THE EVENING NEWS.


ANOTHER RANBLs--Yesterday AFTER
noon we got on the rampage. and, seated
behind pair Of Olin's nags, we commenc-
ed by descending Smith street, taking
cursory glance at the new hosting works
Of the Gould y Curry company, at the
Bonner shaft. on South d street. The
works are entirely new. and inferior 10
none in Nevada. At present the work OF
sinking IS being pushed vigorously, and
The depth of one thousand feet will short
b. attained il nothing new TO mining
science prevents. Leaving the pOnderous
machinery making its accustomed revolu-
tons, We proceeded 70 the lower dump,
where we found a considerable quantity
Of ore being shipped for milling. The
buildings belong TO the company at this
point are the most conveniently arranged
:o- loading quartz Of any in the district.
Away in the distance glimmered the
whitehead suide-posts of mankind, and to
the Cemetery We wendell our way. Some
distinguished author has said tina, nothing
= 50 sacred a. the memory OF the dead /;
perhaps he was right. bu, a transient visit
20 the Virginia Cemetery would cause
grave doubts to arise in the mind Of the
pilgrim as 70 the truth of the assertion.
The ground IS evidently as barren of yeSe-
,ation as even sn atheist could wish, while
scattered over the brow of the hill are
various mounds, indicating the resting
place of man. Some have monuments of
.n,xt-1.N 81 81 l., -.
letters; but by far the larger proportion
OF graves have only stake at the head
and a stone az the foot, with no distin-
gushing mark 10 show the name of the
prospector who has emigrated 20 perhaps
better district. Who knows their
names or history: Who sheds tear on
the rocky soil: No one. And yet per-
haps in some New England village, or
wooded bottom of the West, or sunny
plantation of the South, mourning
friends wonder why no tidings come from
him who sleeps softly on Cemetery Hill.
This won't DO. Returning. we pass the
County Hospital. about which so much
mas been said by taxpayers Of Storey
county who don't own even clean shirt.
The Hospital IS pleasantly located; is
built commodiously, and under the care
of DR.. Tucker is managed most humanely
and covers many an aching head that
would otherwise perhaps be exposed to
winter snow or summer heat. About
forty patients are now receiving excellent
medical treatment and good nursing at
this charitable institution OF Storey county.
No, far down the canon we arrive az the
famous Gould Y Curry Mil, which is bv
far the largest, coStlieSt and best regulated
in the State for the reduc-
ton OF silver ore. Unfortunately We had
not time 10 avail ourselves of the courte-
Gus invitation from our old friend, Joe
Edwards, TO examine the recent extensive
improvements but. touching Norfolk and
Lodi with the bow, We started up Six
mile Canon. where several quartz mills
were bus;ly at work with incaAanc clat-
ter. In this place considerable attention
has evideutly been paid TO agriculture, as
the hil-sides green with grain and growing
=. garden sass" abundantly testify. Far
up the hillside the mining works Of the
Sierra Nevada Company may be seen,
with colossal piles Of barren quartz, but
no pay ore department to delight the eyes
OF stockholders. The "Comstock can't
BE- found north of the Ophir. IT'S true
MS pity" etc. At the northern portion
Of Virginia we find again the busy stir Of
metropolitan existence, and pleasant
drive through fashionable c street lands
Us at the door of virtuous home.
REcoRDER'S CouRr, VIRGINIA. Re-
corder Meagher this morning transacted
the following business: Two Greasers,
arrested by officer Hearn, for attempting
10 rob one J. D. Connor, were held to
bail IN the sum of $500 each for appear
ance tomorrow morning for examination.
John Doe, arrested by officers Clarkson
and Higbee. for being d. d.. will be ex-
ahmed tomorrow morning. J. McMa-
hon was fined and paid $50 for using
obscene language. Recorder Meagher
opened the ball with fair docket, and It
is 70 be hoped that crime will decrease in
until there will be no need for
be he ever 50 good man.
The OPERA HorsE.-At Maguire's last
evening, the play was excellent. Tonight
Mr.. Meyers will receive a benefit, and
full house will doubtless pay tribute to his
excellent delineation of farce and comedy.
Tomorrow evening eEds the engagement
Of Mr.. Pauncefort, with complimentary
benefit to that sterling actor, who will
proceed TO San Francisco on professional
tour. Friday and Saturday evenings the
excellent company viii play at Carson,
and Sunday evening, we learn that per-
torrance will be given at the Gold Hill
Theatre.
WATCH LOST Moses korn, of Gold
Hill, last evening. between this place and
Virginia, lost a valuable gold watch, for
which he offers $50 reward, in another
column. The finder. it is hoped, is an
honest person and will return it. Should
ne or she refuse to do so. it may not be
improper here to state. that there Is a
private mark on the watch by which It
will be detected sooner or later. Fifty
dollars is a good reward for all the trouble
the finder may be put to-and an honest
conscience is worth more. By all means
return the watch.
TIE NIAGARA, not the Falls OF that
name. but the saloon of that name, No. 10
north B street, Virginia, where Amos
Dennis has a large assortment of bitters
and spiritual consolation for sale at reas.
enable rates. Healy, the accomplished
p,,xist is there when Amos is not, and II
We know what is good, and we think we
do, he can furnish the article on demand.
Fact, George.
SpgcrLAr1oS.-One of the best spec
uls,ion. we know of would be for some
unknown benevolent specializing chap, to
re,urn TO the Washoe Exchange saloon,
Virginia, Charley Brooks "purp" Tip,
who left home last Sunday. Tip IS about
.hree months old, has colored eyes, bay
hide. with two white feet. Value OF spec
alation $40. See Advertisement.
Goop-BAD. - The County Clerk Of
storey and all his deputies have invaria'
DIV treated US with courtesy, for which
we are obliged-that's good. The Com
nissioners Of Storey county should take
one glance at the clerks Office, and when
,ney see that dirty, ragged, used up, di.
iapidated old rag, once carpet, they VII
say-that's had.
