Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-01-18

No'uiuS OF any great local
interest transpired yesterday. Fortu-
nately there were no fights, broils, muir
derers or serious accidents. Every one
pursued the even tenor OF his way with
out molesting his neighbor, or giving o
pretext for an item. The District Court
was not in session yesterday, nor the
Board of County Commissioners. The
Grand Jury continues its investigations
into the crimes committed as we'll as the
general condition Of the county. but Of
what that body is doing nothing can
properly be known until the report is
presented to the District Court. Attor-
neys are busily engaged preparing them
selves for the fierce intellectual combats
some to take place in open Court. Ply
sicians are going through the routine Of
their professional duties. The ''tiger"
occupies his native jungle, defantly
awaiting the approach of the common
enemy, the public. In the Justices
Court some civil business OF no great
moment engaged attention yesterday.
The miners are steadily and courage
ously at work prospecting, sinking.
drifting and developing their several
mines. Last, though not least, our re-
porter laments the paucity of interesting
local matter. But ''sich is life." We
| are content. l ...'t' r..I FrN
BUSINESS AND IMpRovEMENrs.-Busi-
ness is not particularly brisk at present,
though all are confident of driving bust
ness in the near future. improvements
continue in all parts of the town, show
ing the confidence felt in the permanency
of mines in this district We await the
building Of railroads connecting our town
with the great continental railroad, when
the resources which now lie hidden in
the bowels of the earth will be brought
to the surface, to add to the wealth of
the world. r. ,, -....-..
FIRE ALARM.--Yesterday morning be-
tween 8 and 0 o'clock fire alarm was
sounded, and Immediately firemen and
other citizens rushed to the rescue 1t
was in the lower part of the city, and
although it was quickly squelched, it
should serve to remind US Of the danger
which is ever present. The firemen
turned out promptly, showing the alacri-
ty with which they respond in time OF
emergency.
CAPT. BAKER.-This gentleman, who
was so severely injured on Wednesday
that his life was dispaired Of, yesterday
had his left leg amputated just above the
knee. The operation was performed by
Drs. Deal and Philson He was doing
as well when last heard from as could
be expected, considering the severity OF
his injuries and the trying ordeal through
which he had just passed.
AT THE Hosp1rAL. visited this
institution yesterday, aud found it in
good condition. Mr.. Blakesly, the
tsamster who fell from wagon on
Thursday, is among the inmates. He is
quite easy, considering the nature Of bis
injuries, and is receiving good medical
and other attention. None Of the pa
tients are in dangerous condition. .,.f
! GEo. McKEAS.--By Premature e1plo-
sion on Wednesday last this unfortunate
young man was almost ruined, and il
was feared that his injuries would result,
in the loss OF one or both eyes and his
right arm. 1t appears now, however,
that hopes are entertained Of saving his
sight and also OF restoring his arm.
DRYING UP.-The few weeks of gen.
orally clear weather has had the effect to
improve the streets of the town very
materially. The mud is fast drying up,
so that now vehicles and pedestrians can
get along rather comfortably. The roads
in the interior are improving, though
tn ey are still quite heavy.
SHOOTING IN THE STREETs.-A few
nights ago young man, whose name
We purposely omit, was arrested fol-
dischargins firearms in the streets. He
was very sorry for it, but he had to pay
n fine of 81 and costs. This should be q
warning to others.
