HERE AND THERE.

inc OF the 1readWay creek soWe"heHe east
Of the railway depot, fence it in nicely, pro-
vide suitable dressing rooms, etc, and pre-
sent it to our grateful countrymen as public
swimming pond or lake. We shall make it
deep enough to dive III, wide enough to give
bathers a good swim, and it will be long
enough-before it is finished But it will be
the best thing we ever built in Carson. 1t
is wonder We never built it before; but the
truth is We have not always thought of it
when we had the means, nor means enough
when we have thought of it, But it is
mere question of time We are determined
to give the boys Of Carson chance to learn
to swim.
We saw some specimens of ore which is
being extracted from the Cowing Il Zabriskie
mine yesterday. This mine is situated about
six or seven miles hence, on the east side of
the Carson River. It's groupings can be very
plainly traced The shaft from which this
ore Is taken is already sunk to the depth OF
IS feet. At this point the ledge has been
pierced to the width Of seven feet, and the
probability is that it is three or four times
that wide. The assays made of this ore
show all the way from $50 to $500 1t is
largely inpregnated with galena and carries
great deal of metal. Some preliminary ar
rangements have been made to test this ore
by the Invitation or teaching process. Here
then is what has the appearance or most
valuable piece of mining property; and II it
shall prove to be as good as appearances in
dictate, there are sound reasons for looking to
the building of all important mining camp
on the ledge, which is very extensive, being
easily traced for more than a mile.
Our little friend Libby Swift caught Dig
scare yesterday. She was out at her papa's goat
ranch and got herself mounted on the herd
ers horse for little ride. The animal,
usually very quiet, took fright at his unus
ual burden, and Libby, quite alarmed when
she found the horse about to run with her,
dropped the reins and stoutly grasped the
pommel of the saddle. Away went the pony, |
no little in his gait by Libby |
screams 1t was pretty perilous ride. The |
horse ran half way to town and then out into |
the sage brush commons before he was
caught OF course our little friend was more |
frightened than hurt, but the escape was none
the less fortunate. We congratulate all con
,erned that the outcome no worse.
Among late arrivals We note our old towns
man, Mr.. J. P. Hixon. Ills sojourn will be

vas sufficiently glorious to inspire all manner
# romantic IDEAS into sentimental heads.
Dne of the results Of this was that number
If matured girls, the social status of whom
We are not advised, but can will surmise,
lad themselves in the habiliments of the
terner sex and perambulated the back
Of the city. From all reports
We should judge they had a gay and festive
line But if they had fallen into the hands
If the police, the aspect of that masquerade
would have been materially changed.
A SMELL-The fastidious and sensitive
,lfactories of the old and young gentlemen
Who nightly sit in front of the Ormsby House,
discussing the affairs of nations, etc, etc,
re offended by the villainous, diabolical oder
which enters their nostrels from the defec-
i've drainage about that establishment. Not
My is this smell offensive to the regular hab-
tues of the Ormsby House, but passers-by,
fter nghtfall, are struck with this odoriferous
Nuisance. We invite the immediate attention
Street Inspector st Clair to this matte.
OPERA HoUsE.-This new structure is rap
lily nearing completion so far as its building
, concerned. Soon there will be heard within
hose Thespian walls the light taps of the up
olsterers tack hammer. Mr.. J. T. Preddey,
he Superintendent, is entitled to much
raise for the energy he displayed, firstly III
citing the public interested in this scheme,
nd secondly, for his admirable and able
supervision of the construction of the building
'reddey is a brick, and no one can gainsay it.
GEN. P. E. CoNNoR was in the city yester- i
ay, a guest of Capt. E. B. Zabriskie. The 4 4
aptain was for year or more Judge Advo-
ate on the Generals staff, and of course the ,
leeting between them partook of the proverb-
i cordially entertained by old comrades in
rms, one for another. The Generals visit
, Carson is entirely quiet and personal y
ne; but he finds many an old comrade to 5
i've him welcome. He will go to Virginia a
ity this morning.
