EVENING NEWS.


ledge has yet been worked. The mine is
kept free from water by two pumps, the
upper one of which is ten and the lower
one SIX inches in diameter of barrel, and
OF SIX feet stroke. A force Of men are
kept at work in the 230-foot level, and
are taking out some very good ore. As
soon as the shaft is sunk down fifty or
sixty feet deeper, another drift will be run
IN to the ledge, and the company will then
\ again take out an abundance of rock.
We noticed at the claim last evening a
couple of iron tubs which Captain Taylor
has recently received from San Francisco,
where they were gotten up to order after
drawings prepared by him. They will be
used in the middle shaft, and are so ar
ranged that they are self-emptying. By
the new arrangement work will be facili-
tated. and q great deal of heavy lifting
will be avoided. There is o consider
able more water coming into the shaft
than is used to supply the company's
hoisting-works and mill, but not enough
to seriously inconvenience the work of
sinking the shaft. The new hosting en-
CINE works admirably, and is now used
to do the pumping as well as hosting
from the mine. The Superintendent,
Captain Taylor, is rapidly getting things
into ship-shape, and will soon have the
mine in a condition that the ledge can be
worked regularly and proftably.
BENEFIrs.-This evening the boys at
tached to the Yellow Jacket Hose Com
pany No. ., Of this town, will receive a
benefit from the splendid troupe Of Cooke,
Wilson s Zoyara. The company inan-
cially need some assistance, and nc better
opportunity will ever be offered our citi-
zens to make a quiet donation than to-
night, for not only will it be the means of
aiding q bully fire company, but it will
afford an opportunity to all of witnessing
an excellent performance Of equestrian
and gymnastic agility. Tomorrow after
noon and evening, the Charitable Fund Of
the Virginia Fire Department will be the
recipient Of a benefit from the same COM
pany, who will leave Gold Hill and arrive
in Virginia tomorrow. The cause is
worthy, and will be well contributed to.
w. Stephenson. the fascinating stage
manager at the Opera House, will receive
q complimentary benefit at the Opera
House, some time next week, rendered by
the Worrell Sisters. Stephenson is a
worthy gentleman, and will, we are sure,
receive a " bumper"
JEwBLs.-Most people admire the beau
tiful, both in nature and art, and the
American people are as prone to look well
to the Advancement of person as any race
on the globe. Charley Young, at his
establishment, No. II South C street, Vir-
GINA, offers for sale a beautiful stock of
jewelry. There you may find the origi-
nal watch which regulates the sun every
morning, while scattered around in flash
ing luxuriance, are diamonds, pearls,
opals, garnets, amyethests, carbuncles and
blazing stones Of jet or carbon, flash
brightly through the carressing light.
Well, what do we cares let 'em fash.
We couldn't buy q bits worth-butf folks
with coin can get q bargain at Ioung's.
WARN.-Yesterday wa an unusually
warm day, in comparison with the weather
we have been enjoying for the last two
weeks. During the latter period, cool
southern breezes, cold nights, and occa-
sionally rainy days, have been the order
of things; but yesterday the sun shone
with its wonted summer vigor, and linen
coats and lemonades were in decided de-
mand. As a result, we notice the house
flies are beginning to swarm, and house
keepers are shielding their apartments
with mosquito bars, and using all posi-
BILE measures to rid themselves OF the
pests.
BAPTIST SocIAL.-The gathering of the
members and friends Of Rev. Mr.. Nc
Latferty's Society, held at the Old Council
room last evening, was well attended, and
proved q pleasant affair. We deem social
gatherings of this description as produc-
tive Of the greatest benefit socially and
morally, and think every encouragement
should be held u to the young men and
women of our towns to foster a spirit OF
sociability and good feeling, which Yields
such q potent power over young men IN
keeping them from the evil associations in
which our country abounds.
PRICES REDUCED. - We understand
that owing to the great scarcity OF rock
part Of. our mills have been undertaking
the others in the prices charged for crush
ing, and instead Of getting 500 to $25 per
ton, which was the common price six
months ago, they are now crushing for
ST. and SIS. At these figures mills can
hardly work out a proper living for their
owners, and we trust that the yield Of the
mines will soon be so great that it will be
an object to their managers to pay mill
men a proper rate for the labor performed.
To BE RArrLED.-Billy Mcintosh has
concluded to rattle a beautiful painting OF
Washoe Engine No. 4, which may be
seen at the Nevada Saloon, corner OF b
and Union streets, Virginia. The draw
ing to be had on Sunday evening next.
We would suggest that the winner OF the
painting present it to their fairest and
best member, little Jennie Worrell. She
would doubtless prizei it for many years to
ome
For DRILL.-Young America Engine
Co. No. . will be out for drill on Sunday
afternoon ut hall past 2 CLOCK ana iuII
attendance of members, Including Theo-
dore Hale. Gillespie and Winton, is en-
pected, for the boys propose to throw
water further, higher and longer than has
ever been accomplished in Nevada, and
they want the breaks well manned.
GYMNAsr.-Last evening, Mr.. l.. 7.
Ward, a c~ompositor in the Enterprise
office, appeared us a volunteer at the
benefit of Courtaine, and executed several
brilliant feats on a horizontal bar with an
ease and suppleness Of movement that be-
speak him a fine gymnast. He appears
again on Saturday evening, for the benefit
Of the Fire Department.
APPRoPRIATE.-We notice that a lodge
of Good Templars has been formed in
Virginia. Some of our friends have been
