becoming a grand center Of popula-
tion. Over one hundred dwelling
houses have been erected In that local
ity during the present year. The
sound Of the hammer and saw Is heard
there constantly from mornlng TIL
night. On the eastern portion Of tile
Divide, streets hitherto occupying o
nosition only OH surveyors maps, are
now built up compactly with neat and
comfortable dwelling houses. Stores,
saloons, lodging houses, restaurants
aud private residences are springing
ND on both sides Of Main street, be-
tween the Imperial hoisting-works and
the Lone Star stables, and In a short
time the publication Of Virginia City
and Gold Hill may be regarded as an
accomplished fact. Our leading mines
are the richest In the world, and 9TH
ers, on either end of the line OF the
Comstock, hitherto unproductive, are
rapidly swinging into line. We be-
lieve that n brilliant future Is In store
for our community, Of which the most
sanguine can form but little concep-
ton at the present time.
A FINE SET OF OFEIcEs.-The old
and dingy looking office at the Crown
Point hosting works, which reminded
one Of the New York and Erie railroad
depot at the foot Of Duane street, New
York, and which to us seemed not ex-
actly in keeping with the mine Itself,
has been torn down. In place thereof,
on the upper floor Of the new machine
shop, some elegant offices have been
constructed, under the supervision OF
Mr.. ). Pixley, u very superior work.
man. The first office, counting from
the east end, Is occupied BY the shipping
clerk. Ii Is fitted up in an excellent
style, and Is provided with a sliding
window from which the roll Is called.
The next office Ia that Of the Superin-
,endent. which is also complete In all
its appointments. Next Is the bath
room, which is supplied with both hot
and cold water. Then comes the otn-
GERS dressing room, which Is con-
structed with an eye to convenience
aud comfort.
BUILDING MORE FLUMEs. - Every
day, the immense benefit to the COM
munity at large resulting from the In
PRODUCTION Of the new water into Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill becomes more and
more apparent. The Occidental mill,
in the vicinity of Silver City, appears
to be the first one to be directly benc-
fitted by the new supply Of water, the
company owning the mill having made
arrangements whereby water can be
brought directly to the mill from
Gold Hill BY means Of q flume which
will be about two miles In length. a
large number OF workmen under
charge of Mr.. Cody, commenced build
ing the new flume this morning. We
learn from the above named gentle
meG that iron pipes are now being laid
all over the Divide, for the purpose OF
furnishing the people residing In that
locality with a plentiful supply OF the
aqueous fluid.
BACK AGAIN.-We notice that S. r.
Derby. for years a resident Of Gold
Hill, and one of the best tin plate aud
sheet iron workers on the Pacific
coast, has. after a few months ALB
sence at Carson, returned to his old
home. He Is now working at his reg
ular business with the well-known and
popular hardware firm Of d. ). Gala.
lin Il Co. on Main street. a short dis
lance above the News office, aad says
he has come to stay this time. No.
body knows any more how to put up
stoves and similar household fixtures
than Derby does, and whatever Work
he does In that or any other line, guar
an,ees and recommends itself. Those
who know Derby best are the most
pleased to see him back again.
The BALL LAST EvENISa.-The ball
which took place at Odd Fellows new
hall in Virginia City, last night, wasa
grand success In every respect. Dele
cations from all the military compan-
les composing the Second Brigade, n.
5, NJ, were In attendance with their
lady friends. The splendid band Of
the National Guard. under the leader
shin of Professor Caspari, furnished
the terpsichoreans with some very de-
lightful music, making no charge
therefor. The dancing was kept up
until a late hour Of the night, every
body In attendance appearing to enjoy
themselves immensely.
