THE EVENING NEWS.

BULLION CoNPANY.-We are informed
by q stakeholder in this company tina
preparations have been made to hoist
large amount of ore that will mill at least
$50 per ton. We are also informed that
a ledge of rich ore, about TWENTY-FIVE feet
in width has been stripped, and work on
the breast will at once be progressed with
How much reliance is to be placed on
these reports, we cannot of course tell, as
neither stakeholder or reporter is allowed
TO visit the interior of the mine. Of course
,rs have no fault to find, but the owners
Of property, which it is not permitted them
to examine, find good deal OF fault at
this prescription of what they justly think
is an inherent right, and we have been re-
queSted by number of stockholders IN
this and other inaccessible mines, to hint
to the Legislature the propriety OF making
4 law compelling the Foreman or Super
intendent of mine to allow any owner,
who may demand admittance and exhibit
his stock, full privilege TO examine his
own property.
AT THE WRONG END.-Yesterday af-
ternoon. as a crowd of idlers were stand
ing on the corner of B and Union streets,
Virginia, two Cinnamon with uncom-
monty long tails passed by, when smart
chap from Mud Springs" thought it
would be very fine joke to tie these two
Johns together by the tails, and quietly
advancing, succeeded in partly efecting
his object, when laugh from the crowd
caused one of the twain mot Mark Twain
to turn his head, when he saw what the
smart Aleck" was about. John the
larger at once turned right about face,
rolled up his sleeves, exposing pair of
well-muscled arms, on which were figures
cf an anchor engraved in India ink, and
At once led off with his left, which took
effect on the smart chaps nose. Smarty
came back, but was met with stlnger
under his ear, and in about two minutes
John had soundly whaled the fellow, to
the great delight of the bystanders.
MILIrARY.-We are informed that the
Gold Hill Guards, at their last monthly
meeting, appointed a committee to make
arrangements to procure full uniform for
the company. This is very necessary
step towards making an efficient military
organization. and keeping alive proper
degree of interest. The committe are 10
report to the company this evening at the
regular drill, and it is to be hoped that all
members, and any that may wish to join
the company will be present. Come ont,
soldiers, one and all, and sustain this or
sanization by your presence and lntu-
ence. If Gold Hill cannot sustain one full
company, something is certainly wrong.
Is il possible that it has come to pass that
our town canpot be other than an ap-
pendage to Virginia: If so, let US con-
solidate Immediately, and forever remain
Quiescent.
COMPANY NETTING This evening
Kuickerbocker Engine Company No. ),
of Virginia, will hold an adjourned regu-
lar meeting at their Engine house, for the
purpose of transacting unfinished business.
4 prompt attendance is desirable of all the
members. This company has been re-
Gently organized, and being located in the
First Ward, which IS mostly comprised of
wooden buildin $, is a great safeguard
against loss by fire. The company is
composed Of efficient fremen, who are
commanded by officers whose long ex-
perience is an assurance of prompt action
in case Of FIRE.
LATE PERIoDIcALs.-We admire gener-
Gus people, but Burke, of the News De-
pot, opposite the Office of Wells, Fargo &
Co., Virginia, at times overwhelms US with
his generous supplies of Eastern news.
We acknowledge the receipt of package
of late Eastern publications received by
last steamer. among which is Harper's for
January, Frank Leslie's and Harper's
Pictorial Weeklies, New York Clipper,
Ledger, Herald, Tribune, News, Christ
mas papers and comic publications with
out number. Call and see him and get
supply of home reading.
Our people did not so generally observe
Yesterday as has been wont the case.
Away down East where we used to ''pry
up the sum-" etc., the eighth of January
was always one of the glad days of the
wear, and the old hero of New Orleans
was held in reverenced esteem by the
pure-hearted puritans of that religion, and
so devotedly was Jackson regarded, that
his reported death was regarded as hum
bug, and until Uncle Abe appeared for
Americas good, the old hero headed the
straight Democratic ticket.
GOULD s CURRY.-This Company are
now erecting hosting works on D street,
Virginia. A shaft has been sunk to dis
lance of about one hundred and fifty feet
below the level of the lower tunnel, and
we believe it IS the intention of the Com
pany to hoist the ore taken from the mine
through this shaft. The machinery about
10 be erected IS of immense cahbre, and
viii doubtless prove great saving, COM
pared with the present means employed.
ANOTHER RICH STRIKE. - We were
shown last evening some of the richest
specimens of silver-bearing quartz it was
ever our pleasure to behold. This quartz
was taken from a recently discovered lode
near Austin, which is of greater width
than is usual with the lodges so far discov-
cred in that district. The ledge was dis
covered by the Adams brothers and others,
and is a very handsome New Years wind
fall.
The WATER WoRKs.-Yesterday after
noon, Liberty Hose Company put their
hose upon the hydrants, and tried the
stream with different sized nozzles. The
result was most satisfactory. Our citizens
nav feel assured that we are free from
danger of any extensive conaagration along
the line of the water-works. The cost of
those works and the apparatus of Liberty
No. has been well invested.
New PuBL1cArIoNs.-We are in receipt
