BoMDARnMENT.-Abou 10 O'Clock
last evening considerable alarm was
created ut Virginia by a heavy can
nonading which proceeded f'om the
old Provost Guard station in the lower
part Of the city. near the residence Of
General Van Bokkelen. The inspiring
sounds Of martial music also coming
from there induced many to believe
that the Prussians had made an attack
upon the place and with their bugles
were blowing a demand for surrender,
after the style of the horn blowing be-
fore the gates Of Jericho. Excited i'll
dividualS who ran down there to see
about 1t. came back with the pacifying
intelligence that it WAS only n lot OF
the Generals friends giving him n SUR
prise party. If they didn't surprise
him. they surprised everybody else.
At any rate they cleared the house and
danced and had a good time in 1t till
they saw tit to come away.
CHoLLAR OFFICE REMOVAL. - The
large two-story brick building near the
old Chollar works, above B street, Vir-
ginia, used as the office and Superin-
tendent's residence Of the Chollar-
Potosi Mining Company. Is about to
be removed to n more favorable and
less shaky location. The new site
being graded for IL Is just a short dis
lance to. the northward Of the new
hosting works of the company, aud
the reconstructed building will front
OH D street. As a matter Of course,
the building cannot very we'll be re-
moved bodily. but 1t Is to be taken
down and rebuilt. It is n very sensible
idea on the part Of the company to
remove this building. for the ground
near it IL constantly settling. owing to
the extensive mining operations be-
meath; but aside from that, the office
Is In a very announcement, out-of-the-'
way location.
Nor TO BE FooLEp.-An old fellow
applied to the landlord of a restaurant
here In Gold Hill not long ago for a
weeks board OIL tick. Beings stranger
the landlord remarked : "Well | never
saw or heard of you before; why do
YOU ask 1t are you broke, or how Is
II. Ifyou want n meal you can have
il and welcome, but you see my terms
are cash In advance when you come to
A weeks board; willing to give any
man a meal" Well now" says the
old chap. maybe YOU take me for q
a greeny. I alnt quite such a dern'd
mnggins az to " up to being broke.
I've been fooled that way before. I'm
hunting for a job, aid one meal Amt
enough to get 1t on. Dam you. and
YER old hash house; you can just shove
It up, III 60 a little further along"
The Ten TERRrToMEs.-For the In
formation of several who have lately
propounded the question to us relative
10 the names Of the ten Territories In
the United States, and also who rep
resented them at the recent Fourth Of
July celebration In Gold Hill. we re-
publish them rs follows: Washington,
Maggie Driscoll Alaska. Minnie Fox;
Arizona. Marian Jones; New Mexico.
Emma Nelson ; Colorado, Mary Col
Tins : Idaho, Katie Mcdonald; Utah,
Mary Harris ; Montana, Mary Quill ;
Dakota, Lizzie Morgan Wyoming.
Lizzie Holman. Wonder If either OF
those young ladies will ever represent
her Territory in the Congress OF the
nation? Wyoming, we believe, Is the
only one as yet which sanctions
woman suffrage.
