TIE EVENING NEWS.


liquor saloons are almost daily throwing
open their tempting doors not few old ones
are closing theirs per force OF law and 9ad
times. 4 grand institution near WeiiS'
Fargo's Virginia Office, which few weeks
since was opened without regard to expense,
is now closed and deserted, because It not
only did not paw, but threatened to swamp
its proprietor in sea of financial dincuIty.
Who could paw $500 month rental for
mere liquor saloous And, unless we mis-
take the signs of the times, few other SINH
lar establishments in the same vicinity must
soon cave" likewise, vet, in such an event,
no one needs fear his inability to get n
smile" if he but have short bit or libe-
raj friend The Magnolia Saloon, on
street, Mr.. Garritz, proprietor, has been taken
possession Of BY Ben. Lackey, Deputy Con-
stable who now keeps watch and ward over
its contents, and has been removed to the
Fast Freight Sterehouse. The place was at
tached bv James McFadden, late bar-kceper
of the Magnolia, who, seeing a gathering
crowd Of attachments, thought he would take
time by the forelock, and save himself for
services rendered. Truly, ethink the whis-
Ky business, good though be the demand
therefor, is overdone.
MINING IrENs.-The California Company
have leased the shaft and machinery of the
Central Company for term Of four months,
and will now work their mine through the
Centrars shaft. The new hosting works
of the Milton was tried yesterday in the pres
cnce Of 4 large number of spectators, and
performed admirably. Work on the claim
has been suspended for long time because
of water in the shaft, which this new ma
chinery, it is thought, will soon pump out.
The Shamrock claim, alongside the Milton,
is also making great improVementS-hare
laid new tracks, bulk new dump and road
for teams. Shamrock is looking up.
DxsERr.-The Desert District, despite
the competition Of American Flat, still holds
its own. We were shown to-day letter
from that place, written BY c. L. Chaffee,
who speaks highly of the place as a rich
mineral region. Artificial means, he thinks,
will soon, in great measure, overcome ma
lures obstacles, especially in matters Of wa
ter. Desert CITY, he thinks, will be soon 4
large town Mr.. Nichols, agent for the town
owners, left here yesterday with train Of
supplies for Desert City, and materials for
well sinking.
FIRE MATTERs.-James Phelan was last
evening elected President of the Board of
Delegates of the Virginia Fire Department,
rice ]. V. B. Perry, who was a candidate for
re election. An election for Chief of the
Department will soon take place. Peter
Larkin, the present incumbent, has been al
ready re-nominated. His chief and perhaps
only competitor will doubtless be W. R.
Warnock, ex-FOreman of Washoe, No. 1.
Virginia has, at the present time, twenty
cisternS for the use Of its admirable Fire De-
partment.
LUCKY FELLows.-Two men named Gray
& Cooke, own mine which bears their own
name, in the vicinity Of Silver City, who
make out Of II about 5000 a month. Its
Weld is chiefly in gold One Of the owners
attends to getting the ore out OF the mine,
while the other stays ut Carson river and
watches the araStraS as they grind out the
precious metal. We saw at Ruhling 4 Co.'S
this morning, a bar Of almost pure gold from
this mine Of Gray & Cookies. Though di-
minutive in size, as compared with those
made Of silver, it was worth S22,I24.
MuIrARY.-Dr. Pinkcrton has been ap-
pointed Military Surgeon to examine re-
cruits enlisted for Uncle Sam in the Terri
tory. By recent authority Of the War De-
parrment, Provost Marshal Van Bokkelen
is authorized TO enlist in this Territory for
the purpose of filing up old regiments now
in active service, and organizing new ones.
The bounticS offered arc so liberal, that he
will doubtless have his hands full. To those
who have already seen service the tcmpta-
tiOnS 10 rc-cn6st are especially great.
ANOTHER INDEPENDENT BoARD.-The in
dependent brokers' boards, lately established,
are becoming popular. One upon this plan
has Just been opened, We understand, at
lIart'S Sample Rooms, old POst-oEice build
ing, in this city-the frSt OF the sort i'll Gold
Hill. We cannot see why such an institution
here should not prosper, as well as the
many Of similar character in Virginia. Let
the people have chance. This new board
meets "ancr supper" Let's have the sales.
