H EVENING NEWS.

is filling in Main street with rock in spots.
This a bully good thing for our teamsters,
as it had become almost impossible by the
depth of the mud which had formed from
the leakage of the sewer, Of which men,
ton was made u few days since by US.
The authorities of our town should, in
Justice to our mining interests, keep this
street in the best possible order, so as not
to retard the transportation of quartz, as
by our mines we live, and anything that
Is to their detriment is q direct blow to
the general interests Of the public. Every
facility in the power of our corporation
should be extended. as it will cheaper the
hauling of quartz, and thereby our mines
will yield a greater revenue to our resi-
dent stockholders, and at the same time
give to the outside capitalist greater CONF
dence to invest in them. Now, while we
are on this little bit of Il growl, we would
respectfully suggest to the proper Swans
of our town to have the sidewalks upon
either side of our principal street some
what repaired. AS they are now, it is a
disgrace to our enterprising place, and
really dangerous after dark TO travel on.
As the stormy season Of Jul climate is
upon US, this thing should be attended to
at once. We ask no pardon for making
this suggestion. for we really think that
the necessity of the case demands it.
OuR QUARTZ TgAMINo.-To show what
an important interest our quartz teaming
occupies among US, we give here a few
facts in relation to one of our most ener-
getic quartz contractors, c. II. Nangor-
der, who has now a contract for hauling
rock from the Yellow Jacket mine TO their
mill ON the Carson river. The contract
extends for one year. Fifteen teams are
employed, averaging six animals each, and
draw in the aggregate ninety tons per day.
The price paid is So per ton. II no day
ia lost. this contract would amount to the
sum Of Sl64,250 per year. The amount
of barley consumed by the animals may
probably amount TO over 900, 900 pounds;
the hay to over 100000 pounds. Now as
this il only an account Of the doings Of
one of our numerous contractors in the
quartz hauling business, we can form some
idea of its importance as n of our
branches of industry in our young, grow
ing State.
RRMovAL.-The removal Of the County
Recorders office took place yesterday af-
ternoon, from Roe's building to that Of
Medin, on c street. 1t is a good thing.
Our county officers should be convenient
for our people, and we hope that other
offices Of the county will loon be removed
10 that locality, so that a man will not
have 10 run his boots off to get around to
transact whatever business he may have
with our county officials. We say to our
county acknowledgements, all of you get
together in some building and there re-
main, at least for a season; as it is now,
all creation cannot find you. Go in,
County Commissioners, we are with you
consolidate the different Offices within the
space Of a quarter of a mile, and you will
oblige "this ERE local."
NARROW EscAPH.-Some time last night
a ave occurred in a drift in the Chollar-
Potosi mine, shutting in back Ct it two
men working in it. This state of affairs
was not discovered till the roll Of the men
was called for a change OF shift Of the
morning watch, when 1t was found that
there were two miners missing. Instant
search was instituted for them, when it
was discovered that their drift near where
they had been at work had caved in for
quite q distance. Men were set TO work
Immediately TO relieve them, and a party
dispatched for DR.. Bronson to be on hand
10 administer to these buried men, if any
medical aid was needed; but after a short
time working the men were rescued alive
and without injury. 1t was a happy ter
mination of an affair that looked SO seri-
Gus at first.
To-Day we are having a snow storm,
but from appearances it will let up before
evening. During all day yesterday and
last night, our Gentle Washoe zephyrs
were on a terrible rampage and kicking up
the devil in general-keeping u fair
ladies in their houses, capsizing little boys
and annoying everybody. Whew but
il blow through u streets in an
=. Elegant" style though. We rather n
loved i,-but after all, a little of it will 60
a long way with US or any other man.
The ORPHAN's FAIR was as we'll attend
ed last evening as could have been ex-
pected, considering the bad condition Of
the weather, but those that were on hand
enjoyed themselves and had a merry time
Of it. We hope to see enough there to-
night TO make up for its "thinness" last
evening. Bear in mind that the cause is
a GOOD one and should receive the support
of all good citizens. Go tonight, and
the blessing Of the little orphans will ever
attend you.
OPERA HousE.-To-night, at this agree
able place to spend an evening, Dave Ber-
lin will take a benefit. The sensation
play of Robert Emmett" will be per-
formed. and also an entire change Of pro-
gramme. The house should be crowded
tonight, as Dave has been one Of u old
stand bys. His many friends, we are as
sured, will give him a fine reception this
evening. Hope so.
The MAMMOTH FoUNDRY.-A trial has
been had of the machinery Of the new
foundry of Mead s. McCone. below Silver
City, and -morro afternoon the works
will make a regular start. Invitations
have been issued to mill men, mining su-
perin,endents and machinists and foundry
men throughout the country, and also the
members Of the Press, to be present on the
occasion.

tor Of the Gold Hill and Virginia line Of

but as he did last year his coach
throughout the winter.
