VIRGINIA CITY.
une year ago last July the scolor,' was first
raised In canon of the Rocky mountains: CAL

satisfy the widest dreame of the Adventurous

q ilch is fourteen miles in length and has given
employment to hundreds of men. Some are OF
me opinion that thses dggiugs-which are
mainly what are knawn as, surface" are nret,

riehesf mines have not yet been touched. Mean.
