to the arrival ofthe circus company.
Circus entertainments, the ouly sur.
vivingirelic Of tho Olympic games,
always have been q popular form
Of amusement, and will be proba-
bly, until the end Of time. We are in

ances that every time one comes along
they load their wives, children and
household gods into a wagon and
travel with the circus for three weeks
at n time.

quartz milling interests Of this section,
returned from Columbus District, Es-
meralda county, this morning, where

OF the most promising places in the
State for mines and general business.
SCHOOL CENsus.-We understand
that Professor James has nearly CON-
pleted the enrolment Of the names Of
the children belonging In Gold Hill,
between the ages Of six and Is years.
The number will not ditfer greatly

toned to that district, have been placed
to the credit OF the Gold Hill School
Fund.

LIVELY TIMEs.-rhis afternoon we
noticed a procession Of freight teams
extending from st. Patrick's Church
nearly to the Main street railroad
crossing. AS we passed along the
street our ears were greeted with the
Babylonish shrieking Of whistles from
locomotives and hosting works. ere
ating the impression In the mind OF a
stranger that bedlam had broke loose.
BUILDING IMrRov MEs1s. j. G.
Doublebee has nearly completed a
handsome and staunch looking build
ing on the Divide. We suppose nat
neither the winds nor the floods will
have any effect upon 1t, for the reason
that it Is founded upon a rock. a por-
ton of the building will be used as
saloon, the remainder being occupied
rs a dwelling house.
Nut PlNE.-Two wagon loads 81
nut pine, from the foothills beyond
DAYTON, passed up Main street this af-
ternoon. The arrival Of the cargo Isl
fortunate circumstance. Jas Gailashers
wood yard Is pretty nearly cleaned OUT.
One OF the wood teams was driven oy
al Indian.
Do,sa A SI.AsuiNa BUsINEss.-To-day
we noticed that every Il OF Jake
Whites buses plying between Cod
and Virginia. was loaded down with
passengers. We suppose this state OF
affairs will continue as long as the
circus remains In Virginia.
