Rich SPEcIMEN.-We were shown to-
day a very rich specimen of quartz, taken
from ledge recently discovered near the
boundary line of this State and California,
in which was to be seen with the naked
eve the pure gold, and on examining it
with a glass the rich metal can be seen
throughout the entire rock. We were
also shown the result of an assay Of few
pounds of rock from the same ledge,
which conclusively proves that the lead
must be a rich one, but of how great ex-
tent is not as vet known. Work is pro-
crossing rapidly on the same, and its
owners expect to realize fortune. If we
were the possessor OF few feet in it, we
should feel as rich as lord.

REcoRDER's Court, VIRGINIA. - The
following business was transacted before
His Honor, Judge Davenport, this morn
ing: John Thompson, arrested by officer
Keepery, on complaint and warrant, was
discharged upon payment of costs. Thos.
Thompson, arrested by officer keepery, on
complaint and warrant, was discharged
upon payment of all costs. P. Cunning
ham. arrested BY officer Higbee for dis
rurbing the peace, was fined $40, and in
default of payment, will be furnished
board and lodging at the city's expense
or 90 days.
CIsTBRN.-We notice that portion of
the covering of the cistern at the corner
of Smith and c streets has been torn of,
causing dangerous place, and by which
a valuable animal might be rendered
worthless, or perhaps some accident of q
more serious nature occur. The matter
should be attended to at once, and the !
cistern repaired, which, perhaps, will be
the saving Of great expense to the city Tor
any damage which might be the result OF
negligence in regard to the matter.
DANeERous.-The sidewalk near Ma |
CURES Opera House, in Virginia, is in |
rather dangerous condition, and if not
repaired soon we may expect to hear Of
broken skull or fractured limb ere long |
but we see that it has been noticed by
some one, who took the precaution to re-
move few planks so that no one could
cross it. We hope that the damage will
be Immediately repaired, as money is too
scarce these times to pay any unnecessary
doctor bills.
PACK TRAIS.-A pack train, consisting
of about twenty-five animals, laden with
various kinds of supplies left Virginia to-
day, en- route for Reese River. The roads
must be almost impossible in that direc-
ZION, and the only method Of freighting, |
practicable at present, is that of packing, |
which must not only be quite slow, but |
rather expensive, still the good people OF
Reese must have supplies, so good luck to
the pack traiu.
Cool Washoe weather seems to be
very changeable, as during the past few
DAYS we have had rain storm, snow
storm. one very pleasant day, while this
morning was cold and windy, and over
coats and muhers were in good demand
but the wind and cold will doubtless nave
a good effect in drying up the mud ana
;nnroying the condition Of the streets.
So we can not consider this one of the
winds that elbows nobody any gooo.
Held TO AxswER.-William Reynolds
accused of stabbing the man known oy
the sobriuuet of Scotty, few days SINCE,

tine sum of $500 to answer to the charge

lowing business was transacted before
