THE EVENING NEWS.
Npw N,curxyRY,-Y Yesterday after


during the past few days, under the su-
perintendence of Mr.. Denver. The new
works consist of change in the hosting
gear-the old reels being nearly worn out
and discarded; the new ones being locat-
ed back of the shaft. The old reels have
done the company good service, but were
too small for the requisite work-being
but three feet in diameter; the new ones
are six feet, and capable of doing more
than four times the amount of labor the
old cnes have accomplished. These reels
are Of superior build. being of hSme
manufacture. cast at the Pioneer Foundry,
and turned with perfect accuracy; al
though weighing 5000 lbs. each. there is
no flaw nor roughness in the solid iron.

course, the brake must tit squarely. being

u;acturer. The main shaft has also been
heightened out some eight feet. The new
reels will accommodate 900 feet of 3-inch
rope, each, which will probably be as deep
a. the shaft will ever be sunk. All the
castings set on massive bed-works, strong
ly braced and strapped with iron. A new
frame has been erected for the brakes, and
new brakes have been made, the whole
being conveniently arranged. While put
ting the new gearing in place, the engine,
boilers, steam drum, etc., have been over
hauled and thoroughly repaired. and the
whole is now in excellent order. The
new reels went TO work this morning, and
perform in a perfect manner, the brakes
working to perfection.
ST. PArRIcx.-Yesterday was gen.
eral holiday for the sons Of the Emerald
Isle. and was observed in Virginia accord
ing to the published programme. The

bands Of, music. after parading the side
walks of c and B streets, march to the
Opera House. where poem was read by
Joseph T. Goodman, and an Grafton de.
livered by Wm. WOODBURY.. The exer-
ciseS were appropriate, and gave general
satisfaction. The festivities closed with
a grand ball, which was well attended,

FRBTeHr.-So great is the demand for
freights from California to Nevada, that
Church & Co.'S Line, has been forced to

Shaw's Line is also crowded with ten
weeks advance freightS, and double line
don't suffice to do their work. This state
of things is encouraging and looks as
though people had some confidence in the
mineral deposits Of Nevada.
