THE EVENING NEWS.

OF mines nave been discovered IN Pine
Wood District, that instead of producing
ordinary silver ore produces a high-rate
quality Of G9aiqasa. Whew! That s
good, ALI, old fel. You are all right,
that is if you are in the fourth extension,
as we were once; but still your fortune
does not commence with ours. We learn
from Charley Parker. who is mot in -
yet, that near the Hot Springs he and
Others discovered a ledge, last week, that
had peculiar sound emanating from its
groupings, which were two million feet
WIDE: upon close examination, 1t was
found that every twenty feet IN the ledge
one Of Wheeler's largest matchmaking
pans was grinding up the dropping ore
which had become so rich as 10 lose its
ductility and roll into the pans, while at
the same time the intense heat from the
Hot Springs runs the crude bullion into
solid silver bars, only requiring to be
stamped. Il is wonderful Charley has
our gratitude for a couple of thousand
feet. Other lodges are found in the vi
cinity equally as rich, but our space will
not admit Of full particulars until another
issue.
HousISG OF CONFIDENCE ESGISE.-
Yesterday afternoon, the officers and men,
bers of Confidence Engine Co.. No. 6, as
sisted BY delegations os the Virginia and
Gold Hill Fire Departments, housed"
their new rub with all the honors Of the
occasion. Some excellent drill was had
before rolling her in, and water was
thrown one hundred and siNty-eight feet.
through one hundred and fifty-feet of hose.
and an inch nozzle. The tables were
spread with an epicurean lunch. and wine,
pGrch, lager beer, and other vegetables,
were as plenty as wildcat stock at Amer
lean city. Songs, speeches, and jest was
the order of the day, and after near two
hours of excellent enjoyment, the boys
separated with rousing cheers for James
0rndorf, Foreman; Mr.. Hanks, First As
sistant; Mr.. Ridge. Mr.. Atkinson, Pres
:dent; and the balance Of the excellent
company on the Divide.
Nor So.-We have been shown letter
from Sandy Baldwin, N which he denies
the clerical appointment OF one Mr.. Roy
ers to his Court (C. s. District Court for
Sevada.) Sandy SAYS that the appoint
ment is reported. and Judge Field had
suggested it-not Sandy. We hope the
denial is correct. for 4 gentleman who
was in the same office with Rogers for six
months, last year, informs US that the
rumored appointee was Copperhead-so
developed himself in conversation and
actions. Judge Baldwin's recommends
ton is, we understand, for L. Bartlett, Jr.,
of Virginia City, a mos; excellent man.
and amiable in every particular, except on
the radical Union issue, where he is vio-
lent.
The rush Boiseward continues, and
hardly day passes that does not witness
the departure from this State of men who
are bound for the Indictment regions of
Boise river, Beaver creek, and other points
in Idaho, and Montana Territories. Yes
rerday China train left Virginia. loaded
with provisions and other neces$arieS.
and this morning Mr.. James Spanner,
with ten horses and several men have gone
East. BY parties just in from the Truckee
Mining District, we learn that the desert
road is literally thronged with passengers
on foot and mounted, bound for the north
ern country. They will return in the Fall
dead broke. and glad to work for four
dollars per day.
Goop.-We are informed by Mr.. Smith
lust in from Silver Mountain District,
that the mines in that vicinity are begin
mig 10 wear a most excellent appearance,
and that large amount Of work Is eelng
done this season. The Washington-l
SL-and various other claims are being
worked, and considerable ore IS already
earthed ready for crushing at the Pioneer
mill, so soon as road can be built and
the ore transported. Mr.. Smith thinks
that the mines of Silver Mountain are in
ferior to none in the country, and believes
they will be developed within year so
as 10 demonstrate the fact that they have
rich mines, worthy of prospecting and de-
velopment.
TAs OPERA HorsE.-Last evening Mr..
Pauncefort appeared as Mildmay, IN the
excellent comedy Of "Sti!l Waters Run
Deep" q play that allows Ir. Pauncefort
to exhibit all the quiet genius OF splendid
actor, without any flourish Of trumpets.
The play was good. Mr.. Pauncefort in
the leading character, could scarcely have
been better received. The entire company
furnished excellent support. Miss Sallle
Hinckley, in particular, playing better
last night than usual, and giving more
attention 10 the piece than the dress-clrcle.
Flora Bray sang one Of her sweetest bal
lads, and was loudly encore3. This even
ing Don Cesar de Bazan Will be pre-
sented.
AccIpExr.-James Jaques, an old man
was knocked senseless last night. by being
struck with horse driven at a rapid gait
down south D street, by drunken driver
who did not even stop TO ascertain whether
or not he had succeeded in killing the I'M
lucky pedestrian. Jaques was consider
ably injured, but was after time able to
walk home. Such careleSsness Is unpar-
donable, and man with an ounce OF
decency in his entire composition Will
never indulge in any such dangerous ex-
psrimenrs as riding horse at full speed
through crowded thoroughfare.
DRowxED.-Yesterday afternoon Chas.
Etger, a German. was drowned in the Car
son river, between Empire city and Day
ton. He fell into the rapid stream in at
tempting to push log from the car-rueE
which runs along the side of the river, and
although every exertion was made TO save
him il was Of no avail. The unfortunate
man was native of Germany, about ~
years of age. and leaves wife and hve
children at San Francisco.
May CLINArE.-We wish to say for the
information of our distant, loving reia-
,ives and jealous California neighbors,
that the last three or four days have been
with US pleasant and genial weather time.
There has been considerable heat, occa-
