THE EVENING NEWS.
Su1PHuR BEps OF HuNBoLDT.-Th

SULPHUR BEDS OF HuNBoLDT.-The
Enterprise says that Mr.. Pease arrived
in Virginia yesterday. with five tons of
pure sulphurets. taken from an extensive
bed of this mineral found near Humboldt
City. The specimens examined by us
were solid, heavy, and so pure and free
from all extraneous matter that 1t ignites
readily on lighted match being brought
in connection with it, melting and drop
ping in flaming globules to the ground.
The thickness of the deposit is not known.
A shaft has been sunk in it to the depth
of thirteen feet without getting through it
and how much further it extends is not
known. 1t is the intention of the pro-
prietors to establish an extensive acid man
ufaetory in this city. 1t is for the par-
pose Of testing the fitness Of the Hum
boldt sulphur for the manufacture of acids
that Mr.. Pease brought in the lot We have
mentioned. We understand that parties
who are posted in the modas operaadi are
expected here from San Francisco to make
some experiments with the sulphur; when,
if the result proves satisfactory, extensive
apparatus will at once be erected here for
the manufacture of acids. Nature does
nothing by halves; in WaShoe we not only
have inexhaustible mines of silver, but to
work these nature has given US inexhaus-
tible beds of salt and of sulphur. We
also have extensive deposits of soda, alum
and other minerals of use to US as
mining people, as coal. lead, hydraulic ce-
ment, FIRE clay and plumbago.
HANG Our Your BANNERS. - Our
town has been newly papered in the most
fantastic style within the past week by
that eminent artist, William Sticker, Esq.
Posters ofevery size, from the pretentious
three shelters" emanating from the
various Conventions, down to the modest
quarter sheets of the independent and de-
pendent candidates who are going it alone,
adorn every fence, house-front, dead-wall,
broken wagon, and even the huge
boulders on the trail where wayfarers do
tarry for a moment on their way between
Virginia and Gold Hill. They give token
of the free and fierce scramble which is
now going on for the loaves and fishes, or
the empty honors of the various offices to
be filed by the sovereigns on Wednesday
next. On Thursday morning they will
be mournful objects to the detected eyes Of
the many miserables whose struggle has
been in vain. They will glare upon these
black and white reminders Of defeat, as
upon the tomb-stones of buried hopes.
Alack and Wel-a-day. We shall SYM
pathize with the moGrnful crew, for
haven't we been there in the good old days
of wore: Oh, Move reckon not. Twas
the man in the wagon.
4 PREsENT.-Mr. Frankenheimer, one
of the substantial men of Gold Hill, who
has been rusticating at San Francisco for
4 month past, returned on the Pioneer
stages last night. Frank is daily reader
of the News, and seeing that it was re-
markedly plucky in politics and upon
matters Judicial, considerably brought US
as a present a splendid hickory cane,
which was presented in due form at nine
o'clock this morning. The present is &C
ceptable, and will be useful in more
senses than one, if occasion requires,
ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN THE MINES

Union. We learn ofno such accident at the
Belcher, and from the fact of Virginia
surgeon being called in, we conclude that
it must have occurred at the Best & Bel
cher, at Virginia.
