Nevada now boasts of long rows of handsomely and firmly built brick stores and houses, which will forever be a those in the past, to say nothing at this point of her splendidly organized Fire Department. On both sides of Broad street, on Main street, and on Commercial, there-are as fing brick buildings erected as ean he seen in any city, and an hundred per cept. ‘more durable and better built than ning-tenths of the brick coffins erected. in-San Francisco, All these stores are occupied by busy merchants, whose stocks of goods have been selected with great care, not onlyia San Francisco, but in the East, many of their goods being importations direct from the Atlantic-and European markets. I must confess I saw fewer unoceupied stores in Nevada, than any other place outside of San Francisco, that Ihave been in to be steadily going ov. At the left hand side of the upper end of Broad street, nt a three stury brick hotel was. being erected by. A ‘a Mr. Bailey, which when finished will be a credit to the place, Other improvements are projected, of which, however, I will not now apeuk, but will reserve allusions to them until another portion of these notes, Already immense amounts. of gold have been taken from the hills surrounding Nevahad in the matter, and forming my opinions from conversations with those who have beon steadily engaged here and hereabouts in min. * ing, T am forced to the conclusion, that THE riches of Nevada are yet to be yielded up. When I hear of miners paying $35,900 for “a hole in the ground,” that looks as if (tomake an Irish bull) it was filled up with the meannest of blue dirt; I must believe the bowels of the earth will be moved to will leave upon the surface of thy miner's work the richness sought after. . I believe that the old days of prosperity will return to Nevada, and éxcept the memories kept green for these who perished, and lie in the little grave yard on the hull side, all else of the saddening devastation will be fergotton.” Ina closirg paragraph, Mr. Boruck pays me handsome compliments to the Nevada ia which he manages to transform our Skelien, editor of the TRanscnirT is guilty of the crime of age!

In close. coinmunion with the newly discovered mineral country ; in an easy and direct line of communication with all portions of the State, Nevada, the Queen. city. of the mountains, holds a commandi kind, hospitable aud entertaining. . Her ye iness men thriving, energetic and honorable ; and her general appearance prepossessing ‘to «degree, which_cannet.fail to elieit the ade. ‘miration of all. Nevada now boasts of long rows of handsomely and firmly built brick stores and houses, which will forever be a those in the past, to say nothing at this point of her splendidly organized Fire Department. On both sides of Broad street, on Main street, and on Commercial, there-are as fing brick buildings erected as ean he seen in any city, and an hundred per cept. ‘more durable and better built than ning-tenths of the brick coffins erected. in-San Francisco, All these stores are occupied by busy merchants, whose stocks of goods have been selected with great care, not onlyia San Francisco, but in the East, many of their goods being importations direct from the Atlantic-and European markets. I must confess I saw fewer unoceupied stores in Nevada, than any other place outside of San Francisco, that Ihave been in to be steadily going ov. At the left hand side of the upper end of Broad street, nt a three stury brick hotel was. being erected by. A ‘a Mr. Bailey, which when finished will be a credit to the place, Other improvements are projected, of which, however, I will not now apeuk, but will reserve allusions to them until another portion of these notes, Already immense amounts. of gold have been taken from the hills surrounding Nevahad in the matter, and forming my opinions from conversations with those who have beon steadily engaged here and hereabouts in min. * ing, T am forced to the conclusion, that THE riches of Nevada are yet to be yielded up. When I hear of miners paying $35,900 for “a hole in the ground,” that looks as if (tomake an Irish bull) it was filled up with the meannest of blue dirt; I must believe the bowels of the earth will be moved to will leave upon the surface of thy miner's work the richness sought after. . I believe that the old days of prosperity will return to Nevada, and éxcept the memories kept green for these who perished, and lie in the little grave yard on the hull side, all else of the saddening devastation will be fergotton.” Ina closirg paragraph, Mr. Boruck pays me handsome compliments to the Nevada ia which he manages to transform our Skelien, editor of the TRanscnirT is guilty of the crime of age!
