THE EVENING NEWS.


the least exaggerated, and is sanguine that
only work is needed thereon to make it the
most inportant mineral regions vet discov-
cred in the Territory. In proof of the faith
that is in him he exhibits several specimens
palpably and extraordinarily rich. There
are already two hundred persons IN the dis
trict, and others are constantly arriving.
The greatest drawback to the place is the lack
of water, but several wells are being sunk,
and it is thought that these will soon furnish
an abundant supply of the aqueous fluid for
the present use. Should the population in
crease, and become permanent, water can be
conducted BY an aqueduct, We suppose, from
places n few miles distant, where it is album
dant. The district has been formally organ
lied and Mr.. \. A. Gull chosen Recorder.
About four hundred locations have been
already taken up, representing somewhere
about 100000 feet, and the work still pro-
crosses. Sites for two town have been To-
Gated. One is called Peytonia, and the other
Superior, after the two chief Lodges. They
are about half q mile apart. The district is
destitute of timber, and every sort of wood
save a low scrubby pine, which answers for
purposes of fuel, and, We may here state, is
eight miles northwest from Carson Lake
and seventy-nine from Gold Hill.
AMERICAN FLAr.-The center Of mining
attraction, at present, appears to be Ameri-
can Flat, in Gold Hill District, and the in
terest manifested in the mines of that local.
" is daily increasing. We took stroll in
that direction yesterday, and were surprised
at the extent of the recent improvements,
and the amount of labor which has been and
is being expended upon the claims IN that
locality. From information derived from
those who, BY long experience, are best quail
i6ed to Judge, we think there can be no doubt
that the Curnstock lead runs around the
north and west ends of the Flat. Tracing
the Belcher, Oycrman, Uncle sam and Bal
tic, We came 10 the KnickerbOcker claim,
finding the same general characteristics IN
all. The North American has erected 4 large
building over their shaft, rs well as the Bal
tic. The Knickerbocker are also erecting
building, preparatory to introducing ma
chinery in their shaft, which is now nearly
$50 feet deep. The Baltimore American, ly-
ing in front, struck their ledge some time
since, and have been improving their tunnel,
preparatory to taking out rock. Passing
along farther, we find the Golden Swan, Ari-
IONA, Globe, Lee, Argo, Jenny Lind, Cont
mental, Rock Island and Napoleon, all on
the same range. All these are driving their
work with ali possible dispatch, all being
satisfied they have the real thing. They
have our best wishes.
Null AT CoNo.-The new mill in Como
continues in active operation, and the re-
turns from the rock has so far proved salts
factory. The richness Of the mines in that
district seems to have become settled fact,
and the chcapncSs of fuel and incxhaustible
supplies of water, renders the expense OF
working il much less than in most other dis
tricts in the Territory. Arrangements have
been made to erect several other mills in the
spring, and owners of claims over there have
an assurance that they will be able TO realize
paving dividends from their mines IN few
months, whatever the market value OF the
stock may be in the Virginia and San Fran
cisco marSets.-tRioH.
CoREEcTroS.-ThatK leptomania Johnny
who went for soldier" after stealing Judge
Kellocs's pistol, enlisted in one of the In
fantry and not the Cavalry regiment. The
LIST Lieutenant SAYS, they have no klepto-
mania chaps in their crowd, and they don't
want any. Our town police have been look
ing for the fellow. for a day or two past, but
he has vamoSed the ranch, and We expect It
is doubtful whether his stealing propensi-
ties have allowed him to remain in camp Of
any of our military companies.
GOLD AND SILVER BEARING RocK.-It
has been repeatedly noticed that there is a
from the Gold Hill and Virginia districts in
the proportion of gold in silver, which they
respectively contain. The Virginia mines
contain very little gold, while the proportion
Is very large ut Gold Hill. Il Is common
theory that gold-bcaring quartz Is liable to
run out but experience here shows that on
the contrary, il runs into silver rock, which
is usually immensely rich.
COIN HILL TrRx VERErN.-At \ quar-
terly meeting of the Gold Hill Turn Verein
held last night, the following persons were
elected officers for the next three months:

Begemann, ID Secretary; I. G. Mayer, LIST
Treasurer; Cunrad Haub, ID Treasurer;
Fred. Uhl, lst Turnwart; F. G. Grove, ID
Turnwart; Louis Wagner, Zueswart-
DEsERrER ARREsTED.-A man named
Campbell was arrested in Gold Hill last
night, BY order of the Captain of one of the
companies stationed at Fort Churchill, for
attempting 10 desert from the ranks of the
company. He is now in the Station House,
and, VIC expect, will be returned TO the
Fort. A severe example made of some of
these deserterS might have salutary effect
in stopping that kind Of ' shenanigan.
RArIFIcATIoS.-Them mass meeting at Ma
CURES Opera House last evening to ratify the
State nominations. was large one The

tuition were torn in Shreds-
FIRE.-The regular monthly meeting of
this evening, at Vesey's Hall. By the way,
we understand that 4 committee has been
regularly appointed to solicit subscriptions
for the purchase of apparatus. Why do not
they " rustic around and accomplish some
thing. A big FIRE appears to be requisite TO
stir our citizens up in this behalf.
A PRIZE FIGHr.-We are informed that
"Soap" and Haley, two lightweight profess
Sors Of the manly art, had prize fight at
noon to-day in an open lot, on street, Viz
ginia- 4 great crowd was present The po-
