THE EVENING NEWS.

were TO represent to confer WIN the SoIh-
mittee upon some points connected with
the proposed plan of consolidating our
city and county governments, but OF these
only Mr.. Williams appeared. Present.
Messrs. Paul, Mills, Earl, Collins, Tritle,
Prizer, Glover and Paxton. Mr.. Collins
took the chair. \ Consolidation Bill,
drawn up by Mr.. Curtis, was read. This
bill seemed Objectionable in many respects,
and in some defective. 1t did not seem
to meet the views of the Committee. Mr..
Williams explained at some length his
views in regard TO the constitutionahty of
the proposed scheme of consolidation, and
in regard to the best plan for carrying out
said scheme. After considerable amount
Of consultation and discussion, Mr.. GLOW.
or. of American City, moved that the
Chair appoint committee of three, to
consult with such counsel as they NAV
think proper to select, and obtain their
opinion in writing in regard to the consti-
tutionality of the proposed consolidation.
Mr.. Glover's motion was carried, and
MessrS. Tritle, Paxton and Earl were ap-
pointed such committee. On motion, the
meeting adjourned to meet at the same
place this afternoon at o'clock. TO receive
the report of the Committee of Three
Enterprise.
INCREASE OF CAPAcIrY.-The Marrimac
Mill Company have one of the finest mills
in the country, and the motive power is
derived from turbine wheel, which is,
we think, the only one of the kind now in
use in the State, and which was first
brought into general use at the Fairmount
Water Works, Philadelphia. These
wheels, it is now ascertnined, are capable
Of running more machinery, than any
other make, and the one at the Marrimac
Mill, which is but five feet in diamater,
with pressure of 20 cubic feet per min
ute. has been running twenty stamps,
weighing $50 pounds each - twelve
Wheeler pans and eight settlers. But
this amount of work was accomplished so
easily that more pans and stamps have
been added, and the mill is again in full
operation with increased capacity for
crushing ore.
New PUNP.-The Gold Hill Draining
Company are engaged in erecting ma
chinery to run their new pump. The
machinery is being put up at the Alta
mine Of the Imperial Company, and will
consist of direct action cornish engine,
Of 250-horSe power-the pump being
,en-Inch one, and capable Of raising large
quantities of water. The shaft of this
mine is also being repaired ind sunk to a
greater depth, ard as soon as the pump
goes into operation several mines now ly-
ing unproSpected or worked, will at once
undergo q vigorous treatment, for the
mines of Gold Hill are unquestionably
more generally paying in their character
than any in Nevada.
DRAWING TO \ CLoSE.-The time for
the drawing of the sixth Grand Gift En-
terpise of Eaves, Nye * Co., is rapidly
approaching, and next Saturday is the
day appointed unto all men 10 be informed
of their good or Ill luck. But few tickets
are left, and those are being rapidly "gob-
bled up BY the anxious throng who have
a weakness for handling those stacks Of
Juveniles which are so temptingly dis
played. Well, some lucky man will be
winner, but nary printer or editor Will
take trick faint in the papers.
CHALLENGE MrNE.-A new cage has
recently been put in their shaft, and about
forty tons of excellent ore is being raised
per diem. Since we last visited this mine
thew have raised up" on the ledge,
which is pitching sharp at an angle OF
about forty degrees. The vein has
Strengthened up" and the ore is return
ing large net profit 10 the fortunate
owners-and under the efficient direction
of L. W. Coldbath, is being managed in
the right manner.
HEAVY SHIPMENT OF SULL1oS.-This
morning Wells, Fargo Il Co. shipped from
their Virginia office 2,2l9 pounds Of bull
lion, worth, according to assay, S73,0l6.
This is one of the heaviest shipments for
the past month. We believe that the
amount will continue TO increase, and we
will soon be able to say, with the poet,
4" We are coming, Father Abraham -
$500, 900 more.
CHRISTMAS TuRKEY.-A fat turkey was
sent, bv Wilson, to Bob McCOmb at Salt
Lake, that kind of herb being unget-at-
able there, the Mormons having whole
some hatred of &" gobblers." A few years
ago Mr.. Turkey would have grown old
on the passage, but now his bones will be
picked clean by the hungry agent OF the
Overland Stage at that city.
LAST CRANcE.-One of the agents OF
Eaves, Nye & Co., will be at Charley
Whites saloon, in this place, this evening"
prepared to furnish tickets to all who

this is the last chance.
CONDITION OF RoADs.-The roads, both
on the Overland and Pioneer routes, are
in excellent condition, and both lines OF
stages are making excellent time. The
roads are rough, but frozen hard, and the
carriages run easily over the glttering
snow.
