THE LYON COUNTY BONANZA.

Our reporter rode over to the
Amazon yesterday and found every
thing progressing very favorabiy.
The new hosting machinery is N
full operation, and the driving down
of the shaft and winze is now being
pushed with vigor characteristic Of
that most excellent superintendent,
Mr.. Caldwell. We say most ex-
cellent +" because the systematic de-
velopment aud rigid economy pur-
sued in the opening of this and the
Niagara justiiies us In speaking in
commentator OF Superintendent
Caldwell, and, for the good of both
these mines and the interests of the
county at large, we hope Mr.. C. may
long be retained to engineer the
work of development. In the ANA
zon the winze is being driven down
simultaneously with the shaft. The
little, cheap donkey engine is found
to be fully sufficient for the extern
sive prospecting of the mine, and is
doing more work than one would
expect of machinery of that class.
The rock now coming out of the
vein is improving vastly upon that
previously taken out, and every
foot Of development shows a decided
improvement in the mine. We
have couple OF specimens now in
our office, picked down by our own
hands, which speak more in favor
of the "Lyon county bonanza" than
we could express in a column, and
an inspection of which we invite
from those who are skeptical. An
other 100 feet toward China, and we
shall expect the Amazon shaft to as
tonish even those most sangniue of
its value. We have always had
faith in this end of the Comstock,
and cite with pride the evidence
gwen of its intrinsic value in the
Lyon county bonanza.

A PLEASURE TRIp TO VIRGINIA.
A day or two ago two or three young
men who do not reside far from this
place. nigh, have been seen driving
pair of spanking cavios toward the
city of Virginia. in high glec. After
attending the tl,eater, they might have
also been seen crowding their way
through the busy streets of the city
OF Virginia, in the direction of the
stable where they had put up their
hroncns. The team WAS ordered, and
soon they were hitehed before one of
the finest of Silver's huggies. Then
came the troubles of the pleasure
seekers. The off horse got little off
and attempted t, move the wrong
why. Mt being able To make = ssc-
cess OF that. the horse soon attempted
t. stand on two feet and turn hack
sommersault. In this he succeeded,
rs the remaias of tbs vehicle will
plainly show. These Young men, u.-
daua,ed, assisted in coaxing the of
bronco 70 his feet, uahitched the two
from the broken fragments of the We
hicie and then commenced examin-
ing to ascertain the damage done. II
WAS finally thought that there was
still enough left of the carriage 10
make ii pay to return il to the livery
man in Silver, and in accordance the
break was tied and patched up and
the team re-hitched for another trial
This time il was success, and the
team moved in the right direction,
although ut grca; speesl-say a;io.
Arriving at Gold Hill the vehicle
could not be steercd any further, as
while the horses were going in one
direction the buggy was going anoth-
er, and it is thought that ii they had
continued ON their drive the team
would have been found AT Fort
Churchill while the buggy would
have reached Reno. The pleasure
trip was wound up by healthy walk
from Gold Hill to Silver. instead of
drive. We forbear mentioning the
names of the excursionists, as they
have relatives living on the coast, and
we do not wish TO injure their future
careers AS A. No. horseman.
