154 The Mining andl Srientific ress, ———s Too Truz.—tThe following picture of the miner’s life, by a letter writer who visited Virginin City the first of the month—pay-day —portrays in colors too true the end and aim of a large class of those who, thongh pioneers in discovering and invaluable as the bone aud sinew to open and develop mines, are good for nothing to themselves, always drudging and always complaining of the hard fate meted out to them : “Virginia is lively, the city is astir with busy life, and its pulses throb with feverish excitement — alarming fact but true, why? Every thirty daysall the mines and mills of Storey county and adjacent burgs pay off their corps of employees, and for afew days thereafter whisky shops, hurdy-houses, theaters and red-curtained palaces thrive on the toil— strained gold of the “honest miner.” Soon he gets broke, and until another thirty days roll around on heavy clogged wheels, the poor devil has only to work, work, work, and the city has only to wag, wag, wag, as slow as stuges, until old gunny-sacks pays off the redbrawned muscle that makes a monthly fool of itself.” Trades and Manufactures.
