TIE EVENING NEWS.

CURED at the Mount Vernon House, las
evening, between JEFF. Hull and D. N
Jackson, both of Gold Hill, in which thu
latter got pretty badly used up. AS il
often happens in such affairs, there was .
lady IN the case. The lady in this case
was a servant girl at the hotel, whose
charms, it seems, had set the green
eyed monster at work in the hearts OF
ooth oelligerents, and who, we are told,
mad discarded the latter and promised her
hand TO the former. Il seem that both
~eombatants p%atronized the house, and
were regular boarders where the object of
their regards served at the table. It
seems, too, that while Hull had nothing
but the sweetest smiles, Jackson received
and the promptings of the Evil One led
him to make remarks derogatory to the
girls character-remarks very severe and
slanderous. The object of his venom call
ed upon her ~"lovyer" to vindicate her
character, and redress her wrongs. JEFF.
therefore laid for his man !; and when he
came to his supper, last evening, went
into the dining-room and asked him to
come outside but Jackson not being n
of the kind who rather fight than eat,
proposed to finish his supper first. JEFF.
ordered him up from the table, and as he
rose struck him with a cane and knocked
him down, when he and the injured fair
one, the witnesses say, both punished him
to their satisfaction. The victors both
come off without a scratch. The defeat
eds head was badly cut with the cane,
and his body and face severely pommeled
by the feet Of his weaker and the fists of
his stronger a~dversaFies. Hull was arrest
ed Jackson's wounds were dressed by
physicians, and the "lady in the case"
was discharged from service, and proha-
bly, all are now wiser if not better. Both
Jackson and Hull have always been known
as quiet, peacable and steady young men /;
but the Devil seems to have got into them
last evening, judging from the blood,
broken dishes and scattered food in the
dining-room after their fight.
GLOBE CoNPANY.-The claim of this
company, situated on the northwest side
Of American Flat, has at last struck q
ledge OF fine looking rock at the terminus
Of its lowest and longest tunnel, and in
consequence its stock HAS been in active
demand for the last few days. This is
one of the oldest locations in this district,
and has commanded the attention Of our
earliest residents for years, who have look.
ed toward this favorite claim with the So
licitude felt only by those who desired 10
trace the southern continuance Of the true
Comsiock lode, and who felt that this
company had it within their boundaries.
The rock has the blue cast of the more
northerly Gold Hill claims, and prospects,
we are told, favorably, although we have
not heard the figures Of assay. The COM
pany have purchased the interests Of the
Kentucky Company, part of which COW
cred their claim, and are thus assured from
future litigation.
SIERRA NEVADA CoMPANY.-We under
stand that this Company have at length
struck a fine ledge of deep-blue quartz,
filled with rich sulphurets of silver, and
in appearance closely resembling that for
merly so abundant in the Ophir and
Mexican claims. This Company have
labored ~assiduously for years, and have
continued work when their less persistent
neighbors have stopped progress almost in
a body, and they we'll deserve the success
which we hear has at last crowned their
efforts in the development Of the mine.
The public seem to have looked to this
claim as the one destined TO define the
main paying ledge. on the north, and if
reports are correct, we presume they have
now accomplished that purpose. We
shall endeavor to get a permit TO visit the
mine in u few days, and shall be pleased
if permitted-to give n detailed account OF
their strike.

there were three bullet holes through him,
