ARTISTIC RAMBLINGS.

A Comstocker's Professional and Mining Meanderings Up and Down the Coast.

Charley Noe, who arrived from Oregon the other day on a visit to his dear old mother, was, like his brother John who died a few months ago, among the earliest and best photographic artists in this city. Last week he was shown a "sun-pearl" portrait of a well-known resident friend, which he took on the face of a watch twenty years ago. It looks as bright and fresh as when first taken.

During his ten years' absence from the Comstock, Charley has ranged the Pacific Slope quite extensively, visiting Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and away up North to the British Dominions. He always did well at his photographic profession, but latterly turned his attention more to mining acquiring some valuable interests in Oregon. He has now gone back there, being suddenly called away by a message to the effect that a portion of his mining property was being infringed upon. He left, proposing to return here shortly for a few weeks' stay among his numerous old-time Comstock friends, all of whom rejoice in his prosperity.
