THE EVENING NEWS.

su'H'uS' oul HON tneH intention IS 10 &c
ahead and fully develope their mine.
When they commenced work the other
day they found but about a foot of water
in the shaft. it having diminished to tina,
quantity since the company quit work
several months ago, when the water raised
above their drifts and gave them so much
trouble. The engine which the company
erected to do their hosting with last sum
mer has been removed while the mine has
been standing idle and they are now
hosting with a horse and within. We are
glad to see the American Flat mines start
ing up again. That there are some good
lodges down there no one can doubt, for
considerable good rock has been taken
from some Of the claims. What caused
the sudden collapse Of the mining excite
ment on the Flat last summer, was not be-
cause it was fond that there were no good
claims there, but because there were so
many bad ones. The public got taken
in" by so many companies that located
claims without regard either to lodges or
prior locations, that TO save being swindled
they dropt American Flat stocks altogeth-
or. Those that have real merit will be
worked again, but those which never had,
but were located to sell" never will be
disturbed, at least until the " wild ca"
speculations of "a are forgotten.

RoosRs' MILL AND MtNE.-rhis claim
is located in Flowery District, and was
first worked in 1860. A shaft has been
sunk over two hundred and fifty feet, cut
ting a large ledge Of quartz through
which may be traced fine stratums Of rich
ore. About sixty feet below where the
ledge was first cut, q drift mas been run to
the east. and yesterday morning a fine
body Of s~ulphuretS of silver was cut and
drifted in for a distance Of five feet, with
out finding a limit. 4 test OF the ore
shows it TO be very rich in precious metals.
The Company have also, contiguous, a
ten-stamp mill, which works about fifteen
tons of ore per day. The motive power
is of steam, and for a long time past the
mill has constantly been employed IN
crushing ore from the Comstock ledge,
but will now at once commence work on
the ore from The mine. We are glad TO
record all outside strikes"
CoMPLINESrARY.-rhe Worrell sisters

pressable Collins. \ big evening may be

less be crowded with the beauty Of Storey
county.
On HER MuscLE.-Madam Davis, q
lady Of Celtic extraction, got excited rela-
tive to the new ledge theory now be-
ing agitated in our courts, and using
some uncomplimentary language towards
the court, mildly i~n,inuating that the
whole crowd Of one ledgers" were SIS
of b-s, she vas elected from the court
room, and becoming more and more vio-
lent in her language, was arrested by
officers Hanks and Paddock, who, in
taking her TO the station house. were COM
pelled 10 handle the gentle creature so
roughly that more OF her person was ex-
posed to the rude gaze of the vulgar than
was desirable, provided modesty is TO be
regarded. Madam Davis will whale any

t;nuinS his duties, by the intervention OF
a fainting 1T, during which he was re-
moved 10 his resid, nee where he has since

incline 10 the belief that quite a number
of the members of that jury will want to

OccrpEyrAL MrSE.-This claim is being
worked, and ore is being hoisted from the
arss level for crushing, at Weston & Cos
Mill. This mine has been favorably re-
varded for some time past, and We think
viii at a greater depth be found TO be one
OF our dividend declaring institutions.
One thing is certain that if a few mines IN
some Of our adjacent districts commence
10 turn out bullion, that it will have the
effec. Of giving q healthy impetus to pros
pecting the line of the ComstOck ledge.
