,hs snes, cabinets on the coast. We shall
no, a,temp, to give any description of the
many curiosities il contains, but will SIM
ply say tina, in it can be seen some Of the
richest ore ever taken from the Comstock
ledge. also rich ore from Reese River,
Humboldt, Desert, Columbus, Excelsior,
and all Of the mines on the coast. There
are specimens sent from Desert district
BY George Lameroux, that resemble the
cinders taken from q blacksmith's forge.
Blu. the greatest curiosity is a large slab
Of chrys,alized sal soda, which looks so
much like some Of u chrystalized quartz
that it is impossible TO discern the differ
ence; and on top Of this slab is a mouse.
thar had become mired down when it was
in a soft state. and it, too. has become sal
soda. There the little fellow sits, just as
natural as natural as a mouse ever did,
but. like Lots wife, we guess it must have
looked back for something, and met with
a similar fate. There are a great number
Of splendid cabinets in Virginia; IN fact,
we doubt if there is another city in the
world that will equal it in this respect.
The Public Schools are getting up cabi-
nets for the benefit Of the scholars. and we
solici, for them donations from those who
have anything to contribute.
A NOBLE Acr.-A few days since there
was another display Of the generosity Of
the employees of the Yellow Jacket mine.
We have known of several whole-souled
donations OF the boys, but none so well
calculated to win the esteem Of every good
citizen in the community as the last.
Some time since. o man by the name OF
J. d. Mcdonald. one Of the employees in
the Yellow Jacket mine, met with IN &C
ciden, by which he 90. a leg broken. and
since which time he has been confined to
his bed, and unable to earn anything tor
himself or his family. The boys in the
Yellow Jacket mine are ever ready to lend
a helping hand to any one in distress or
need. they raised a subscription among
themselves Of 1925 and put it in MIR. Nc
Donald's hand. This was not an act thai
sen, a thrill Of joy to the hearto McDon-
aid alone, bu, it makes every good citizen
in Gold Hill feel proud to know that the
great number Of men that are employed IN
our mines are not only men that are in
dustrious, but they are men who have q
nobleuess OF heart that Is no where else to
be found. May this generous donation OF
the Yellow Jacket employees be like the
bread cast upon the waters. Long may
the Yellow JACKIE, boys wave. is our sim
cere wish.
AROUND AMoSo THE MINEs.-Yester-
day afternoon we took a round among
the mines in Gold Hill, to see what was
going on. We found everything moving
along as usual, without any material
change since our last visit. The only
change we saw was that made in the sur
face mines on the grounds Of the Console
dated, and in another place the ground
has been cut down to almost a grade with
the street below the dumps. We could
no, help thinking, while we were taking
an observation of the immense opening
that a few thousand tons made. what an
awful cavity there must be down below,
for hundreds Of thousands OF tons have
been taken out since the mines have been
opened. We found the dumps all filled
with ore. owing, we presume, TO the fact
that the horrible condition Of the roads
will not admit Of It's being hauled away.
BENEFIT enosice huge bills out for
Amanda Lee benefit, and we also notice
tina. all the talent in Virginia has been Sc
cured. We suppose they have volun-
teered, for Amanda is u favorits with
them, as well as with the public, and no
doubt but the entertainment will be the
best ever given in Virginia City. So,
Gold Hill boys turn out and give Amanda
a rousinp benefit, for she is certainly wor-
thy Of II. Remember II Is 'o-n'gnt'
