FIarraooY CIAY.-A few aay, AGO

FIRErRoor CLAy.-A few days ago
we took particular notice Of q quantity
OF whitish.bluo tough clay on board oil
an OF wagon passing down through
Gold Hill. On inquiry, We ascertained
that il was from the east wall Of the
Comstock in the Chollar-Potosi mine,
and was being hauled by Mr.. William
Garrad out to Mason Valley, Walker
River, where it was to BIO used at the
Bewley mine in smelling copper ore.
1t has been tried on a small scale and
found to be good material for use in the
manufacture of Gre-brick for smelling
furnaces. This load is to be used in a
more extended and decisive trial, and it
certainly is to be hoped that il may
prove entirely successful. The intense
degree Of heat required in smelling
either our copper, lead or silver ores
has heretofore proved II serious impede
ment, in the destruction of the furnace
lining, even when made OF the best
quality Of English friedrich; couss-
quently various materials have been
substituted and experimental upon
from time to time, with various degrees
Of success. The most satisfactory ma
terial Of which we have been cognizant
was a lot of the peculiar white calcare-
Gus deposit thrown out at the surface
by the we'll known Steamboat Springs.
This was tried at the Gslena Smelling
Works, Washoe Valley, some two years
ago, brick for the furnace lining being
made by mixing this material with a
peculiar clay found near Washoe Lake.
The experiment was thought 10 be a
successful one, but whether il proved
ultimately aud entirely su ccessful we
never learned.
PUr Up, OR Pass OVER THAT HoRS.
Young America Engine Company,
No. 2, Virginia, had better read a GER
tain very expressive and unmistakable
challenge from Monumental Engine
Company, No. 6, on the Divide. SKIS
boys honestly believe that they fairly |
won that big silver trumpet prize in the
tournament, Notwithstanding the deci-
sion Of the referees, and that No. 2 is
no more entitled to it than the nan in
the moon. They call now for q new
deal and q square game, asking nor CIV
ing no fayors. No 6 asks only q single
dash, same rs they did before, and will
not allow No. . more than that on any
pretense whatever. There are q vast
number Of our citizens who saw that
race and agree with SKIS boys in this
matter; therefore if Two's boys have
any +" sane in their craw" they will put
up the coin or pass over that horn i'm
msdiately. They can do nothing less
under the circumstances. Read the
challenge.
New DRAMATIC ArrRAcrroy.-To-
morrow evening new theatrical
troupe, known ~ Carriers Dramatic
Combination, will put in a first ap-
pearance at Piper's Opera House, with
Carrie Carter rs the bright, particular
star. This talonted company has just
arrived from the East per continental
railroad, and are new in this section,
although they have attained consider
able celebrity where they came from.
The entertainment tomorrow night
will be a frst.claSs one, consisting OF
"Lucrezia Borsia," followed by q very
pleasing iuterlude of song and dance,
ballads, ETC., and concluding with tho
side.splitting farce of Z" Our GAL" The
bill is u very good one, and We presume
the company is fully up to the mark.
We shall see and report according to
actual merits.
VSLocIPEpIASA.-A. D.. Geuders, the
young champion velocipedist Of San
Francisco, who won the four mile hea,
at tho great velocipedc tournament held
in the Mechanics Pavilion, April 18th,
made his appearance here last Saturday.
He talks very confident and even insin-
yates that he could beat Butch the
festive young Virginia champion. He
has dragged his coat tail past /" Butch Z"
several times the last day or two.
{" Butch f" observes him quietly out of ;
the corner of his eye, and in case he :
short a distance as n four mile heat a =
match might possibly be made between {
the parties. Fort Homestead would be .
q good place for the race. =
