Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1869-10-30

Two or three Day ago, the Revenue oI-
ficers made q raid upon the breweries
aud saloons, in order to see that all beer
kegs were properly stamped, in compli-
ance with the law, which requires that
the, proper stamp shall be so pasted
across the usual plug hole in the head
Of each keg, that in driving the faucet
in order to tap it, the stamp could not
fail to be destroyed. At Virginia they
found instances where they had been
simply stuck at one edge, 10 that it
could be raised, aud thus the faucet
driven in without injuring the stamp.
At a beer saloon in Gold Hill, however,
they found a keg with the stamp pasted
in the middle of the head, clear out OF
the way Of any tap hole or faucet. On
being called to account, the proprietor
explained this little circumstance, oy
stating that the stamp was pasted across
the tap hole properly in the first place,
but it being a key Of steam beer, the
effervescent beverage had foreibly oozed
out around the plug, and as the keg
stood that end up, the beer bad doated
the stamp from its original location, and
finally deposited il in the center of the
head and dried up, leaving it there.
This explanation not being deemed suf-
fcieut, the keg was confseated. How
strange!
