SKETCHES OF EARLY DAYS IN
VIRGINIA CITY.

One Saturday afternoon in February.
1859. II. P. Comstock. John Bishop and
Aleck Henderson were walking over the
pile Of rocks afterward known rs Gold
Hill. They were on the lookout for in
dications, and in crossing the ridge they
noticed where q little dirt had been
scratched ont apparently by squirrel.
II was a red oxide that generally accom-
panied the gold deposit throughout the
canyon. Comstock stopped and said:
That is pay dirt" They gathered mp
some snow, set it in pan to melt in the
sun, put in some dirt, and rubbing the
two together, found il was. After pros
pecfing around during the entire after
noon they went back to Johntown. told
what they had discovered, and the fol-
lowing morning the whole population OF
Johntown went up to look at it. Com
stock. "old yirginny." and several 9TH
ers soon afterward took up claims. each
fifty feet lengthwise and four hun
dred feet across the ledge. Consid-
cradle work was done, and with
a moderate degree OF success, though
the entire party were in ignorance
OF the existence there OF quartz mines.
At the time Jessup was killed BY Sides
he was working claim on the line OF
the Comstook. Sides was taken to
Eagle Valley and great many of the
inhabitants OF the district went over with
him. AT that time there were two men,
O'Reilly and Mclaughlin, working close
by, and while Jessup's murderer and the
crowd were over in Eagle Valley. they
started in on his (Jessup's) claim. One
afternoon they came accidentally on a
sort Of chimney formation Of decayed
quartz ledge, and that evening they took
out about three hundred dollars worth Of
a poor quality of ore worth probably eight
or ten dollars an ounce. They covered
1t up and Immediately started to manip-
ulate matters, 80 that they eventually
succeeded in getting control of that
claim. This was about May 10th, 1853.
Lyman Jones and A. Loshbaugh were
the original locators of the mine now
known as the Yellow jacket. They
commenced to work on that claim in
March, 80. At that time Mrs. Alex
Cohn, afterward Mrs. l.. s. Bowers, kept
hotel at Gold Hill. Mrs. Lyman Jones
was the first white woman that lived in
Virginia City. Few of the early pioneers
now remain. The whereabouts Of the
old Johntown records are, as far as We
are aware, unknown. They will prove.

piler of early records, and should by
right be deposited with the Pioneer As
sociation OF Virginia City.

The Virginia Chronicle, in accounting
for the heavy decline in stocks. advances
the theory that the high price OF gold in
the East is inducing the San Francisco
merchants to withdraw their stock in
vestments and pay their Eastern obliga-
tons. We are inclined to think that the
action Of the Bulls and Bears of Cali
fornia street in manipulating the stock
to suit their own purposes. is one of the
principal causes OF the present stagna
ton of the stock market.

USELESS WORRY.

ic Life has great troubles Ia store for
all of. US; and few liye to be men and
women without knowing terrible grief.
But, fortunately, these intense mo-
ments cannot fill all the years. Time
helps us to forget at least, the sSrest
of the pain. To every one would come
some joy but for the little worries that
happen with the passing hours--cares
about money and the cost Of things,
small qnarrels, petty jealousies, false
shame, aud an awful dread of what
"they" will think if we take little
comfort, and dress and eat to suit our
selves, and know people we like wheth-
er they are 'genteel'' or not, and say
what we mean, instead Of what is ex-
pected.
- Worries eat the life away. They
gnaw and Bite wrinkles into the face,
and bring gray hairs ON the head, and
half the time they are net only abso-
intely needless but absurd. Why in
the name of all that is sensible, can
we not wait until the draught of sor.
row is forced TO our lips, and not sup
needlessly at the cup of gall and
wormwo0d?
If every man could say to himself,
"small worries shall p,ost certainly
not lengthen my face, u every wo-
man could refuse to fret over such
trifies as impudent cooks, and napkins
with nntimely holes in them,
more of us would live out the three
score and tenyears allotted to us by
Heaven, and We should all certainly
be much better eeppany while We
lasted. sa
