were very enthusiastic IN their praises
of the chivalric treatment accorded
them by the employees Of the mine.
A lady member Of the party expresses
herself rs follows: "Being In high
spirits We started from Virginia City
at IL o'clock to see some or rather one
ofthe most renowned mines Of theState
Of Nevada, and through the kindness
of Superintendent Jones were permit
ted to enter the Crown Point. On n
tering we wore lowered through a
shaft HOO feet in depth, where every
thing was in full operation, then we
we're lowered 200 feet further,a at which
point we went into all crevices and
hollows, led by a gentlemanly tore
man Of the lower levels. Our wonder
ing eyes sazed with surprise Mt the
g~littering ore, which was worth, In
some points, from 300 to $500 a ton.
The heat was oppressive, and our pity
went with the working men, who
seemed. In spite Of the heat, to be In
high spirits. Owing to the fact Of our
being accompanied BY John II. Rowe
and wife, who were acquainted with
many Of the miners. we were treated
with the greatest courtesy, and we
tender our most heartfelt thanks to all
of the klnd-hearted gentlemen who es-
corted US through the mines"
The Bowers ENTERTAINMENT PosT-
roNEp.-As will be seen by advertise
ment in another column to-day, the
drawing Of the Bowers Mansion Grand
Gift Entertainment Is postponed until
Wednesday, October 18th. This had
to be done for the reason that owing to
other enterprises OF a similar nature
interfering. the sale Of tickets has been
rather slower than was anticipated.
This Is not Us 1t should be, for no one
can find any possible objection to the
scheme or its management, and other
projects Of the kind being out OF tho
way, this ought, and will hereafter re-
ceive the attention its merits actually
deserve. Aside from the chance OF
winning the Mansion itself, or some OF
the Bowers diamonds, silverware, oil
paintings, ETC., the gold coin prizes
amounting to $l00.0 900 would not b.
bad to take, any of them would be &C.
ceptable. There are 800 prizes In all,
and it Is to be hoped that the principal
ones will be won by some Of our enter
prising fellow citizens who are not
afraid to risk the small investment OF
81 80 for a ticket. The Bowers MAN.
sion itself is all exceedingly good pay
ing property this season, and the tor
tunate winner will always have a
grand income from 1t as u place Of pub
Tic resort. As evidence of the popu-
larity OF the scheme, more tickets are
being sold here ut home than there are
abroad. showing that our people do
not look ut it in the same light as Or
binary lotteries, but more as a legiti-
mate, hopeful, square investment.
