LETTER FROM NEVADA.

NoLD I1lLli NcV., TeD., "a, Io'z.
EDITOR JOURNAL :--Since you 50 kind
ly published my RECONSTRUCTED scrawl Of
last week, | am in hopes that this letter
will meet as glorious fate. 1t is great
thing to see ones name in print, unless
it happens to appear among the deaths"
or the "Drunks and disorders " in Police
Court reports then it assumes a different
aspect-not that ! wish to have your
readers think that my name will ever
above heads. No, sir; | amt going to
die, and the many years, spent in Trim
ity county trained me far better than a
D. D.-I never can get enough into me
to bring about so deplorabe result.
TIE CITY
Is comparatively quiet since the late great
excitement in mining stocks. An inflated
market makes things lively, while a de-
preston acts as sedative to our over
strung nerves. Business, however, pur-
sues the even tenor of its way and now,
since the blockade on the Union Pacific
is raised, goods come pouring in to re-
penlsh the almost exhausted stocks. The
melting SHOWS have made our streets
Shiny, shining rivers of mud - deep,
treacherous and horrible. The opening
Of Spring will bring with it new era Of
prosperity and the scenes of early years
will be re-enacted.
OUR MINES
Are developing paying ones in immense
quantities in the profound depths Of the
old Comstock. The Crown Point, owned
principally by Alvinza Hayward and j.
L. Jones, has body of ore of great ex-
tent and richness, which has been pros
pected down 1900 feet without any appar-
ent din.i ution in quantity or qua ity. 1t
is estimated that over thirty millions of
dollars are in sight at present, and from
indications as much more lies hidden be-
Two the 1900 feet level.
The Belcher, adjoining the Crown
Point, has the same body OF ore which is,
| may remark, one hundred and twenty
five feet wide by over two hundred feet
deep, and the whole mass will assay about
seventy dollars per ton.
The Savage has also fine body of ore
on the 400 level, and as the Savage is
situated over mile north of the Crown
Point, it is safe to presume the interven-
ing claims will ultimately reach and de-
velop this new and wonderful deposit.
BLOODY DEED
Was perpetrated in lower Gold Hill a
day or two since-a drunken brawl, n
fist fight, resort to deadly weapons and
the instant death of one of the principals.
The parties to the atfray were Prentice
and O'Rouke, two miners. Prentice lev
eled shotgun and literally blew his op-
ponent all to pieces, the body presenting
IA ghastly, horrible appearance. The mur-
der, if such he be, is incarcerated in the
county Jail.
WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY
Passed off with great eclat, albeit n fright
ful storm of wind and snow ragged from
the rising of the sun to the going down
thereof, preventing us from indulging in
the iavorite pastime, of Americans, walk
ing. But as soon as night fell, halls were
Illuminated and hundreds of gay revelers
mingled in the dance. Your correspond
ent, with true Trinity modesty, stood in
an obscure corner and smiled fond appro-
walls on the struggling crowds upon the
floor. Did you ever notice the expression
OF pain some faces wear in a dance, while
Others are suflused with idiotic laughter ?
Some, but why moralize, fun is fun and
every one to his fancy, and dancing is jol-
~ II you only get good partner.
SKATING Kinks
Are another source of enjoyment, more
especially when some shapely dame falls
IN happy style ; us "horrid men " will
laugh, despite the scornful glances of the
fallen daughter; we can't help it, we are
brutes, no doubt, but in such cases we
enjoy our degradation. Miss Carrie A.
Moore, the renowned skatist and yeloci-
pedlst, appeared to an audience of several
hundred, givingus an opportunity of crit
ielslng her skill and her shapely limbs
which she displayed freely and to great
advantage.
But will not occupy all your space
this week. More anon. W.B.C.
