The EVENING NEWS.
THE DowD.-This claim, in the DEVILS
Gate District, was located in SO. We paid
Il a visit yesterday. It is situated about a
quarter Of "a mile south of Silver City, on the
ridge or range which is supposed to contain
the grand ledge, and on which are the rich
mines of Virginia and Gold Hill, and Of
which the Dowd is believed to be an extern
sion. The Dowd has been worked by SHAFT
and an incline, and rock taken therefrom,
and crushed at the mill, made return so IA
vorable as to stimulate the hopes OF every
shareholder. Ii has sold as high as 800 per
foot, but can now be had at lower figure,
because work upon the claim has been Of
late suspended. The development of the
mine will be resumed, however, in day or
two, and will be hereafter prosecuted with
Nigor. The ledge, where last cut, was about
eight feet wide, and grows in extent as the
depth is increased. We think the Dowd will
prove to be one Of the best claims in the De-
Wis Gate. 1t is in good hands, P. H. Dowd,
one Of the locators is the Superintendent,
and Theodore A. Hale, Deputy County Clerk
is Secretary.

BIG DAYS woRx.-On Saturday last, l26
tons of ore were taken out of the Mexican
mine, forty men being employed in the work.
This rock will average 500 per ton, making
the total value of the rock extracted on that
one day, Sl2,600. The whole amount taken
out thus far, for the present month, has been
SO tons-thiS is up to Yesterday. This has
all been shipped TO the Company's mill, on
the Carson. One hundred tons Of this rock
will yield $500 per ton, and the balance will
average 800 per ton. This makes the yield
OF the mine for the past days about So, 500.
Oh, no; the Mexican amt giving out or
nothing !-Enterprise.
4 RECKLESS FELLow.-A man named
John Wyman, while under the influence of
liquor last evening, drew and discharged his
revolver on the public street in reckless
manner. Officer Downey was in front Of
him, and as the fellow was about shooting
again, Downcy rushed upon him, and in the
scafic the cock of the pistol came down upon
his finger, making a painful bruise. He
didn't knock the fellow down for fear Of being
called brute, but he took him to the Sta
tinn House, and this morning he was fined
so.
\ HARD SroRy.-The Enterprise tells
story about lot Of ore recently worked in
one Of the Reese River Mills, which by mill
process Yields 800 per ton. As this yield
did not come up to the expectations Of the
owners Of the ore, they gathered up lot of
the tailiugs and had them assayed, obtaining
silver at the rate of 81, 400 per ton. II the
stuff had been put through the mill a second
time, it is thought that the tailings would
have come out pure silver
