t is what
we call lively, aud that kind Of life
which supports and builds up a commu-
nifty. There are two kinds Of lively
times; one is calculated to work a great
benefit TO a community, while the other
will, in the end, work a great injury.
One is based on a good solid founda-
ton, while the other is based on an i'm
aginary one. For instance, during the
year 1868 there was the liyeliest time
ever seen in this country. Money was
as plentiful as dirt or sage-brush on our
mountains. Stocks ran up to fabulous
prices. Imaginary lodges sold at fifty
and a hundred dollars per foot. The
people thought this would last always.
But such was not the case for it was
lively times based on imaginary mines,
and, in the end, worked an injury that
took the country several years to relieve
herself from. The other kind Of lively
times, and the kind we like to see, is
based on q large amount Of rich ore,
with plenty of teams to transport it to
the mills, and to see our assay offices
busily engaged in moulding silver
bricks, and the shipments running from
1900 to 5000 pounds every day. Thisis
the kind of life that will cause even the
barren sage-brush hills of Nevada to
look more lovely than Sharon's wales.
Although the wagons were as thick as
they could be, yet they seemed TO pro-
duce but little effect IN the dumps.
There is at this time, out and ready TO
be taken away, at the different mines in
Gold Hill, not less than twenty thousand
tons of ore. If the roads will but i'm
prove so that the teams can haul away
the ore, there will be enough to run all
AZ. ILL. q. tha rAnnfrv QfaaHIlu for
the ne1t six months before they can
catch up. At the Yellow Jacket we
found them preparing to sink for another
level. They were cleaning out the mud
and slum from the stump in the bottom
of the shaft preparatory to commencing
70 sink. The mine is now yielding a
great deal of excellent ore, with a splen-
did prospect ahead; yet they are not
going to wal: until the upper body is
exhausted before they have opened an
other level. We noticed, also, at the
Crown Point mine, that the ore being
taken out was Of a superior quality,
having a large proportion Of the old
fashioned black sulphurets of silver in it.
II the mines of Gold Hill do not look
promising at the present time, then they
never have done so. Neyada's day star
is Just beginning to throw a small halo
of light around, and people are wonder
ing what it is. A few more years and
her silvery light will be seen, and her
praise be sung all owe the world.
LOOK Our FOR CHICKEN THIEvEs?-
Night before last. hen -roost belonging
to Mr.. Butsch, in Gold Hill, was re-
lieyed Of about a dozen fine fowls; and
last night the hennery Of Mr.. Hyde,
south side of Crown Point Rayine, was
relieved of as many more, by some
thieves to the owners unknown. China
New Years is upon US; and the Chinese
are notorious chicken thieves. But
there are also some white scoundrels
who steal chickens at the Chinaman's
Expense There is a white scoundrel up
in Virginia City, known among the Chi
men by the name of Charley, aged be-
tween th~irty-fve and forty years, who
is in the habit of robbing memories,
and selling his booty to Cinnamon. We
have it from good authority that several
months ago he had in his possession q
whole lot of fine fat chickens, and some
blankets, which he offered to sell to
Cinnamon in Gold Hill at mere nominal
prices. Look out for your h~en-roosts;
set a watch, and if detected, put a bull
let through them, white men or Chi
nese. That's what we would do.
To wHox IT NAY CoScERS.-In behalf
of the people of lower Gold Hill we wish
to say to the person, or persons, who
allow water to run down Main street
every night, keeping the road in lower
Gold Hill in the worst possible condi-
ton, that if they want to act the part OF
respectable men they should put'a stop
TO Il; and if they won't do so, parties in
that part of town intend tracing it to its
source, and making lively times in that
section. They have been shamefuiiy
imposed upon, and we do not blame
them for getting "grouty" about it.
A CHASeE.-Quite a change is being
made in the Office of Wells, Fargo &
Co., Virginia. The desk occupied BY
Mr.. Gray, the Stage Agent, has oeen
taken out and the office has been re-
moved to the apartments of the Us.
Telegraph Co. The place has oeen
changed so as to be adapted to the ous-
mess. 1t gives a great deal more room
in the building, and is 8 most decidea
improvement in the whole arrangement
A.GESrtExAS.-one Of the best places
to discover whether a nan is a gentle
man or not, is in an omnibus. If he IS
q trough" he always thinks it "cute'
to use obscene and profane language.
No gentleman will do it.
