Visit to Virginia City is a step into American history The town has a permanent population of about 400 persons * Many private homes and elegant Victorian mansions, of pioneers who struck it rich, are being restored and preserved by interested citizens, civic and historic organizations In the 1850’s and 1860 s the area around Virginia City was populated by people living in tents, clap board shantys and even holes dug in the side of hills Tales of instant wealth, mountains of gold, and imaginations and dreams running wild, brought an invasion of

honest prospectors, investors, hoodlums, con artists, and many a starry eyed tenderfoot, all seeking their fortune. The veins of gold and silver ore ran under the streets of the city. What remains as home to a few hundred and a tourist attraction to thousands is a monument to an explosive and colorful era in the building of America. Many a fortune was made with back breaking work and lost with a roil of the dice or turn of a card. Mrs. McNaab described the deep blue beauty of Lake Tahoe as “Overwhelming.” The majestic pine forests that grow around the Lake create a picturesque “Lake In The Sky.” The water is so crystal clear Mrs. McNaab was able to take photographs of the lake bottom at a distance of nearly a hundred feet \ Asked what ntempngs- she would like most to share Mrs. McNaab stated: “The 13 foot tall figure of an elegantly gowned lady superimposed on an old wall in Virginia City. The lady's gown was made completely of real silver dollars, and attending services at Saint Theresa's Church in Carson City.” The church is approximately 100 years old.

Letters to the Editor

Mr. Lilly was good to me!

Dear Editor: In regard to the recent death of the great Mr. Eli Lilly I read in The Mail-Journal all of the nice things area people said about him I thought I would write my feelings toward Mr. Lilly. My mother works out at Mr.

Wed., Feb. 2,1977 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Lilly’s cottages on Lake Wawasee. My sister and I were invited out to swim at his piers any time we wanted. I never thought twice about going up and talking to him. Mr. Lilly knew so much about the lakes and Syracuse. It was very interesting

just to sit and talk to him. It wasn’t unusual for Mr. Lilly to ask us up for a Coke and a chat. On December 31, 1975, my family went to his estate in Indianapolis. Mr. Lilly gave us a tour of his great mansion. It is a house I will not soon forget. But my point is that Mr. Lilly was good to me, a teenager, and treated me like an important person. I am gang to miss him greatly. I consider it an honor just to have known him. Jo Hamell
