Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1879-12-13

From the San Francisco Daily Es.
change Of yesterday is clipped the fol-
lowing:
Tho Gold Hill News has boon quite
angry Of late because We have declined
TO accept its authentic mining intelii'
esncs" n nevs. Now We have q case
In point:
II having been stated that the Justice
mine has been shut down until further
orders, we will state. upon the authority
Of the management, that the stoppsgs Is
merely for Q day OF two, In order to
make certain necessary repairs to the
boiler and other arrangements. Work
will be resumed q usual day after to-
morrow.-Gold HUI Ne,ns. December Oh.
VIRGINIA New. December 1.-THE
Justice Company publishes this evening
q n announcement Of the closing OF the
works OF the mine. Hereafter all work
will bs done through the Alta shaft.
The shutting down OF the Justice
works will be better for the stockholders.
but what IL .'the authority OF the man.
agsmsnt" worth a. . guarantee for the
correctness Of news2
A great deal. Nj. Exchanges. There Is
n o contradiction In the instances cited.
Both are correct, as you will learn when
you ascertain the difference between
shutting down mining works and shut
ting down mines.
The works at the Justice have been
shut down. bat the mine Is being oper-
stsd through the Alta shaft. After the
repairs were completed work Was re-
sumed a. usual and subsequently, the
works were shut down.
The Exchange makes another mistake
In the foregoing. The News 10 not
angry at any one who may decline to
accepts its information regarding the
minss. But those at the Bay or else
whore who refuse to accept 1t simply
because the reporters do not each
week 20 into the mines to report ON
them are simply foolish. Those who
descend to the lower levels find the state
msnts Of the News confirmed. The OH.
cial letters OF mining Superintendsnts.
q we'll o. their official statements, APP
pear in the News, and when the mines
are visited these letters and statements
are found to DO correct. It makes very
little difference to the News whether
these things are believed or not; but 1t
does make Q great difference with the
public; for the disoredit thrown upon
these letters and reports by those
who know nothing Of what they
are saying. frequently enables Designing
ones to rob the people OF their prop
erty. The reports Of the News are as
full and reliable a. they can DO made
and everything they contain is worthy
Of belief. II. therefore. anyone sees tit
to discredit them. the worst Is his own.
The only reason yet advanced for dis
orsditing them Is that official reports are
made rather than those from observa-
tons. It Ia not Q good reason, as has
been proved q thousand times, and as
may DO proved again today. There
certainly were no more reliable reports
from the mines when visiting days were
In existence. OF all the blaok, tapping
lies ever told concerning the mines,
those told then were the BLACKLIST. How
then 10 the unrsliablsness OF reports, ifit
exists. to be rsmsdied by opening the
mines to visitorsf
There Is much absurdity about the
position assumed BY some advocates OF
Whiting days. but nothing more absurd
than that their reservation will make the
information from the mines more rslia-
