NEVADA FRU1T.-This portion Of the
happy land Of sagebrush was evidently
not originally. intended for extensive
fruit orchards, yet In favored locations
about here, fruit trees flourish, and
bid fair to yield we'll. What few fruit
trees there are, have already yielded
very creditable specimens Of apples,
pears, plums, ETC., and some toll
erably good peaches. Taking 1t,
however for granted that this was not
a fruit country, very few people have
cared to try the experiment Of grow
Ing any fruit ut all. In Six-mile Can
Won, however, there are several choice
little spots where fruit trees flourish
and are doing exceedingly well, and
the same may be said Of other select
| places about Virginia and Gold Hill.
At Hildeband's Pleasure Garden, for
merly Gen. Van Bokkelin's place, or tho
old provost guard station, situated at the
lower part Of Virginia, there Is a very
thrifty growth OF young fruit trees,
now Just becoming Of good bearing
size. which are ut the present time
loaded down with pears, apples. plums
and other species of fruit, which will
all mature well, aud eventually these
trees will become q source Of profit as
well as pleasure. The greatest trouble
ut present. Mr.. Hildehrand says, Is to
keep the crowds Of visitors from pick
ing off this fruit before it has a chance
TO get ripe.

STATE AND COUNTY REVENUES. -
| Within the six months ending June 10,
the County Treasurer Of Storey county
has paid into the State Treasury OH
account Of Storey county, the sum OF
"a, 1873. During the previous SIX
months a much larger sum was paid
over. Nearly one-half Of all the taxes
| collected In the county has to DO turned
over to the State. OF the revenue de-
rived from poll taxes the State gets
| one-half; Of taxes on the proceeds OF
| mines, five-sixths and Of the revenue
derived from gaming licenses the state
receives one-half. BY an Act OF the
last Legislature, the license fee for
keeping a faro game was reduced from
800 to $270 per quarter. The revenue
| derived from this source In storey
county during the past six months
amounted to 1914.
LIVELY. Gold Hill continues to
present the same lively appearance
| that Il has done all the present season.
| Lumber Is in good demand. houses
and improvements to dwellings are
building on all sides, Maiu street Is
| being torn up Its entire length for lay
ing the pipes for the new gas works, a
| strong force of men are employed con-
| STRUGGLING the side track or depot switch
of the railroad. Huge prairie cnoon
ers continually grinding their cautious
way down the steep decllvity OF Main
street, loaded with groceries and gen,
eral merchandise for the stores, and
without saying anything about the
mines, Gold Hill looks healthy ana
business-like.
