THE MINERAL BELT In all countries
where valuable silver mines have been dis
covered and developed, they take the same
general course, and are found running
through similar formations, called mineral
belts. The mines of Chile, Peru and Mex
leo, on this continent, and those OF oaxohy
and Hungary, in the Old World, all CONFORM
to this general principle or law; we would
make particular mention OF the mines Ut
Freyberg, in SaXony, rs the general cnarac-
ter of the ores extracted there so nearly re-
semble ours in their composition. Now, the
point we wish to make is, that the mines Of
this Territory are no exception to the general
rule. Commencing at the most northcrly
point of development, on the Comstock Lode,
and tracing it throughout all the different
works to the southwark, through Gold Hill,
the fact is confirmed; and the conclusion
that should be drawn from it by our miners
and capitalists, is that they are throwing
money and labor away, who are seeking good
lodges off the line of the great mineral belt
of the country. We have been led to these
remarks, BY seeing so much work done In
places where its prosecutors ought to have
known that no permanent lode could have
been found.
JUDGE RoBINsON's COURT THIS MORNING.
James Cary was brought up, charged with
being drunk and disorderly; was fined so
and costs, and not being paid, was committed
to Jail. NJ. B. Eldridse, soldier by trade, be-
longing to Captain McLean's Company, out
fianked a whisky bottle last night, perhaps to
keep out the cold, but was so overcome BY the
~. ktho
oner of war, and on being introduced to His
Honor this morning, expressed great regret
at his unsuccessful strategy, promising to do
so no more, but to immediately repair to
headquarters, with which solemn promise he
was discharged. VIM. Spear was charged
with having a very severe tusSle with whlS-
kv-bottle, and notwithstanding he had faith
full dog, which was trying to guide him to his
home. it was found necessary to lock him up
in the calaboose; fined s. and discharged.
A New BRICK BLocX-Messrs. Maynard
& Flood, bankers, Gold Hill, are construct
ing handsome brick block adjoining their
banking house, one half of which is already
occupied by the large hardware establishment
of Eugene Bittner K Co. 1t will add greatly
to the appearance of that portion of Main
in Gold Hill to induce other capitalists to en-
ter more extensively into building up busi-
ness houses of bricks. There is also plenty
of room for improvement. Lots are reason
ably cheap on the main business thorough
fare, and fre-proof buildings could readily be
rented at fair rents. Who Will be next to
commence a brick block:
BALHY TEAM. - six horse team, load
ed heavily with furniture from across the
mountains, this morning had much difficulty
in ascending the steep grade Of Main Street
above the Eclipse stables. The wheel horses
were balkv, and of the meanest kind, at that,
but BY lashing, and thrashing, interlarded
with sundry explosives not at all refined to
ears polite-the lead and middle horses
hauled the load, with the whcelers, up the
hill at 4 snairs pace.
IApRovENENTs.-Avc very large number of
improvements are being made along the line
of b street, Virginia, and especially at the
locality of the late fire. No traces of which
are now visible. Building after building has
been erected throughout the district so late
" burned over-until 1t would be very diff
cult to convince a stranger that 1t was so
lately the scene of such wholesale dcrasta-
ton.
DESERVING OF CREDIT. - The excellent
condition in which the street in front Of the
Virginia CITY scales is kept reflects much
credit upon the public-spiritcd proprietors.
II the owners of the adjacent property would
follow their example, the street between this
place and Virginia would be an honor-in-
stead of a disgrace.
GAs.-The Gas Company advertise that
they will turn the gas on in the "street
mains" of Virginia on the 10th of November
next. # any man had prophesied three years
ago that Virginia and Gold Hill would have
advanced where they are to-day, he would
have been set down as a lunatic. All We lack
now is railroad communication with Califor-
MIA.
BooTs.-The Carson stage was later than
usual yesterday, being freighted down with
n pair of boots of huge dimensions and fear
full odor, which occupied the whole top of the
coach and rendered it so top heavy that the
driver had to proceed slowly and cautiously.
There was no mark on them, but an expert,
who smelt Of them, pronounced them Mark
Twain'S.
CONC NoRTHwARD.-Virgini appears to
have lately taken start to grow northward.
Several new buildings are going up in the
vicinity of Cedar Hill, on line with and
c streets. Some of these are frst-class and
very substantial structures.
CIsrERSs.-Five new cisternS are now in
course of construction in Virginia, the larg-
est of which is at the corner of B and Union
streets, and will contain 10000 gallons of
water. Wehn these are completed, We shall
have sixteen commsdious cisterns within the
city limits.
SToLES.-Yesterday afternoon, the Office
of Ross & Harvey, (Stock Brokers, B. street,
Virginia. was entered BY some light-6ngered
individual, and tin box containing lot Of
old papers stolen. The police are on their
track.
AUcT1oNs.-Large crowds gathered about
the auction stands on B and C streets, Viz
ginia, this morning. The bidding was very
lively, and the goods and stocks offered
brought good prices.
FUNERAL.-The funeral of DR.. n. B. Hub
bell took place at Virginia yesterday, with
Masonic honors. The funeral sermon was
delivered by Rev. Franklin Rising.
Ice formed in the shade at Virginia,
throughout the day yesterday, causing what
few stoves there were in town, to be well pat
ronized.
