Az ANXIOUS GATHERING. - ester-
day afternoon four fair but frail dam
sells came down from Virginia for a
social visit to Gold Hill. They we're
pretty full Of benzins when they ar
rived, and took some while here. The
effect wa. TO make them n little quar-
| relsome, and while In a saloon togetli-
| or there was for n time quite a pros
pcct for n little game Of hair pulling
| and bloody noses among the fair quar-
tctte. Ia front Of the saloon were
gathered u deputy constable, ready to
| make an arrest, a Justice OF the Peace,
prepared 10 try the case, a doctor,
waiting TO dress the wounds, \ hair
dresser, with an eye to business, aud a
newspaper reporter, eager for a lively
item. There was no war, however,
except that OF filthy tongues, the al
fair was amicably settled, and the
! crowd LEFT in disgust, the reporter be-
ing tho only successful u Of tho lot.
soLiD GROUND. - The great crack,
running along the cast side OF Geld
Canyon, opposite tho Crown Point
and Belcher mines, keeps gradually
but almost imperceptibly widening,
owing TO the continual settling Of the
ground. Although this will probably
never affect wooden buildings ut the
lower end Of town, II might show
some effect upon large brick ones In
course Of time. The solidest part OF
the town Il tho central portion, which
Is not undermined beneath to any mp.
preelasls extent, and 10 not likely to
be. The largest Of brick or stone
buildings are perfectly safe In this por.
ton Of the town, being built on good
solid ground. a very material point to
be considered In this great Comstock
community.
