THE MASONIC BALL.-Seldom has there
been seen in the Territory more brilliant
assemblagc than graced Music Hall last night
on the occasion of the Masonic ball. The
absence of all decoration, which struck the
spectator at his first glance as defect in the
/ arrangement of the Hall, was more than
| COMPENSATED for by the gay and fashionable
| dresses of the throng of handsome ladies',
| who nv their beauty Of face and adornment
| made us speedily forget the poverty Of the
| surrounding walls. Those who participated
/ in the TerpSichorean festivities of the enter
| tainment were persons Of the highest stand
inc in the first social circles Of the Territory,
and although the greatest possible amount Of
mirth and gaiety prevailed, not the slightest
rudeness marred the pleasure Of the most re-
fined partaker in the amusements Of the
night. The music was splendid, the Hall
well ventilated and pleasant, all present in
excellent humor, and everything favorable to
the perfect enjoyment Of the entertainment
and it was enjoyed. The night was well
nigh spent before dancing became wearisome
and the gay party disbanded and sought their
homes. The Masonic ball last night will
long be remembered with pleasure BY all who
were present.-ERterprtse.
FAINTED.-During the Grafton Of Mr.. Dbl
BILE at Sutlif's Hall, on the occasion Of the
Masonic celebration yesterday, Mason,
whose name we could not learn. tainted and
fell from his seat. He was instantly caught
BY his brothers near him and carried to the
front of the hall, when after free applica-
ton Of water TO his temples he soon revived
and was then carried out into the open air.
The circumstance caused considerable confu-
sion for few moments, during which num-
Der Of half-SmOthered people left the hall and
so thinped the audience sufficient 10 render
il somewhat comfortable for those who re-
manned.
STRUCK Ir.-Thc Milton Company struck
stratum OF splendid siIver-bearing quartz in
its mine last night. The rock is of / whitish
color. and has strata Of blue Sulphurets Of
silver running here and there all through II.
The extent OF this stratum IS not vet known,
but We doubt not It will prove to be long.
The company has been running its DRIFT IN
quartz considerable distance but 1t has been
quality which produced gold and only
trace Of silver. The character Of this rock is
entirely different from that. This produces
silver and only small portion Of gold.
TIE TIM VEREIH.-Tht Turner'S are
practising every evening IN their new Hall,
mex: door above our office, making prepara-
tons for grand display OF their strength
and agility on Monday evening next, at their
public entertainment. The Hall is finished
in tne style. They have been at considera-
bic expense in repairing their losses BY the
fire. and we hope their Ball on Monday night
will prove pecuniary success.
THE CXGsuS COMPANY has got under full
Roadway at mining again. Its shaft, which
is now being sunk, is 325 feet deep, and the
company is now working night and day sink

rock and hoist all the water which comes into
the mine.
