have been written to them within the
last few months on public business con-
nected with their office, but no response
can be obtained. In addition to matters
relating to the public business of the
Land Office, in which our people are
deeply concerned, we have letter on
nriyate business of our own, which, il
not attended to at an early day, We now
nromise them to give to the reading pub
tic full showing of their financial de-
liuouences as practiced towards the set
tiers on the public lands in this county,
as the same will appear from the sworn
affiidavits now at hand
RAILROADS vs.. STAGES From Phoebe
to Bullionville, and from Virginia to
Carson City, are probably the only two
routes in America, OF the same length,
connecting towns, where stages persist
emily refuse to be driven off the routes
by railroad cars. The Virginia and Car
son road has now been in operation six
or seven years. and yet stages continue
to run between the points named. The
railroad from Phoebe to Rullionville has
only been fully equipped for passenger
traffic few months, but long enough to
demonstrate that a stage line eau be sue
cessfully maintained over the same
route. The condition of the two
roads are IN many respects SINH
lar, as they were both built mainly
for the purpose of carrying ore from
mines in elevated localities to mills on
water courses below. The distance
from Virginia to Carson is about the
same as the distance from Phoebe TO
Bullionville, both being constructed on
heavy grades. One is, however, narrow
gauge, and the other broad.
The SOCIAL LAST NIGHT. Owing to a
press Of other engagements We did not
attend the sociable given by the B. B.
Club at Browns Hall last night. From
those who attended, however, we learn
that the affair was, in all respects, uney-
ceptionable. The lady managers of the
sociable deserve great credit for the sue.
cess which has SO far crowned their
efforts to furnish the means by which
the ladies' and gentlemen Of our town
may pass portion of their evenings in
social communion. The hall was well
filled, and all present went away hap.
pier, if not wiser and better for the even
ing's enjoyment.
NoT'FLouRIsHISa.-The legitimate dra-
ma, or in fact any other kind of theatre
cal performance does not seem to flourish
in the atmosphere of Phoebe about these
days. This condition Of affairs is said to
he the result Of limited supply Of
bullion in the local market. All tina,
will be changed, however, when we strike
it on the lower levels, as We confidently
expect to in very short time,
YESTERDAY was one Of the gloomyes
days we ever remember to have seen in
the mountains of Nevada. All day long
dense masses of vapor overhung the city
with occasional sprinkles of rain. Rheu
matte and chronic ailments of ever,
kind flourish and grow rank in sucl
atmospheric conditions as have prevailed
for some days past hereabouts.
Nor SHUT DowN.-We mentioned il
yesterdays paper that from some caus
unknown to us the Bowery mine ha
been shut down. The stoppage was oc
casicned by the necessity of putting in
new hosting rope, which caused deten
ton of but few hours. The work i
progressing again as usual
