Bv,cuER Co.-The Belcher company seem

| the claims down that way. They are now
erecting an addition to their new building,
for a carpenter shop. 1t will be roomy,
twenty-six BY forty feet in size, and attached
| to the southwest side OF the main building.
| The company will soon have fine Office
erected, in connection with their works,
| where the business of the mine can be trans
acted. Their pump is SET, and will be start
ed this afternoon or evening. 1t will raise
| the water from the shaft, and discharge it
| into drift on a level with the old works Of
/ the company, with which it connects the
shaft. The water will be carried in sluices
through his drift, and by way Of their old
tunnel, out of the mine /; and will be discharg-
ed into the gutter If Main street, Just below
the Gold Hill Quartz Mill. In connection
with the main pump, there is little dom
key pump of a couple of feet stroke, which
will be used to hoist so much water, TO the
top Of the mine, as will be required for the
use of the boiler and other purposes. There
has been good deal done By way OF finish,
to the works Of this company since we were
there about a week ago, on the occasion OF
the starting of their new hosting works; and
now their almost perfection makes them de-
lightful to see.
HEAVY on JUDAS. - The Mexican resi-
dents of Virginia went through the, with
them, annual ceremony of hanging and burn
ing Judas, this morning. His image was
suspended between couple of posts near the
corner of D and Mill streets, and some OF
the early risers in that part of the city were
much shocked this morning at seeing what
appeared to be the body of healthy Dutch
man hanging BY the neck, dead and stiff,
with his arms and legs tied. The image was
provided with false face, and at 4 short dis
lance could not be told from the body OF
man. The body was afterwards wet with
turpentine, stuck full Of fre-crackers, and
set on fire. While poor old Judas was bla-
zing and exploding, the crowd pelted HIM
most numerically, at the same time turning
loose on him 4 shower of curses and abuse IN
Spanish. 1t was decidedly big thing on
Judas. Some who saw the performance
thought it was the eihgy OF old Maximlllan
that was being thus maltreated.
A Snow SroRM-The high bleak noun
tains about us are clothed to-day in a
garment of white, save where the lofty per-
pendicular, black crags afford no resting
place for the snow, and loom up in grand
and imposing contrast. Il commenced snow
ing in the night, has been showing all the
morning and as we write (about noon) fast
falls the feecy shower" with every indica-
ton of keeping it up throughout the day.
The amount which is likely TO fall at this
season of the year is not likely to be heavy {;
but the direction from which the storm
comes, gives room for hope that our Califor-
MIA neighbors are having rain-storm;
matter in which we are interested almost as
much as themselves. Our little snow furry,
| will at least, have the effect Of laying the
| dust the binding clouds of which for some
/ time past have been intoieraole.
TwINs.-Speaking of the birth of pair Of
twins Tor "episodes" as Artemus Ward hath
/ i'll to the wife Of Mr.. Adams Of Silver City,
the unreliable local of the Enterprise an
nounces that 81 thew are claimed as the first
pair of twins born in Washoe." We reckon
/ not. II that Annauias of the Press will look
/ over the flies of his own sheet, he will find
/ that Gold Hill, within the last four months,
| has, in the game Of population drawn 1.-TWO
pair :" one pair Of boys to Dr.. Castor and
another Of girls, to ]. \. Winterbauer. Whe-
/ Their even these were the first in the Territory
we are not advised; but our town is certain
/ " ahead in its number OF episodes and what
is more, it brings them in matched pairs.
OFF FOR THE DESERT CorSTRY.-C. H.
Dow, superintendent of the Virginia Con-
solidated Company in the New Virginia Dis
,rict, and the Sebastopol Consolidated Com
pany, in the Sebastopol District, returned this
morning to those diggings, to superintend the
work now being done upon the claims OF
which he has the charge. He has left with
us very full information relative to the mines
and lodges of that region particularly those
above named, which We shall put in shape
and publish in our next. A very favorable
opinion is beginning to evince itself with re-
gard 10 the value of the mines in that Vi
cinity.
WISEs.-We acknowledge the receipt Of
several bottles OF genuine Sonoma cham
payne ndpure French claret from the gentle
manly proprietors of the Exchange Billiard
Saloon Messr.. White & YuSt. We have
tested the samples, and pronounce them de-
cidedly healthy-and declare them such as
old Bacchus is supposed to have grown rosy
upon. This establishment keeps up its rep
utation for having on hand some Of the best
wines, and material for French brandy cock
tails, equal to any place in the Territory.
LA1E.-The Pioneer stages, which were
some time since making such fast time, have,
for some days past, come dragging along at
from IA to 81 P. N. The roads over the
mountains are probably in a bad condition
from the recent rains, and the present heavy
snow storm will not have tendency to I'M
prove them. As we don't get our mail till
the next day in any event, few hours delay
does not make any great difference to us.
DRIVING THINGs.-The Overman Compa-
nv are driving the work of grading for their
new machinery and building about to be cree
ted, with the greatest energy. The work is
being carried on night and day, BY about Is
men-as many as can work. A stone wall,
for the foundation of the building, is being
built, and large shaft being sunk at the
same time: so that altogether it makes
busy place.

ness was done in this Court this morning.

BALL.-Don't forget the ball to be given
on Monday Evening next, at Vesey's Hall,
by the Gold Hill Turn Verein. The Society
is commendable one, its members are gentle
men and good fellows, and everything will
be done to make the affair the pleasantest Of
the season. Go and get shaved, buy some
good clothes, go to the ball, get acquainted
