A big Company.

The Comstock Mill and Mining Com
pany was incorporated December goth,
1855, with a capital stock Of sz5o, 900.
Senator John P. Jones, John w. Mackay
and other leading mining men are lead
ing members Of the company. The
recent transfer Of the Eureka mill, on
the Carson river, was made in order to
perfect the arrangements Of the new
company. Another organization which
will probably be heard from sooner or
later is the Nevada Mill and Mining
Company, which was incorporated
March 4th, 1855. 1t is understood that
members OF the Virginia City and Gold
Hill Water Company are the parties
principally interested In the latter.
The water company has plenty Of water
TO spare, and II is asserted that the
proposition will be to hydraulic down
Cedar Hill and wash out the gold that
is known to exist there. -Eee Lame.

TIL TanDed.

Last Monday night the railroad Office
was broken into and the money drawer
robbed Of about twenty dollars. The
thief made very bungling job. He
gained an entrance to the Office by
breaking out a window sash, and in
this operation, or in trying to force
open the drawer, he cut his hand, as
marks of blood were on everything that
he touched. An attempt was made to
get into the safe which contained some
$500 or $500, but without success. In
MS haste the thief overlooked SIS 50
that was IN the bottom Of the till. AS
yet no one has been suspected, but
there are several clues which if well
handled may lead 10 the arrest Of the
guilty party.

An article in the Sacramento ToHrna!
Of Commerce, on domestic produce, has
the following:
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Lyons, Of Lyons & Cur
tbs, wholesale dealers IN California pro-
duce, states as follows: The local sup
ply of potatoes raised in the immediate
vicinity is sufficient for the demand
during the Summer, and prices are reg :
ulated without regard to San Francisco
market, being generally as low, or low
er, but from October on more or less
Coast potatoes are used and sold at
same prices as by jobbers below, adding
the local freights. Large quantities are
also brought to this market from Utah
and Nevada. The potatoes from Ne.
vada are the best; those that come from
near Dayton, New, and are raised in
the sagebrush land are superior to all
others.

A NATURAL RESORT.

What improvements Could he
Made Mt Horse Shoe Lake.
AS the picnic season is near at hand,
it may be well to say something in re-
gard to the places where picnics are
generally held. Treadway's Park, in
Carson, has always been selected spot
by the Virginia City people. Steam
boat, has also come in for a good share
of patronage, while Horse Shoe Lake,
below Sutro, has had very few picnics
from outside towns. This lake and the
grounds surrounding it, are even now
conceded to be far superior to either
Carson or Steamboat for picnics, and
with few improvements in the way
of a new dance hall, some Of the brush
grubbed out, substantial landing or
two on the banks OF the lake, and a
boat or two, we believe that the Horse
Shoe could be made the finest picnic
grounds in the State. It's no more
trouble to come from Virginia City to
Sutro than it is TO go TO Carson or
Steamboat, nor does it take up all the
day coming and going. 1t is nice
pleasant drive from either Carson or
Virginia. Another thing that would
make this place attractive would be to
have some FISH planted in the lake so
that fishing could be one of the sports.
Other attractions could also be added
to the grounds, such as ten pin alley,
and gymnasium. And what is more,
the hot water that comes from the Sutro
Tunnel, could at a trife expense, be
brought to the edge Of the grounds, and
a few bath houses built, so that parties
SO desiring could indulge in a hot bath,
all the same as the Hot Springs at Car
son. OF course the water has not the
medicinal properties of the Carson
springs. but it is hot, and bath Of any
kind would be pretty good for some
picnickers. Without saying more about
it, we believe that the judicious ex.
penditure Of several hundred dollars on
these grounds would be a paying in
yestment for whoever makes these i'm
provements.

To Me W. IT., Wnrden and Brethren
fVaNey Lodge No. 8, n. rs Il. M:
Your Committee appointed to draft
Preamble and Resolutions expressive Of
the feelings of this Lodge upon the
death of our late Brother, John C.
Gruber, hereby respectfully submit the
following:
WHEREAS, In the dispensation OF the
Great Architect Of the Universe, our
beloved brother John c. Gruber, long
and intimately associated with us, was
called to exchange time for Eternity,
his death was sudden,
As falls a Chieftain on some stricken field.
Better one pang, one throb than weeks Of
pain and slow decay
Better these than writhe through weary days
and sleepless nights,
Awaiting the inevitable hour.
Honorable in life, prepared for death,
his career rounded and complete, crown.
ed with the love and respect of his com.
panions and family, he quietly passed
into that shadowy realm where his ex-
pectant spirit awaits their coming, there
fore,
ResofOed, That in the death of our
late Brother, our Lodge has lost one Of
its most active and devoted members,
one whose courtsey and brotherly al
lection was proverbial, and whose
charity was unbounded.
ResOiOed, That we extend to his
widow and orphans our deepest sympa-
thy in this sad hour of their bereave.
ment, and earnestly ask them not to
mourn as those without hope; for in a
little while ye shall meet again.
Resofoed, That the foregoing pre-.
amble and resolutions be spread in full
upon the records of the Lodge, and
that a copy Of the same, duly attested
by the officers under seal Of the Lodge,
be presented TO the family of our de-
ceased Brother.

tensive cattle ranch on the Carson river,
endeavored to get artesian water by
boring near Fort Churchill. They sunk
400 feet through quicksand and then
abandoned the we'll, and viii commence
another where they think the quicksand
siil be avoided. The machinery used
IN boring passed through on the c. 4 C.

