That, was I after ho had left tho Territorial Enter- t priso and had mndo hiB nom de plume well known in Nevada. While he was hero he wroto a daily dispatch to our V paper (the Torntorinl Enterprise) in Virginia Citv, and these dispatches were among the best things ho ever did. All that part of bis early writings are lost to posterity I bclievo. The fire that destroyed Virginia Citr years ago con-' con-' sunned the files of tho Territorial Enter- i prine, and a filo that was compiled at a cost of $10,000 by Flood and O'Brien and which was used to prove title to eorcs of mining cjaims. was donated to rho San Francisco public library, and it. too, was destroyed in the great fire of four 3'ears ago. "Clemens left San Francisco in 18UIJ, after ho had written 'Innocents i Abroad' ns a serial for the Alta, which was tho great paper bore in those days.

"He was of very I? temper.'ito habits," said Mr. Harrison, I "and was rather quiet and unobtru- l sivo.." I "It was said of Clemens that as a I reporter hero he had not the slightest I I conception of the value of news. He I , i would go to a coronor's inquest and ro- I port the prcceedincs after the manner I of a socielj' wedding, nnd ho would I1 writo up a wedding in tho style of a I prize fight.
