Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1871-07-12

yesterday morning, having Just arrived
from Pyramid Lake and the lower part
Of the rruckee, where he has been en-
gagged with others Of his tribe for the
last two months catching fish, n species
Of sucker, called the "Cuyo," abound
Ing In that locality. They drive them
up the river and into a sort OF dam,
where they take them with spears,
hooks or nets. Charley brought two
pony loads Of dried fish In with him to
the fandango. which he Is attending.
The Captain looks finely with his lace
freshly smeared all over from the point
ofhis chin to the top Of his classic fore
head with a shiny coat of red paint, and
n couple of streaks Of black and white
across each cheek from the corners Of
his mouth to his ears. The weather Is
too warm for him to appear in full
dignity, with his blue officer coat and
bright buttons on, but he has got a
couple Of brass cannon mounted OH the
front Of his lordly old plug hat. The
Captain reports everything lovely
throughout his jurisdiction, and thinks
the prospect for n good crop OF pine
nuts, fish and grasshoppers Is good.
Captain Charley, together with his
staff, will leave for Reno tonight or
tomorrow morning. at the close Of the
fandango, ell route for the Truckee,
where he will resume fishing opera
lions again as before.
The LIGHTNING CKLcULAToR.-Pro-
lessor Cromer's lecture Mt Piper's
Opera House, last evening, was not a
very gratifying success In point Of at
tendance, dry figures and p~roblemati-
cal achievements in that line not SEEM
ing to be much Of an attraction to our
population. One thing is certain, how
ever. all who were present last evening
got the full worth of their money and
more too, for they found the lecture
much more entertaining and truly i'll
terestiug than they expected. The Fro
lessor exhibited wonders In the way OF
arithmetlcal computations, DONG All
sorts of difficult sums with miraculous
readiness, both mentally and with ng'
ures. Yet he gave a perfect and easily
comprehensive rule for everything he
did. Claiming no special gilt at all In
The matter. All of his rules for his new
and most surprisingly easy style Q
figurins are contained in a book which
he sells at 90 per copy, and after hear
ING his lecture everybody eagerly pur'
chased the book. His system divest;
f,o,,res and intricate arithmetical sums,
frsctions. etc, OF all eir,terrors, and
nom this book even the most thick.
headed can learn to become Proncien!
and quick at figures. Determined,thal
the public shall have the benefit o.
hearing him, the Professor Will give q
TO- Iecture on G street, this evening,
and ON Friday and Saturday evenings
he will lecture In Gold Hill.
