THE EVENING NEWS.

of one of the Pioneer coaches which reached
Gold Hill this morning, at half-Past eleven
o'clock. She is decidedly pretty little
woman, and Judging her style we suppose
she does not care how she rideS-aS She was
ON the front seat with her back turned 10 inc
horses. She will doubtless draw large houses
in Virginia, with her MazepPa ana ffeheh
Spy. in which she eXcelS any living actress.
IN The occasion of her arrival, her husband,
OrDbpuS c. Kerr, occupied decidedly lively
and conspicuous position on top OF the hind
boot. He was dressed in black mouStache,
4 plug hat, and gray blanket, and looked
either like tTOubadOUr or Georgia major,
lust returned from the war. He also rode
backwards, which particular fact confirms
our previous opinion, to wit, namely: that
there is something more than ordinarily con-
trary in these children of mirth, adventure,
and bareback eQueStrianiSm. 1--WE an
nounce this fact, because OrpheuS WAS one
OF the Captains of the Mackerel Brigade, Of
the skeleton regiment, William Brown, COM
rnanding, on the Potomac river.l We hope
OrpheuS will not neglect TO call on us while
he is in WaShoe, because We have book
WHICH has his name in IT. Welcome to the
Menken and Orphcus.
YorNs ANERICA.-While 4 crowd was
gazing at the exhibition OF driver Of one Of
the innumera5le quartz wagons that pass our
streets, i specimen of Young America de-
,ermined to have man-whipping perform
ance on his own hook. Selecting a China
man, he commenced pelting him with peb-
oleS. Embol6ened by the non-combative-
ness of the Celestial, or by the oaths of the
inhuman driver, and the whipping process
the dumb brute was undergoing, he showed
the yellow man from the walk, ut which the
Chinese subject took umbraGc. The youth.
believing when 'twere done 'twere well
'twerc done quickly" bounced upon the Chi
naman and commenced ibbinS him in
the most approved style-probably the boy
had attended the last exhibition Of the man
IN art of Sclf-GefenSe on the Sabbath; at first
there were some intentions OF resistance on
the part Of the Chinaman, but another young
American coming to the rescue, attitrdenl-
ling and dancing about like an old ring hight
er, the foreigner sought safety IN fight.
While such swearing and beating of dumb
brutes BY adults is allowed to go UNPUBLISHED,
what can We expect OF youths
VIRGINIA AND STREET AUcTIoNS.-Vir-
GINA beats any city on the Pacific coast for
street auctions. Every day YOU hear the cry
Of going, going, gone on B and c streets,
from one end to the other of their business
partS. Horses, wagons. furniture, stocks,
clothing, watches and the Lord knows what
all" going, going" and "SOne 10 some
lucky cusS. These street auctions are get
ting 10 be n perfect nuisance in that city.
Soma persons seem to have no other place of
business but the sidewalks, and hang out
their red flags from the first convenient avn
post and commence business on whatever
old watch. cart, mule or shotgun chance
throws in their way. Very often the side
walks are so completely blockaded that ladies
are obliged to turn out and 90 round the
crowd, taking the chances of being run over
in the streets, rather than of being mashed
out Of shape BY squeezing through the jam
on the sidewalk.
SURFACE MISES.-We have in Washoe no
very extensive surface mines, at least none
have vet been discovered; but we have mines
of this character which, for richness, are hard
20 beat in anv country. The hydraulic claim
on Cedar Hill, Virginia, which was worked
in % paid, even with the very small stream
of water the owners were obliged to work
with, at the rate OF $40 per day 10 each man.
With head of 100 inches the owners saw it
would pay fifty or sixty dollars per day TO each
man working. There has been no water for
working these claims this winter, and the
owners can only wait and hope for rainy
season. Nearly the whole surface of Cedar
Hill is claimed for placer diggings, and
doubtless would pay well, could water sutt-
cient 10 work the ground be obtained.
JrDeE ATwILL's COURT THIS MORNING.
This Court was occupied all this forenoon
in irving case of Paula Falencina VS.. An
tonic Cardenus and Juanna Vallejo suit
brought for the recovery of premises, and the
same that occupied the attention OF the Court
al day Yesterday. Half dozen Mexican
beauties were in attendance at the Court, as
witnesses and otherwise, and 4 Spanish in
terpreter, counsel, and quite number OF
disintereSted spectators. The case appears
TO be mixed one, is being stubbornly con-
tested and will probably last all day.
Boise RIVER MINES Considerable ex-
element prevails here among the miners in
gard to the Boise River mines Several par
ties have already left this town for that
country, and quite number contemplate
going in the spring. Reports from that
region in regard to the mines are very con-
iicting, but the bare knowledge that there Is
gold found there is sufficient to induce the
miners who have worked the placerS Of Cali
fornia to leave this place, where mines are
worked only by companies, for country
where every man can work for himself.
KEYSTONE No. 2.-This claim is the north
extension of the Keystone, and on the jus
tice ledge. There is but 400 feet in the claim
and the shareholders are very sanguine as re-
cards its merits. \ shaft is now being sunk,
and the work progresses finely. The stock
is in demand, but the holders thereof are not
anxious to sell at present figures, feeling con-
fdent it will be worth more in few weeks.
Claims are looking up in that vicinity.
ARREs1s.-Business is looking up in the
Police Department of Virginia. Last night
four or five arrests were made. All the par
ties were taken in n bunch, we believe, for
being concerned in brutally beating Capt.
Pitcher. They gave him a horribly bloody
face and head. The cuts and bruises he re-
ceived would almost, il not quite, kill COM
mon man.
The MESxES.-The good people of Vir-
ginia, or a great many of them, are consider
ably exercised to-day in regard to Miss Adah
Isaacs. Some say she is going to stop az
the International, others say she will go 70
the CRYSTAL Peak, others say to the Virginia
CITY Hotel, and still others declare that
private mansion has been fitted up for her
Somewhere in the western part of the city.
STRUCK IT.-The Lundin Company, situa-
ted near the Devils Gate, at Silyer City, have
struck the casing of their ledge, which re-
sembles greatly that of Virginia claims.
This is the first instance where such has been
the case. The company's tunnel is in three
hundred feet, striking the ledge two hundred
feet below the surface.
Police COURT, VIReINIA.-Some four or
FIVE men were up before the Court, this morn
ing. Thompson for disorderly conduct, 0ned
SO and costs. Terrell and Wilson for firing
pistols were fned-Wilson so and Terrell
