THE EVENING NEWS.
AT WoRx AcA1N-The Gold Hin Mil,

The mill has lately been thoroughly over
hauled and re-itted; and the interior
arrangements, especially IN the amaiga-
mating department. are very different now
from what they were before. The roof of
the building has been raised, new floor
laid. the pans set on new framework,
and with more regularity than before. and
altogether present a much more tidy ap-
pearance. The engine, which is of 35-
horse power, has been Fitted up as good
As new. There has been one more stamp
added 10 the batteries, making fourteen
the number in all now in Use. There are
now put up and in use in the amalsamat-
ing room twenty-four four-feet pans of
the old style, which many of our best mill
men prefer 20 the late patented amalgama-
tors. There Is, however, room left for q
couple of Farrand's oscilliating amalgama-
tors, which will soon be set up and put
into use. At the lower end of the mill
there has been constructed four asisators
or settlers, which are deep tubs five or six
feet in diameter. through each of which
the tailinss must pass, and where they
are agitated in water TO cause the sulphu-
rets and heavy mineral particles which
have not amalgamated. and which would
Otherwise pass off, to settle in the bottom.
from which at intervals they are taken
and worked bv some other process. Mr..
P:oda, who has for a long time had charge
of this mill, Is still the Superintendent.

boys at once put every engine in good
working order; the alarm bell tapped,
and general trial was had BY every en-
CINE. and then the machines were housed"
in good order and ready for duty. So
ends the great broil between Virginia city
officials and the Fire Department. and we
believe that every person in that city
slept sounder last night than they would
with breach between the TWO powers.
GYXSAsIrN SoctErT.-A number of
the young men of muscle Of our town

ed; and Messrs. bunker. Douglass and
Chubbuck were made a committee to pro-
cure and fit up proper place for the
meeting Of the society. The various COM
mittees were then instructed TO report at
the next meeting. The meeting then adj
turned until next Wednesday evening.
and the boys parted, feeling much stronger
in anticipation OF the display of muscle
they are TO make.

i've miles 20 Eastman s Co.'s mill, where
they were run into the dam and doomed
for saving. The tact that log driving on

less witness a large increase of this kind
OF numbering on the Truckee.
SERVED HIM RIGHr.-A few evenings
since blatant, high toned. chivalric, "cut-
your id heart out in minute" seces-
sionlst, got to spouting treason In prom
inent saloon in Virginia, and finally called
an officer of the city liar. Out went the
police fist straight from the shoulder. and
secesh went to the sawduSt a somewhat
tanner animal than before. He kept his
mouth shut the balance of the evening.
Such lessons are wholesome. and should
he administered more frequently.
