lice, got wind Of an intended duel be-
tween two Italians, and concluded 10
keep watch Of them. It seems an old
prudge had existed between them for a
long time, and instead Of being healed
by the lapse Of time it grew stronger.
Yesterday they met and had a few words,
when they decided TO take each a revolt
yer and q knife, and so out into the
hills and settle the matter. According
" thew both armed themselves as agreed
upop and started out. The officers were
made aware of what was going on by
An outsider, and started after them.
When they were stopped, they informed
the officers that they were going to
work this would not win. Both par
ties were promptly arrested and taken
to the Station House, when it was found
they had concealed weapons on them.
Both parties were put under bond Of
500 each for violating the law prohib-
iting the carrying Of concealed weapons.
They will have a hearing in the Recor-
der's Court to-day, when Judge Meagher
will deal out justice to each according
to his just deserts.
OPERA HoUsr.-On Saturday andSun-
day evenings, the Opera House was well
filed. Saturday night all the room
both sitting and standing was taken up.
The performances on both occasions
were excellent. Last night q new ac-
tress by the name of Miss DeMure, ap-
peared for the first time on q Nevada
stage. She is a very pretty girl and a
pleasant reader. This evening the play
Of 1.-THE Female Gambler and Estate
Secrets" will be produced. Both are
good, and will draw a good house.
wAsHox.-This morning we learned
from Judge Wallace, of Washoe City,
that the mills in that locality were still
idle, owing to the fact that there was
no ore on hand to keep them running. A
few loads of ore were hauled over in
the beginning of last week, but the last
storm made the roads impossible again.
It will be several days before they are
in fit condition for teaming, even if the
weather holds fair. At the present time
Washoe City is very dull, and business
of all kinds is at q stand-still.
BusrSEss-LIxE. - Gold Hill to-day
looks decidedly lively. The streets
since an early hour this morning, have
been full Of teams engaged in hauling
off ore to the mills in the Canon, and at
other points below. Nearly all the
dumps are full Of ore, so that teams are
not compelled to wait for rock. The
roads are becoming dry the greater por-
ton of the way down the Canon, and
from this time forward w may look for
better times in every brapch Of busineSs.
The WEAruER.-We feel like con-
graduating everybody on the fair pros
poets of fine weather. Last night it
was cloudy, and threatened more snow,
but il cleared away without a storm,
and to-day is decidedly one of the most
pleasant of the season. When heavy
clouds melt away into nothing, it is q
good indication of fair weather. \
few DAYS like to-day will dry up the
mud, making all the roads in good con-
dition.
WELLS, FARGO L Co.-The office OF
Wells, Fargo & Co., in Virginia, this
morning looked real business-like. The
large space in front Of the counter was
completely filed with all kinds of freight
from small packages of q pound in
weight TO huge boxes weighing several
hundred pounds. The Overland Stage
went out full of passengers some were
bound for Reese, some for Silver Bend
and Twin River, and some for the At
lantic States.
REcoRDER's CoURr, VIRGINIA. The
following cases came before His Honor,
Judge Neagher, for consideration to-
day: Frank Martin, arrested for dis
turbing the peace. A. Parisich, arrest
ed on a charge of carrying concealed
Steve Mittels, arrested for
carrying concealed weapons. George
Hurst, arrested for being drunk and dis
orderly.
MoyrAyA-BouyD.- This morning we
Jaw seven persons on Main street equip
ping themselves with all the necessary
outfit for a trip to Montana. They had
several pack animals, and were laying
in their supplies at the ~store..of Mercer&
Tucker. They will undoubtedly meet
with many hardships, and a great deal
Of snow. Joe Lahower was one Of them.
TrNBER.-There is a great scarcity OF
timber among the mines Of both Gold
Hill and Virginia. The roads, for more
than two months, have been in such
bad order that il has been impossible to
have timber brought in. In quite a
number of the mines they are compelled
to get along without timbering up the
ground where eIcayating is don
CLEANING UP.-During the late storms
the sidewalks on the east side Of Main
street, from Judge Halls Office to the
Postoffce, was overlooked by mud and
water, filling the space below the side
walk with slum. This morning parties
have taken up the planking of the side
walk and are removing the mud and
putting things to rights generally.
GRAprSG.-A number Of teams are
engaged this morning in hauling rock
and matchmaking Main street. The
street where it has been m~acadamized
is in excellent order. The mud in the
lower part Of town is drying up rapidly,
and a day or two will make the roads In
good order for tesming once more.
New HoUsE.-This morning we no.
.iced a large new building being put up
on B street, opposite the old works OF
the Savage Company. This is the hrst
new house we have seen in course OF
erection in Virginia for q long time,
and it sounded good to hear the CHATTER
of the carpenters hammer once more.
Excusrp.-A Gold Hitler who had
been summoned to serve on n jury in
Virginia city, was this morning excused
from serving. He told the court that
che considered that q juryman ought
70 have good common sense, and ne NOT
having any, he wished to DO let on 30
be got off.
