THE EVENING NEWS.

power engine Is now being put in place
at the main shaft of the Empire mine, and
will DOR be in working order. Some
time since the boiler capacity Of the hoist
ing works was so increased that no new
steam generating apparatus is now re-
quired to run the new engine, which will
be q doubling of the old force. and of suf-
fcient capacity to work whatever ma
chinery may be found requisite for the
mine. If a joint arrangement be made by
the Empire, Alpha, Imperial and Bacon
companies, then no pump will be neces-
sary at the Empire shaft, but II not, we
believe a good pump will at once be put
IN the mine. For the general prosperity
of the mines of Gold Hill proper, so far
south as the Confidence, it is to be hoped
that q partnership shaft Of huge dimen-
tons will be at ono sunk so far east Of
the ledge that the vein may be worked at
a great depth, and worked successfully
by joint action. The Empire, as its name
indicates, has long been considered the
richest mine in Nevada, and has been
held for more dollars per foot than any
other mine in the State. The Superin-
,endent, Robert n. Graves. Esq, is work
ing zealously for the better development
Of the rich ledge which the company
fortunately own and when enabled to
open the lowest level will, we doubt not,
restore the mine to its former greatness.
WoRxISG.-Some Of the American Flat
companies are still at work on their claims.
The Nevada is driving ahead, doing their
hosting with a within. The Baltimore
American is having splendid works erect
ed, and will soon be as well prepared to
carry on mining as any claim in the Dis
trict. A majority of the claims, however,
are idle. The buildings over some of the
shafts have been torn down and removed,
but a great many still stand. leaving their
huge and gaily painted signs, as monu-
ments Of past enterprise. The Mother
Lumpkins Company's sign, of magnificent
proportions and gaudy colors, Is still q
landmark. and a remaining monument Of
the times when claims were located and
shaft-houses erected where large and mag
nifcent signs could be displayed TO the
best advantage. But all American Flat
Claims are by no means of such character.
We can select nearly q score Of them that
are pronounced by experienced miners TO
be good, and which we believe to be Of
value. The time will ZONE when they
will be worked. Hard times will not last
forever. There are a large number OF per-
sons at American Flat who have mistaken
faith in the value Of their mines, who still
keep. at work. and will eventually "strike
It" themselves, if outside capital does not
CONT in to aid in the development of their
mines.
VIRGINIA GYMNASIUM. Although q
short time since in operation, the Athletic
Club Of Virginia is rapidly increasing and

with all the Usual means for exercise.
Mr.. Edwards has kindly su~perintended
the arrangement. and has just completed
the work. In the rear has been built a
fine dressing room and a bath room, where
a healthy shower can at any time be had.
The hall is large, we'll lighted and heated,
and is the resort of nearly all Of the best
class Of young men in Virginia, who
