This Year of the Fire Horse feels a bit like sharing a barn stall with a handful of mustangs—shifting, circling, reacting, doing their best to keep their footing and avoid a well-placed kick. Life isn’t just moving fast—it’s galloping. And in the middle of all that

The New Year has wasted no time making itself known—marked by a flurry of arrests and seizures across both counties, an outpouring of generosity for local causes, and, sadly, the need to say goodbye to friends who helped shape the Comstock we know today. As both a resource and

If you’ve felt the Chronicle getting fuller these past few months, you’re not imagining it. Our community has rediscovered its voice—and with it, a renewed excitement to share stories, memories, journalism, art, and reflections from across the Comstock. Each week, more residents reach out wanting to contribute,

Thanksgiving has been part of life on the Comstock for more than 150 years. The earliest Nevada papers—the Territorial Enterprise of Virginia City and the Gold Hill Daily News—carried annual reminders each November that the holiday mattered here. Nevada formally recognized Thanksgiving as a state holiday in 1864,

The first snow of the season has a way of pausing the Comstock in a single breath. One morning the hills stand bare and wind-carved, and by afternoon a thin white veil settles across the ridgelines, softening a landscape that has never pretended to be gentle. Northern Nevada wears weather

This week, the Comstock stands in gratitude for the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Veterans Day is not only a date on the calendar—it is a living reminder of courage, discipline, and devotion that has safeguarded the freedoms we often take for granted. Across

As the clocks turn back and the light fades earlier across the canyons, the Comstock settles into its quieter season. The long days of visitors and events give way to longer nights, when lamps glow warmly in windows from Dayton to Gold Hill and laughter carries softly through the cold.

After careful consideration, I have given my resignation as editor of the Comstock Chronicle. As most of you are aware, the Chronicle is owned by the Comstock Foundation. As their board decides how and if to move forward with their support of the paper, I have decided to step aside.

It is my duty to inform our subscribers that there will not be a printed edition of your favorite newspaper this week. For the contributors and team of the Comstock Chronicle, this newspaper is a labor of love. Far from a profitable enterprise, it is a chance for each of

Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a

We live in exciting times. Then again, it may just be that living chronologically is always an exciting experience. Was there ever a boring time? I can't remember one, at least on the Comstock. Reno, perhaps. Back to my point. Things move fast these days. Words, in particular,

It's a dichotomy. Two of my favorite sounds are the vast, sweeping silence of the Nevada desert and the hearty rumble of a V8 engine. As the annual Ferrari Hill Climb event circled Gold Hill, I found a smile spreading across my face. The Ferrari V12, after all,
