Text Appearing Before Image:
Stage Routes to Lake Tahoe.—A favorite route to Lake Tahoe is via Carson City. It maybe more easily reached and seen on the westward tour than to wait and include it on the eastward return. After a visit to Virginia City, the tourist will return to Carson City, remain over night at a good comfortable hotel, the Ormsby House,—whose proprietor considers it "the highest toned hotel in Nevada," and next morning, at 8.30 A.M., take Benton's Stage for Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe. By Thomas Moran.
To visit and make the circuit of the lake, and return to Carson will require at least 18 hours, but most tourists will find it desirable to stop at the little hotel on the opposite side of the lake, and return via Truckee, thus seeing greater variety of scenery. Tourists by this route to Virginia City, Carson and Tahoe, will be obliged to leave the Overland Western train at Reno, about 11.40 p. m., and a comfortable nights rest can be enjoyed at the Railroad Hotel. In the morning a train leaves at 7.35 A. M., and arrives at Carson at 9.00; after taking one hour for breakfast, the tourist can either proceed to Virginia City and spend the day, or take immediate departure for Lake Tahoe. Private team or special stage can be engaged at Benton's by any party, for a ride to the Lake at any special time. On this route there is the best known of all California stage-drivers, who have reined kyuse or mustang horses,—the modest Hank Monk. His first fame was not on the platform of Faneuil Hall in oratory, but
