THE EVENING NEWS.

The YELLOW JACKET SHAFr.-The ne'
shaft of this immense mine has been com
nenced, and q, this time has attained
depth of forty-fve feet, being twenty-five
fee, in length and seven feet and e'Sh
inches in width, divided into four com
partmen,s-three OF which are TO be each
f,ur by five feet in the clear. and the Other
% be used as pump shaft VIII be nvt
feet square. So far the hosting OF the
dirt has been achieved with an ordinary
w,pdlass and bucket; but Saturday night
last, work was suspended. and a donkey
engine is now being rapidly put IN posi-
non, which il is believed Will do the
necessary work to sink the shaft 10 the
trp;h o. three hundred feet, when heavy
machinery vii! be erected for working the
mine. This is one Of the largest shafts in
the State, and demonstrates the fact that
Mr.. Winters evidently understands that
!. is economy TO sink on the ledge even
while tens of thousands Of tons of good
ore are in sight, and whenever that may
become scarce new levels may he opened
alternately in either shaft, and thus a con.
slant supply of mineral be secured. Hat
the Ophir and Gould & Curry mine:
adopted the same method of working theil
lodges, the present want Of ore would MOI
have been experienced.

Ssw ESeISE.-Yesterday the elegant
new engine of thu Crown Point Company
was started in motion for the first time,
and we are pleased to say runs with al
most perfect accuracy. The engine was
manufactured at the Fulton Foundry, in
this county; is thirty-hye-horse power,
one foe. cylinder and two feet stroke.
The finish is plain, but the whole is most
substantially constructed and the patterns
are ali Of the most improved kind. The
boiler is also new-fifteen feet in length
and sfty-four inches in diameter. Our
townsman Mr.. Joseph Low. superintend-
ed tho erection of the works, which are
most credirable to our home manufactures.
The engine IS used only for hosting ore
from the mine, but is SO arranged as to
admit Of the attachment Of a pump OF
sufficient capacity to drain the mine OF
what water will probably be encountered
in sinking FIVE hundred feet.
TIE OPERA HorsE.-In consequence
Of some disagreement between a female
"s,ar" and the management, no perform
s1ce was given las, evening. 10 the cha
grin Of large number Of people who
went 10 the Opera House 10 witness the
sterling comedy Of" Money" This week
two performances, complimentary in their
character, will be given, and on Saturday
or Sunday evening the Opera House will
open with q splendid minstrel troupe

mission. The company will not be COM
posed of the usual melodian hash

magnificent performers, the best talent in
Nevada, who will nightly afford the fun
loving portion Of the community an OPP
portunity to laugh and grow fat
DrxINo the pas, week, bullion in 50
sacks, weighing $40 pounds. and worth
1921, 5O4, has been shipped from Wells,
Fargo s Co.'S office, at Gold Hill. All
of this handsome sum is the product OF
Gold Hill mines; besides which amount,
q much larger sum properly belonging on
the credi, side Of the Gold Hill account,
has been shipped from Virginia. Mr..
Conrad Weigand, an experienced assayer
of precious metals, has, however, given
notice of his intention 10 open at this
place an assay Office, where our mines and
mill-men can feel certain of accurate as
saws and speedy returns. That office IS
now in operation on the east side Of Main
street, and in future our bullion shipments
will doubtless be largely increased.
