DEATH OF GEO. C. BRYSON.

A telegram from Reno announces the death of George C. Bryson, which took place in Reno today.

Mr. Bryson was about 80 years of age, and a pioneer of Nevada. He came to Nevada from Georgetown, California, and for many years was identified with Como and Virginia City mining interests. For a quarter of a century, he has lived in Carson, until very recently where his declining years were ripened by the affection and care of his son, George C. Jr. He leaves many warm friends in this city, who have naught but kind words to say of a kind old man.
