THE EVENING NEWS.

EEfREsRISe.-Yesterday afternoon, at
an hodf late enough to establish the fact
the Constitution was 'goner" and that
that the Regular Union Ticket was case Of
the cholera !; when every man around this
Office was. grihnipg horrible CHASTITY smile,
and packing his traps for the River OF Salt
"a episoad" happened. An Omnibus stop
ped in front Of our door, filed with band OF
horn-tooters and heaters Of drums. Chief
among these torturers Of sounding brass was
the long legged, yermillion-headed cuss, who
aforetime used to carry our paper on the
Virginia route. MAY, the devil broil him.
For a mortal half hour did that internal
band, foot prns Of exultation in our ears and
faunt. the banner Of "Constitution-No"
before our eyes. Talk about rubbing tin"
will you? Music hath charms has il: We
reckon not.
MORE SALr.-An immense deposit Of salt
of the finest quality, has just been discovered
near Sand Springs Station, on the Overland
Route, between this place and Reese River.
This deposit of salt is about seven miles IN
length and one mile in width. II is being
taken up in claims Of one acre each. The
salt plain is situated where hundreds have
seen and passed BY it, but all supposed the
deposit to be purely alkaline. The fact IS
that the upper stratum is wholly alkali, but
at the depth of few inches the salt stratum
is found. There is supposed to be enough
salt in this one locality to supply not only
Nevada Territory, but the whole Pacific
coast. Where a hole is dug and the salt is
taken out, the hole is soon filed up again by
a new deposit of the article.
ANOTHER New MINING DIsrRIcT.-The
Enterprise says new mining district has
Just been laid off on the west side Of Pyramid
Lake, called Pyramid District. Several leads
have been located in the District. We have
seen specimens of the ore OF two OF these
both have the appearance OF being rich IN
silver, and in one native gold is visible.
Those who made the above locations say the
district is full of quartz. The leads are from
six to thirty feet in width, and some OF the
large veins are much stained with copper:
We have no doubt but excellent mines will
be found in this locality when the various
leads come to be properly developed.
FROM SouAw VALLEY MINEs.-The Bal
ietin learns by gentleman who has made a
trip to this newly discovered mining district,

pire Company at Gold Hill. This ore is

and contains much native silver. This COM

be taking out enough ore to keep ten addi-
tional mills running. As all our mills are

are the ten mills needed to be found: Echo
