whistles shrek. car loads Of ore thun.
der down the chutes, and at times the
place seems a second Pandemonium.
To look down upon the town from the
hills above, these frosty mornings, the
whole basin below, in which lies the
town, seems a seething cauldron.
Great white clouds Of steam rise up
everywhere, almost hiding the town
from view. The trains almost hourly
passing through the town over the rail-
road also add not q little to the float
ing steam clouds and to the general
din and confusion. Below all this,
however, the real work Is being done.
Far down under the town and far be-
yond the reach Of the faintest echo OF
the shrillest locomotive whistle, hun
dreds Of men are sweltering In an
atmosphere but little cooler than that
popularity supposed to characterize that
Of the regions ruled by his internal
majesty. Here Is where the real work
is done, Notwithstanding all the tur-
moil on the surface. IL is a city be-
meath a city. and the wonders Of the
lower far surpass those OF the upper
city. Gold Hill is a busy place, not
| on the surface alone, but tor 1000 feet
below-we run business into the ground
here.
THINK They HAVE FOUND lT.-A
day or two ago we made mention that
some prospectors near the mouth Of
Seven-mile Canyon, In Flowery Dis.
trict, were collecting the best of the
float ore found on the surface at that
place for the purpose Of having 1t
milled. We learn that up to last even
ing they had collected together up
wards Of so tons, which from assays
and practical tests made they have no
doubt will yield over $40 per ton /; and
that in tracing the float ore up the side
of the mountain they finally reached n
point where the ore gave out, and judy
ing from :he indications, are firmly
convinced that the ore comes from n
blind ledge covered by the rock and
rubbish from the mountain above.
Acting on this belief q company has
been formed and location made, by
DIR. McMeans j. h. Suttcrley and
others, and a shaft started IN the full
faith that they will have to sink but a
few feet to strike the ledge. Another
location, supposed to have equal merit
with the first, has been made OH the
same range and the work of hunting
for the ledge begun in good earnest.
Well, boys, so down after it; hope
you will strike a dividend to begin
with.
"MoRE FURNITURE FOR DAYToN."-
Daily the Dayton stage passes down
from Virginia, with Its hnrricane-deck
high piled with furniture Of every de-
scrlption-chairs. tables, cribs, sofas,
rocking-horses. baby-jumpers, and ev-
cry imaginable article Of household
goods. It's always "more furniture
for Dayton" Dayton Is the Mrs.
Toodles of Washoe. Without Dayton
we don't know what would become Of
the Virginia dealers in secondhand
furniture. Dayton Is their safety
valve. Through her they find saliva
ton. What the Daytonites do with so
much furniture Is q mystery. They
did formerly burn 1t all up, and the
town with it, about ace q year, but
they have not had a burning for over
two years. and the furniture Is going
down at rs lively n gait as ever. One
can always tell the Dayton stage rs
far as it can be seen, by the pyramid
of plumber OH Its roof. As the coach
passes we always peer In at the open
windows, to see IL we I'll catch q
glimpse of Mrs. Toodle., whom We
are sure ought to be inside.
Tue OMNIBUS LINE.-Jake White,
the genial proprietor Of the omnibus
line between this place and Virginia,
will leave for New York, in a few
days, for the purpose Of purchasing
three new omnibuses. They will be
ten passenger buses, and will be much
lighter than the big bus now on the
line. When the new buses are started
one will leave Virginia every twenty
minutes and also will leave this town
for Virginia on the same time-mak-
ing three buses up and three down
every hour. Mr.. White will also put
on a bus between this place and Silver
City. One Of the lighter buses, ut
present in nse here, will be placed In
this service. Jake says he is going to
show our people a bus line worthy Of
the name. We wish him evory success
and are quite certain that he Will be
literally patronized by u people, for
a more accommodating maj has never
"bossed "a public conveyance in his
region.
STILL IN THE FIELD.-In spite 81
the railroad, and the great quantities
of coal and wood it brings to Virginia,
the Chinese wood-poddlers still 20
around, serenely Indifferent as regards
any other mode of fuel transportation
than that peculiar to themselves.
..John" Is bound not to be driven from
the track. They have n certain class
of customers = persona who inha6it
rooms In lodgtng-houses, and who have
only room to stow away two or three
armfuls of wood Mt a time-and per.
hans sell about rs much wood now MS
before the railroad was completed.

road company. and by their peculiar
mode of notwithstanding, split.
ting and piling-will manage to gel
about $25 or $50 for what cost them
ZIG to $lS. Should John" write
book entitled "What I Know About
| Wood" IL would be n work worthy o.
the attention Of the consumer.
