| REcoRpER's COURT, VIRGINIA. The
following business was disposed OF this
morning: ]. W. Stephenson, arrested
several DAYS ago, for drawing and exhibit
ing a deadly weapon, and taken out by
officer Shepard in order that he might pro-
| cpre hail. and from whom he managed to
escane was re-arrested in Gold Hill last
night by officer Cooke, who brought him
| 70 his old quarters. His trial was post
poned till Monday, at 10 A. N. J. S.
Field. arrested on complaint of Mary

pretenses, had his case continued till to-
| morrow at 10 A. N. ]. A. Costar, arrest

BROKE ITS SHAFr.-The Chollar Com
pany broke the main shaft of its hosting
works yesterday morning. The strain
must have been great, for the shaft was OF
cast-iron, and over six inches in diameter.
On this shaft were the friction wheels
which drove the reels. The work in the
mine will have to be suspended until
new one can be procured. The company
will probably have one cast at one OF the
foundries in this Territory; but even if
this is done, considerable time will elapse
before the machinery can be made ready
TO run again. A draft of the shaft will
have to be drawn, the pattern made, and
the shaft then cast and turned off on a
lathe. All this will take time, and before
the repair is completed a week at least will
probably have elapsed. The company has
been taking out excellent rock lately, and
does not wish to have its claim stand idle
longer than possible.
Opp FELLOWS. j. A. McClelland,
Grand Master, and T. Rodgers Johnson,
Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge Of
California and Nevada Territory of the 1.
o. 0. F., arrived in Virginia yesterday.
Last evening they visited Dayton Lodge
No. ), at Dayton. This evening they
will visit Nevada Lodge No. I, in Vir-
ginia, and on Saturday evening Mount
Davidson Lodge No. 3, also in that city.
On Sunday an encampment will be inSti-
tuted in Virginia by I. Rodgers Johnson,
Grand Scribe of the Grand Encampment.
The members of the lodges in Gold Hill,
Silver City and Washoe City are invited
to attend the lodge in Virginia, as the
grand officers will leave for California on
Monday.
ARRESTED on SUSrIcIoN.-Somebody
stole provisions to the amount of Sl5O,
night before last, from the Store-room of
the Nevada Hotel, lower Gold Hill. Two
Chinese cooks, employed in the house,
were arrested and had an examination be-
fore Judge Robinson this morning. The
evidence failed to imphcate the prisoners,
and they were discharged. The question
now arises, who did steal the grub:
Social PARrY.-Slrs. Harriet E. Col
Inns will open her new hotel, the Collius
House, at American Flat, next week, and
will give a social party thereat on Friday
evening, July 22d, to which general in
