Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-05-30

The STATE CAPITAL-M Mr.. Picco!te
the publisher OF the Sutro Independent
YVES in this city a short time las: week
| He thus writes: IS Carson City is very
pretty place. It's streets run from north
10 south and east to west, in nearly q
! direc; line. The shade trees which
abound give it an air of neatness and
| comfo,: otherwise unattaiuab,e. Its
| general appearance is rot unlike that OF
, an old fashioned New England town.
| Situated in Carson Valley, the foothills
OF TIE Sierra Nevsdes enclosing it as
| though i: were the pi. OF An amphithea-
ter, the beauty and desirabiii,y of its site
is second only to tina. Of Su:ro. II being
the capital Of the State OF Nevada, its
future is assured: but its progress will
be slow and gradual, and will depend
more especially upon the development
of the agricultural resources of the sur
rounding country. The neighborins
hills are said to contain precious metals,
and three or four companies (including
the North Carson and the Heuston) are
at work, vigorously prosecuting explora-
tons which, it is thought, will prove
very remunerative, and that at no dis
tant day
RoBB1NG A PRINTER The Gold Hill
News of last evening says: " 1t may be
safely alleged that times are getting
pretty hard with the petty thieves of
of Virginia City. Yesterday between II
and o'clock one of these light fingered
gentlemen entered room on Washington
street. occupied by two printers, and
surreptitiously and feloniousIy distracted
therefrom the sum of 81 in silver and a
pair of breeches. Such thing was
never heard of before. A printer with
81 in silver on Sunday morning is some
thing new. Such an instance is not re-
corded either in sacred or profane his
tory. The trunk from which the silver
WIS taken also contained $50 in gold and
$500 worth Of mining stock. The gold
had been thrown in carelessly, and by
accident had slipped under the tray or
false bottom of the trunk, and SO was
not found. The mining stock probably
WAS considered dangerous property to
tackle, and was not disturbed
In TowN.-R. II. Dasget. Clerk of the
United States District and Circuit Courts,
Superintendent Of the Ell Dorado Coal
Mining Company, ETC., was in town yes
terday. He was looking rs masculine
and robust as ever. A short time since
Mr. Dageett was asked to write the Me-
mortal Decoration poem to be read on
the occasion of the decoration of the
soldiers graves in Virginia City. He
complied with the request and has writ
ten his poem in hexameters-and run 1t
all up in one paragraph. Poetry, he
says, truly, does not consist in making
lines and prefixing capital letters to the
beginning of each line. So he says that
any one finding his poetry has get to dig
it out.
THE Mexican War Veterans met
last evening, A. d. Treadway in the
chair and James Hunt Secretary. A
letter was read from Leland Stanford
stating that he would convey free all
Mexican Veterans from Reno to Og-
den who presented themselves with
the proper credentials, and a resOlu-
ton of thanks was rendered to the
Governor. The Veterans accepted in
vitaiions to turn out to-day and on the
Fourth. The question of procuring
flag was left TO the committee APP
pointed for that purpose. Judge Pat
terson reported funds in his hands
to $50 80. The Veterans
ad iourned to meet subject to the call
Of the chairman.
Harry Norton, Of the
silver City Mining Reporter, who was
to appear before the Uni
led States Grand Jury in this city
failed to put in an ap-
pearance. We understand that he
left for San Francisco several days
ago and that he yesterday telegraphed
to Judge Hillyer stating his inability
10 be here. It will be remembered
that Norton made some charges in his
paper duplicating Frank Kenyon of
The Lyon County Times and certain
employees of the Mint. The Grand
Jury in their report censure Norton.
No MORE SUNDAY THEATRICALs IN CAR
,ox.-It will be seen by reference to the
proceedings of the Board af Trustees,
held last evening. that an ordinance was
passed prohibiting al Sunday theatrical
ind circus performances hereafter under
! penalty OF $500 for each infraction |
hereof.
