A GOLD HILL INSTITUTION. - Ed.

A GOLD Mill iSoliIViiONs Eu.
Schaefer's famous San Francisco Res.
taurant, Main street, Gold Hill, q few
doors below the News office, is one of
the most important institutions of the
town as far as the feeding Of the human
race is concerned, in this locality. The
present fue building was completed
but a few weeks ago, over the ashes of
the old San Francisco Restaurant, de-
stroyed by fire this spring; and although
Schaefer's old establishment was always
noted as q favorite place for everybody
to board, yet the present building is u
great improvement on the old one, being
two stories in hight and much more
roomy and better arranged throughout
10 every respect. The Hall in the second
story, for public balls, parties, etc., is
q very fine one, neatly furnished, and
measuring thirty-four by forty feet,
with ceiling twelve feet high; the walls
are decorated with nice pictures, aud
abundantly lighted with glass doors
and windows. It is just the very
Hall required on various occasions.
But this is the least important part Of
the establishment. The restaurant is
the main point of all, rs here is where
numerous miners, mechanics, business
men and other Gold Hill residents get
their daily food. The spacious, neatly
arranged, well lighted and ventilated
dining hall is &c by 30 feet square, and
has all the requisite tables and other
accommodations for seating and feeding
about 60 persons at one and the same
time, besides which there are
on the cool north side Of this dining sa-
loon, four neatly arranged and elegant
ly furnished private rooms for ice cream,
or ladies dining rooms, each Of which
has ample accommodation for six per-
m thus Schaefer is fully able to ac-
commodate nearly II hundred persons
all at one time. As to his capability to
feed that many persons all at once,
a glance at his kitchen arrange.
ments yesterday afternoon satisfied US
in that respect. The kitchen is large,
roomy, and well appointed in every re-
spect, with cooking range accommoda-
ton of ample capacity to prepare grub
for n small army. Under this kitchen
is q nice cool cellar, where meats, veg
etables, and other requisites are kept in
good order. The cooks in the kitchen
are all possessed Of Il high order OF
merit rs professors Of the ~gastronomic
art, consequently the food cannot fail
TO be properly prepared. The arrange
ments for the broiling Of steaks aud cut
lets are particularly excellent. But
perhaps the most interesting feature of
all, is the supplying Of the dinner pals
of the miners who board there. These
dinner pals are all filled IN the
kitchen, and are for the miners TO
take along with them for the one meal
each shift has to eat in the depths Of
the darksome mine, or about the sur
face works. The attending to twenty
FIVE or thirty of these pals is more of a
particular job than any one would sup
pose at FIRST thought. The miners all
want the very best food, and will not
be sighted. Each pail is marked, and
one man attends to them all. He has
TO keep run of what each pail requires;
as for instance, one miner wants sugar
in his coffee, while another does not;
one wants plenty of meat, while another
prefers no meat but plenty Of bread and
butter and pastry. Each has his pref
ereuces in these matters, and must be !
duly attended to or fault will be found. |
Boiled corned beef neatly cut up, veg
etables, bread and butter, cake, pie,
preserves, etc., form the staple OF the
contents, and every other day q couple
of boiled eggs. Order, cleanliness,
and regularity are the CHARACTERISTIC OF
Schaefer's establishment, therefore 1t IS
no wonder that it is so we'll patronized.
FIRE, ALMOST. About IL A N. to-
day a FIRE was discovered in the loft OF
the old stable belonging to the Empire
Company, on High street, back Of Mrs.
Emerson's boarding house. The alarm
was given, and in q very few minutes
Hose Companies Nos. l and 2 were on
hand with their jumpers. Fortunately,
however, their services were not re-
quired, as the fire was put out by the
~neichbors With o few buckets Of water
j~udiciously applied. Very little dam
age was done, although there might
have been had it got u good fair start,
as the buildings adjoining are all OF
wood, and dry as tiuderjust about now.
Tlis is the same old building that the
Piutes are said TO have set fire TO about
q week ago, because they were refused
the further occupancy OF 1t for their
regular card playing purposes. Some
charge them with setting fire to 1t this
time, and we are also Informed that n
person has been sleeping in the corner
Of the loft where the fire occurred until
recently, and that he had a lot Of match
es living near the head OF his bed, where
the hot rays Of the sun might have iG-
nited them. Be that as it may, this old
building is of no use to anybody par
ticularly, nor is it IN ornament to the
neighborhood, and being evidently a
rather dangerous and infammatory
concern, it should be either torn down
or securely nailed up forthwith.
PUBLIC SCHOOL CHiLDREN.-To W. W.
Waterman, of Gold Hill, and ]. W.
whitcher, of Virginia, we are indebted
for the following items relative to the
number of children attached to the
public schools of Storey County under
eighteen years of age: Virginia, 1903 /;
Gold Hill, 635; American City, So;
Flowery, CO; total, 2,O52. These items
are from the census just now completed
by the order Of the Superintendent oil
Public Instruction. The returns show
n loss in Virginia Of Is children, aud q
gain Of IS in Gold Hill as compared
with last year. Quite an argument in
favor ofthe f~ecundity of Gold Hill.
