SANITARY FUND.

The Virginia Union of this morning is unjust to
the larger mining corporations on the Comstoek
lead. The offices OF these Companies are mostly
in San francisco, and the managing agents here
have no power, without consultation, to subscribe
one dollar for them. Il is sufficient to say that
each of the officers OF Companies here have seut
for the requisite authority, to enable them to
subscribe literally, and the hands employed in
each mine, have generously contributed to-day.
An additional $500 has been donated to-day in
Gold Hill, making the amount S7,052. Dayton
and Silver City each have made their amounts up
to s., 600. and thus far we have SIS 00O-equal in
currency to $4,000 Pretty good weather for
-four, and noble on the part of Storey and Lyon
