| struck upon entering it with the air of COM
| fort and cleanliness about everything, ana
could easily imagine that he was IN a well
! furnished hotel rather than in 4 hospital eS-
| tablishcd for charitable purposes. The house
| is constructed in Swiss style, with attics and
wide porches surrounding it, and the conve-
nicnces within are equal TO its tasteful APP
pcarance without. We were shown through
! The building by Mr.. Hall, the steward, cl!a-
mcncin- at the office and ending at the store
J room. in which is every comfort suitable for
/ the sick, consisting of ordinary provisions,
preserves, wines, brGndieS, etc. There are
( AZ preScn: only about twenty patients in this
department, being very material decrease,
/ Is enc month ago the inmates numbered
forty or fifty. This fact is of itself 4 COM
meutary upon the effect Of the late fine wea-
I Their we have enjoyed, for soon after storm,
with the accompanying chilling blasts ard
sloppy streets, the catalogue OF applicants Tor
admission is always senSibly increased. The
female department is in Il new building OF
three stories, recently erected. The lower
story has been constructed especially for the
reception of demcuted persons whether Ia
boring under dciirium tremens, mania-potu,
or INSANITY caused By disease. We are in
( formed bv the County Physician that several
persons who had the dcliyium tremcnS have
heretofore been confined in the Jail, where it
was entirely impossible to give them proper
treatment; and in the new hospital, cells
have been fitted up for their especial accom-
mediation. In some Of them the walls and
floor are lined with buc&skin and mating,
under which there is padding OF moss scye-
raj inches thick, 50 that it is impossible for
a rav;ng maniac to iniure himself by falling
upon the floor, or attempting TO dash his
brains out against the sides OF the cell. The
doors, which are three inches il thickness,
are made perfectly secure by three immense
iron bars and ptilockS, which are attached
10 each The Windows are shut in with iron
grating. and the ceiling is double, with 4 foot
and I half OF dist between each floor, to pre-
vent the cries OF the lunatics being heard up
stairs. The second and third stories are in
striking contrast TO the lower one. The
rooms are really fitted up in an elegant man
ner for the reception OF sick women. They
are all clean, roomv and well ventilated and
furnished with every possible convenience.
From the windows there is 4 tine view Of
Virginia City and the surrounding country;
aud in front there are verandahS which make
4 fine promenade. The number of inmates
AT present is four, only. The outside of this
edifce is painted 4 dark brown color, and It
presents 4 hne appearance. Taken alto
ccthec, these buildings are Z credit TO the
county and 10 community as newly eStab
liShed as ours. The grounds, which COM
prise over hundred acres, are being sur
rounded by substantial board fence-a much
needed REORGANIZATION.
Rock ISLAND G. & S. N. Co.-ThiS COM
pany's claim of three thousand feet, was To-
Gated early in 1850. Soon after the location
a tunnel was run upon the ledge some fifty
feet; at the end of this tunnel shaft was
sunk about eight feet, and some fine rock
was found. The claim lies back and north
of Rigly'S mill, in American Flat. The
company have commenced 4 tunnel below
the road, which is now in some go feet.
This tunnel is expected to strike the ledge
between 80 and Us feet below the surface.
They are doing very thorough work, and
are now driving it ahead very fast. They
are putting down 4 very substantial car track,
and are also making L sluice ten inches
square the whole length OF the tunnel, to
carry the water out-a very necessary pre-
caution, as they will find an abundance when
they get to the ledge, and most likely will
find plenty OF it before they get there.
\ CURIocS TuEFT.-A few weeks since
the blacksmith shop of Latson & Branuan,
contractors, On L street, Virginia, was bur-
giariously entered and robbed of all its con-
TENS, Including an anvil, wise, picks,
Shuyels, cr0wJarS, etc. After a prolonged
search, Mr.. LIcSOu succeeded III finding the
missing property in u blacksmith's shop,
lust set mp by a man named L. Sche!i, a;
American Fiat. The property was reclaimed
ON i search warrant, and SchCll had an cX-
animation yesterday afternoon before Judge
leconey. After 4 pgotractcd examination,
the Court decided 20 hold the accused for
trial in the sum Of $500.
SNow-A slight fall of snow last night,
barely sufficient to cover the ground, gives
the country hue o! winter, although the
weather has not Increased much in cold.
The air Is, however, clearer and seems more
in conSonarce with the season, than the
mild, warm, sImmerlike weather we have
had for weeks past. 1t is hoped and be-
lievcd, also, that the change in the weather
will be beneficial to the health Of the conf
munity. 1t is an agreeable change at all
events, in that it has had the effect of LAYING
the dust, which, for days past, has filed the
air, and rendered travelling most disagree
able.
The WHITMAN MINE.-Quite an excite
ment has been caused by recent rich results
from the Whitman mine in Indian Springs
District, and stock has advanced to high
figure. We hear of sales yesterday as high
as $500 per foot, the purchasers being par
tics fully posted as to the real value of the
mine. We understand that n mill OF the
49,, h., orao.nl bo r,,n,,tb
of the mine. Its location is such as to give
it superior working advantages to any that
we know or have heard described in the ter
ritory.
BURNING Moscow AND New ORLEANS
The Burning Moscow workmen, to their own
establishment apparently, poked big hole,
last night, into the upper shaft Of the New
Orleans mine adjoining. The establishment
was mutual, but the invaders returned to their
own quarters, and matters went well again
We are not aware whether any legal or other
result will ensue. The companies are not in
litigation with each other.
ARRIvALs.-Al day long, our street has
been crowded with feet of transmontane
''sehooners," just arrived from their weary,
toilsome journey over the Slerras. Their
time from Sacramento to this place has been
from fourteen 10 sixteen days. The travel
and transportation over the mountains during
the next few months, will be unprecedently
heavy.
STRUCK Ir.-The Original Hawkeye Com
pany have struck their ledge, and as con-
sequence, the "feet" are being much sought
f,r o4farinr- saveDty and eighty dbl |
lars per foot for the Original, and one hun
dred for No. l. We were shown some very
fne rock from the claim this morning.
