THE EVENING NEWS.

DECK, VINO arrived nom Excelsior las
evening, we learn that, although thC
weather there is becoming somewhat
wintery, prospecting and building are still
carried on a briskly as ever. He says the
more the country is prospec,ed the more
apparent becomes the truth of its extraor-
binary richness. There are two mills now
in operation, and the California company
are hard ut work on theirs, having the
frame nearly completed. When he left
they intended to commence setting the
machinery to-day. They have completed
their clearinghouse, and are now snugly
settled in their Winter quarters. Large
numbers Of persons continue to arrive at
the new Ell Dorado. Among the notables
in the neighborhood when MIR. Hornbeck
left was Senator Nye. who had purchased
Fordyce Valley, which is about two miles
from Summit City, where he was making
preparations to lay out a new town. The
site is said to be pleasant and very con-
v~enient, being centrally situated among a
large number of the richest leads. The
latest excitement out there has been caus-
ed be the discovery of a silver lead near
DO"llhuS 1SdllSAl, w AASA u oAA " NC 'NAJ
rich. \ Mr.. Bond, from Virginia, Is
bringing in a quantity of the rock TO have
it worked at Rigby's mill, American Flat,
% and returns will be had from it in a few
days. The weather there is becoming cold,
and the ground was twice covered with
snow last week. Many intend to stay
there this Winter despite the cold weather,
and the district will be as lively as ever
until snow falls to such a depth as to pre-
vent prospecting.
BULLION SHIPMENTS DURING SBPrEM-
BER.-Wells, Fargo Il Co. have shipped
from their Gold Hill office during the
month of September the large amount Of
S399,6l3 90 worth of bullion. These
shipments comprise but a part Of the pro-
duct of the Gold Hill mines. Large guam
titles of crude bullion extracted from Gold
Hill ores BY mills down the n and
along the Carson River are shipped
through the Silver City, Dayton and Car
son City offices. The shipments from the
Gold HILL office are, however, much great
err than they were a few months ago. The
establishment Of new and extensive assay
offices in town has served TO materially
increase the shipments by preparing the
bullion for the Mint or for export, here in
town ; whereas much Of it was before sent
to Virginia for reduction INTO bars. We
now have three first class assay offices,
and each are doing an extensive business.
If all the bullion which is obtained from
Gold Hill ores were brought into Gold
Hill assay offices for melting and refining,
there would be business for two or three
more offices of equal extent with the ones
we now have, and our bullion shipments
would be nearly doubled.
FIRE IN AMERICAN FLAT.-A fire &C.
CURED on the ranch of Messrs. Geo. W.
Stone and b. p. Stevens, on American
Flat, last Saturday evening, which de-
stroyed a dwelling house belonging to
these two gentlemen, together with all the
furniture, clothing and other articles
which it contained. Capt. Weir had been
stopping with Messrs. Stone and Stevens,
and had q large quantity Of valuable ar
ticles in the house, which were burned.
Among them were some very valuable
papers, which cannot be replaced. The
fire occurred while all OF the parties were
from home attending u Union Club meet
ing at American City. 1t was evidently
the work of an incendiary, as one OF the
parties informs US that there had been no
fire in the house since noon OF that day.
This is the same ranch on which the Nc
Nair difficulty took place last spring. The
total loss by the fire is estimated at $1,000,
