GOLD HILL, STOREY COUNTY.
PREVIOUS to the year eighteen hundred and fifty-cight, but little was known of either this or any of the other cities and mining districts, which have since given to this county the pres- tige for precious metals that it has now acquired. The early settlers labored under every disadvantage that could possibly be connected with the development of a new and at that time almost unknown region. The topography and general appearance of the country was such as to discourage the most enthusiastic gold secker. Separated by the Sierras from a convenient market, with almost impassable trails over the mountains, and with no facilities for correspondence or receiving assistance from their friends in California, the prospects even at this early date must have been very alluring to induce men to make their abode in what was then a very unhospitable region.
In 1858, a party of prospectors, headed by Messrs. Kerby and Finney, discovered indications of both gold and silver bear- ing quartz in this locality. Being practical miners, they imme- diately commenced prospecting, and then laid the foundation for the development of mines which are now universally acknowl- edged to be the richest in the world. The first company formed was then (and is now) known as the " Pioneer Quartz Company." This company located several claims, erected an arastra, and commenced working a claim called the Moselle, a short distance east of the Devil's Gatc. Meeting with success, they extended their operations, making roads and other improvements to facili- tate the transportation of the rock from the tunnel to the works. The prospects became so flattering that a new company was formed, machinery erected, and the mill commenced crushing in 1860. (See notice of mills Devil's Gate District.)
Gold Hill, unlike her sister cities of the Territory, relies ex- clusively on the development of the richness of the minerals that encompass her, to build up the city, rather than to any prospec- tive speculations, whose riches are wrapt up in the mist of the

future. Having the richest as well as the best developed mines yet discovered, either in the territory or the world, and confi- dent that it only requires time to make still richer "strikes," she keeps marching on in the path of sure and substantial progress. Neighboring cities that have seen the hey-day of their prosperity, have good reason to look with envy on the "solid," steady and unfluctuating growth of Gold Hill. It is a noted fact, that the mines of this District are worked at less cost and with more suc- cess, than any other District in the Territory. One of the rea- sons rests in the fact that the mills are more convenient to the lodes ; and another may be that a large proportion of the mills are owned by residents, who are directly interested in seeing that they are conducted economically. During the past year build- ings have been put up that would be an ornament to an Eastern Metropolis. A "Town Hall" is being erected, opposite the Vesey Hotel, a portion of which is to be used for a Police Court and the transaction of official business, and the rear used for a Jail. The building is now in course of completion, and its estimated cost is $15,000. There are various other buildings, such as Maynard & Flood's fire proof block, the Odd Fellow's building, and nu- merous private dwellings, that relieve the eye from the bleakness of the surrounding hills, and displays the refined tastes of the citizens. A new hotel is about being erected, which promises to excel in appearance and grandeur anything of the sort yet at- tempted in the Territory. It is to be called the IMPERIAL. The association for its erection numbers amongst its Trustees some of the wealthiest as well as the most enterprising and public spir- ited men in the Territory. The President of the "Imperial " is Almarin B. Paul, Esq. It is a fact worthy of note, that on the first day's opening of the books, $30,000 of stock was subscribed for, and the remainder is now all taken. Work has already commenced on it, and when completed, it will be one of the "features " of the city. The city government deserves great credit for the public spirit they have displayed in all matters ap- pertaining to the health of her citizens and in the making of necessary improvements.
WATER WORKS.
During the past year the facilities for obtaining a constant supply of water have been greatly increased. Additional pipes
HODGE & WOOD, Wholesale Stationers, 418 & 420 Clay St., S. F ..

have been laid down, and other necessary improvements made, to keep pace with the rapidly increasing population. A new reser- voir has just been erected of enlarged capacities.
CHURCHES.
The various churches of the City are well attended and properly supported.
CALVARY PRESBYTERIAN, N. S .- Rev. Wm. Wirt Macomber, pastor; Simon Fraser, Edwin Caldwell, elders; W. D. Gray, Chas. B. Goodrich, L. H. Robinson, Thos. M. Barnes, Dr. Hereford, trustees. Services every Sabbath, at 11 o'clock A. M., and 73 P. M.
This Church was organized November Ist, 1863, with seven members and one elder. It has now 13 menbers in communion.
ST. JOHN'S PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL .- Rev. O. W. Whitaker, rector ; N. A. H. Ball, senior warden ; Wm. H. Dolman, junior warden ; Jno. B. Winters, J. C. Corey, J. W. Wright, Dr. Camp- bell, and J. O. Farrell, vestry men. Divine Service in Odd Fellows' Hall every Sunday at 3 o'clock P. M.
Sunday School of St. John's Church, held at 12 o'clock P. M.
Ass't Superintendent, N. A. H. Ball. Number of teachers, nine. Number of scholars, seventy-five.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH .- The rapidly increasing numbers of this denomination have rendered it necessary to have enlarged accommodations ; accordingly, a new Church is about being erected, which will be under the supervision and charge of Rev. Father O'Reilly, formerly of Marysville. The Catholics of Gold Hill have been fortunate in securing the services of such an emi- nent Divine and true Christian.
SCHOOLS.
The citizens have made excellent selections in their School Trustees. They are all men of intelligence and enterprise, and have a keen appreciation of the duties devolving on them as the guardians in whose actions rests the responsibility of providing facilities for the present and future education of the rapidly increasing youth of the City.
The Public Schools are divided into two departments, Primary and Intermediate. The Primary is under the supervision of Miss S. D. Mecham. It has fifty pupils. The building is fitted up in

