SroI.r Al PyrAs;ip I.AHi:.-.t gentle
man who arrive,. at Virginia City on
Wednesday from Pyramid Lake in
forms Tie Enterprise that III places on
the lake are 10 tie seem thousands of
pelicans, gals, ducks, geese and other
waterfowl. The peiicaus often 81 gorge
themselves with fish that they viii
hardly attempt TO fly when approach
ed by the hunter, and may be shot by
- !. = l., CD.
The trouble is, As regards the peIIcanS,
that thew are worth nothing when shot,
unless u market could be found for
their feathers and skins. At present
(nerc is not much fishing Oh the lake:
most Of the fish caught are taken in
the TruclCe river some distance
above where IL emp;ieS into the AXE.
There are Quite 4 number of men 1T
work II the mines near the lake and
some excellent prospects are being OBJ
tained though The Veins are generally
rather narrow. Wood and water are
very scarce in the immediate vicinity
OF the mines.
The Republican ratification meeting
Oh the 9Th lust, is going TO surpass
anything in tie way Of political gather
inss ever seen in this State. Our County
Committee are constantly at work per
fectipg the arrangements and enlarglOg
the scope of their plans. We see that
Congress IS likely to adjourn BY next
Saturday. This would give Senator Jones
ample time TO be here and take part in
the meeting-as ne Is advertised to do.
Among others who have been invited: to
he present is Hon. Geo. c. Gorham, Sec
rotary OF the United States Senate. is
quite probable that he will be here some
time during this campaign even II his
coming should be delayed past the time
for this big ratification meeting. We are
glad to note that Governor Woods of
Oregon is announced as one OF the
speakers. There are few better stumpers
than be. We believe that Hon. Tom
Fitch has also been invited.
TKE balcony Of the Ornsby House is
to be- extended, streetwards, SO as to
conform in width to the balconies of the
rest VI the block. Already the hand
some new sidewalk is nearly completed.
When the balcony extension is finished
the block from north TO south VIII be
very handsomely fronted. All those
dangerous things, the swinging signs
now hanging across the walk are to
come down. Such recorstF1 :tion is II
very handsome improvement and asserts
the fact that the town still has a little
life under its dull exterior.
ASSESSMENTS An assessment of ff-
teen cents q snare has been levied 10y
the Amazon Mining Company, and a
similar Jne by the Glasgow Mining
Company, both delinquent on the 18th

CHARLEY PALMER, the good, is again
among US. He has set up his modest
commercial itinerary opposite the court
house door and there amid the glare OF
