THE EVENING NEWS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sill continue

between the City Fathers Of Virginia and thu
fremen Of that place, in a style that would Dc
honor TO a Seward or Palmersson. At the
meeting Of the Board of Aldermen of Viz,
ginia last evening, Alderman Eddy offered
the following, which was unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The 6remcn Of this city have
considerably evinced by their appearance in
large numbers at a meeting held on Sunday
afternoon last, q disposition to confer with
the city authorities relative to propositions
intimately connected with the welfare of their
excellent Department: and whereas, it was
found impossible for this Board TO attend on
the occasion Of the meeting held last Sunday
afternoon, owing TO the absence and inability
Of the Aldermen; and whereas, there exists
an imperative necessity for n rrtrenchment in
the expenses Of the, Fire Department, owing
to the fact that the city charter limits the
expenses Of said Department to the sum Of
$4,000 per annum, and that the expenses OF
said Department will inevitably exhaust the
said limitation within a few months unless
some retrenchment be made; and whereas, il
is the desire Of this Board to pursue a course
toward the Fire Department which NAV, If
possible, be not misconstrued as antagonist
cal to the Department, but for its welfare /;
therefore,
" Resolrea, That the ChieEEnSineer, First
and Second Assistant Engineers, Secretary
Of the Department and the Board Of Dele
gates be and they are hereby invited to con-
fer with his Honor the Mayor and this Board
On the subject of the expenses Of the Fire
Department, on Friday night, the 18th inst,

ALPHA CoMPANY.-The Alpha Company
this morning struck a rich pay streak in their
lower level at the depth Of about $50 feet.
They do not yet know how extensive the de-
post is, but we saw some Of the rock this
morning which we pronounce very rich, and
we hops the new pay streak will prove to be
immense. The company have now got their
building with all ITS additions to accommo-
date their new machinery nearly completed.
Their machinery, which was started up the
other day, works TO a charm, and especially
the new contrivance, planned BY Mr.. Corey
and Capt. PlaiSted, and constructed at the
Fulton Foundry, by which both ends Of the
immense great reels there in use are set for.

ting everything around their mining works
arranged in the most convenient order posi-
BILE, and their new works have evidently been
constructed with an eye to economy Of labor.
Their timber yard is so contiguous TO their
carpenter shop and their wood yard is so
near their furnaces that little labor is re-
quired to be expended in handling wood or
timber, and their facilities for taking their
rock from the shaft TO the dump are equal to
those Of any claim in GUld Hill.
COMO DEErER.-The overman Company,
we understand, are abou. to go deeper in
their mine. The rock which that company
recently had crushed did not yield so well as
anticipated, and the company have At present
stopped taking out rock. The ore which the
company recently had crushed came partly
from the $40 feet level and partly from nearer
the surface than that. But the company
have machinery sufficiently powerful TO en-
able them to sink down much deeper, and
consequently they intend TO do so forthwith.
In the meantime they can carry on mining
operations in the upper levels and take from
the ledge at those points such portions OF the
rock as will pay. There is some water TO be
commended with in sinking, but it does not
have to be raised 10 the surface, It being dis
charged into the company's tunnel. which
connects With the SHAFT at a depth OF 2'o feet.
RUSHING woRx.-The Yellow Jacket Co.,
which less than a week ago commenced
grading around the Pioneer shaft for the pur-
pose Of putting up hosting machinery, al
ready have a building erected on the spot, the
foundation for the engine laid, the boiler set,
and furnace nearly completed. The frame
work will be completed and the machinery
ready for operation in about a week. This is
doing work with a good deal more than ordi-
nary rapidly. A force OF men is ut work
constructing a dump in front Of the new
works, and soon we will see something I'M
common even in this fast town-rock hoisted
and deposited on the dump within two weeks
from the time a pick was first struck TO COM

the south, instead OF to the Rhode Island
mill as mentioned heretofore. The opening
Of this street along the side-hill, back OF the
mills and foundries along the canon, in the
lower part Of town, will be OF great assistance
to them in the way Of facilitating the deliver
ing Of wood, lumber, and other heavy mate
rails, which they constantly require for use.
I, will also make very desirable building lots
OF the ground on either side, for most Of the
length Of the street, by making them easily
accessible.
New DANCING ScHooL.-The attention OF
those who would like TO learn to become
good dancers, is directed to the advertisement
OF Me,srs. Nilling,on and Diamond, in an
other colu mn. Both these gentlemen are
well known in this community as teachers Of
dancing, and persons who are DESTROYS OF
acquiring that accomplishment can never
have q better opportunity Of doing so. The
Soiree which comes off each Thursday even
ing, should no, be missed by those who enjoy
good social company.

mines, let him take a walk back Of Gold
