Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1868-08-22
REV. Mn. LAruRor.-Ip repeating the

and Boston.
Rev. Mr.. LArHRor.-In repeating the
announcement that Rev. Mr.. Lathrop
will oficiate a, the Episcopal Church III
this town on tomorrow evening, we
must be ~pardoned by the clergyman
named if we notice something Of his
remarkable success as a Pastor, at San
Francisco, since be left Gold Hill and
assumed charge Of Advent Parish. II
is n little over one year since be took
his departure from our midst. At the
time OF the Convention of the Diocese
last Q he preached in San Francisco,
and the "Church OF the Advent" at
once desired to engage him AS their
Minister. Not, however, until a second
and most earnest call did he consent to
make a change in his pastoral relations.
We confess a feeling Of personal pride,
as it were, in the advancement Of Ad-
vent Church since Mr.. Lathrop assumed
its charge. The accessions to the
Church have been unprecedented in its
history ; and Mr.. Lathrop now has the
largest congregation, in regular attend
ance, Of any Episcopal clergyman 10 the
Bay city. The Society have built a
beautiful Sunday School Chapel, re-
Gently, and are now repairing the
Church, and rendering it in some re-
Spects more commodious. A large num-
Der Of the congregation are DESTROYS Of
at once commencing the construction
of q new building-such an ediice as
would cover the entire Of the lot owned
by the Society, and on which the present
structure stands. A plan for a church
capable Of seating 1900 or 1000 per-
sons has, we understand, been fur
nished, and the propriety Of building
according to it considered BY Pastor
and people. We have been informed
that had Mr.. Lathrop expressed a de-
cided wish for q new church ediice, or
concluded that it was advisable in all
respects to Immediately begin the work
of its building, the foundation stones
would now be laid. There is no doubt
in the minds OF the leading men,
bers of Advent Church, in San
Francisco, that if Mr.. Lathrop
remains its Pastor another year las he
is likely to remain for many years. the
most commodious structure Of the kind
in San Francisco will be the church in
which his people gather. An old and
able preacher, he is no less distinguish
ed for his excellence in what is COM
monty understood by the words ''pas-
toral work." We rejoice, exceedingly,
because Of the deserved eminence which
Rev. Mr.. Lathrop has obtained in San
Francisco, as preacher and Pastor, and
we know that such is the cordially e1-
pressed sentiment Of his Gold Hill
church. In testimony Of this We hope
10 see a large attendance at st. Johns
on to-morrow-as doubtless there will
be. In the midst Of his prominent and
most arduous labors in San Francisco,
il will be cheer for him to know that be
has the heartfelt sympathies aud prayers
of his former Nevada parishioners.
IMPORTANT GOLD Hill TuSSEL.-The
long tunnel Of the Gold Hill Quartz
Mining Company, the mouth of which
is In Gold Canyon, at the lower extrem-
ity Of Gold Hill, has now reached a
point about under the old Granite Mill,
and some 800 feet beneath the surface.
Drifts will soon intersect it from the
Eclipse mine, and other mines in the
vicinity, and it will finally come into
general requisition with most OF the
mines in Gold Hill proper, if not oil OF
them, for a drain tunnel, as the water can
be pumped up to u level Of this tunnel,
and thus got rid Of at q much cheaper
rate than raising it higher, or to the
surface. \ large amount Of the surface
ore of the mines will also be worked by
means of the tunnel, which is rather
difficult to get ut just now, by the rea-
son of the shafts and hosting works
not being in very good condition for ef-
fectiye work in this respect. The sur
vey of this valuable tunnel extends
northward under the Divide as far rs
the line between Gold Hill and Viz
GINA.
DEMOCRATIC MEErISG.-The meeting
of the First Ward Democratic Club,
Gold Hill, which we recklessly an
nounced on the strength Of an adver-
tisement to come off at Thester Hall,
vas very we'll attended, there being
twelve present to start in on, and
t~wenty-six, after committees appointed
for that purpose had gone out and
brought in all they could find in aud
about Gold Hill that cared to come.
President Lansing attributed this failure
to the influence Of the Gold Hill NEWS,
but in reality we suspect he was trying
to make political capital by compli-
menting his party on their really being
able to read. Blsrney There not
being enough present for a respectable
showing, the meeting adjourned until
this evening at the same place, when
every member Of the party is earnestly
desired to be present.
IMPERIAL BLOWER ARRIVED. The
Roots patent fan or blower for the In
perlal.E Empire shaft, will arrive to-day
and be put into operation within a very
short time, as the galvanized iron piping
to convey the air down into the depths
Of the mine are already placed in posi-
ton. A neat little eight-horse power
engine is also already in operation, pre-
pared to drive this fan. The present
air pump now in use will be removed to
give place to the fan.
TIE Next USIoS J~uBILEE.-0n Mon
day evening the next grand mass
meeting of the Union men Of Gold Hill
takes place on Main street, Gold Hill.
Hon. George C. Gorham aad Hon. Thos.
Fitch will address the meeting, and an
other good .old.time rally will be en-
loved. Full arrangements will be made
for comfortable seats in good positions
for the numerous ladies who will be
in attendance.
