THE EVENING NEWS,
VENUE MINE.-We learn the follow

of ore from twenty to thirty inches in
thickness, with q seam Of extra sulphurets
ofsilver running through the lead. TWEEN
weight hundred pounds of the rock were
worked last week BY mill process, and
from the pulp three assays were made,
NV oof which show twelve hundred dollars
per ton in silver; the other went as high as
Sl,I00 per ton. From five tons of ore ia
ken out last week, two hundred pounds
have been selected that will pay a pro rata
Of $4,000 per ton, the balance working,
on an average, OF about $500 per ton. A
specimen of the ore that we saw at the
store of Mitchell s Adams, Is at least one
third silver, being the richest in free silver
of any specimen we ever saw. At this
time but six men are engaged in working
the mine, but as the same is prospected,
more men will be employed. and think the
fortunate owners will rapidly secure a
handsome fortune.

We Learn from Mr.. Walker, Superin-
dent of the Bullion mine, that the Secre-
tary who was arrested for over-issuing
stocks, has been operating rather heavily
in other matters, although it is not actu-

eliminated. When arrested on the steam

his protection frail fair one, and about
$4,000 in gold coin. His affairs will I'M
dergo close investigation at an early day.

when we visited the same, last evening,

brake is the common direct action, and
the work is being done in an excellent
manner. The reel of the hose carriage
was also altered somewhat, so as to run
easier.

tlemen in business on street, Virginia,

paregorical manner.

most enterprising citizens; they have been
most energetic in securing our town from
danger Of conhagration. and deserve the
warmest commentators of our citizens.
Their ball will be the finest of the season,
and should be literally patronized.
F1RE.-At y o'clock to-day, the bell
sounded an alarm of fire, which was found
TO issue from the cabin of Thomas Bulger,

the cisterns could be got of, being frozen.
Some one should at once attend to the
matter.
