THE EVENING NEWS.

ID. b. Scott, County Surveyor Of Washoe,
we obtain the following particulars rela-
tive to Peayine District, which n year or
two ago was esteemed as being a most
favored region for leads of gold, silver and
p Considerable work has been done
on many lodges. and the richest copper ore
ever found in Nevada has been taken from
the lodges Of this district, but the parties
who first discovered and finally worked
the lodes Of Peavine have been and are
suffering from that popular prospector's
guardian angel-poverty hence for some
months past but little has been done to
develop the rich deposi,es of mineral that
are undoubtedly to be found at a greater
depth than has yet been reached. Lately,
however, a capitalist who knew what the
mines of Peavine really promised-FeliS
O'Neil, Esq.-has taken the matter in
hand, and last Monday caused q survey
to be made by Mr.. Scott that contemplates
the prospecting of the entire region known
rs Peavine Hill by means Of a tunnel,
which will be four thousand fee. in length
when finished, under the name of the "Met-
ropolitan Tunnel and Prospecting Co."
II is believed that this tunnel. which is to
be of capacious size, with air shafts each
hundred feet, will cut a series Of rich
lodges known to exist, which at the depth
of eight hundred feet will be found to be
exceeding plethoric in auriferous minerals,
and among the known lodes that it will
pierce at that depth is the famous Bievel-
heimer ledge. which has been found mar
v~ellously rich in copper, with fair develop
ments of silver sulphurets and free gold.
Not only this, but other companies are
about to locate, and Mr.. Scott will make
two moro tunnel surveys during the COM
ing week. The Metropolitan Company
have already commenced work with q full
force of hands, and it at last seems beyond
II doubt that the long neglected region OF
Pcayine District is to be well and thor
ougt.ly prospected, and we trust with m
pie pay to those men who may invest time
and capital in redceming that section and
making it a contributing section to the
wealth of Nevada and the world.
SECOND WARD MEErINo.-There was a
very slim attendance at the Second Ward
Union Club meeting last evening. Those

They must keep the political cauldron
boiling If they wish to meet with success,
and the best way to do that is TO secure
good attendance at club meetings.
