Gas FAuuRr.-wo are sorry to say

NAb
that the gas works here In Gold Hill
promise to be a failure. They have
not resulted we'll as a regular thing;
In fact there has been no regularity
about 1t. Sometimes the gas was first
rate, and afforded just as fine q light as
could be asked for then something
would 90 wrong and poor gas, or none
at all, or too much was the result. The
natural consequence was that many
quit using It, as too unreliable, and the
collector this morning told US that the
company would probably suspend oPe-
ration shortly. Now, having used the
gas from the commencement In this OF
dee. we can speak well OF Its quality,
when properly attended to. but the
fact of It Is that 1t never has been,
either in the supply of material or reg
ulation, except when 1t was first start
ed, when It did very we'll for q while.
The plain truth of the matter Is that
the proprietors have too much OF more
Important business to attend to. n
no one seems to make the proper at
tentlon to the gas a speciality. If some
competent person owned the concern,
who would attend to 1t as 1t should be,
lnsuring perfect reliability, regularity
and excellence, people would not be
afraid to invest In the expense OF fix
lures. but would prefer using 1t to any
other light. It certainly has our pre-
ference. 1t could be furnished at a
little cheaper rate even, aud be made
All excellent paying Institution.
