THE 1iIG BOXANZAS OF SIN A1)
C(iJEJ.
A Scene; of Ga.mnbling Hells, Opium
Dons, and Liquor Saloons--A Fasi
nating, Picturosque Town.
(Jrrespndence of the Philadelphia Times.
The most striking featuro of C
street, the main thoroughfare of Vir
ginia City, Nevada, is its long array of
drinking saloons. No effort is made
by the owners of these establish
1plnts to shield their patrqns from
public viev by erecting a screen or
other device boforo the outer doors,
as is cusLomary in most cities, nor
do the patrons of the bar seem to
care for the eyes of passers-by
when libations are being passed over
the bar. M ost of the establishments
go so far in the display of their
interior as to open the whole
front of tho building so that en un
Obstructed view may be had ; and
there is much real business method
in this, as the attention of every one
is thus dirawni to the glare and glit.
ter of the massive bars and their
elegant surroundings. Everything
that human ingenuity and artistic
sWll can devise to make the Baceha.
nalian resorts attractive is adopted.
Nowhere on the continent are the
driaking establishments more clabo.
rate than here. A bit of dust is the
more common charge, though some
of the older saloons adhere to the
old times rate of two bits-twenty
live cents. The bar-keepers are all
well paid, receiving as they do from
$100 to 1 J50 per month, according
to the standing of the saloon and its
run of custom. A fact in connec
tion with these drinking dives may
startle the Eastern reader, and it is
no less than that there is one saloon
to every one hundred residents of
the city. An inspection of the
license collector's books developed
this astounding state of affairs. At
the present time that official is col
lectiig license fees from oio hun
dred and fifty saloons in Virginia
City, and froiu sixty in Goid Hill.
The bars generally average from
$50 to $200 per day. Their doors
are never closed-day and night
thosp whiskey mills run with the
same unceasing regularity as do the
grout mills of the silver mines. The
bulk of the customers take whisky 1
straight ; it is the local drink, and
but few fancy decoctions are im
bibed.
oAMES OF CHANCE.
The profits of the saloon do not
lie wholly in the sales of beverages,
About one-fourth of their number
run gambling games which seduce
miner and merchant alike. There
are eighteen games of faro running,
with numerous rackets loss proton
tiour. Thee cause coin to flow
rapidly into the coffers pf the houses,
and desp~ite the fact which is patent
to nearly everybody tha~t gambling
is ultimately a losing game to all
except the professionals, yet such is
its fascination that scores and hun
dreds gi men may be seen nightly
crowded around the gapaing tableB,1
venturing their coin against that of
the "ban)g." The harvest time of
the gamblers is shortly after the
first of each month, when the minors ~
a
are paid off. Then thousands upon ~
thansqnds of dollars are distributed
among the hardy toilers. When
they arc flssh theuy are reckless, and
ioon the bulk &f their hard earned ~
weges finds its vay into the hands of ~
the scheming manipulatiors of the
sar4s and the chips.
or1LED cRnIE.t
TheO State protects gaipbling and ~
nany other immoralities, which, I
ni the older eqmnmun itius are der ~
rioreinated crimes and puiihed as
moch. A heavy license foe furnishes
ihe imunity from legal ,'vrathi. Tho
farnbling, or faro, privilogQ is $470 e
por quarter ; liquor licony', 41; and I
.n addition to these, the United '
Btatt~s revenue on liquors and on r
sigars is co~llected annually. A '
sharge of five dollars per quarter is "
ndo ypon each billiard tzUble. The t
~lealers and cage-keepers arie paid c
rrom 7,50 to $19Q per day each, and ?
*I
a night and a day set of tliloo men
are cryployed fo run the .games. 8
After dusk .these gamblin'g hells ~
present a fascinating and animated ~
%ppearance. Throng upon throng I
pass in and opt continuougly, while 9
the payieens jn front are so dense- ~
ly crowded by loitering meon, soe
half-seas over, and others nearly
so, that it is -with great difficult -
pedestrians .a age to paus thirough
the surging crowds. So great is
tho evil that few respectable women
go out after sundown, unless accomn
panied by a male escort ; and they
havo good reason for adopting this
I)rudential course, as many of tho
more frail of their sex promenado
with brazon effrontory among the
Swaying nlass of men. Those
women dress, in ilks and jowolry,
Which may, in many instances be
valucd at hundreds and thousands
f dollars, and all this tawdry is
aid for out of the earnings of the
prolhigato miners.
OPIUMI sMSOKINo.
Amid numerous other vices rapid
y growing and extending is opium
imoking. This was introduced by
Aho Asiatic element in our midst,
md many of the Caucasians' have
uindly taken to this debauchery. In
ho lower portion of the city,
ind somwvhiat isolated, stand
Ahirty or forty low, rough-board
)mildings, and they constitute
vhat are familiarly known as
Jhinatown. Some of these are
vash-houses, and a few aro stores.
'bout a dozen of them have apart
nonts fitted as opium-smoking
lens, and the patrons of these es
ablishmnents are ifunorous and va'
ied. The inhalation of the smoko
rom the burning narcotic furnishes
source of plneIure not only to tho
lebased celestials and the demi.
nonde, each of which indulge in
his pastime to an inordinato ex
,Uit,but merchants, their wives,
heir sons and their daughters may
)> frenquently found in those haunts
ndulging in this soul and body do
troying luxury. The Chinese who run
hose opium dens do so under the
'over of a mercantile license, for
vhich they pay eleven dollars per
uarter, and for this paltry suin they
re allowed to pursue this debasing
raffic. The opium is prepared for
manoking in the form of a paste
rhich is highly aromatic by reason
>f heing compounded with spices. It
s placed in handsome pipes with
ong stems, and, reclining upon a
1do couch, the snoker takes long
vhit's at short intervals. The no
nitiate can seldom exhaust, a pipe,
mit in the course of time the devo
oo of this baneful practice can con
lmo from five to aix pipes of the
>pimn compound. The simokor ox
)eriences a dreamy sort of intoxi
ation, and when indulging too
reely becomes thoroughly stupefiod.
Vlile in this somi-unconscious con
lition, tho victim is stowed away in
ho low narrow bunks of the Chinese
mtil awakened from the unnatural
omnolence. Then he or sho de
)arts, only to make another visit
vithin a day or two. The most do
)rocatory phase of this opium smok
ng is that boys and girls from ton
o eighteen years of age and of re
poetablo parentage, indulge in it to
great extent. Thoir minds, bodies,
.nd morals are injured by the fasci
tating vico, which in a short time
>ecomos a fierce passion that can
Lot easily be sub:!d. A charge of
wenty-fivo cents per pipe is madec,
.nd the Chinese who run those
mnoking establishiments derive a
irgo and profitable income there.

As an exemplificatioin of how vice
