THE EVENING NEWS.

Inelr lYeS are QeSpalreu OF. Two cllluren
of Mr.. George Tallmadge, corner of Car
son and Howard streets, are IN very
critical condition, being horribly salivated.
Their mouths are so swollen that they are
unable TO keep them shus. The "local T"
of the PitIte is informed that workmen in
the mines are in the habit of cabbaging
humps of very rich ore, and when they
have thus secured a sufficient quantity
they work it. or have it worked on shares
by Mexicans living in that part of the
town. They got about $500 out OF a
batch which they worked in this way the
other day. They have been playing this
sort of game ever since the dull times set
in. Those who have suffered by breath
ing the air thus poisoned are swearing
vengeance against these guerrillas. Some
swear they will shoot the first man they
catch at this work of outdoor retorting.
1t appears that little furnaces are built, on
which old pots filed with amalgam are
placed. Once the pots are heated, fumes
of mercury are rapidly given off. which
are swept by the wind all over that part
of the town. Thus in retorting one batch,
several pounds of quicksilver are sublima-
ted, and mingling with the atmosphere,
the poison is foated off to be inhaled by
all in the vicinity.

New ARAsTRA.-An arastra Is being
built down the canon few rods below
the Suecor mill. The gentlemen who are
building it intend to put up one of the first
class kind. There are now two in the i'm
mediate vicinity of where this one is build
ing, which are both doing good business.
The persons who have set about building
this one intend to construct another after
this is completed. There are several claims
in the vicinity of where these are built,
which produce Gold ore, and it has been
found from experience that this gold ore
can be worked cheaper and better in Aras-
tras than in the ordinary quartz mills.
There is, therefore, considerable demand
for them for the working of this kind of
rock, and as they can be used for working
other rock as well, and can be eheaply
constructed and are profitable property,
they are put up down the canon wherever
there is water power to drive them to be
had. .-..-...-.--.--.....- ..
WAsHoE TRour.-Ar. Moses korn, of
Gold Hill, has been rusticating at the
Glenbrook House for several days past /;
and while enjoying the good things with
which Beatty Of the Glenbrook feeds his
boarders, he has not forgotten US. The
Express this morning brought US in a
splendid silver-sides trout mot quite as
big as your Leg for a change OF
diet. The present is acceptable; and
Moses Korn, or "any other man " who
had anything to do with sending it, is q
gentleman. The Glenbrook mint juleps
and Tahoe trout are refreshing these hot
DAYS. So say those who have been there.
we hope Beatty will not tolerate korn
at his house a great while, for, being
notorious gourmand, he will empty the
Lake of its fish in less than three months
if he has a chance.
New HorEL.-There has been an ad-
ditional force of workmen put at work on
the Pioneer Hotel, which is being built
down the canon in the lower end Of town.
They are driving work rapidly ahead, and
will have it completed in few days. 1t
will be large, commodious hotel when it
is completed. 1t is nearly opposite to
where the Piute Mill is being built, and
only short distance from where the new
hosting works of the Justice Company
are being constructed. This mine will
soon be opened by its new shaft, and then
q large force of men viii probably be put
at work by that company. The mill, too,
will give employment TO a large gang of
men. and it is to provide for them that
this hotel has been built. II IS so situated
that it is bound to have good custom.
DEDICATION OF ST. PATRIcK's CHURCH.
Yesterday morning the new Church of
St. Patrick was formally dedicated by
Right Rev. Bishop o'Connell of this do
cese, assisted by Rev. Fathers O'Reilly
the resident pastor, and Manogue of Vir-
sinia. Previous TO the celebration Of
High Mass, the Bishop addressed the con-
gregation upon the subject of the virtues
and noble works of the illustrious Saint
to whose patronage the edi6ce was dedi-
Gated. After mass, Father O'Reily de-
livered an impressive and srgumentative
sermon. the subject being the actual pre-
senee of God the Son as embodied in the
Holy Eucharist. The audience was large
and attentive.
AF1RE.-About shutdown, last even
ing, an immense conAagration occurred on
top of Mount Davidson! The flames
ragged terri6cally; and viewed at dis
lance, it is generally conceded that the
whole town ofDan de Guile must have
been burnt up. At the present writing,
all tina, we can see standing on the town
site is the hberty-pole with the glorious
