They had another deluge OF water al
Virginia City and Gold Hill yesterday
afternoon. Bob Pi1ley. who WAS at Viz

very heavy. 1t seems they had nail
storm at Gold Hill. The News says that
Yesterday 5 storm was qui'e a. severe as
that of Saturday. although trlne
briefer. A terrific rain followed the
hail. and in 10 time river had taken
the place Of the principal thoroughlafe.
Large logs and heavy boards placed at
convenient angles TO divert the current
