GRAND Cor FIzzLS.-What was ap-

.,.n,,v intended by the entire Demoe-
rocv of Storey county as a grand ratih-
%ca,;op meeting in honor Of the Seymour
srd blair nomination on Saturday even
inc in front of Doyle & Goodman's
a.I,on. G street, Virginia, ended in the
~confoundeest izzle we have heard or
Known of for many a long day. II was
more demorslizing than the third-class
Lash Of the old Miners Restaurant,
San Francisco, ut a bit a hatfull.
Rockets and other fzzling combustibles
were used to attract a crowd but all to
no purpose. A few Democrats who
could not raise money enough for a pit
ticket at the theater or a bottle of rot
gut to drown their sorrow in, gathered
desperately around the stand, and
listened blindly to the spoutings Of the
broken down political hacks on the
stand. Old Pitzer was the chief. He
tried his prettiest to talk hopefully to
the awkward little squad before him and
make them think there was u splendid
chance for Seymour and Blair to beat
Grant and Colfax by two or three mill
ion majority, but it was no use. He
couldn't even raise some enthusiasm
at all. Once in q while he would stop
for the applause to come in, but nary
applause was given, so Pitt would hem,
spit, take a drink and 60 on as before.
Hank Mitchell succeeded no better. A
sad omen overshadowed them before the
meeting commenced, as somehow when
they went to string a strip Of cloth
across the street with "Seymour and
Blair" inscribed upon it, being unable
to read, they contrived to get the thing
upside down so that it read backwards
"Rialb Ruomyes." Rue EN- YES, that's
so. II you don't rue that terrible weak
nomination before next fall, we are
mistaken, that's all. Your only safety
is in Grant and Colfax.

TWEEN A JEW n A CHINANAS IL
BLOOD !! IAGo, BLooD.-About 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon a Hebrew second
hand clothing reuovater got into n terri
BILE fight with a Chinaman stopping
next door, on south G street, Virginia,
not far from DR.. Hop Locks office. The
fight started from u trivial cause, we
understand, but it was jolly while it
lasted. They battled up and down the
sidewalk for the distance Of about two
hundred yards, and fought seventeen
rounds in two minutes and eleven Sec
onds. Round first commenced with,
"Take dat, you tam China rice-eatin'
son q b-h," which was quickly coun-
tered with, "Ah I yes Goddam Jew,
you tinkee me Jeezyclysts, hey -? you
takee dat" and some mighty wild pas
SEES were made around each others era
NUNS. The Hebrew Sullivan, snd Chi
nese Heenan waltzed and schottisched
about each other hitting anything but
scientific blows. Up to the tenth round
neither party got q scratch, but from
that time till the close the Chinaman's
long finger nails played sad havoc with
the Hebrew cou~ntenance, and scraps Of
Jew skin were Clipped off and few into
the street at every lick. The long tail
of the Chinaman stuck out from the
back Of his head like o skillet handle
with furious rage. Round seventeenth
and last-Jew much winded and bloody,
end Of bugle being circumcised by dex-
ferrous slash Of Pagan thumb nail.
Chinaman more rampant than ever.
Three other clothing fxers interfered
and fight was ended. Chinaman went
or down street with tail erect so that
he couldn't get his hat on. No arrests.
Cabbage leaves and collodion for one.
SIERRA NEVADA MIyE.-A large body
Of excellent ore has recently been de-
veloped in surface workings Of the
Sierra Nevada mine, by means Of a tun-
mel run Just below the Geiger Grade.
1, is estimated to yield from ten to thir-
" dollars per ton, as free gold is quite
plentifully visible in it. II will be
worked in the new mill Of the company,
which Superintendent Bob Apple in-
forms US will be completed and put in
operation about the 10th of next month
The engine for the mill is the same for
merly used at the Granite mill, Gold
Hill, but the stamps, batteries, and all
other machinery, are new, and from the
Nevada Foundry, Silver City. The mill
is in the same building as the hosting
works Of the mines, and the ore can be
run directly into it from the tunnel-a
very economical arrangement. A diVi-
dend to the stockholders Of the Sierra
Nevada mine would make their eyes
stick out, yet stranger things than that
have happened.
SPLENDID MARKERs.-We were shown
yesterday a pair of magnificent markers
made by Miss Lizzie Williams and to be
presented by her to Nevada Hook and
Ladder Company No. /, Of Virginia.
They are of the usual size, made oil
heavy blue and pink silk, richly 0 r
dered with silver bullion fringe. Inc
cen,erpiece is q freman's hat-shield or
front, bearing the figure l, with the
name NEVADA arranged in q semi-cireie
about it. Projecting from behind TINS
shield, are hook aud ladder crossed to-
ge,her With other significant emblems'
all executed in gilt, and done at the
shop Of J. C. Wilcox & Co. The poles
are very neatly made, and surmounted
by the usual style of gilded spear head.
We have seldom seen so fine q pair OF
markers, and the workmanship reflects
great credit on the ability Of Miss Will
liams. They cost her ninety-ive dol
lars, and will doubtless DO esteemed
highly as a present by the Company.
UNION MISE.-The Union Mining Com
pany have commenced q large shaft
intended for three compartments-north
Of and in n line with the shafts of the
Ophir and United States Companies.
In early days this company ran two tun-
nels Of considerable length-the longest
being 10 q distance of nearly 1000 feet
to the westward into the hill in search
OF their lead, running over it, as is now
believed, for at that time it was not
known that the pitch Of the Comstock
was eastward. Now they intend going
straight down for it. This claim is next
north of the Ophir on the ConstocK
lead.
LARGE BusISEss.-Few persons are
aware Of the immense number of sewing
