There are deserted towns in Neva-
da, but they are not Old ones. A few
years ago the population Of Hamilton
is said to nave been nearly 5000, o!
Treasure Hill C.O0Q, Of Shermantown
1000, Of Swansea 5000. All were
incorporated, with Mayor, Council
fire department and daily newspa-
pars. Hamilton has now about lOO
inhabitants, most Of them are merely
waiting in dreary naction for some
thing TO turn up. Treasure Hill has
about h'li as many, ,Shermantown one
family, aud Swansea none. In one
canyon Of the ToiyaLe range, near
Austin, are five dead towns without
a slngle inhabitant. The streets aad
blocks graded on the hillsides are
rapidly falling back into the wilder
ness.
