THE EVENING NEWS.
GExBssEs DIsrR1cr. Although this


auriferous State, yetit lies adjacent therefor
and comprises a part Of the vast mineral
belt that binds the mighty Sicrras in ono
metallic band. Genessee District is a por-
tion Of Plumas county, and is now among
the most notable of California's mining
sections. Last evening we met an old
California friend, Mr.. w. I. Byers, who
for the past year has become identified
with the mining interests Of Plumas
county in general, and Of Genessee Dis
trict in particular, and from whom We
collate the following particulars relative to
the principal copper lodes of Genessee,
which at this time promised to make that
section most famous. Genessee is particu-
iarly distinguished for its rich lodes of
copper. and one Of the most profitable Of
the known mines is the Cosmopolitan,
which has recently been sold to q New
York Company for the handsome sum Of
$3.50, 900. The claim was located three
years since, and has been developed m
what by a shaft that at the depth Of forty
feet shows a ledge Of native copper ore at
least eighteen feet in width, and perfectly
developed between castings of granite and
limestone. The Metropolitan Company's
ledge lies adjacent, and is considered
equally as rich in ore. Smelling works
nav been erected in the district, and are
at work successfully upon the ore from
these and other mines. New mills, new
machinery for new mines, and new enter
prises of all kinds characterize the country,
and bids fair to be a most tlourishing Sec
ton. We are glad to hear so good an ac-
count of Genessee District.
GRAND CoNcERr.-On Monday night,
Madame Anna Bishop and MIR. Chas.
Lascelles appear at the Opera House. Vir-
ginia, in conjunction with the bright, par
ticular stars of the Melodeon troupe. This
combination Of rocaIistic performers is for
one night only. Of course the announce
ment is in itself a prophecy Of a rush to
the box-ofice on Monday forenoon.
Madame Bishops concerts throughout this
portion of the State have been productive
Of more pleasure and have received higher
encomiums from the press than any other
similar entertainment ever afforded us
here. Harry Courtaine will be one Of the
Trio in IN opera piece to be sung by
Madame Bishop. Mr.. LascelleS and an
other vocalist. Walter Bray comes from
the outskirts of the metropolis Of Nevada,
borne down by a heavy burden Of new
Jokes, which he has got to get off speedily
or perish under the load. He says he'll
be brayed in a morter, like Solomon's
fool. il he doesn't have a chance TO shoot
his new wisdom at folly as she flies. And
he will round the boards on Monday
night.
FRoN ExcELsroR.-From a letter, re-
ceived this morning from the above named
district, we learn that Improvements are
still being made. The California Company
are rapidly completing their mill. and
would have had it in running order by
the first Of next month if some of the ma
chinery had not been delayed. The por-
ZION wanted is on the road. and viii be
there in a day or two, and the mill will
be working rock from the California ledge
before Christmas, The company are max
ing everything comfortable for the VIM
ter: have a snug clearinghouse; have
cut and hauled 800 cords Of wood to the
mill, and intend to have 800 more deliv.
cred, piled up and ready for use, during
next month. This company is composed
mostly Of Gold Killers, is the pioneer
company Of the district, and has shown as
much energy as the most enterprising.
We wish them continued good luck.
The REAsox.-we are informed by
parties who understand the action Of
chemicals, that the reason why Morrill's
Drug Store was not entirely burned on
Wednesday night, was the fact that a
barrel Of glauber salts was contiguous to
the flames. and being heated threw out
dense volumes of steam that must have
ouenched the flames. These salts are a
crystalization, containing about eighty
per cent. OF water; hence, upon being
subjected TO intense heat, a dense volume
of steam is at once generated. Huge
globules Of condensed water on the glass
Of the windows seems TO support this
theory.
ARREsrEp.-After the verdict OF the
Coroner's jury who held an inquest on
the body of Teresa Forjas, W. F. Frank,
the clerk censured by the majority Of the
Jury, was arrested on a warrant issued by
Coroner Tucker. as provided by law. and
held to bail in the sum Of $1,000 to await
the action of the Grand Jury on a charge
of manslaughter. The requisite bail was
given and Mr.. Frank was released from
custody.
