mans belt, with the word "Monu-
mental" upon it in silver bullion
letters, cut from solid plate. The
| shield in front is of the same material,
with the figure SO" in gold upon it.
1t is a beautiful, valuable and appro-
pirate present, worthily bestowed, aud
was made to order by l. Friedrich,
jeweler, e street, Virginia. As we
stated In our former item, Miss Robin
son is elected an honorary member Of
the company. James f. Parker, late
foreman Of the company, in making
the presentation speech, closed with
the following words: "And, when
you have risen high In the starry o II
~stellation Of the theatrical armament,
think that the people OF your adopted
State are inteutly watching your
career and noting your triumphS, and
then occasionally think Of the donors
Of this belt, and that you are All HON
ored member of the company who run
The Engine o.. the the Ill., the
highest housed fire engine in the
world" This last remark Of Mr..
Parker's is literally true. Monumental
Is housed ut L higeer point in altitude
than any other regular fire engine in
the world.
A "CIRcus."-A "circus" without
equestrian performances Is the strang-
est "show" that ever travelled in the
the land of sage brush. The Carson
Appeai, of yesterday morning, says that
they had such a "circuS" in that city
last Saturday evening, and that it was
called NELSON'S Hippodrome," whose
advance agent thought was too big
u thing to stop at such = place as Gold
Hill-(we fear some OtIer advance
agents are likely to prove themselves
rs simple-but not to the injury Of our
town. The Appeal further says of the
"Hippodrome" on Saturday night
"The audience was not rs large rs usu-
ally attend circuiSseS here. This was
owing, 10 doubt, to the superior at
fractions of the Can Can. Ii Is due to
the management OF this circus to say
that certain difficulties which have be-
set them compelled their omission of
| equestrian performances" Truly, this
was playing "Hamlet" without the
Prince. We expect The horse had the
bots, and couldn't come to time on Sat
urday night.
PREsExrArIoN.-"No. 6" requests us to
correct several misstatsments Of the Gold
Hill Netcs concerning the presentation Of u
belt to Miss Sue Robinson at the benefit OF
Monumental Engine Company. It is made
Of pure Washoe bullion with . gold 6 upon
the shield, and Mr.. Parker only represented
q few Of Miss Robinson's friends, and not
the company.-Enterprise Of yesterday.
The belt is made of leather, and if our
~veracious contemporary will step across
the street from his office into Fred
rick's jewelry store, he will find it oil
exhibition, and be able to speak and
write about it Understandings. He
will also find that the following is to
be engraved upon the shield: Pre-
sented to Miss Sue Robinson by MOnu-
mental Engine Company No. G, Nir-
ginia, Nevada, May Goth, 1870" Will
our contemporary be just enough to
correct his "misStatements ,"
HUMAN REMAINS FouSD.-rhe skel-
eton and wasted remains of 4. man
were found this morning in an old
abandoned shaft near the County Hos
pital. The remains are supposed to
be those Of Williams, who left the
Occidental mine n year or so ago to go
to Virginia aud was neyer heard of
afterward. He is supposed to have
accidentally walked into this open
shaft, and there probably died OF
starvation. cold and exhaustion, as the
skeleton was in a partially upright
position when found, as though he was
not killed by the fall. A coffin was
taken out there by MI. Wilson, the
undertaken, and the remains brought
to Virginia. We are indebted for the
above particulars to Sheriff Cum
