THE EVENING NEWS.
DARnANEIIR CoNpANY.-This company

DARDASELLB COMPANY This company
have been steadily working their claim,
and have now run the drift from the bot
tom of the shaft about one hundred and
seventy feet. Eighty feet of the drift has
BEEN very hard blasting rock. causing the
work to progress slowly, but yesterday
they struck through into much softerrock,
composed of porphyry sulphurets with
streaks of blue and yellow clay; also veins
Of quartz, altogether the most favorable
indications for a ledge that have been
found in the drift as yet. The Superin-
tendent informed US that there could be
but little doubt of soon reaching the ledge.
We truly hope that they may strike pay
ledge there. for we need something as
starter to commence the restoration of
confidence in outside claims. The ma
chinery is all in perfect order, and has run
steadily from the time in which the work
upon the drift was commenced, without
even one break or stoppage. This is the
advantage of having large machinery.
with ample power to do all the work re-
quired with case. So far as the working
and entire managing of this claim is con-
cerned, very few claims in this district
have been so successfully managed as has
this one.
FIGHTs IN VIRGINIA YEsTERDAr.-The
following fights are recorded in the morn
ing papers as having occurred in Virginia,
yesterday afternoon. The first occurred
on Union street, between B and c, in
which man by the name of Chauncey
was cut in the breast by a man named J.
H. Long. Long was arrested and taken
to the station-house. Chauncey was taken
10 Muncton & Warmers drugstore, on B
street, where his wound was dressed. The
cut is not of dangerous nature, as the
knife struck the breast bone and glanced,
inhicting q long cash. The wound bled
profuselv, and is quite painful, but the
man will be all right in q few days. Next:
A rough-looking customer, of the Irish per-
suasion, was belching forth his treason on
the street, when Tom Peasley suddenly
closed his discourse by giving him sharp
lick on the busle, making the claret run
quite freely. Finally: Two Irishmen got
into a MUS at the Monitor Saloon, and
hammered each other until a policeman
came up and carried them off to the Sta
ton House.
The GREEN CoMPASY.-This mine in
the lower portion of the Gold Hill District,
which had been, for long time, wrought
without any system and consequently
without any result, has under new and
systematic management at length struck
ledge of good rock. 1t was struck in the
shaft, at the depth of about one hundred
and forty feet, and the shaft is still sink
ing through it. The thickness of the ledge
has not yet been ascertained. We were
shown to-day by Mr.. Oullahan, Superin-
tendent of the Green, a certificate of II.
Harris, of an assay Of the average rock,
which shows $50 in gold and S25 II in
silver to the ton. The Superintendent
thinks he has struck the Justis ledge, and
Is much pleased at the prospects of the
mine. We are pleased to be able TO an
nounce the opening of new paying Lodges,
and from the advanced state Of the work
of many mines in good localities, we ex-
pect to make many such an announce
ment during the coming fall and winter.
