Autobahnen und Nebenstreben der Pazifikküste. Beim Auslaufen des Erzes an den Wänden der Minen. Die Menschen im verbrannten Viertel hatten über alles, was sie tun wollten, um mit dem zu entkommen, was sie hatten, und sehr wenig wurde gerettet.Eine Weile lang könnte keine Art von angemessenem Schutz für die meisten Obdachlosen schadlos sein. Und viele Familien würden Decken über den Sagebürsten zurechtstreten und unterkriechen.Wir gingen sofort zur Arbeit, um wieder aufzubauen, und vierzig Fiederschläge am Tag kamen von Carson, der grub-und-Vorräte brachte.

Highways and byways of the Pacific coast . racing the walls ofthe mines when the ore was taken out. The people inthe burned district had about all they wanted to do toescape with what they had on, and very little was saved.For a while no sort of adequate shelter could be hadfor most of the homeless, and many families would juststretch blankets over the sagebrush and crawl under.We went to work at once to rebuild, and forty-fivetrains a day came in from Carson bringing grub andsupplies. But the city was never the same afterward.The buildings were thrown up in a hurry, and theydont stand the test of time. Pretty soon the town beganto dwindle down, and a good many of the mines wereabandoned. As they got deeper they became moredifficult to work, and there was serious trouble withhot water in them, and, besides, the price of silver haddropped. A few mines are still in operation and areadding to their owners wealth, and there is someprospect that things may be brighter in the future; butVirginia City will never again be what it was..

Everyone talked mines and ore, and of fortunesmade and lost. Such talk was especially rife at the timeof my visit because there were reports of a great dis-covery twenty-five
