Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1868-02-28


enough, but in lower Gold Hill it is
much worse. The river Of mud slowly
struggling down, fills up all the chuck
holes and gullies, so that it looks com
paratively innocent, but heavily loaded
quartz wagons SO rolling, twisting n
tumbling along like ships in a heavy
sea. Such wheeling tries the timberthe
are made of. Marshal Cummings does the
best he can to fill in all the worst places,
but the breaking down Of wagons is OF
almost daily occurrence. We noticed
one wagon with n fore wheel smashed
Yesterday afternoon, just below the
Vesey House. Before another Winter.
Main street ought to be well filled in
with waste rock and rounded up high
in the middle so as to have a good gut
ter on each side, instead Of in the mid
die, rs at present.

drama Of Black Eyed Susan" and
also in the beautiful and sensational
two act play entitled the (" Irish Dia-
mond." She will be well supported.
The iuterlude will be q particularly
good me-: Harry Spriggs appears in a
grand stump speech, Miss Josephine
and Barnwell sing u duet, Sue Robinson
performs one of her inimitable fancy
dances, Jimmy Murphy does up the
''Pretty 0ctoroon," and she replies to
him in the person Of Johnny Tuers, the
chief eccentric whimsicality Of the Pa
ci6c coast.
A Foul SLANDER.-0ld Gabriel, the
chief horn blower up in Horntown tries
to disparage and throw obloquy upon
our thriving town by speaking Of it as
slippery Gulch," or "Slumgullion
Gutter" What true Gold Hitler, rs he
contemplates the unndorned beauties OF
Main street at the present time, does
not in his soul scoru the foul aspersion?
That dilapidated old humbug had bet.
ter come down here for q delightful
promenade. Brier steps round here
everywhere without getting a particle
of mud on his immaculate boots.
|" Slumgullion Gutter" indeed! Might
as we'll call US all "Gutter Snipes."
Get thee to a bummery, Gabriel.
