THE EVENING NEWS.

4 Moment OF HoRRoR.-I.ast evening,
our friend Livermore, of the well known
firm of Rice < I.ivermore, concluded to
take a ride on horseback, in order TO have
s"solus' cogitation on things pertaining
10 this undane sphere, and but little
needing Il, direction he TOOK, was mildly
iounccd Er an honest nag a long distance
on the Opair Grade. Now, L'vermore Is
given TO dreaming. waking dream we
mean, and last night, his soul eiatcd with
Abe and Andv's triumph, gradually
seemed 10 leave its earthly tenement, and
soar. and soar, and soar, and-brt things
don't always run smooth, and so when
nur horsennn was aroused from his reye-
ria nv hearing the ominouS click Of shot
GUN. and rough voice calling him to
stop and Z" hold up his hands, his dreams
vanishcd-hi, thoughts travelled with the
-apidity of lightning, first to the dear
ones at home. then to q dollar and three
short bits in his waistcoat lining, again to
a gold watch, former JOY and pride, and
finally to small black bottle suspended
from his saddle, containing a soothing
stimulant" On the one hand he weigh
ed all these things, on the other his life,
and made the decision not to tamely sub
nit TO extortion from any Knight of
the road. Giving his faithful and
rusty steed the sharp spur, he wheeled
and come with the rapidity Of wind back
towards friendly shelter. The dust was
suspicious, the moonlight flickered TO his
advantage, and no murderouS bullet
pierced his heart. and thus onward he
came "a solitary horSeman covered with
dust, hatless and in trcpidation, "a thing
the thrush might pity as she sits broodins
in ouie; DER her lonely nest. Moral-lt
is not safe 10 ride on the Ophir Grade
after dark.
Our MINING PRosPEcTS.-Our mining
prospects were never brighter than at
present. The dark cloud of litigation
which long lowered upon our mines now
begins TO rise. In spite of the curses that
have been heaped upon Washoe BY the IN
iudicious and unfortunate, our mines will
soon stand falrer than ever before in the
ewes of the world. Late developments
prove that immense deposits of the richest
kind of ore exist through the whole course
of the Comstock vein between this city
and Gold Hill. and companies that have
labored for years and spent vast sums OF
money are now reaping the reward OF all
their labors and expenditures. New
mills are everywhere going into opera
ton. and every day our bullion shipments
increase. Nearly every mine III Gold
Hill is in Hourishing condition, as are
all the leading claims below that town.
The Chollar has never looked more prom
ising than at present. nor the Savage. nor
the Potosi, and good ore is again being
found in the lower level o: the Gould
Curry. At no time have we ever shipped
more bullion than a. present. Although
we still hear IN occasional growl about
dull times, we find few who have not
coin in their pockets-at least enough
70 - keep the devil out" We have the
richest mineral country in the world. II
only needs deve.opmen;-work. Now
that our election IS over, let our people
give their attention TO our mines.-E"ter-
prise.
