The Carnival is a success in every
way and those who have returned con-
firm the report that the shows along
the midway are up to date while Lit
tie Egypt is credited with being the
best dancer that ever hit the Com
stock which is saying considerable.
The other shows are worth the price
of admission.
So far the Comstock has handled
her crowds without trouble. The ar
rangements seem to have been well in
hand, as the crowds that have gone
up the hill is the largest that has ever
visited any one town in the State
Over in Reno they are going to tim
out in numbers today. The Wheelmen

Yesterday a number of mining men
arrived in this city. for points south

er and Mr. Livingston. who already
have interests in the neighbOrhOOd OF

mission of looking at other proper

They will leave for the scene of oper-

Another party arrived from Reno
and Immediately secured a team and
drove to the Golden Gate Mine. 1t
is understood that they will take up the
bond that Mr.. Wedekind holds as It
expires this week. The date run that
was made from ore from the mine
probably has something to do with
the rush to the scene.
Immediately after the Fourth an
other party of mining men will ar
rive and go south where they are in