the most approved style with cast-iron desks, and other modern improvements. Intermediate department is under the charge of Miss L. H. Crocker. It has forty scholars, who attend School ten months in the year.
School Trustees, L. H. Robinson, N. A. H. Ball, and H. C. Brown.
The proficiency of the pupils and the perfect order and disci- pline displayed in the government of the Schools, does credit to the judgment and abilities of the ladies having charge of the respective departments. There are several private schools here where pupils are taught the various educational branches neces- sary to a thorough education.

The subscribers would call the attention of the mining public to their Reducer and Amalgamator, anl also to their Separator for reducing and separating the mineral from Gold and Silver Ores. Manufactured and exhibited at the Vulcan Iron Works, Nos. 137 and 139 First street, San Francisco. These Machines secure to the Miner a more expeditious and perfect Reduction and Amalgamation, a less liability to accident and delay, and a greater amount of useful effect in proportion to the power employed to keep them in operation than any other machine now in use for producing similar results. This fac is attested to by their gener.il adoption and preference at all the principal Reduc- tion Works in Nevada Terrrory ; among which may be mentioned the Gould & Curry, Silver State Reduction Works, Phoenix Mill, San Francisco Mill, Davis & Barron Mill, Eastern Slope Mill, Pioneer Milt, (Beldtin & Gregory Mill, in Aurora, ) Rodgers & Grissin's Mill, L.

FOUNDRIES.
The rapid increase and continual demand for machinery, as well as the constant repair, necessary to keep the various mills in this District in working order, has given a great stimulus to this branch of trade.
PIONEER FOUNDRY .- This foundry, as its name indicates, was one of the first in the Territory. In 1863, the owner suffered a severe loss by having the whole of his foundry burned to the ground, with the loss of nearly all of the machinery. With characteristic energy he commenced and has now in full blast another foundry, which is creditable alike to himself and the Territory. The building, which is 126 by 30 feet, with a wing 40 by 50, is built of brick, with tin roof, and is now considered fire-proof. It has all the latest improvements for turning out all kinds of machinery. Attached to the foundry is a machine shop.
EMPIRE FOUNDRY .- This foundry has recently been built on the most approved plan, and has excellent facilities for the manu- facture of all kinds of machinery. Situated on the Divide, be- tween Virginia and Gold Hill, its location makes it easy of access for the surrounding mills. The proprietors, Messrs. Hubbard, McAdams & Maxon, have had a life-time experience in the busi- ness, and are all practical foundrymen and machinists.
Another foundry is being erected in Lower Gold Hill, by McCondy & Co.
NEWSPAPERS.
The Gold Hill (evening) " News " Lynch & Mundall prop'rs, was started in 1863, by its present proprietors. The ability and judgment displayed in its management has gained for it a repu- tation second to none in the Territory. It is noted for its plain, out-spoken discussion of every subject that comes within its notice, and is remarkable for its devotion to the Union. It contains daily a large amount of matter relating to the mines of the Territory-the laws of the Territory requiring that all assessment sales and other matters relating to the mines shall be published in the columns of the nearest paper-has given a pres- tige. and brought pecuniary patronage to the "News " which none of its cotemporaries enjoy ; it is, undoubtedly, the best pay- ing paper in the Territory. Its editorials are models of sound

judgment and good sense, and the local columns are characterized by wit, ability and a desire to keep its readers posted on every- thing that takes place within its sphere.
DAILY MORNING MESSAGE-was started on the 23d May, 1864, by Geo. W. Bloor, D. M. Sandidge and H. W. Johnson. The "Message" is issued daily. The experience of the publishers will enable them to give to their patrons a valuable paper. It has received very complimentary notices from its cotemporaries It contains all the current news of the day ; and, no doubt, will render itself a welcome visitor to every resident of Gold Hill and the Territory
