\ large amount of work has been done in
developing their lcdge-which is from
TWENTY-FIVE to thirty feet in thickness at
the depth of 100 feet from the surface.
At this depth there is Il working gallery

Meeting with this gallery are TWO shaSS

TWO Of them. horse-whimS are erected, and
every convenience for raising is applied.
The nrincipal incline follows the lode to
the depth of $50 feet. at the bottom OF
which the best pay-rock Is found. Inc
ore extracted from this mine Is OF very
peculiar character, being mixed through
ont. the entire mass with the So-called bed
rock. 1t contains from twenty to thirty
dollars per ton in gold, eight TO twelve
dellars in silver. and traces OF copper,
antimonv. cobalt and lead. The company

Carson river. which, on account OF some
temporary arrangement OF matters at the
mine. is now engaged crushing ore from
the PotoSi mine at Virginia. 1t may be

parties hold the majority OF stock III ooth
the Santiago and Potosi companies.
'DECIDEpLY ANNoYING.-Our Virginia
Reporter. while navigating c street the
other day in search of free fight "or any
other man" stopped at a new building just
receiving the finishing touches, for the
purpose of learning who Its owner was
etc. etc, and making an item Of 1t, when
he found Dan de Quill, Of the ENTER
PRISE engaged in similar undertaking.
\ large Dutchman was cleaning away rub
biSh from the front and side DANDY
ponccd upon him with the question,
"who owns this building:" the reply was
Taash: Turning 10 another Il little an
gr;lv, he repeated the question, and was
answered 80 eilnilish GooT." He finally
found the proprietor who turned out to be
an italian, and could not speak Il word Of
English. We pi,ied the poor fellow from
the bottom of our usually hinty heart, and
in consequence invited him across the
sttect to assist in taking our astronomical
observation. and we took i.
ANOTHER MILITARY CoNrANY--At a
meeting held in the District Court room,
Virginia, last evening. steps were taken
for the formation of new military COM
panv, to Be called the National Guards.
Hon. HENRY EDGERroH.-ThiS gentle
man will be unable to ill his appointment
10 deliver the address at the Fair, on ac
count of the District Court being in seS-
sion at Virginia. Hon. Jno. \. Collins,
of Virginia. has been selected as the orator
in his stead.
IHEBxIArED.-Anind individual very much
under the influence of bad whisky, made
himself conspicuous on { street last even
Ing by very loud conversation with
some imaginary person. whom he finally
consigned to the arch tiend in hadeS, and
went on his winding way rejoicing.
PROBATE Cornr.-Thc Probate Court
OF Ormsby county convened at Carson
City yesterday, at 10 o'clock.
Mrs. DINKS, has fine one story. frame
building p by 40 feet nearly completed
on south c street Virginia city. She will
Occupy it as q Restaurant.
. VALUABLE HoRSE.-Wc have heard o
thieves becoming so inclined to pilfer as to
steal red hot SIoSe, but that isn't circum-
stance 10 what We witnessed on c street yes
tcrday, viz: the attempted theft Of a cold one
bv horse. Some of our ight-fngefcd gentry
should purchase that animal immediately.
The gentleman who was astride him was
busily engaged in conversation, when the
horse, espying some stoves neatly stuffed
with hay near BY, and being voraciously in
,clined, soon buried his head in one of them
up to his eyes; but in attempting to remove
his head from the stove aforesaid, which was
L very large one, he found that it had got him.
Upon making this discovery he Immediately
began describing various geornctrical figures
through the crowd, such as triangles, squares
and circles forwards, and arcs, etc., back
wards-the stove stil clinging trner to his
nose. But spying a policeman, he all at
.once seemed to have come TO the conclusion
that instead of the stove having him, he had
got the stove, and away he bounded with his
unwilling rider at fearful speed Forum
ately the violent pluRging of the animal soon
disarranged the stove, or we might have had
i sad accident to record.
4 PEEP AT OUR CALABOOsE.-At the so
EcitatiOn OF Mr.. Arnold, our Town Marshal
we visited the Station House ami examined
the building throughout. K is divided into
three sections, one of which is used as the
sleeping room for the officers, another as a
kind of kitchen, and the third contains the
proper cells for prisoners. The neatness of
these different apartments commends itself at
once to the eye of the visitor, and is really
refreshing when compared with others which
we have visited before. The inside is not
wholly finished. but enough is done to con-
vince us that its convenience and cleanliness
will be all that is desired in city prison, and
those whose misfortune it is to take up with
lodgings therein, we are certain will hare no
cause of complaint.
THE ROAD INTO EIRGINIA.-We very
much dislike to begin by pitching into our
neighboring city on the bad condition of its
