A RIDE Down TIE CASYoN.-A da,

ARIDE Down TIE CASYoN.-A day
or two since we jumped aboard of the
morning Dayton stage for n ride down
the canyon, in order to gain a short
respite from the cares of business and
the noise and hustle of the town, and
in search of the good things usually
found in the country-fresh air and q
GOOD, square, old fashioned meal.
Reaching the Sacramento mill, about n
mile below Silver City, concluded to
alicht and partake of the Inequalities
of our old-time friend, John Hunt, who
manifested q hearty gladness to well
come It's to his domestic roof, where we
remained until the stage returned from
DAYTON in the afternoon. After q
mmble through the sagebrush, inlial-
inc the pure country breeze and look
ing about over the surrounding coun-
try, we repaired to his domicil and
there found a spread, prepared by his
lady, that created q desire to remain
and become q permanent boarder.
Just think Of fresh eggs, fresh milk,
buttermi!k. and many other like good
things usually found at the residences
of we'll regulated families living IN the
country. Very reluctantly we parted
with our friend andhis very interesting
family, on return of the stage, in the
direction of Gold Hill, to u former
rations and usual pursuit. The Sacra-
mento mill, and several Others down
the canyon, are at present lying idle
for the want of ore. Judging from
general appearances in Silver City,
business in that town. The many old
mines which have remained dormant
tor years past are now being opened
out, preparatory to a thorough develop
ment. 1t Is now believed that there
are large bodies of good pay rock adja-
cent to Silver City that will leave a
large margin to the owners, profiting
from the recent results OF the Twin
mine, aud one or two others which have
proved their value beyond adoubt. The
new mill built by the Twin Company
is rapidly nearing completion, rs Is al
so their railway into the mine. Con-
sidering the cheap facilities at hand for
mining and reduction. compared with
former rates, and the opportunity for
obtaining wood and timber by the rail-
road, these mines will undoubtedly be-
come of immense value to the lucky
owners. Success attend the Silverites.
The hotels are filled to their utmost
capacity, and strangers are often COM
PEELED to seek lodgings elsewhere when
night overtakes them In the burg.
Merchants, tradesmen of all kinds, and
laborerS. all show evidences of q very
decided improvement in their several
departments. From Silver to Gold
Hill there appears nothing particularly
new to note, save the same old thump-
ing and banging of the continuous
quartz mills between the two localities.
GETTING HOME AGAIN.-Some of the
Gold Hill and Virginia "boys," who
went down to San Francisco to the
great musical festival, are getting back
home again, several of them arrived
this morning by Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S
stages from Reno. One of them tells
us that q few evenings ago he and an
other Gold Hitler were sitting very
cosy and pleasantly in 4 lager beer
saloon cellar, at the corner of kearny
and Commercial streets, in the nice city
of san Francisco-sipping their lager
and muncling their pretSels and Iim-
berger-when who should step into the
aforesaid gorgeous saloon but ALI. Do
ten and another Horntown chap, and
call for their beer, pretsel and cheese!
Well. that will do for once, for our
"~Innocent." ALI. seemed 4 little sur
prised at meeting his acquaintances.
OF course, he seemed surprised! Bet
yer life-he seemed surprised! Only 4
part Of the "musical festival was
there, But he explained. He said he
was "only keeping track of the sage
brushers :" Our innocent "local' had
better not try and keep the track Of our
wild sage brush rabbits. That's orr
opinion. Better take the back track,
and come home as o o as possible.
WAGON Nu1sANcE.-There is such
n thing rs "cuSsed meanness' on the
part Of a mule driver or n quartz wagon
teamster. Crosby IL Co., whose teams
come down from the Hale 81 NorcroSs,
seem to be particularly favored in this
class of teamsters. Our streets in Gold
Hill have been in excellent order all
winter, but yesterday aud to-day these
teamsters seem to have hada particular
lit of stubbornness on them, and with
locked wheels and rough shoes on,
seemed to take 4 particular satisfaction
i'm plouShing up the street@stoning
and beating their teams when 1t has
been almost or quite impossible for
them to pillow deeper into the street.
We have seen this with our own eyes
for two days past; and have hearu
expressions of disgust by citizens on
the sidewalks, Us it has looked more
like meanness towards the poor horses
and the street than anything else-uh-
loss il was laziness OH the part OF the
drivers to get of the wagons and
remove the rough wheel-shoes and to
ease the brakes OFF little. The Town
Trustees intend passing an ordinance
shortly to stop this nuisance. daily
perpetrated by Crosby Il Co.'S team
sters. Better stop 1t.
TO HoUsEEEErETs.-A little money
expended. In the winter season, espe-
:ially, for good beds and blankets,
for good lamps, for good chairs. tables,
crockery and glassware (and \ right
good looking-glass to encourage the
Gousewifes and everything needed in
n comfortably furnished cottage, cabin
or other household, goes a great way
i'm making people and housekeepers
conteated and happy. But where to
get the articles at the right price Is
another question. John L. Moore's
Furniture Store, Niagara Hall, Is
North b street, Virginia City. is the
place where you can get everything in
the household furniture line You may
need, and. at lower prices than any
other place in Virginia City.
STOPPING THE FIsH.-A correspond
ent, writing from Reno to the Enter
orise, complains that parties residing
In the vicinity of Pyramid Lake have
built a weir across the Truckee River
which prevents the trout and other
fish from coming up the river, as they
usually do about this season. The par
ties who have thus fenced the "iinny
tribes" OF. Pyramid Lake and the lower
mart Of the Truckee, certainly have no
