A GAIA DAy.-To.day, in honor OF

NAbA bAh.-RO-uug III hohoA VI
the Inauguration of General U. S. Grant
as President of Uncle Sans d~ominions,
flags are flying from many of the various
mining works, mills and public build
ings throughout Gold Hill and Virginia.
The Stars and Stripes float proudly from
the tall, handsome flagstaff on Fort
Homestead, and we notice that even
some of the private residences and places
of business show their c%olorS, rs, for
instance, the building occupied by Storm
4 Son and Liberty Engine Company No.
|, Cross & Gibson's saloon, Piouoor
Paint Shop, Gold Hill News Office, etc.
Virginia is quito gay with flags. SUIT
terley has his flung to the breeze from
the tall flagstaff on top Of his photo
graphic gallery. Mortou's saloon, on
South c street, the Virginia Hotel, and
many other places, besides the Gould Il
Curry, Savage, Hale & Norcross and Chol-
lar-Potosi mining works, all show their
flags. The residence of ]. d. Treat,
Esq, on South c street, however, makes
the handsomest display Of any, the front
aud balcony being beautifully trimmed
with flags Of all nations, with the old
flag of America most prominent Of them
all. Washoe and Washington are in
sympathy together in this matter of
public rejoicing over the inauguration
Of him who fought, conquered, and now
says 'Let US have peace" although We
are not so demonstratiyc as they are at
the national headquarters to-day.
HEAVY BURGLARY.-About s o'clock
last evening an enterprising burglar
watched his opportunity and broke into
the office of the Virginia Planning Mill,
D street, Virginia. He forced the
drawer Of the desk, but found nothing
"worthy Of his steal" therein. Then
he passed through into q sleeping room
ut the rear, where he found a small tin
hand. trunk, such as coin, greenbacks
and other valuables are generally kept in
at such places, and satisfying himself rs
to its desirable contents by u shake he
grabbed the box and took 1t out in the
lumber yard near by, where he stove it
open with his boot heel and let out the
contents, consisting Of some deeds, re-
ceipts, letters and other documents, and
two knives worth six bits each. These
knives were what deluded him when he
shook the box. He took those knives
along. This is doubtless the same poor,
unsuccessful devil of n burglar who was
doing such a slim business in his line
on tho Divide q few weeks ago. He had
better leave for White Pine before he
starves 10 death.
DIED OF SNALL-roX.-Wm. O'Brien,
one of the cases Of smallpox we re-
ported yesterday, died ut lower Gold
Hill early this morning, and his funeral
took place this forenoon. He broke out
with the disease yesterday, and it speedi-
" assumed the most malignant conitu-
cnt type battling the best medical skill
and careful nursing and attendance.
Deceased was q native of Vermont, aged
IS, single, and has relatives living at
Am Harbor, Michigan. He has been q
resident Of Gold Hill since 1860, princi-
pally in the employ of II. c. Blanchard,
ESQ, as q teamster. 4 larger hearted
man or one replete with more generous
impulses is hard to find, and he leaves
numerous warm friends to mourn bis
sad death.
CmoLLAI.-Thc drift east from he
shat, at the l,24O-foot level DEVELOPS
no pay ore rs yet. At the l,l0o-foot
level, drifting east, q considerable
amount of water is encountered, drip
ping from overhead, through the por-
phyry, but no quartz. At the 94O-toot
level, punches Of quartz are found, but
no pay ore. Tho upper levels OF the
mine continue to yield goodly quantities
of bullion material, about l2O tons a day
being extracted.
FINED. Justice Cook, after taking
the matter under Amusement, concluded
to fine Mr.. Kirk $50, day before yester-
day, for committing a nuisance in burn
ing a lot of smallpox bedding taken
from his p%est-house cabin on the hill
side opposite the Yesey House, his
neighbors complaining OF the smoke as
dangerous and q nuisance.
AMAZING CocKTAILs.-At the Theater
Saloon, Gold Hill, Finch Il Meredith do
keep some of the best beverages and
cigars in town, and when you call for n
cocktail, there's where the divinity of
the thing in. Ask ClarksOn, the
genial boy with the pretty neck.tie, who
stands behind the bar.
