Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1870-06-13

sus Marshal, Augustus Ash, COM
menced this morning taking the census
In Gold Hill. To insure correctness.
as far as possible, 1t Is Of the utmost
importance that all the questions Of
the Marshal should be fully and cor
rectly answered, and We earnestly
hope that every one will give him all
possible assistance in that respect. No
one need hesitate to freely answer the
requisite questions, as the records ofthe
Census Marshals can never be used rs
. basis for taxation, or anything else
out Of the strict business of the census.
All the questions asked by the Assist
ant Marshals should be freely and fully
answered. On this subject, in the in
%structions to Marshals, Gen. Walker,
the very capable Superintendent Of the
Census, says: mo graver offense can
be committed by Assistant Marshals
than to divulge Information acquired
In the discharge Of their duty. Infor-
nation will be solicited Of any breach
Of confidence on the part Of Assistant
Marshals. The Department Is deter
mined to protect the citizens In all his
rights In the present census" With
this assurance, there should be 10 hesi-
tation In answering, and all will bear
fully In mind that OH the accuracy Of
the census depends its chief value.
PICNIC wEArHER.-Owing exclusive
" to the fact Of a grand public picnic
being advertised to take place at Fort
Homestead yesterday, the weather was
stormy, blustry and anything but pro-
pitious for such an occasion. About
the time the buses began to u to
the picnic ground, the gathering clouds
and clustering winds eliminated in
showers of rain, continuing during the
afternoon and evening, and In fact all
last night until daylight this morning.
The picnic was not literally attended in
consequence, although had the weather
been line a huge and merry crowd
would have surely been In attendance.
Professor Nye, whose frequent obser-
vations through the great Gold Hill
telescope on the roof Of the Eclipse mill
rive him . better run Of the weather
than anybody else, says a picnic adver-
eisement will bring q storm every pop
this season. There need be no further
fears Of q dry season. We have got a
rood thing on rain whenever 1t may
Be required. All we have to do Is to
advertise a picnic and we've got 1t sure.
Il Is far more eficacious than praying
fer rain.
A Hot PLACE. "A thermometer
taken down into the 9O0-foot level Of
the Yellow Jacket mine last Saturday
indicated In the breasts, 800 feet from
the shaft. a temperature of 81 degrees.
At the shaft It stood at 81 degrees.
The miners In those breasts work
almost stark naked, and that particu-
lar point Is considered fully as hot or
hotter than In any mine on the Com
stock ledge. From personal expert
ence we think this Is about so. That
certainly Is as hot = place as we ever
wish 10 get into, either In this world
or hereafter. The air. although hot,
Is not bad, however. for 1t comes from
the surface through blowers and other
appliances, and simply gets heated by
the naturally increased temperature
of that depth in the bowels Of the
earth, aided doubtless by local causes,
such as the heat created BY decom-
posing sulphurets In the vein, etc.
