SILVER CrTY IrENs.-An the mills
in. and about Silver City are hard at
work, and business is not considered
at all dull in that flourishing burg.
The new mill Of the Twin Company Is
also progressing theoretically toward
completion. Mrs. Bird has taken the
Silver House and Is compelled already
to build an addition to the rear, q by
2Ofeet square, in order to accommodate
more dodgers. Wogan's Hotel Is also
full. Many who have recently returned
to Silver from White Pine report, con-
siderable snow out in that region, and
say the mills will nearly all have to
shut down in the course Of n month or
so, by reason of the difficulty of get
ting ore to them. The Virginia and
Gold Hill Water Company have bought
the flow Of water from the Occidental
tunnel, and are bringing 1t around in
q fiume to Silver City, for the supply
of the Bacon and Trench mills. The
fiume crosses the road at the DEVILS
Gate mill, and follows down on the
right hand side Of the CANYON to its
destination. During the past week the
proprietors Of the Bacon and Trench
mills have commenced building q long
line Of flume or sluice, a foot square,
to conduct the waste and tailings Of
those mills about two miles, to Ophir
Flat, a mile below Johntown. They
are working hard at it, night and day,
and have 1t already completed down
as far as the Eastern Slope mill, Mt the
lower end Of Silver. There are good
mines already developed, and plenty
of promising leads In and about the
town. The noisy mill batteries disturb
not the slumbers Of the Silverites; on
the contrary, they rejoice In their
pounding, for therein lies the chief
prosperity Of the town. The Kirby
grinder Is said to be a great success,
even with the most refractory ores.
ExAsrERETrNG.-The Carson Appeal
says: "a badly spelt copy Of the IA
vorite song entitled THE Home of My
BoyhoOd,' has been handed to us for
publication. Life Is too short. TOO
much pork for a shilling Will be
bowed If we print it. Fake it away
and burn it." Now that Just reminds
us Of numerous exasperating things in
that line that we have had played on
us. And the worst Of it Is the ASST
rance Of some folks trying to pass such
atrocities off as original matter. A
few months ago a chap down at Silver
fstk,v -n. ln,~ 5frsn- nc xynrta,
for us to publish accompanied
with a private note. inducing us
to think they were his. own COM
position. Not stopping to search
ancient record authorities, it was not
until after they were printed, with
"original" over the top, and the
chaps initials under the bottom, that
we were informed that it was an old
Down East Camp-meeting song, made
I'D and sung years before u CORES
pondent was born. Then there was
n good looking widow that we felt \
weakness toward, sent us some senti-
mental verses, as her own, with \
neatly written desire to publish the
same, il we liked them. Did We?
Well, we are Of the opinion that we
did. Why, We even went to the trou-
BILE to help her out, by iudiciously I'M
proring the verses ut various points and
In several respects. Next day, a friend
drew an old scrap-book on us with the
same piece of poetry in 1t. and even
went on to show how sadly our fair
deceiyer had Wandered in the copying,
and so "spoiled it." All! these
widows.
MoRE WErER.-rhe Virginia and
Gold Hill Water Company are now
laying another long line Of flume to
conduct the new supply Of water re-
Gently struck by them in the old Ne
yada tunnel, near the head Of Sutton
avenue, Virginia. Six and II half
inches of water already flow from that
tunnel, which quantity they hope to
increase by further drifting. The
Ilume passes along above b street, and
will be about 4 mile in length. 1t is
already completed as far as the Savage
mine, and the route for it graded to
the junction Of b and C streets, where
il will cross over and follow around
the east declivity Of the Divide to Gold
Hill. Matt. Sinnott and Others have
the contract for building and laying
the flume, and are hard at work on the
job.
The RED FLAG RNIsED.-Read Chas.
Gilman's manifesto in our advertising
columns to-day. lie means business,

shoes down so extremely low that 1t

says that the match game of billiards,
last evening, at the Magnolia Saloon,
Carson, between Burgesser and Ber-
throng, was Won by Burgesser, the
score standing at the end Of the game !:
Burgesser, 500; Berthrong, 4G3. The
playing was very creditable to these
amateurs. "Burgey" pocketed the
$l,oOO,OOO just as coolly as If he were
used to 1t.

Frank BEDFORD, belonging to n OF
our Gold Hill public schools, while

miners cabin, and now Is the very time
to set them out.
