STAR GAzERs,-0wing to the extern
sive demonstrations in the meteoris
shower line of night before last, and our
notice of the same in yesterdays News,
numerous people in Gold Hill and Vir-
GINA sat up all last night looking anI-
iously for whatever celestial display
there might be in the matter. The
heavens, however, remained pertina-
ciously Iobscured all night with murky
clouds, and the anxious watchers OF
the heavens were greatly disappointed
in their expectations. We know Of one
literary chap in Virginia who hasn't seen
daylight or sunshine for over two weeks
on account Of these anxious star gazings.
He runs all night and sleeps all day.
He saw them night before last saw
them through glasses - not smoked
glasses, but old rye" glasses. The
more glasses he used, the more stars he
saw. He counted over three million of
EN-, besides some scattering ones which
went skirmishing about the Opera
House aud Sandy Baldwin's. The most
of 'em fell upwards, and he couldn't
tell where in hill they went to then.
He advises stockholders in them to sell
ont.

tive and extensive Notwithstanding in
stitutiou, situated near ~Franktown,
Washoe Valley, is now in full and COM
plete operation-that portion Of it de-

three DAYS ago. The wet crushing de-
partmeut has been in operation for some
moaths mast. The steam power, whieh
is amply sufficient in itself TO run tue
whole of the machinery, amounts IN the

part Of the year the entire mill Is run
by water power, furnished from a hne
mountain stream running near AT hand'

of much Importance TO the mining inter-
eats of the State, and its destruction by
fire was n loss severely felt, rs 1t Is the

dent in Gold Hill, were returning from
Virginia in q buggy last evening, their
team from some cause or other became
frightened shortly after passing the
Divide, and dashed down the road at a
terrific rate Of speed. In making the
short turn in the road nearly opposite
the Imperial dump, tho buggy was
thrown violently over, the horses break
ing loose from it and running down
town where they were stopped. The
ladies were picked up and taken to the
nearest house, and DR.. Hitler OF Virginia
promptly sent for. He WAS soon on
hand, and found neither of the ladies
very severely injured, although both
were considerably bruised, cut and
scratched. Mrs. Sporting sustained a
fracture of the right tibia, or larger shin
bone n few weeks however will make
that all right again. The ladies were
indeed fortunate in escaping without
more serious injuries. The buggy was
considerably damaged.
