DESIRABLE LOCATIONS o RES
IDENCEs.-In all cities and townsthere
appears to be a disposition to select To-
cations for private residences in the
midst of the most densely populated
part of the burg. 1t has frequently
occurred to us. in passing along the
| road, that the o. desirable part OF
Carson City-Or adjacent. at least. for
resldence~-iS along the road between
town and the Warm Springs Hotel. 1t
SeenS 10 us that an acre or so of ground
could be purchased along that road, a
dwelling built a respectable distance
from the road, aud beautited to the oc-
cupantS taste, II all told would be far
more desirable than to be crowded on
"A twentv-foOt lot in the densely pOpu-
lated part of town. The coy little
residence east of the Orphans Home
is sufficient evidence to prove our idea
in the premises. 1t is free from dust
and entirely out of danger from fire,
from adjacent buildings.
DESERT, OREEK MINES. Joseph
Bouncer, who arrived from Desert
Creek, sixty miles south of this place,
yesterday, reports mining operations
being carried on in that section with
good success. Mines have beer dis
covered in that locality bearing ore
rich in galena and silver. Assays have
been made from the rock reaching 5000
to the ton. Workmen are now EN-
plph tl lIIlIltIIlie lpt lilc maui Ct-t.
and when found sneltinC works will
be erected on the ground by the own
erS of the mines and the ore worked as
fast as taken from the mine. The com
panv are confident of striking the
main ledge. and feel sanguine that
Desert Creek will in time hold no
mean place in the annals of the coun-
try as a mining district. The Arctic
mine. rich in silver, is but a short dis
lance from the mines of Desert Creek.
GIFT CoNCERT.-The first grand gift
concert of the State of Nevada, takes
place in Virginia city, August -, as
will be seen 10y advertisement in an
other column. AS the time is now
near at hand, it will be we'll to consider
the prOpriety of purchasing tickets.
The object. as set forth, is, for the pur-
pose OF founding a State institution for
the insane, a condition that we are all
liable TO be placed in, and as there is
nothing of the kind i'll existence in the
State, it would be contributing money
for a good purpose, in the event no
prize is won in the drawing. There
are 10000 tickets, s. each. and 800
900 in gold coin to be given away in
prizes. J. ID. kerSey, at the st. Charles
Hotel. is agent for this county, OF
whom tickets can be procured.
