A CITY MOVING.

From recent SURVEYS it has been as
certained that the entire city of Vir-
ginia, Nevada, has moved over thirty
inches to the east since the big fire of
1875. The Maynard block, in Golden
Hill, IS known to be gradually sliding
down in the direction of Gold Canon,
and has moved nearly two feet since its
erection. This movement is so grad
ual that it does not affect in any man
ner the safety of the building, as the
ground to depth of nearly one hun
dred feet to the bed rock is known to
be continually sliding. 1t is a we'll
known fact among practical miners
that the ground on which Virginia City
is built is what is termed a slide, and
that it is necessary to sink nearly one
hundred feet before fn1ing the natural
bed rock. These slides are caused by
the constant crumbling of the rocks on
the mountain sides. The debris thus
accumulated through incalculable ages
is constantly gravitating downward, and
in few hundred thousands of years
what is known as the site of Virginia
City will be nothing but barren bed
rock, worn as smooth by the action of
the elements as the southern slope of
Sugar-loaf Mountain; and were it pos
sible for structures built by human
hands to withstand the decay of time,
the entire city itself would then have
been forced out on the flat between the
mouth of Six-mile Canon and the Car
son River Virginia Chronicle.
