| drill. Nelse stood OF the sidewalk on
c street, near Union, and enjoyed the
sport of Engine No. l throwing bilge
water $50 feet, TO his hearts content,
when suddenly the hose bursted right
opposite to him and a terrific stream
hit him right plump OH the chest. If
Nelse had fallen into n ttn-foot deep
reservoir he could hardly have sput-
tered and blowed worse or got a better
ducking. In fact, there was no starch
left in his shirt collar or bosom. He
was wet all over. But we won't tell
all, as he borrowed 4 coat, shirt, vest,
pants. and a new hat from us, to ena-
Bile himto reach home, where he started
in fifteen minutes after lie got dry
clothes on. He remarked to us, rs he
was about leaving, that his opinion Of
the tiremen's drill was not favora-
BILE, nor was the water used rs fresh rs
that of the Truckee river. He wanted
no more drill nor bilge water in his'n.
GOLD HILL LorTERY.-The remain
ing tickets in our home lottery are be-
ing closed out more rapidly than ever,
owing to the near approach of the day
Of drawing - tomorrow. 1t pre-
sents the best chance of winning Of
any lottery before the public. That it
will be squarely conducted, everybody
in Gold Hill knows, tor the managers
are some of our most responsible citi-
zenS, whom all are we'll aud hvorably
acquainted with. Recollect that there
are 80, 600 tickets ut 81 each, and 800
600, or two-thirdS of the whole
amount will be returned In the shape
Of prizes to ticket holders. There are
6l2 prizes in all, the largest being
5000 and the smallest $40. Those who
purchase ten tickets stand ten times as
good a chance Of winning as those who
only purchase one ticket, yet those
who purchase no ticket stand no chance
whatever.
WATER PRoJEcr.-Pinchower hay
ing totally declined all further nomi-
uations for office, has concentrated all
his energies upon his project OF intro
ducing water into Virginia and Gold
Hill. Yesterday he showed US 4 fine,
large map or diagram, drawn by HIM
self, showing how the thing is to be
done. He will bring water from both
Lake Tahoe and Washoe Lake, BY
means of syphons crossing the sum
mits lying between, and a branch OF
the Erie canal. His main reservoir
will be OH top OF Mount Davidson,
distributing pipes leading therefrom
to Virginia and Gold Hill, and, better
than all, he proposes q~uenching the
fires Of Tophet altogether by I big
stream Of water sent down an artesian
tube bored from the bottom Of the
Gould & Curry shaft, using the Sutro
tunnel as a blow-of hole for the
steam.
SANITARY PREcAuTIoN.-The present
"local" of the Carson Register, in yes
terday mornings issue of that paper,
announced to the palpitating public
that in case he could raise four bits
after paying for his breakfast, he should
| 90 out and luxuriate in 4 cleanse
in warm water In n OF Jake Muller's
baths" adding also: This kind OF a
bath is much needed In this commu-
nity." This %impecunious reporter no
doubt exercises a vast amount Of rigid
self-denial in thus recklessly expend-
ING or proposing to eXpend half n dol
lar in disinfecting his person, but he
doubtless sets himself up for 4 shining
example, and considers II a sort of self
martyrdom for the public good. That's
right, go In old toppy; mix a little
whisky with the water, and use Dutfy's
soap.
The HAzELMEyER TRourE.-Next
Wednesday evening Prof. Hazelmeycr,
with his wonderful troupe of trained
birds. white mice, ETC., will appear Mt
Piper's Opera House, under a short
engagement. Hazelmeyer Is one OF
the greatest magicians Of the age, and
those little birds and animals Of his
perform wonders in their line, or
rather out of their line, showing to a
very surprising degree how much the
smaller birds and animals Of creation
are capable of being taught. They
seem almost endowed with human
reason and intelligence. Everybody
will have TO see the H~azelmeyer troupe.
Just read the advertisement to-day in
another column.
