cent. within two months. This is
Treasure City, where real estate in
crea,es in value every hour more than
years can accomplish for Any American
city east of the Rocky Mountains. Not
w~ithstanding the great depth of snow,
the severity Of the weather, scarcity OF
provisions and bodily comforts and the
great abundance Of all sorts Of hard
ships, the excitement does not abate in
the least, although owing to the impos-
sibility Of prospecting, there are no new
developments being made 1t present in
the way of new spots of rich pay ore.
Representatives from all the principal
cities and firms Of the East are arriving
daily. They say the excitement in New
York city is equal to that of the Cali
fornia gold discovery in 40. They are
more than ever asronished on arriving
here At the extent Of this district. Treas
ure City is and will continue to DO the
leading town-the Virginia Of White
Pine. This is indeed a rough country
on men not used to the dangers and
hardships Of severe winters in n wild
frontier country, but all who persist 10
coming will have to get along rs best
they may, and suffer through till next
spring, il they do not die of hardship
or exposure meanwhile"
CIsrEIx Cover SrRSSr NUISANCE -
The top Of the FIRE department cistern
on South c street, Virginia, just north
of the Wood & Goe cave, was renewed
last fall and fixed up in good style, but
the small movable cover or hatchway
was not. A few days ago somebody, by
direction Of the Chief Engineer, under
took TO FIX that cover properly, aud they
most certainly made u terrible job of it.
II stands directly in the middle OF the
street, and sticks up wonderfully. We
never saw y street cistern with u cupola
to il before. 1t should be either RACED
down to q level with the street, or II
lighthouse ought to be erected on it AS
a warning TO the numerous buses,
buggies, aud other vehicles passing tina,
way at nil hours Of the night. Unless
this is done, we shall look to it rs II
fruitful source Of understanding, bug
gy-wreckiug items, to say nothing of
frequent upsets, as there is but n very
narrow wagon track on either side of
the cupola.

NEW DUNP TRAcx.-From the mouth
Of the Gold Hill Quartz Mill L Mining
Company's tunnel in the rarine back of
the Rhode island mill, a substantial car
track is being built for the purpose of
running the ore directly into the mill
Of the company near by. The track has
been built TO the crossing of
Main street, n short distance above the
Island mill, and will be about
500 feet in length when completed. The
heavy trsstle work upon which it crosses
will be over twenty feet above
the road high enough to allow
all sorts Of teams TO pass under it.
Considerable economy is apparent in
this car track arrangement, as it does
away with the work of shoveling and
the ore to the mill, rs hereto
fore done, from the mouth of the II n
mel.
