THE EVENING NEWS.

Mill shipped from here about SIX weeks
since is nearly erected. and will be crush
ing ore BY the first of May. This Is a n'e
stamp mill, the dies weighing each sou los''
and making eighty-five drops per minute
and will crush not far from fourteen 'oIS
of rock per day. The company nave d.
ready about eight hundred tons OF nrst
class ore on the surface, and at the depth
of one hundred feet. find the ledge large,
well developed, and exceedingly rich IN
mineral Two chambers have been opened
from, rxo levels, and as the ledge Is sunk,
the onalj,y of ore improves, and if we may
ba nsrmitted TO form Of logical deductions,
4 ,bc ledge is so superlatively rich at fifty
fset. so unprecedently valuable at one
hundred feet, and of increased size, what
NAV we be led 10 expect will be the value
of the lode when proSpected as deep as the
mines of Storey county. The deductions
are at least conSoling to the holders of
shares. Mr.. Lammareux returns to the
District on Wednesday, with several little
necessary " fNins," provisions, etc., and
upon his return will doubtless bring the
hrst bullion from the Desert Mill, which
we hope may be succeeded by numerous
bars that will be sanitary to the owners,
and aid in developing outside lodes of ore.
ANOTHER SrRIKE.-We were shown
yesterday by Mr.. Spaulding, of Virginia,
hive pieces of ore from the Penobscot mine,
in Reese River District, which was taken
from five points on the ledge, the lowest
depth being twenty-five feet. At the sur
face the ledge is but ten inches in width,
but at a depth of twenty-five feet it
widens to twenty inches. This ore is Of
alternate grades of richness, the assays
showing from two TO eight hundred dol
lars in silver to the ton. Mr.. Spaulding
and son own the entire ledge, and they
feel very much elated at their good luck.
The ore is certainly very rich, particularly
that from the lower level, of which, how
ever no assay has yet been made, but it
will doubtless be found richer than any of
the balance. We also learn from parties
Just in from Reese, that all kinds Of min
ing matters are manifestly improving, and
that prospecting will be done there during
the coming season more thoroughly and
extensively than ever before, which will
doubtless result in developing many rich
mines now unknown, for that Reese
River and adjacent districts are rich in
metalliferous deposits we have no doubt
in fact her increasing bullion exports salts
tactorily demonstrates that fact.
COMING ELEcrIoS.-Next Monday the
registered voters of Virginia will choose
officers to govern their municipal affairs
for the coming year. Prominent among
the candidates for mayor are Pembroke
Murray, a gentleman who has filled that
Office successfully for the past few months.
George Birdsall. for chief of police. good
sound Union man, an excellent officer,
and second to none in fidelity to Old
glory, besides c. W. Cook, the present
incumbent, VIM. Shepard, gentleman OF
excellent standing. and Col .H.Howard.
For recorder, James d. Meagher. who is
u good Union man, and eminently FIT for
the office. For assessor, James Malone,
of whom notice is made in another place.
All the candidates, so far as we know, are
worthy gentlemen, and will make good
servants TO the public they represent.
The OPERA HorsE.-Last evening the
localized play of "Po-ca-hon-tas was
presented to a crowded house. We do
not admire the piece. Ross and Carlo
ended the programme in an act Of nearly
an hours duration, entitled "Zamplleros-
tation," which consisted in attempts TO
break their necks, though, fortunately,
did not succeed. The exhibition of ath.
leticism was beyond anything ever at
tempted on this side of the mountains,
and drew forth prolonged applause. Toe
training has been perfect, and we can con-
cieve of nothing tending to exhibit man.
