Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-04-04
THIS YEAR.

You can feel the old strong life of
"Washoe"-not its "iush" but its SUBJ
stantial pulse of other days-in the
Spring-time that has come. The peo-
pie generally appear to realize that the
present year is likely to be one Of un-
usual prosperity for Nevada. Il may
be that we Of Storey are not to expert
ance an enhancement Of business in
terests to . great extent, directly, right
at our doors. But the State generally,
and Storey with an approach to proper
tionate share, is to be helped forward
by new enterprises, discoveries. develop
ments, to q degree that will mark 1867
as a lucky year. The hitherto une1-
plored regions Of Nevada, that is, the
unassayed districts, will all be "sound-
ed in the bottom of the chemists pot,
before another winter sets in. We are
quite confident that the real and rich
mining interests Of Humboldt, Lander,
Nye land Lincoln) counties will be sc
far exhibited, in bullion returns, this
year, as to render them in all respects
as much "mining counties as is ''little
Storey" which it was intended by the
mine-taI law to fleece and fatten out.
A especial session" called next winter,
would represent from the outside locali-
ties named such IN overwhelming senti-
ment Of lore for Bias. and his taI-bill,
as-(to change the tense) as will pre-
vent any such sessions calling.
This year is going to tell the story,
almost to q day, as to the time when the
Pacific Railroad will be completed. The
actual progress and the surveys Of this
year will locate the time Of the end Of
perfecting work On this vast enterprise.
And Nevada is to be placed, this year,
in every convenient communication with
San Francisco. All talk about SHOWS
stopping the construction Of the great
central railroad across the Continent,
ia all humbug. We have ever so re-
garded it; though we have urged the
selection Of as light snow routes as pos
sible, and think that in this respect the
Dutch Flat Railroad Company made the
worst kind of q selection. But the sum-
mits of the Sierras and the Rocky Noun
tains can and will be rooted, and so the
road rendered "open' for all times, and
less dangerous for travel than any other
mountain roads in the Union. The
Placeryille and Washoe Railroad En-
gineer, F. A. Bishop, in his able
report of q survey of a route infinitely
superior 20 the Dutch Flat, with only
IL or Is feet of snow on a very small
portion of it, candidly stated that ''roof-
ing'' was a part of his programme.
And "rooing" it will be on the Dutch
Flat Railroad, this year. And over the
worst "pass" for a track that was ever
attempted, this side of the Alps, the
locomotive is coming-this year.
We are going to be represented in the
Paris Exposition, this year. Despite
the objections of His In~tslligency, Chas.
Brooks, (whom Bias. promised the ap-
pointment Of Commissioner and then
didn't)-in spite of spite's self, His Ma
l~evolency, Charley Brooks, is going to
France, under a commissioning law of
this State, there to display a cabinet
from Nevada such as will make the
phragmatical Frenchmen open their
eyes. and their.purses..o of investment to-
ward this State. Same effect is expect
ed from this forward movement on Ger
many. We are going to have mueho
6ueno of right kind of immigration
from among the the skilled miners Of
Europe. And Crapsau L Co., John
Bull and other secondaries counted in
will consider it well to take a share in
our lodges, many of them, after this
year. Strong and cordial il the hope
and expectation that the subjects Of the
Gar will be enticed, in considerable
numbers, to come hither, after viewing
the specimen wonders Of this State,
which will be exhibited at the EXPOSE
tion-this year. Had we annexed
Utah, the Turks would have had every
inducement, etc?) We are glad to see
inducements, solicitations, for an in
come Of white people from all parts of
the civilized world, such as will be
made, emphstically-thisy year.
We have made arrangements to hear
regularly from all parts of the State, in
a correspondence for the NEWS, during
the present year, such as has not been
secured before by any journal this side
Of Oregon. From new diggings, in ev-
cry mining county, we shall have a
budget of reports every week, so soon
as the regular working season com
mences.
The NEWS will $50 i~ntended) be up to
the times; replete with Nevada mining
items, and lively as the law will allow
this year.
