THE EVENING NEWS.

New Ell DoRADo.-The mines lately dis
covered on the desert near the sink Of the
Humboldt; in what is now known as the De-
sert Mining District, bid fair to prove of an
exceedingly rich character. People are flock
ing thither from Humboldt, and the ada
cent country, in great numbers, and con-
siderable excitement exists in regard to It..
We saw button worth about 80 thus morn
ing, at the Assay Office of Theall q Co..
Virginia. 1t was obtained by amaiSamauon
from about Spounds of ore from the Enter
prise Mine-in this district-whlch Is con-
tinuation of the Cleopatra and Mark Antony
Mines. One ton of the ore was received last
night at the Granite Mill ut this place, and
will probably be crushed TO day. The yield
will, doubtless, be a large one, proving con-
clusively that this Territory is still petering
out.
WATER SrRIXE.-In passing the Overman
Company's Tunnel this morning, we learned
that they struck very large stream of water
last night. There was about thirty inches
running out Of the tunnel this morning, and
the foreman informed US, that when they first
struck the stream, there must have been SIN
" inches. We noticed that it had pretty
thoroughly flooded the track in the bottom
ing the work with energy, employing three
sets OF hands to work in their drift, also
number of hands are engaged grading roads,
and ground for their dump, building IN office
close 70 the mouth of the tunnel, and making
such other Improvements as are necessary,
for the convenience and success f Il prosecution
of the development OF the mine. Their tun-
mel is now in about eleven hundred feet, and
they have taken out about two hundred tons
Of ore, which looks very much like Belcher
rock. 1t is thought that the water Just
struck, must be close to their main ledge,
and we may look for "strike" very soon,
that will cause lucky stockholders to rejoice
exceedingly.
HARD on THEN.-The City Council Of
Virginia have passed an ordinance requiring
the proprietors of melodeons to pay month
" license of $3.50, and in default thereof to
paw 4 fine Of $500, or be imprisoned for the
term of 80 DAYS, at the discretion of the
Court. This is rather rough on the pro-
prietorS Of these places Of amusement.
New RoAp.-A new road has just been
opened from Johntown to Aurora, via Ell Dora
do Canon, Hot Springs and Wright's Bridge.
Il is said to be % miles shorter than any
other wagon route, and is in excellent condl-
ton. Persons have been in the habit OF
taking this route when on horseback and fol-
lowing the Indian trail on account OF its be-
ing so much more direct, and now that there
is a graded road over the route, there will
doubtless be considerable travel that way.
Cosr OF MEMDERSHIP.-The price Of ad-
mission TO the Stock Board, at Virginia, is
500. In San Francisco, it is 3, 900 and the
number of members is limited TO 50. We
understand that the price of seats in the
Board here will be raised to $500 next
Spring.
We understand that C. L. Strong, Super
intendent of the Gould & Curry has donated
800 to assist in recruiting the regiment OF
infantry called for by our Governor. That Is
the way to see men manifest their loyal
", il looks as ii it was something more than
skin deep. There is large amount OF mo-
new required in recruiting this regiment, and
We doubt not further contributions will be
thankiully received BY Col. Hunserford.
NCIsAScEs.-The pile of dirt on c street
in front OF the promises lately occupied by
Croker ( Fox, and the rubbish in front Of
WasSerman :, corner Union and c streets,
Virginia They should be abated. In the
latter case there is no excuse whatever.
No sale of Schiller stock for assessments
has been made. This sale takes place on
S,turlly next. The sale on Saturday last
WAS I private one, and the rates obtained
were Si5 per foot, 50 we are csealb!y IN
formed.
Many of the merchants OF Virginia are
hlving the streets macadamized in front Of
their places Of business. Ii all would take
hold OF the matter, Virginia could soon boast
as fine streets as San Francisco. The waste
rock from the mines is a most excellent ma
terial for the purpose.
THAT wRETcHED MrDHoLE, corner of C
street and Sutton avenue, at Virginia, has
been filed up with fine rock from the dumps
OF some OF our mines, and can now be passed
in safety with heavy loads.
THE City Dads now require the Virginia
policemen to report themselves to the city
Tailor when going on and off duty. We do
not know what arrangements have been made
in the premises, but suppose that those who
fail to comply will forfeit their pay.
A FINE stone foundation for the boiler and
engine is nearly completed at the works Of
the Monmouth and Warsaw Company at
Virginia The sound Of that big steam
whistle will soon be heard in that neighbor-
hood.
BrLIrox.-l,243 pounds of bullion was

IMPRovEMENTs.-Anoth story has been

Joining Mitchell & Adams, formerly occu-
pied 6y Croker & Fox. Stairs have been
built connecting the second story with the
