GREAT WATER SCARCITY. Water
never was so scarce In Gold Hill as at
present. None can be afforded to
sprinkle the streets any more. The
Water Company Is partial to virginia
and allows no water to run to Gold
Hill. The wells are giving out and
the people wander in all directions
with buckets and pitchers thirstily
seeking for water. There Is not even
enough for drinking purposes, and
are obliged to drink whisky
and use lager to wash their faces In.
If there were seven such good men rs
saved Sodom here in Gold Hill, we
would set them to praying for rain.