BrotherIy Love.
From the Hen 9rHh.


The Rabbi Judah, so the scribes relate,
Sat with his brethren once in a warm debate
About those things which each considered
best
To bring to earth immunity and rest.
Then said the one requested to begin:
"Rest comes from wealth, If there be pc ace
within"
The second said: at springs from honest
fame,
And having all men magnify your name.'
The third said: "Rest is Deing truly great,
Coupled with power to rule some mighty
State"
The fourth said: "Such rest as we presage
Men only reach in the EXTREMIST age,
When wealth and power and fame unite to go
To children-and unto their children flow. g."
The fifth said; "All these various things are
vain;
Rest comes to those who all the law main
tain"
Then said the Rabbi Judah. grave and old,
The talleet of the group with him enrolled:
lyon all speak wisely, but no rest is deep
To him who the traditions fails to keep"
Now spoke fair haired boy up from the
grass
A boy of twelve who heard these words repass.
And dropped The lilies from his slender hands {:
NAY, father, none among YOU understands.
True rest he only finds who evermore
Looks rot behind, but to the things before;
Who, scorning fame and power and home and
pelf,
Loveth his brother as he loves himself"

She Would Rather Run the RisI.


There IS a law which compels hotel proprie-
tors to have some sort of a fire-escape in every
upper story room in their house. In the
Girard House the stvle of escape used consists
of a huge rope, with hooks to grasp the
widow ledge and a sliding arrangement by
which the guest may lower himself at what
ever speed he will. One of these is placed in
every apartment directly under one of the
windows, and as they are there for use rather
than ornament, their appearance does not
enhance the beauty Of the interior
The other day lady who wished room
was shown to one Of the most elegantly fur

from me CteDetdn0 EGdtH De6ter.
One day last spring pretty girl. probably
90 years OF age, walked into the Office of the
Bethel Associated Charities and asked for the
matron. Mrs. Il. G. Parmelee responded to
the call and inquired the young lady's bust
ness. She said that she was an American
girl and had just arrived in Cleveland from
her home in Philadelphia. She was out OF
money, had no work and wanted to receive a
position as servant in a respectable family.
While the girl was in the office E. e. Vorce
entered the room and asked the m atron il she
could find HIM good girl. His attention
was called to the young lady, and after a short
conversation he offered her place IN his
family. Nothing more was heard from the
girl until last Saturday, when Mr.. Norco
called again at the Bethe Office and asked the
matron to send HIM another girl. MIR. Norce
stated that the girl from Pennsylvania was n
Jewel, but was about to leave his family and
he wanted another. He said that on Satur-
day morning the young lady had received
letters from Philadelphia announcing the
death OF n relative, and asking her to be in
the city by Dec g. as enc had fallen heir to
an estate valued at $250,000. The lnforma-
ton. Mr.. Vorce said, was official.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-The Empress of Russia ia
coming to spend most of the winter at Nice,
thus emphasizing in the strongest possible
manner the re- establishment of amicable re-
latlons between the two nations. She has
rented one OF the finest mansions there. with
two adjoining ones for her attendants, and
already eight car loads of furniture and car
rlages have been sent thiCher. Stable room
has been provided for 100 Cossack horses,
which, with their riders. will form her guard
OF honor when she rides out.
A curious bit of comedy, meiodrama, or
what you VIII, is connected with this visit of
the Empress. Let me relate 1t. The Prln-
cess Dolgorouki also intended to spend the
winter at Nice. She was, you know. the late
cars morganatic wife. She also was his IN
hefitor to the extent Of $50, 000,0 coo or more.

Make my establishment" she telegraphcd
to her steward, "the finer of the TWO, no
matter what 1t costs" As fate would have II,
the house of the Princess was nearly opposite
that secured for the Empress, and the Dol
goroukl prepared utterly to outshine the wife
of the Car. Why not She is the richer of
the two, and her ancestors, the Dol
goroukIs, were great Lords before the Roman
offs were heard OF. But when the Empress
heard of it! All, there was agitation. II
VIII not have that woman there!" she cried,
But what to do? A telegram was dispatched
TO Nj de Freycinet: Tine Princess Dolgor-
ouki would be disagreeable neighbor to her
majesty" That put the astute Minister to
his wits end. He went to see the Princess.
He gave her all sorts of hints. She mis-
chievously declined to take them. Finally he
told her plainly that he would prefer her not
to go to Nice. "The government of France"
he said, will amply repay Nine. la Prlncesse
for whatever loss she may sustain by thus
altering her plans; but" "But 1 will
sustain no loss" exclaimed she, "for will
not change my plans. Does the government
of France prefer the sister in-law of an Or
leanist to me So. But | will go to Nice. You
cannot expel me. l am not a pretender to the
throne. You cannot send me % New Gale
dOnia. / am not criminal" Well. what?
N. de Freycinet was bafiled, but not beaten.
He went home and set the secret service ma
chinery at work. Presently the Princess
Dolgorouki received number of Ninilist
papers threatening her life. Then plot was
exposed by which she and the Empress and
all the Russians who might go to Nice were
to be blown up with dynamite. Then 1t was
rumored that, because of these plots, the En-
press had decided not to visit Nice. The
Princess became thoroughly alarmed gave
up her establishment at Nice and determined
to go elsewhere. So the Empress may enjoy
her winter at Nice undisturbed by the pres
ence of any left handed" relatives.
