the mines of Gold Hill and Virginia
The dumps are full and the roads so BAG
that there is no prospect Of relief fol
days to come. Nearly all the miner:
and carpenters have stopped work.
There are a few teams yet employed in
hauling quartz, but the roads are so bad
that but little can be done. Many o.
the mills in Gold Canon, and some on
the Carson and AZ Washoe, have been
compelled to shut down for want of ore.
During the early part Of the winter,
people complained in consequence of the
dry weather, and now the hopes of all
are that the storms may cease. We
certainly have had enough for one sea-
son and a few months Of fair weather
would be most acceptable to the people
Of Nevada.
No SrAeEs.-Mr. Gray, the Agent Of
the Pioneer and Overland Stage Co.'S,
informed US this morning that he had
just received a telegram from Cisco tina,
no stages had yet arrived. Efforts are
being made to open the Railroad from
Alta to Cisco, but as yet nothing is
known of their success. The latest
news of the last stage which leh Vir-
giuia, was, that il was showed in at n
point half way between Bonner Lake
and Cisco. 4 number Of men were
employed in shoveling out a road, but
no one can give any correct idea when
the road will be open. A great many
persons from the interior of the State
have c~ongregated in Virginia on their
way to California, and are unable to get
further in consequence Of there being
no mode of conveyance.
Nor So.-The local Of the Enterprise,
this morning, has a highly exaggerated
account about ''the mud in Gold Hill.
In this style: mud to the right, mud
to the lett, mud ahead, mud behind and
mud beneath" All Of which is as clear
as midland n id lie at that. There
is ten snow and ice and chuck-hole to
one mud. Meantime, let us make
faces at our n~eighbors, stick our
tongues at them, and make them feel as
bad as possible" Who cares, if you
40? Our dumps" are all full Of rich
ore, which is money in the bsnk-our
people are all like "Swimley's board
ers," happy and content; u teams are
at rest aud growing fat; and now hon
est, how are you folks over the hilE
What are your tongues hanging out for!
HAxxER's COLLAR GALL OINTMENT,
wi,ney's Collie Medicine and Hammers
Essence Gamaica Ginger, again appear
in our advertising columns this after
noon. Mr.. Hammer has sold out to
King l. Co., but will still have charge
of the preparation of the articles. We
have been informed by many who have
tried the medicines, that they are no
humbug, and are steadily increasing in
favor. The druggists, teamsters and
veterinarians all pronounce them articles
Of real merit, and we recommend their
use to those who have never tried them.

GOLD HILL PRoPER.-The mines of
Gold Hill Proper, seem to yield vast
quantities of ore from the surface works
and vet there is but little impression
made on the ledge, for the reason that
its width is so immense that q foot in
depth and 200 feet length Of the ledge
will yield thousands Of tons. The ledge
in the Winters, Consolidated, Trench,
Bowers, Plato and q number Of others,
has a width Of more than 100 feet Of
pay ore.
IMPROVING TUE SrREEr.-The team
sters to-day are engaged in hauling
waste rock from the dump-piles, and
putting it on the road in Lower Gold
Hill. Men are engaged in digging small
bitches across the streets to keep the
water from running down in the road.
It is time that something was done with
this portion Of the street, rs it is always
in worse condition during bad weather
than any other portion Of the ron
Gold Hill to Dayton.
Rich ORr.-To-dsy we were shown
some ore from the Winters mine, in
Gold Hill Proper, which was decidedly
as rich as anything we have seen for a
long time. A great deal Of frst-class
ore is now being taken from the 24O
level Of this mine. The dump is full,
however, and the ore is being deposited
in openings under ground, in order to
hsye it ready to take out when the roads
are so it can be hauled of.
LONG vALLEY.-This morning we were
conversing with a gentlemen who had
Just arrived from Long Valley, Cslifor-
mia, who informed US that there was
more snow in the Valley, when he left,
than was ever seen at any one time De-
fore, by the Oldest inhabitants. In the
lower end of the Valley, where now
seldom falls, it is now a foot in depth,
while at the upper end it is still deeper.
ylasISIA.-A large number of persons
in Virginia, this morning, are engaged
in clearing the snow from the sidewalks
and from the roofs Of buildings. As
the now on 6re-proof buildings melts,
the cutters fill up, and the result IS a
great many buildings are leaking badly.
A little work v q great deal OF DAM
amge being done.
OyrRHAuLrxs.-The machinery in the
hosting works Of the Confidence mine
has been having q thorough overhauhng.
Everything will be in order and the
machinery will start up this evening or
Tomorrow. This is an excellent tune
TO make any repairs to hosting. WORKS
or mills, as it is about all that can De
done during the bad weather.
Tx DrxAsp.-This morning, in Vir-
pipia, fre-wood seemed to,be in great de-
msnd. The Chinese wood-merchants
are having q rich harvest. Persons are
ont and engage every Jsck-load before
new get into the main part Of the city.
Jobn is smart enough to put on the tar
IN in order to make up for losses sus-
tanned when wood was cheap.
BREAK DowS.-The Dayton Stage
yesterday, we understand, broke down.
between Dayton and Gold Hill. An
other vehicle was procured and inc
regular trip made, but the stage aa
not arrive in Virginia until nsa two
o'clock.
