NEVADA TRANSCRIPT NOVEMBER 28 & 29, 1863 165
and the lots they occupy, will be sold in about six weeks. It is a fine site for business, and whoever gets
the place will probably not regret the purchase.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1863
Chas. Miller will open the National Exchange Restaurant, on Broad street, the old site of the United
States Hotel, today. Charley is determined to keep a first class Restaurant.
CITY HALL.—The city hall is completed and the Marshal has taken possession and is as cosy
as you please. The place where he keeps his preserves, just in the rear is going to be lined with boiler
iron, the old iron from the cells of the Court House having been granted for the purpose by the Board of
Supervisors.
UNION HOTEL.—Geo. S. Pierce has been employed as superintendent architect in the
construction of the Union Hotel on Main street and the work is crowded along wonderfully. A pile driver
has been improvised and works well. Where the ground requires it piles are driven and a mud sill rests
upon them. From the mud-sills cedar posts are used for underpinning. The sills and joists of the ground
floor of the main building are already laid. It is proper to say that the building has been set back two feet
beyond the range of other buildings on the street in order to allow a wide side walk and verandah in
front. This is an improvement which might have been bettered by putting the building back from two to
four feet more. Besides this improvement there is to be an alley on each side of the house, so that it will
join no other building and will be furnished with ample light for every purpose. George S. Pierce is a first
rate mechanic and will see that the work is done is style.
ARTEMAS WARD.—The lecture last night of this celebrity, was quaint and humorous as was
to have been expected. Owing to conscientious scruples on the part of Artemus, to having squalling
children in church, the “babes” were left in the woods. Artemus has a nose prominent as his bump of
fun, which is largely developed, but still he takes with the ladies, many of whom frequently remarked “te
he” during the course of the lecture. Ward, or rather [Charles Farrar] Browne, is a fellow who rolicks in
fun and makes money out of his wit. He had a good house last night, but we imagine, on account of the
peculiar condition of our town at this time, that he will have a better one at Grass Valley on Monday night
at which time he will exhibit the “babes” and relate their comic history.
