in Silver City or Virginia City who
believes il? Is there anybody who,
in this enlightened age, will give
credence to any report which even
hints ut the possibility of undersell-
ing Banner Bros. clothing house,

be done. No one can give you as
excellent an article of clothing for
as little money as this popular es-

impossible to reach the extreme low

GONG TO CARsoN.-We under
stand that Mrs. l.. B. Moore APP
peared in the Opera House, at Car
son, Tuesday and Wednesday.
with quite a number of Virginia
amateur performers of both sexes.
Mrs. Helen Marble joins Mrs.
Moore on these evenings, and adds
greatly to the entertainments.
Mrs. Moore is an active, pert and
jaunty petite performer, who is
certain to fully meet the expecta-
tions of her patrons. With such
able support, we doubt not that
they will draw full houses. By
the-bye, why can't some enterpris-
ing ten-thousand dollar man put
up snug little dramatic building
in the Capital of the State? 1t
will never be a bonanza under the
most favorable circumstances, still
it will pay good interest, and be a
credit to the city. AS it is, the
people of Carson are certain to lose
many excellent opportunities Of
seeing the celebrities of the world
as they pass from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.

SENSIBLE PEoPLE.-As the spring
weather begins to dry up our high
ways, the bon ton citizens of Yir-
ginia show their good sense in
taking an afternoon drive down
through our thriving little city on
to the Carson, and back again to
Mount Davidson before the shades
of night fall upon their pathway.
There is little or no snow now on
Slippery Gulch, and none at all in
Silver City. For couple of miles
north of this, the roads are excel
lent, and the gentlemen who de-
light to hold the lines find a short
drive very exhilarating. Yesterday
quite a number of parties passed
up and down the road, and some of
them seemed to be happy and gay
as CLANS at high tide. Our devil,
who had a little leisure yesterday,
took special pleasure in saluting
them as they passed our sanctum,
with the friendliest kind Of au
reyoir."

SHALL WE HAVE ANOTHER Lee
rURE?-On Thursday, after the lee
taro, many expressed the wish that
Mrs. Stenhouse would deliver her
lecture here on Brigham Young
the head and front Of Mormonism.
1t is difficult for many to under
stand how any intelligent person
could remain passive in Mormon
ism under man so grossly brutal
and vindictive as the Mormon
Prophet. In her third lecture,
Mrs. Stenhouse throws a flood OF
light upon the past, present land
future of Mormonism, and sums up
the Prophet as a mixture of fanatic
and knave. If our citizens desire
to hear the lady, we shall invite
her to speak again some time next
week-if she remains in Nevada.

SOME DIFFERENCE.-We met q
gentleman yesterday in Virginia
who had telegraphed to a San
Francisco paper on Saturday that
he had visited a mine on the Com
stock lode, and the body of ore
that he examined was 40 feet wide.
He was Mortified to read yesterday
that the telegraph operator had
made the figures 400! Operators
in general way are a good sort OF
fellows, but their mistakes are
sometimes decidedly awkward. 1t
