Dayton.

a weakness with US to admire whatever, in
the course of human events, is worth the
while; and when we leave the barren hills
of Storey county, as we did last evening,
behind a span of the fastest nags in the
country, with that terrible wretch $50 the
good-lOoking ladies say Robert Graves,
of the Empire, with the moon above the
grade as smooth as one of Gillespie's
longest yarns-the dust as quiet as Bob
Corbett. and nature generally hushed all
that is possible; we then feel doubly
happy. and so we did feel last evening as
we rode down the Carpenter s. Birdsall
grade at a spanking pace en route for the
shire town of Lyon county-a DEPRESSION
if you please, Nj. Mrs. or Miss readers OF
the limited edition of the Gold Hill
News" Whenever two souls get to
hankering for the quicksilver operation,
and feel like beating together 1.-TWO years
later beating each other), we sincerely ad-
wise them to select Just such an evening as
was that of yesterday, and with a fine
team ride over the grade TO Dayton.
Winding along the mountain-side in tor.
tuous courses, the red lights flashing
through the darkness afar down the canon,
where numerous stamps make silver bars,
the flashing stars ~above-and yet nearer,
the sombre hill-tops of adjacent silver
lodes, with a constitutional Comstock
pitch, all combined make a Bohemian dry,
and to require quenching hence our ad-
vice to lovers to ride to Dayton just such
a night as was last. Now we, Of course,
started for Carson, but Graves, contrary
to our understanding, in thirty minutes
from Virginia landed our emaciated hulk
at Ben. Hazeltine's ranch, in Dayton,
where we were most fearfully wrought at
beholding the venerable, rosy, ineffaceable
countenance of our old friend Morse, sup
ported on the left flank by Rev. John Van
DeWater, on the "change Of base" by
one CASTOR, L. l.. D., a staunch and true
man-while Bill Denise, like an angel, as
he is, lowered in the locality, principally
near a barrel marked "Old Tom" (whether
referring to Tom Benton or Tom Williams,
we are not advised and all were indus
,riously aiding to restore Morse from a
state Of paralysis to his normal condition.
For a time it was no go, but when Morse
heard some one whisper that cit was
necessary to send for Goliath" {" Lima"
we mean,) he at once became conscious of
sublinary things, and called for gin and
bitters. We were then happy, and Hazel
tine was spared the cost Of an inquest.
To cap the climax, along come w. d.
Farrand, of the Ogden. and George Bevins,
of the Empire "a famous hunter, by the
way,) and then we learned of q dance, to
come off at
I DoYLE's HALL,
Where, less than an hour later, they were
tripping the fantastic toe" Dayton
has more good. Hooking, r~osy-cheeked,
plump, and winsome females in its grasp
than any ranch this side of Jordan; and
although. last night, our early flame was
cool to 40 degrees below, and we felt like
Hamilton when challenged by Burr, yet
We could, and did, enjoy several things
that were worthy of earnest attention.
Well, at the hall, upon repeated solicita-
ton Of Ned Dean, and nine other men,
oers of the Sons of Temperance, we were
seduced to a seat, where, looking through
the misty haze of nearly half a century,
We gazed upon as .joyial a crowd as ever
danced in Dayton. Alas! we were too
old to participate in the sport, but we
could gaze and dream of times when we
were in a pristine glory. Abrams, Payne
and Cooper, Of the Sentinel, were all there,
and your yirtuous reporter is compelled
to say that the Dayton prints" are a
good set Of boys. Mrs. Doyle, proprie-
tress of the hall, aided our steps to a COM
Portable seat, and a lunch later in the
morning was good to our famished soul.
Mrs. Doyle, we are your friend-may your
shadow increase with the cycle Of old
Times march.
THE OWN
Is about the same as usual, and Is really
one of the best in the State; but here let
US say one word: the Street Inspector of
Dayton should see to it that all stones
and "sich" are removed from the side
walks of that pious town, for in the 'sma'
we" hours it is nearly hell to run against
one of those articles Of domestic economy
and refrain from swearing. Ned Dean
did swear, we think.
QUARTZ MILLS.
The Carpenter & Birdsall mill, of twenty
stamps, is crushing Yellow Jacket ore,
with good results. The Dayton new mill,
of similar capacity, is at work on some
ore, and the old Dayton mill is reducing
CONSOLIDATED" ore. Rock Point mill, OF
sixty-three stamps, works about sixty
tons of Imperial ore daily. Lindauer &
Hirschman's mill is at work on ore of
Gold Hill proper, as is also the Illinois
mill and all alone the Golden Eagle is
crushing ore from Virginia, and from the
Savage mine. Gold Hill, thy deep and
fathomless pockets of wealth nearly sup
port the State. We are proud to call thee
ours.
BUSINESS.
DAYTON is doing first rate in the ordi-
nary line of business, and what with her
freighting. quartz mills, wood trade and
legal business, the town is far from dull.
POLITICS.
As ever, Union to the core, her people
acknowledge no fealty but to the United
States and God Almighty, and he who
obtains a regular nomination will carry
Lyon county. Dear Dayton, shall We
again visit thy streets, parallel with the
sparkling Carson: Bet yer life, we 60 TO
