VIRGINIA CRY, April 27.- Especial -
Placer mining in Alder gulch by the respec-
tive companies has just begun, and it is
thought that the season for mining will
necessarily be of much longer duration than
it was last year, there being much more
snow on the mountains than there was last
season. The weather being unusually cold
for this time of the year, has retarded the
progress of mining for the present to some
extent; but as it always requires some pre-
liminary work preparatory to such opera
ton, no time has yet been lost.
Stockmen have suffered considerable by
losses, all having lost more or less. Ever
those who had plenty of feed and were feed
ing their stock lost some. They say that
they have not lost nearly as many as they
had anticipated.
Quartz mining interests, which have been
carried slowly on, it is thought by sage ex-
perts, about to assume shape which is un-
mistakably tangible, and indeed, the new
discoveries which are being made and re-
suits of the development of the old mines
really Justify such sanguine hopes as are
INDUCED in.
On the Madison divide, about 3 miles
distant from this city, is a mine called the
Bertha the property of Kellogg d Mann
ing, on which considerable work had been
done during the past year and which has,
in the opinion of all the experts who visited
it, the characteristics of being as good a
mine as there is in the state. So much has
been thought of this mine that company
consisting of S. Il. Buford, Henry Filing,
r. J. Farrell, Geo. F. Cope and j. Allen
hired prospectors to find an extension of
the mine, and their efforts to that effect
were not unavailing, for few days since
the prospectors discovered vein seven feet
in width. The discovery created intense
excitement and quite number went to the
place to prospect for other extensions.
There is nothing to prevent this from be-
coming as notable quartz camp as there
is in the state and the development of our
mines at the head of Alder gulch, Browns
gulch and various other adjacent quartz
regions is steadily progressing.
At the head of old Alder gulch there are
seven companies representing large capital
about to commence, and, indeed, some
have been working there for the past two
years on the gravel beds, which have been
examined by experts in such mines, and
who have satisfied the companies that their
extensive operation will be crowned with
ample success. These companies are made
up of gentlemen from Bohemian and Butte,
and it is rumored that they intend to COM
bine and bring the West Fork of the Madi-
son to their aid in working these extensive
mines. It is thought that the history of
Virginia City and Aldger gulch will repeat
itself.

Stable EQus nimity.

A young girl, tall, with wide blue eyes,
still innocent of evil, got into Madison
avenue car at Eighty-frst street last Sun
day morning. She carried in her lap a
prayer book and in her hand novel-one
of those paper bound novels with the title
standing out in bold relief. Her expression
was SO demrre that the three men in the
car would have sworn she cared more for the
prayer book than the novel. At Eightieth
street a severe looking man and his wife. both
gray haired, took the car. The older
woman looked across at the young girl,
at her novel and prayer book. frowned n
little and turned and whispered something
to her husband. He was little deaf. the
car made good deal of noise, so he put his
hand to his ear and said "What?" His
wife repeated her remark little louder,
and still he could not hear. Finally she
shouted in thin treble so that all the car
could hear: II think it is shame to see q
young woman with a bible and novel;
her thoughts are all on the novel. and she
would better have left the bible at home"
Everybody looked at the girl with the
novel. but she stared calmly ahead. and
pretended to have heard nothing.-New

a Lie About the Broadwater.

1t seems that some malicious person has
started the story that the ice taken from
the Broadwater lake is from sewage emp
tied from the hotel and water from the
plunge. This is false in every particular.
The lake was filled last fall with pure water
from the pipe line, and from this the finest
quality of ice WAS obtained. The sewage
and water from the plunge empty into a
canal 200 from the lake. This O. washed
away from the overflow, which is now quite
large. One of the best features about the
Rroadwater hotel is the admirable sanitary
system. Any story that this is open to the
slightest criticism is false.
