A BRICK FROM CoSo.-Half a dozen
years ago, when Palmyra District the
other side of Carson River, was noted
for its great number of promising silver
and gold. bearing lodges, Como, the
principal town, fourished as the central
rsliying point for everybody. There
were thousands Of locations made and
recorded, and, like White Piners, the
Comedies were all rich in "feet,"
even though they lacked coin to Jungle
in their pockets. They even made a
raise Of u fne new ten.ststnp mill, out
somehow, through mismanngement or
other adverse circumstances, 1t did not
work we'll, and not a ledge IN the dis
trict could be made to pay. Hence 1t
was that the fortunes If the district
waned, and Como went down, faded
away like u perennial flower, like scores
Of other little prospecting towns have
done and still do throughout the coun.
try. With all her numerous lodges and
hundreds Of prospectors, quartz mill
thrown in, very few persons ever SAW q
" brick" from Como. We are he sole
and happy proprietor Of the only one
we ever saw from there. General John
B. Winters, now Of the Yellow Jacket
mine, was at one time superintendent of
the Como mill, running it on ore from
the Whitman ledge, and he gave US a
little COB ofamalgam. We treasured it
up very carefully in the corner of our
trunk, until u few days ago we got
WIegaud Of the well known Gold Hill
Assay 08re TO mould the whole OF II
into one brick and stamp "Como" on
the face Of it, According to assay, it
is worth 81 SO per ounce, being nearly
pure silver, with a very little gold, and
its entire weight is one ounce and a
| quarter, being worth in the aggregate
| abont So. For the information Of that
musied foot.pad on the Divide, We
would state that we never pack it about
with Us, but keep it on special deposit
in the vault, Of the Cnl,foroia Bank.
| We have that much laid up for a "rsiny
day. aud Whatever degree Of adversely
mny ov-rtake US, we res. easy in the
o~tiuent idem that we are sole proprietor
OF a.brick from Como.
PiPER's OPERA House. -" Carriers
Dramatic Combination appeared for
the first time at Piper's Opera House
las, evening, to a tolerably good audi.
euce. The entertainment consisted Of
II concentrated dramatizntion Of "Lu-
crezia Borgia, followed by the funny
little mrce of "Our GAL" Carrie
Carter ]prrsonrted the wildly passionate,
loving, schemiug, wicked Lucrezia, in
a very effective manner, erincing great
natural talent MS a really fine actress.
J. W. Carter, her husband, sustained
I'll the other principal characters in the
piece admirably, assisted n little by Mr..
Lewis, who appeared iu one minor
character. The piece was ex-
actly what Carter, in q neat
little speech, claimed for it-a very
concentrated dramatization Of the orig !
iual, and It was we'll given. The farce
was also very good. This evening they
will give "Ingomar, the Barbarian,'
concluding with the Dutch Lovers"
They are we'll deserving Of n good house.
A. T. Delauo, agent Tor C%hiarini's Cir

NEw ENGINE HousE.-The little old
brick and stone building on Main street,
opposite tho store Of Stern L Son, Of

They are removing it in order to erect
o fine new wooden building for their
machine and company purposes. The
railroad cuts across the rear end Of
their lot, but there will be'still plenty
of room left for the new building, |
which will be % by 60 feet in size,
with l6 foot posts. /, will be n hand
some building when completed, and an
ornnmeu. to Gold Hill. The rock Of
which the side aud rear walls Of the

being much better material than the
waste rock heretofore used.

WArERMsLoSs.- These fruitY voge-
tables are becoming quite plenty in our
market, but are rather high priced just
at present. The crop is said to be ex-
c~el!cnt this year, and, With The good
transportation facilities afforded by the
railroad, California should keep Us plcn-
tifully supplied and at the most reason
able prices.
FRuIr. - Peaches, plams, apples,
pears, in fact all the choice fruits Of
the season, abound in our markets, and
ut very reasonable rates. II is pretty
much all from California. and comes
through in very good condition. Every
body can afford TO eat fruit now.

Thirsty man this hot weather like a fell
