Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1871-10-31

Island was formerly a noted claim,
and bids fair to become 80 again, a
we'll as the Empress and other mine.
in that section OF the Comstock.
READ uIs.-We have been Informed
by Messrs. Banner Brothers, the well
known clothing merchants Of Virginia
City, that owing TO a very important
change to be made In their firm on
January 1st, 1872, they are compelled
to realize a large sum Of money out Of
their stock Of clothing before that date
We shall be sorry to lose any member
Of this popular house, as 1t has done
this community o vast amount OF sub
stantial good. Its great onslaught on
high prices ut q time when our people
were grooming under the heavy ex.
pense Of wearing apparel will always
Be remembered, and the immense pat
ronage which this action secured fol
them has been well and richly de-
served. At present they offer their
immense stock Of clothing at really
sacriflcial prices, for sell they must,
no matter whether they make or lose
money by the operation. Every man
who desires good, strong and stylish
clothing for o mere song, had better
make an immediate demand on Banner
Brothers, corner Of G and Taylor
streets, Virginia.
SIDEWALK GRADE.-It Is to be hoped
that In the reconstruction OF the side.
walks along South c street, Virginia,
destroyed by the great fire, q regular
grade will be agreed upon and adopted,
with no COMPOUNDED steps or offsets for
people to stumble over. The indi-
vldual who creates such dlsagreeable
impedlment In front Of his store or
place of business will merit, and be
sure to receive, the frequent curses
of unfortunate receivers Of bruised
shins or lame toes. Such things are
also highly detrimental to the moral
and religious tone Of the people, tor
no man with any sort Of spunk at all
will hesitate to swear right profanely
when he. trips and tumbles over an
awkward step or Offset In tho side
walk, even though he were returning
from church or q funeral. Let tho
sidewalk on both sides of the street be
constructed on a regular grade. The
street inspector should see that this is
done.
THE NARRows.-An evident Down
Easter, who arrived at Gold Hill yes
terday, took = walk down the canyon
As far as the DEVILS Gate, looking at
the mills and mining works. Telling
about It this morning at breakfast
table he said "Gold Hill isn't a
very wide town, but its mighty long
for the size Of It and golfred noisy at
the lower end. I follered down the
gulch lookin' for the last Of 1t, till l
come ter the narrers, and then I got
discouraged and come back"
PERsoSAL.-Mr. Bean, Of the firm
Of Bean & Co., advertising agents In
San Francisco, called at the NEWS
office this morning. He u over here
on a briof visit on business. He visit
ed the hoisting-works Of the Yellow
Jacket. Crown Point, etc., and ex-
pressed himself astonished, not only
at the immensity Of the machinery,
etc, but also ut the extraordinary
lengtA OF Gold Hill and Virginia-
both combined being about four miles
long.
EARRING Losr.-A ladies' gold ear
ring was lost last evening between the
Emerson restaurant and tho Methodist

to 1t. 1t"
BonERs.-The two small boilers
heretofore in use at the Crown Point
holsting works, which have been re-
moved to give place to larger ones,
are to be taken to the Brunswick mill,
