THE EVENING NEWS.

Divide is to us a scene ei unusual beauty
We saw, several years asN, at the Dusseldorf
Gallery, in the club of the universe, a
picture of Alpine scenery. The view from
the Divide is in some respects similar. AS
far as the eve can see, mountain upon ihouh-
tain appears, until these vast hills become
mere niSmies. In the background, rising up
amid the clouds, stand the Sierras, their
rough sides Aecked with snow. From the
furthest limit of vision TO the narrow pass IN
which the town lies, the hight Of the success
sion of hills in direct line decreases. To
the west, the solid wall Of rock, scared and
Jagged, hurled from an unknown depth, rises
hundreds of feet. Civilization has now wound
around these nights broad roads. The noun
tain passes have been graded. Below busy
population tolls night and day. The lack OF
vegeta ton is everywhere descernable. But
AS the immigrant determines to make this
land his home, the water which IS now
wasted will be used for irrigation, and many
places which are har-s VIII 6e covered with
trees and grass. We sA"a then be better
pleased with the picture.
INJUNCTION DIssoLvED.-TheR appanan-
mock Company, Palmyra District, Lyon eoun-
ty, jumped the ground of the Santa Rosa
Company, and sunk a shaft within the line Of
the Santa Rosa stakes. The Santa Rosa
is one of the Oldest locations in the district
and is so recognized BY all the first settles.
The Rappahannock, without notice to the
Santa Rosa Company, applied for and OBJ
tanned an injunction against the Santa Rosa
Company singular judicial proceeding.
His Honor Judge Locke yesterday dissolved
the injunction, and placed the Santa Rosa
RectuS EacEriG. The above. which has been
published in all the Virginia papers. is untrue.
The injunction has not been dissolved. The
story Of the dissolution of the injunction,
''RectHs Laclyia," ETC., was doubtless Gtarted
for the purpose Of selling Santa Rosa stock.
SAN Francisco Co., WAsHoE LEDGE
This company's claim was located June 9th,
1850. During the same summer tunnel
was run $50 feet, cutting through ledge con-
siderably broken. A shaft was also sunk
near the groupings to the depth Of forty feet,
and drift run from the shaft fifty feet. They
are now sinking a double shaft upon the CEN
ire OF the claim, nearly north Of Reeds Mill.
There are twenty-eight hundred feet in the
claim. Close to their shaft is very fine out
crop Of the ledge, and large quantities Of
noat quartz ore found upon the hill close by.
The shaft is now down about fifty feet and has
passed through some veins of quartz indlcat-
ing the northerly and southerly course Of the
ledge. They find the rock very hard, but are
driving the work as fast as possible. The To-
cation Of this claim is west of American Flat
in the vicinity of the Arizone.
BRASS WATCH AUcTIoNs.-We noticed
Yesterday on street, Virginia, two auction
GERS, within two or three rods OF each other,
each with brass watch, or something about
the same color. setting forth in the loudest
tones their lungs could compass, the ex-
traordinary merits Of each particular tick
er" to the gaping crowds that surrounded
them. "Going, going!" they cried, when
they knew it was extremely doubtful whether
they had ever gone, or ever would go, except
10 I" 20 at a bargain" to some unsophistica-
ted bidder. The strset auctions of Virginia
and especially the watch auctions, are nui-
sance.
DIv1DENDs.-The Gould & Curry Compa-
ny has declared dividend of Sl25 per foot
for the month of February, payable on Mon
Gay next. The Empire Mill and Mining
Company has declared dividend of $50 per
foot, payable on Monday. The Savage min
ing company has also declared a dividend on
the capital stock of said company, payable
to-day, at their Office, SOP Montgomery street,
San Francisco. Persons desiring payment
Of their dividends in this city can obtain the
same by presenting their certificates at the
banking house of B. F. Hastings & Co. We
understand that the dividend is s. 70 the
share.-TrgtaiG Union.
DIvIDEND.-Telegraphic blunders are so
common that people have ceased to be sur
prised at any uncommon or startling an
nouneement coming through the wires. We
notice in the San Francisco dispatch, pub
ished in the Enterprise this morning, that
"The Empire Mill and Mining Company de-
clare dividend of $40 per foot on Monday"
This is evidently blunder." II should have
been $40 per share, or $40 per foot, as there
ale l6 shares to the foot; and besides, this
is about what il was anticipated that the dlyl-
dend would be.
A BauTE.-Passing along the street to-
day a sight met our eyes which we dislike to
see. A man had overloaded his team and
because thew had become exhausted his anger
had become almost Satanic, and he pounded
the poor animals without mercy. This dis
gushing sight drew the attention of numbers
Of passers-by, but Of no policeman. A man
who will so misuse beast and so disgrace
himself in the public street, should be put
into the changing.
BoILNo.-The pot political is beginning
to boil in Virginia Candidates for city off,
ces are obliged to " come to the centre" and
there is much buzzing on the street corners
and laying Of wires. AL classes are certain
" manifesting unusual interest in the coming
election. We understand that all the bust
ness houses in Inc city viii be closed, and
everybody will, for the Gay, become working
politicians.
JUDGE ATwILL's CorRT.-The suit Of the
Alban G. & S. NJ. Co. vs.. the Virginia
Hill 6. & S. NJ. Co. was not decided yester-
day. Judge Atwill is still engaged In trying
the case to-day, at the Probate Courtroom.
It is doubtful abont his getting through with
it to-day.
ALAReE crowd was collected in Union street,
Virginia, this morning to see fight between
a dealer in brass watches and vender of ci-
CARS and other unconsidered tribes. But
the fight did not come to a head, both parties
evidently being afraid of getting hurt. Each
applied to the other some of the hardest
words in the English language.
PreILIsTIc-The Irishman who was before
Judge Kellogg, few days since, for breach
of the peace, and was discharged, promising
to enlist, has again been "on his muscle" and
is now in the lookup, awaiting transportation
TO Fort Churchill.
RALLY AROUND THE FLAo.-Capt. John
Y. Paul, of Co. F, wants thirty more recruits
to Ill up his company. This affords an ex.
eellent opportunity 70 join company, which
will soon go into active service, in the direc-
ton of New Mexico.
UPsEr.-A bungling teamster upset wag-
on, with innumerable bundles of hay upon
il, near Dolman & Clark's feed store, this
morning.
Contrary to the announcement in some
