Virginia City, New, has sixteen faro
games, all situated in G Street, at the
rear of principal saloons. The propri-
etor of one OF the most flourishing faro
banks says that the expenses of running
the games, exclusive of license, foot up
at S27, 400 year. From the first to
the fifteenth Of the month, the time at
which the miners are flush, most Of the
games run three shifts of eight hours
each, thus employing six dealers and
three case keepers. After the middle
of the month the business slackens, and
only one or two of the games runs more
than two shifts. Every bank pays year
ly license of $1,000 making the COM
Portable total of S2s, 400.
A popular delusion prevails that faro
is conducted son the square " in Vir-
ginia. The fact that the owners of
the games live, as a general thing. in
about as handsome houses as can be
seen in tho city, and that they are
themselves behind fast horses in G
Street, counts for nothing with the
gambling Comstocker, who invariably
has his "system nearly perfected,
and is sure to % bust the gamen before
long. This ardently longed-for tri-
umph is occasionally achieved. Within
the last six months no less than four
games have been cleaned out. They
were, however, comparatively poverty
stricken concerns, having only 50, 00C
IOr SO, 900 capital. Most OF the banks
now running have backing of from
$4,000 TO 100000, and one Institution
has 100000 as q foundation.
] The largest winning reported so far
TINS. year was made by a teamster, who
got aNssy with over 5000, and left the
bank wfseck. On the other hand the
losses have bten extremely heaYY. 0nf
well known gambler here, who woulA
pass anywhere for the father of pros-'
porous family, mas lost $4,000 at faro
within the last four months. Apropos
of this gentleman, heard good lit
tie story the other day. He and some
other professional had been losing
frightfully, and some desperate gtep
was necessary TO raise the wind. A
neat plot was Matched. Free drinks Is

and brings in the liquor and cigars
on a tray. The waiter Of
