THE EVENING NEWS.

CITY lust now. Some are thought to have
yery good claims, vet the majority are DOOM,
ed to disappointment-their claims are iounu
TO "pinch out" and "peter on election uay'
Il IS about as safe to work along INDUSTRIOUS
" in the common bedrock as to starr IN on
the political lead, or any OF MS extensions Sons,
dipS. spurs, angles or variations. There
will doubtless, be hot times in Virginia on
the day of the election, perhaps, blood
spilled.
REcHERcHE.-As there are not "bold SOL
der boys" enough in our community, as
gallants, for all the ladies, they are deter
mined to show their admiration for them, by
adopting, themselves, the bright button. Yes
tsrday we saw very elegant garment-we
know not the name of it-trimmcd with gilt
buttons The fair wearer looked super6ly.
She was handsome and the garment WAS
handsome and she wore il with becoming
grace. The bright buttons futtering about
in the wind were dazzlingly brilliant. We
wished ourself " soldier laddie." Young
men of Gold Hill, why won't You form a
military company and don the uniform:
DUsr--Last evening we were congratula-
ting ourselves upon one day when our eyes
and lungs would be free from the intolerable
noyance 10 every one for weeks. \ stream
of water from mine on the Divide, flowed
down the hill as far rs the Vesey Hotel,
saturating the dust so thoroughly that not
even 4 gale could have raised il. We were
longing for the water TO reach our office, but
L ceased running, and to-day the wind blows
more furiously than ever. Clouds OF dust
roll about, binding the eyes and penetrating
everywhere.
MINING AROUND SILVER CRY is being
carried on with Yigor, Judging from the great
number of excavations in the side-hills
around that town. Tunnels and shafts exist
in such prodigious numbers as TO completely
bewilder person who searches after par
ticular clam. 'riS worse than American
Flat in that respect, for the people here have
not gone to the expense of placing sign
boards over their mines. However, many Of
the mines are very yalUable-haye large
lodges and rich rock; but far too many are
fit only to give name to stock, bearing on its
face the vignette OF a wild cat, more hideous
than ever roamed among the sun-burnt hills.
MAerIRE's OPERA House. They are
busy at this house preparing for opening to-
night, with the French Spy, which they have
been rehearSing all the fore part Of the week.
1leTe WILL DC in lullLeu>C EuSA lOL STATS, sAS
nearly everybody is curious to see the Men
ken. Well, tonight, those lucky enough to
get into the house will have 4 chance to
"Spy" her.
wIxDY.-It was exceedingly windy at Viz
ginia this forenoon. The air was almost con-
stantlv filled with dust, scraps of paper,
strawS, shavingS and-curses. Straws are
said to show the way the wind blows, but we
think the "way it blowed" might have been
told quite as readily BY the curses.
TRorr.-Those who are fond of trout
should lose no time in securing big feed Of
said fish, as we are informed that the last are
now in the market that will be brought in for
six weeks. The law for their protection be-
ing now in force, none can be taken till after
the spawning season.
FIeHr on THE DTvIDE.-There was quite
spirited set-to between couple Of men on

elared a dividend, a pair Of exceedingly
bloody noses. Neither of the combatants
was very badly hurt.

The GOULD & CURRY MINE still continues
to "giye out" at 4 rate calculated to astonish
the natives of other lands. Their daily ship
ments Of bullion would even our own people,
but that they are too hardened by the con-
slant sight and handling of the precious
metals to be astonished at anything in that
line.
CoAL.-We have been shown some fine
looking coal from the town of Chrystal Peak,
or vicinity. 1t is the brightest and most
