Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1868-12-07

NOBODY SLAuaHTERED.-A rumor was
quite prevalent in Virginia this morn
ing that . murdered man had been
found in the sage-brush near the Divide
with his head stove in and nearly cut
off with an az. We eagerly hunted for
the subject Of so choicely sensational an
item, but have to disappoint our read
ers. We couldn't find any such corpses
lying about loose. The report most
probably originated in the brain of
some lover of the marvellous and bloody,
who thought it was about time that
some more killing was done. Things in
the cutting and shooting line certainly
are getting rather slack at present.
"MAzEppA" To-MGur. = The grand
spectacular extravaganza Of "Mazep-
pa" will be produced at Piper's Opera
House tonight. Miss Ella LaRue, Of
divine form, will personate the scantily
apparelod youth, who rides a genuine
Tartar steed engaged expressly for this
occasion. The cast of characters. seem
cry, costumes, etc., are all complete,
and we shall expect to see a densely
crowded house on this special occasion.
Miss LaRue, owing to a severe cold, is
in rather poor voice at present, but in
every other respect she most certainly
will carry her part through we'll.
BLOWER EQuIREp.--0uing to the great
heat consequent upon lack OF proper
ventilation at the lower, or 9o0.foot
level of the Yellow Jacket mine, the
rich body of ore found to exist at that
point could not be advantageously
worked until the requisite supply of
fresh pure air could be obtained. For
that purpose a Roots patent blower has
been purchased, which arrived last
| Saturday, and being placed in position
we expect in due time to hear Of rich
returns from the Yellow Jacket lower
level.
STAGE AND EXPRESS RAcISa.-The
stage lines of Wells, Fargo L Co. and
Pacific Union Express Co. are doing up
some pretty tall racing with each other
every evening from Reno to Virginia
on the arrival Of the cars. The express
wagons of each of the rival companies
also have their race to Gold Hill on the
arrival Of the stages at Virginia. Thus
far there seems to be no great beating
done by either line, but horseflesh, pas
sengers and other attendant arrange
ments certainly do get q lively stirring
and shaking up.
Nor SISxIxG.-The Could h Curry
shaft is now l,ls5 feet deep, but
further sinking is for the present sus-
pended in order to prosecute certain
necessary repairs to portions Of the
shaft timbering, and to put in n new
pump column and engine. Sinking
will be recommended in W. or three
weeks, when that body Of quartz fou nd
at the bottom Of the shaft will be
further developed.
