The Footlight, in speaking of affairs
on the Comstock, says the situation in
Virginia City is about as follows: Dur
ing the absence of Mackay and Fair from
this city large amount of necessary
work upon certain mines in which they
hold large interest will be performed.
That work is now being carried forward.
Before long both Fair and Macky will
arrive in Virginia City and their advent
will be the signal for big upheaval-
founded for the most part on merit. No
doubt a number of our mining securities
will see high figures All of them will
advance many grades of per cent. But,
mark our words, you who are fortunate
to "get in" and ride up on the next rise
it will be your last chance. There is no
doubt but what tho citizens of Virginia
will be given another chance to retrieve
their losses. 1t will not be given them
because Of any regard fen toward them
by the men in power. The people know
this well. The opportunity will be given
for the simple reason that our wealthy
mining men have invested mammoth
sum in our mines and they are going to
make great effort to get their money
back. Let the people adopt the same
rule Of action. When the time comes get
your money back also, If you can, and
then turn your faces toward newer pas
lures.

A late advertisement in these columns cau- tions the public against buying sewing ma chimes Ion comparisons" especially where the real merit lies in the arrangement of the working parts. I would respectfully inquire where merit ought to lie. Outward appear ances never yet made any machine better to my knowledge. The 18th of last May I took the agency of the Household" and I can only express my satisfaction at its unprece- dented success, and every sale has been eff fected by conclusively showing the superior ity of it's mechanism combined with elegant externals, and I urgently invite every one to inspect it critically. A purchasing employe of a large Railroad Company lately said to me: If you have machine made and warranted by the Providence Tool Company there is nothing more to be said" and as the "Household" is 'tmade and warranted by the Providence Tool Company" have nothing more to say.
