BACK FROM VIRGINIA.

Mr.. Chandler, the well-known con-
tractor and builder, is back from a
visit to the region Of the Comstock.
Mr.. Chandler was al old time mining
man in the western part Of the State.
The Silver Hill and st. Louis COM
panies having concluded to litigate
their respective rights to certain min
ing ground, Mr.. Chandler was sum
moued to appear and give testimony
concerning his knowledge nf the dips
and angles and spurs of the disputed
territory. lie says he met many old
time friends in Virginia City and Gold
Hill, and reports having had II good
time generally. During his stay in
Virginia he was shown through all of
the lower levels OF the Virginia Con-
solidated mine. Of which John Mackay
is the principal CIV ner. lie says the
mammoth bonanza recently developed
in that celebrated mine is simply won
lerful. 1t has All average width OF
one hundred fee, and has been *
plored !sr Il distance of nearly seven
hundred feet. The ore mills about
$500 to the ton, and it has been esti-
mated that there is q sufficient amount,
in sight to yield thirty-two million
dollars. We would he delighted to ex-
change nj Pewtsr.nctum mine. in Me
Geary district, for one-lalf of The Nir-
ginia Consolidated. The Indications
are that Mr.. Mackay. the chief owner
of the latter, will be the richest man on
the Pacific coast long before that mag
n.ticent bonanza shall have been eX-
liauSted.

BRIDGE Ir.-Yes.erd, being 4 fine,
bright day, we concluded te go fishing.
Taking our rod aud line we wcndcd
our way around Dick Ryland's corner,
down to the Clark street bridge, a
large, wide, strong, well built, commo
dious, onen, aEti-ilood framed Struc-
ture. Upon this ornament to the city
we seated ourselves, and rs our feet
danglcd over the abyss below, were I'M
pressed with the Importance OF bridges,
and could not but acknowledge what
a boon the County Commissioners had
conferred upon the public. The fish
ing was not excellent, only II dog
Rather and II of All. ClIariz's socks
Hoated by, so we meandered up stream.
We tried the bridge at Bige!Ow's Hall,
but after Clark street, it didn't impress
Us much. We ough. to have returned
to the Office at this point, but we were
insane enough TO proceed. After pass
ing 81. James Church, we wanted to
cross over to Main street "to see Il
man." hut found to our surprise tina,
from Bateinan stree: to the Richmond
furnace, a portion of the town occupied
largely by residences, there is not a
single decent bridge, or crossing which
is safe after niyhtfall. Why isthat end
of the town SO grossly neglected !? We
don't know who is to blame, but we
are fishing for a bridge or two up there.
