STOCK this afternoon delegations from the
several Odd Fellows Lodges at Virginia,
Silver City, Dayton and Carson City, began
10 arrive al the Hall, where an immense
crowd of people had congregated, md the Hall
was insufficient to hold fourth Of them.

Hearse, with SIX pall-bearerS; mournerS and
citizens in carriages and on horseback. The
remains Of deceased were buried IN the Gold
Hill Cemetery. The funeral was the largest
ever Witnessed in Gold Hill.
WAsHoE GEoGRAPHT.-WaShoe is 4 coun-
try Of immense extent and immenSer sex
tensions" good deal Of il is still living
about loose, though the greater part has been
given away BY the Legislature 10 work up into
toll reads. What is lefs is bounded on the
north BY Cariboo, some other "boos," Honey
Lake and old Governor Roop; on the east by
Brigham Young, several Of his elders, their
wives and increase, and the tents OF the Go
Shoots; on the south by big groupings, float
rock, the UNEMPLOYED region and other good
Neutrality-suspicious. which is the total absence
of water; on the west BY an underground
imaginary airline, following the curves OF
the mountains and the inclinationS Of the
hills-also those Of the people Of California.
The climate is variable, except dust, which
is invariable. Principal city, Mount David
son-soyerned BY "mare" ard Board OF
Brokers. SeapOrtS, DAYTON and Dutch
Sicks. Volcanoes, Steamboat Springs and
the American Flat lime kilns. We omit the
rest for want Of room.
CONSOLIDATED CoNPANY.-This compa-
ny's claim is located 4 short distance south
east of the Midas works. They have shaft
down lS5 feet, from which / drift has been
run one hundred feet 10 their ledge, which
thew found 20 be some twenty-five feet thick.
After piercing the ledge they drifted upon 1t
about eighty feet, and are still continuing the
work. They have lately erected Substan-
tial building 30x60 feet in size over their
shaft, and intend soon 20 have steam hoist
ing works erected in il. At present they are
working the mine by means OF horse power,
using the common within. The company
have also been putting up dump, where in
II few DAYS they expect TO commence deposit
ing paw rock from their mine. We hope the
DAYS will be very few and the rock very rich.
OPHTR.-At depth of - fec; below their
deepest works, the Ophir Company have just
struck, in shaft they are sinking, some
splendid ore. This is in what will be their
seventh gallery, and the ore will pay from
$500 to $1,000 per ton. Little IS known as To
the extent Of the deposit, as they have onl!
struck il in their shaft, and have not yet
drifted across It. This is very encouraging TO
the Mexican and other companies who are
sinking toward the same level. The strike is
on the part of the Ophir ground lying south
Of the Mexican mine, but they will drift
along their lead till they can connect with
shaft which they are now sinking on thai part
Of their ground living north OF the hundred
feet owned by the Mexican Company.
SHAMErrL.-A well known physician in
Virginia, and a most skillfHl and talented
Young man-one who might have become an
ornamen, to the city, as well as speedily o.
tain large and lucrative practice-was this
morning arrested and taken to the station
house for beating his wife, smashing furni
rure, and in other WAYS conducting himself
ike a maniac. He had lately been oyer-in-
duiging in strong drink, and his wife says, has
been taking morphine and other drugs TILL
almost on the verge Of insanity. II is not
the first time that he has been locked up IN
der similar circumstances, but we sincerely
hope il may be the last.
SHOOTING AT THE PoLIcE.-A night OF
two since one Of the Virginia Police was
passing along a street in the vicinity Of the
Chinese quarter, when ne heard I bullet
whistle over his head, followed almost in
stantly BY the report of pistol. Turning
toward the man who fired, the policeman
drew his revolver, and returned the comPli-
uent. Two shots each were exchanged, when
the policeman charged, and his would-be
murderer fed. the policemen Of that city
frequently have such adventures as the above.
!, is very romantic.
ToNAwANDA Co.-This company is now at
work sinking ! shaft few rods north of the
mouth Of the Hawkeye tunnel. They COM
menced work on il about three weeks ago, and
have, since that time, sunk u shaft b. feet
in size, down 50 feet deep. This is not bad
recommendation Of the miners employed IN
conducting this work. This company has
smother shaft about 800 feet south Of this
one, which is now lying idle on account OF
the water which came in 50 fast as TO cause
the company to discontinue the work until
machinery can be erected to keep the water
OUT.
SIMMER SIGHTS. We have had spring
weather all winter, and now in place Of spring
are having regular summer weather. The
dusty roads, and everything else in our land
scape, have 4 summer look. This forenoon
we notice the sprinkling carts making their
regular rounds, and citizens with small hose
attached to the hydrants on their premises,
wetting down the streets, as though 1t were
the middle Of July.
CROWN PoISr Cove understand that
this company have now got their shaft down
80 feet, which is as deep as they intend to
sink it at pre5ent. They will soon commence
10 run q 0Tltt oAi1lL W LIIC -
a few weeks this will be added to the list Of
productive mines in Gold Hill District. Luck
10 them. They merit a big fortune for their
energy.
VIRGINIA Police CoURr.-Owing to the
severe and protacted indisposition Of Judge
Leconey, no business was done in this Court
this morning. There are a number of pris-
oners in the city lookup who ought either to
have a hearing or be turned out-they will
De in danger Of spotted fever, if kept in the
Black Hole much longer.
CONSIDERABLE activity is being displayed
by the miners of Flowery District in the de-
yelopment of the various leads in that Sec
ton. More work is at present being done
