EprroR GOLD HILL NEvs: After get
ting through with my daily labor, I
took q stroll up town to hear. the news
about the great barbecue. According
to Hoyls, the great Adolph came at the
appointed time, and was received with
three hearty cheers from q small crowd
Of small boys. And next on the pro.
gramms was o drink, and after that was
to 90 down to Corral Canyon and drive
the fr,t pick, and after various prelimi.
nariss they all repaired to the Court
house, in Dayton, TO parsake Of the
beautiful feast spread there for them.
The FIRST thing or the docket was the
mammoth OK, and lol tho OK was
spoiled stunk worse that if it had laid
in the sagebrush for q month. And
what was to be done-n nothing left but
one small pig | and that was not half
enough for Sutro himself. "But," says
one, :" there is bread enough for the
whole country ; Tom Smith has baked q
whole dozen loavss." "But," says
another, 81 have not had anything to
eat for three days, and I am not going
to wait till Sutro gets through, and
what's to be done? ~ have IT,"
says another, we will get the party up
stairs to speak there while we carve the
pig, and then we will be first" cts
a 60 |" So up stairs they went and
commenced speaking, and the boys
commenced carving, and when the
speaking was over Mr.. Sutro and his
guests went down stairs to eat the bull
lock, and behold ! the or stunk, the pig
was all eat up, together with Tom
Smiths bread, and then, who done the
mischief No one could tell. Some one
said it was Dan DeQuille, and some
said it was the Gold Hill Band. But
that was no go, for both the band boys
and Dan had their breakfast before leay-
ing home. SO Sutro says, $50 nit me-"
and they went NIT him over to a bit sa.
loon and got a drink of tanglefoot, and
there was more fun, all getting deeply
engaged in tho great benefits to be de-
rived from the great enterprise. Then
came the stock. Who will buy this
stock (holding up q large amount Of it
in his handy" "I takes Won SHARE
says q big Dutchman. "One share
Sold" says Sutro, "who is the next
man?" "Mike, will you take some?"
"And faith I bought the first stock that
was sold in town, and I'll not be after
buying any more" Well, by this time
the Stock Board closed, and the party
went to the hotel and got supper and
thea left for Virginia in disgust, cursing
the great tunnel, likewise Adolph Su-
tro. Then came the dance, which took
place at Odeon Hall, and a nice party it
that was no izzls (like the bar
basue). Sutro had no hand in that, at
all. There was about twenty couple,
and good music and supper at Cross'
Hotel, 60: up in fine style.
Now, if Sutro does not build a better
tunnel than be makes n barbecue, the
sooner he quits the better it will be for
him and the community at large.
l forget to mention the Gold Hill
Band. They favored the D~sytonites with
some Of their best music and fno it
was, done up in good style. They were
welcome to the ball room, where they
enjoyed a social dance with the good
people, for we don't have any other kind
here. They danced till after supper
was over and then left for home, ours
ing tho barbecue and prsising the
dance. Yours, truly,
AN OLD MINER.
