with all its disadvantages, the
fieeces of the Merino Sheep have
been increased. In the last twenty
five years, from an average OF four
pounds to ten and twelve pounds,
and in extraordinary cases as high
IL twenty eight pounds OF the finest

! MOflng City.

The Virginia City, Nevada, Enter
prise says:
Soar town is very slowly moving to
the eastward down the face of the
mountain. This is owing to the set
Ting Of the ground over the bonanza
mines. AS all the town is going to.
gether it is not much noticed on the
surface, where no cracks are seen.
The water and gas companies are bet.
Ter acquainted with the movements
taking place in the ground forming the
site Of the town than most others, as
the instability Of the earth tells upon
their pipes. GA B and G streets the
ground is moving both north and east.
4 water main, running north and south,
uncovered yesterday, was found to be
telescoped to the distance OF over a
foot, and beside had in it great kin'l
which made it necessary to take out 8
piece nearly twa feet in length. Ahont
the Consolidated Virginia Pan Mill the
pipes are crowding in from both east
and west at least. owing to the set
Ting Of the ground in that neighbor-
hood, there appear to be two move
ments. Although there are as yet no
cracks in the central part of the town
there is large one to the westward.
Toward the north this crevice is about
eight inches in width. aud the grouai
on the east side Of i; is about three feet
lower than tie west side. Captain
Overtor. Of the Water Company. whose
opportunities for observing these move
mcnts are unsurpassed, says that as the
ground settles over the bonauzas, that
on the slope Of the mountain, where it
is not much undermined. gradual y
moves down. He says the Interna
,ional Hotel has moved east about five
inches since 1t was built such is
the case. all the buildings in that part
of the town, with the ground on which
they stand, must have moved the same
distance, as no cracks are to be seen in
