NEBRASKA SHAFr.-Thc Nebraska Company sus-
pended operations in their dggings Saturday
last. These claims have been worked constantly
since 1885, and most of the time the members of the
company have been drawing heavy dividends. We
have but little idea of the amount Of gold taken from
the diggngs, but it must amount to considerably
over half million of dollars. Within the past two
years the company have sold to Birdseye & FELTON,
about $4,000 worth of gold dust, and within the
past eighteen months the profits have amounted to
about 100000. In the fan of 1853 the claims were
divided into five shares, three of which were pur
chased by Messrs. Birdseye, Seymour and Critten-
den, Mr.. II. Dawley, of the original owners, re-
tanning the other two shares.
HOTEL THIEvRs.-A number of thefts were per-
pctrated at the Keystone House. Broad street, last
Sunday night. The thieves entered number of
sleeping rooms, which had been left unlocked, ran
sacked the clothing of the dodgers, took gold watch
from one, ten dollars in money from another, and
other articles of value On leaving the house they
took desk belonging to Mr.. Bailey, carried it to a
vacant lot the opposite side of the street, broke
it open, and distracted every thing they wanted

thousand dollars in his pocket; but he took the pre-
caution to lock the door, and his room not en-
tered.
