road. As we stated yesterday, Charles
II. Van Gorder Of Gold Hill was t-le-
graphed to TO furnish that spike and for
ward it TO the front. Rnhling l. Co., at
their Virginia Office, filed the order for
the bullion, and supervised the manu-
facture of the spike. 1t is of the usual
shape and style Of a common railroad

1t is composed of the usual bullion
Of the Comstock ledge, and contains
proportionately gold, so; silver, 942,
the valne per ounce being a fraction
over 81 25; or the total value Of the
spike is about S34 so. The piece sent

to become historically famed through
all future ages.
PIpER's OPERA HousE.-The benefit
of John Mccullough last evening was
well attended, the spacious theatre be-
ing densely crowded in every part.
Playing with Fire." not a new idea,
but n new piece 10 these parts, was pro-
duced, for the first time, with very good
success, all the leading characters being
well represented, also the minor ones
with few exceptions. McCullough's re-
ci,al of tom Flynn Of Virginia was
good. He made more Of il than the
limited of the simple little
poem seemed to warrant, and was de-
servedly applauded. When called be.
fore the curtain he acknowledged the
compliment in a neat and appropriate
speech. The Trough Diamond con-
cluded the entertainment, with Stark as
Cousin Joe, and Miss Arnot as Margery.

The QUESTION OF INFANT SALVATION.
John R. Bessley, of the Church Of Naz.
arsth, will thoroughly discuss this ques-
ton tomorrow Sunday evening, at
II o'clock, in the Court, room, Virginia
CITY. On that occasion he will briefly
allude to Adams trausgression, and
give such an illustration Of it as he
doubts not will prove entirely new and
exceedingly interesting to oil who may
happen 10 hear it. The doctrine Of his
Church is that it is a misfortune, instead
of a blessing, to die in infancy. A cor.
dial invitation is extended to all.
IoxE MlLL.-This old established rock
smashing and bullion extracting insti-
tuition, situated on Gold Canyon, just
above the DEVILS Gate, is running on
ore from the Twin Mine, Silver City.
Mr.. G. D. Gray, the outerprisiug Super
iu,eudcnt thereof, is a young man OF
scientific ability, and is constantly
studying how to make ore yield more
gold or silver per ton under his skillful
manipulations than other millmeu sue
coed in doing. He has excellent ideas
on the subject, and we like his style Of
reducing them to practice.
CHANGED HASDs.-John Rosenbrock,
the popular treasurer al Piper's Opera
House, has purchased Theater Hall,
Gold Hill, from Finch / Meredith, and
takes possession at once. John will
keep his saloon well supplied with the
choicest liquors and cigars, and the hall
will be to let, as heretofore, to balls,
parties, shows, etc. Few men in this
section have more friends than John
Rosenbrock, and he cannot fail to do
well in his new location. Call and see
him.
TWIN MIyE.-Under the superinten-
deuee of Mr.. S. A. Chaplin, the famous
Twin mine, at Silver City, is getting
along finely, and yielding II gratifying
amount of gold bullion per month to
the fortunate proprietors.
Saur Dowx.-The Sunderland mill,
a, wei! as the Rhode Island mill, are
both lying idle at present, from lack OF
ore to crush.
