Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1871-12-01

No CoAsrINo ON THE StpEwALKs.-
Complaints are made by residents Of
lower Gold Hill that the only good
sidewalk they have, that just below
the Gold Hill Quartz Mill, Is rendered
unsafe for use BY the practice Of boys
coasting down it on their sleds. Be
sides making 1t very smooth and slip
perry, persons are liable to be tripped
Off their feet by these COMPOUNDED sleds.
The sidewalk was made for the use Of
foot passengers, and ladies or gentle-
men should never be driven from it by
these rude boys. 1t was not intended
for coasting at all, and this dangerous
practice should be put q stop to forth
with. Town Marshal Harkin or any
other properly authorized officer should
arrest any boy found coasting on the
sidewalk anywhere in town, and we
hope to hear of this being done. A
fine or the calaboose would have a
very good effect. The Same remarks
will apply to the Virginia sidewalks,
particularly that along In front OF the
Chollar-Potosi office and works. Stop
those boys. There arc plenty OF bill
sides and other places for them to
coast without thus rendering danger
Gus the public sidewalks.
Coon SHoo1INa.-Some most excel
lent shots were made at the target
yesterday by members Of the Emmett
Guard, but not enough Of them to win
that much coveted medal. Private
Colgan hit nearest the centre Of the
"bIll's-eye," but Mahoney, Shea and
tho other crack shooters OF the com,
pany had ate too much turkey and
were not up to what was expected OF
them. We are pleased to state that
private Dan Ford hit the target. Pri-
vate Ned Dwyer did tho worst shoot
ing Of anybody on the ground. As to
that matter, he couldn't hit the side OF
Mount Davidson with q brickbat, at
twenty PAGES distance. He should
never attempt target shooting unlees
he desires to commit suicide.
CHARLEY PARKER.-The many &C
quaintances and friends Of the above
old resident and former newspaper re-
porter at Virginia and Gold Hill, will
regret to read the following from the

friend Charles A. Parker lies PROSTATE
from an attack of inflammatory rheu.
matism. If sympathy was Of any avail
we are sure he would not suffer long,
as few men In Eureka have more true
friends. than Charley. He was q little
better Yesterday, but not enough to
swear BY, though we believe he fire.
ouently exclaimS ~"damarat!" It Is
next to impossible for him to stir hand
or foot"
STREET CRossING.-A new block
crossing is being put In across Main
