THE EVENING NEWS.

TRUcxEE DIsrRIcT.-From a gentleman
Just in from this district we learn that
everything out there is progressing finely.
The main claims are being pushed ahead
with vigor. Some fifty miners are at
work in the different sections Of Thai min
ing region, and the future prospects OF the
different lodges there will surpass the for
mer sanguine expectations Of the several
owners. The Imperial Consolidated Com
panv, located on the famous Perly Ledge,
are down nearly $50 feet, and have a ledge
over eight feet in width, the rock from
which is being sacked and sent to Sun
Francisco for crushing. The assayed value
OF this ore is upward Of $500 per ton.
This company will keep on through the
entire winter with their work. Some talk
is heard Of a New York company Of CAPT
,alists about to purchase it. But from the
rock that we have seen from this claim
and the price offered, we think that the
company will not make the sale, the own
ers thinking it too big a thing for the price
named. The Virginia and Gold Hill Con-
solidated claims are not at present doing
anything. but will shortly have arrange
ments made for the prosecution of the
work. The owners of the Comstock ledge
have a tunnel in 100 feet and will strike
their ledge in a few days. The parties
owning the Pacific Series are now at work
running a tunnel into their series Of lodges
consisting Of FOUR, with a prospect Of
o striking the main ledge, now being
run for. Some very good rock from the
groupings of this company's claim is on
exhibition 1T the c%ompany's Office in Gold
Hill. The Valley Ledge have a shaft
down 65 feet, and are at present drifting
towards the ledge, with a fair prospect,
according to the account Of those interest,"
ed, Of reaching it in a few days. Work
will be commenced soon on the Northern
Light and Moonlight lodges, by Messrs.
Say s Williams. Rock from the Roths-
child ledge has been shipped to New York
for a sample Of the rock of the District,
parties in that city having requested to see
such specimens. Other claims are being
worked in other portions Of the District,
the groupings from which show a fine as
say. The parties owning the toll-road
from these mines to the Truckee river
have no displayed that energy which is
necessary to carry out an enterprise OF the
kind. II is to be hoped that a new COM
pany will get hold Of it. As several mills
will 90 up on the river In the spring, II
being the best place for them owing 10 the
great facilities Of water and wood, let the
miners of that section look to it that they
are not imposed upon by irresponsible
parties in this matter. This District has
labored under great disadvantages ever
since il was discovered, not having had
the ready communication with the outside
world which other mining sections have
had. We are glad TO learn, however, that
next spring the Overland mail stage and
fast freight line will run on the road which
passes within q few miles Of this rich sill
ver-bearing portion Of our State.
STRAPPED UPoN HIS BACK. This
morning a Washoe Indian passed through
our streets with a regular, genuine, old
American grey eagle. On questioning
this wild man Of the forest" we learned
that he caught the bird a short time since,
near the headwaters of Carson river, far
ND in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Tho
bird measured nearly eight feet from tip
10 tip-bus when we gazed upon it we
thought that it would go upwards Of 5O,-
900 miles! II looked immense to US.
We have got the spreading Of the Ameri-
can eagle on the brain. We intend to ne
gotiate with this noble red man of the
forest" for this bird. and present it TO
Andy Johnson as the biggest thing on the
American continent, or any other abiding
place of man. Three times three for the
bird of our nation! Let her float for all
time to come! Our Union forever and
ever
SrEyr IMPRovEMgSrs.-Birdsall is mad.
We like it. Will forgive him if he will
induce the honorable Board of Aldermen
of Virginia city TO make the owner OF the
stone building on the corner Of c and
TAYLOR streets, TO raise the sidewalk on the
north side Of the building, on Taylor
street, some two or three feet. If this is
done a fine street can be made out Of it.
We do hope the city Dads will attend TO
this matter, as Taylor street is the only
street through which teams can get upon
G. street with o load. Now as most OF
the Virginia quartz teams come up that
way, arrangements should be made to
have that portion OF Taylor street in q tit
condition. Don't cripple the mines in
their operations, gentlemen, but render,
instead, all the facilities in your power.
RopBERy.-On Saturday last, u cabin
situate near the southern portion Of our
city. on q street, Virginia, was robbed Of
n purse of money containing about $685..
The matter was placed in the hands Of
officer Lackey. who, or fcrreting it out,
with the assistance Of officer Edwards, ar
rested two parties who are supposed to be
the guilty ones. The money was recovered
through the exertious Of these officers, and
the supposed guilty ones will have a trial
before the Recorder to-day. We are in
formed by our officers that there are a great
number Of thieves in our midst at present,
therefore we would advise our good peo-
treasures.
Music HALL.-Another full house. ard
lots Of fun, lastrnight. A new bill is of.
fered for this evening. Billy Sheppard,
as middle man." does things up brown.
Bill is acting as stage manager at present,
in place Of Mr.. MCGOWAN. who is under
the weather. bu, will shortly make his
temperance among US once more. Eos
ter sung splendidly last evening will
again, tonight. Tuers, Wallace and Ned
Ward were up TO the mark, and Collins
Cure" took as usual. Don't miss this
evening. Think Of Miss J~osephine's cham
pion jig and the Walk Around"
ORPHANS FAIH.-ThIs humane institu-
ton will be opened again this evening,
and probably continue the entire week.
Lots Of fine things to be had at this place
for a mere song-iair ladies TO wait upon
you. dancing, music, etc. Go, everybody,
