DANIEL Low CoAL CoMpANY.-For
about one year past, the mining commu-
nifty of Nevada have been more or less
exercised as to the existence of coal fields
that would be of immense value TO the in
terests of mines and mining, if found to he
OF practical value. Last spring groupings
of coal were found at various points in the
vicinity of the Truckee river, and in Nav
last the Daniel Low Company was estab-
lished, claiming in their incorporation a
little more than eighteen thousand acres
of land. So firmly convinced of the exis-
tence of coal lode were the owners. that
work was at once commenced, about two
miles south from Hunters Station, on
the Iruckee, and shaft sunk to the
depth OF seventy feet through "coal
limestone formation, and at which
depth. so large quantity of water was en-
countered, as to render further work to-
tally impracticable without the erection of
ponderous machinery at an immense cost,
and which. at that time, the company
were unwilling to incur. In order to test
the ground, however, an artesian borer
was procured, and the earth penetrated to
the distance of S04 feet, when a vein of
coal closely resembling the English can
nell was cut, which was eight feet in
thickness. The borer was then removed
few hundred yards. and two weeks since
the second well was commenced, which
has now reached the depth of over two
hundred feet, the "chips" showing
precisely similar stratas of earth as
was found in well number one. The
company now propose to increase their
capital stock to the amount of two hun
dred and seventy-four thousand dollars,
and at once commence the erection of
hosting works whereby they may be eua-
bled to prospect their indications. The
proposed works will consist of large en-
CINE, and pump Of sufficient size to clear
what water may be encountered in the
shaft, which will be sunk to the depth of
three hundred feet, where it is expected a
fine vein of coal will be struck. We GER
tainly hope the company may succeed in
finding vein of coal of such size and
quality as will enable them to supply the
CO immunity with a cheap and valuable
quality of fuel, and should so desirable
result be experienced the general benefits
accruing would be past computation.
DuLL.-Notwithstanding that to-day is
supposed to be one of general hilarity, we
have never seen Virginia so dull-not an
item of any kind. The Courts are not in
session, and our four virtuous friends, the
Deputies, are all engaged in doing no.
thing, and lying in wait to catch some
poor devil who has six bits, and is willing
to invest It in spirituous consolation
The night they propose to spend IN devo-
lions 10 Terpsichore and Venus, and the
next month in repentance. Wells, Fargo
X Co. are closed. few military gentlemen
are to be seen on the street. The ladies
keep close within doors, little boys are
busy attending to prolific noses, lawyers
are playing bean poker and the devil
The Common Council and County Com
missioners are as commonly trying to
swindle each other for want of an out
slider, and the city is dead-dead-dead.
MILITARY PARADE.-At noon to-day
the National Guards, Emmett Guard and
the young Zouave Company, under COM
mand of Capt. Warner, formed into line
one B street, near the corner Of Taylor,
and headed by the band, marched through
the principal streets, presenting very
fine appearance and eliciting frequent ap-
plause from the spectators. The ZouaVes,
under command of young Capt. Flood,
are very well drilled, and present credit
able appearance.
CHANGE OF TNB.-On and after this
date the stages of the Pioneer Company
will leave Virginia daily at 8, P. N. in
stead of 2, \. NJ, as before. The afternoon
stages will reach Sacramento the next day,
giving passengers the opportunity 70 lay
over at Placerville for rest. The arrange
ment is a good one, and vii! meet with
general approval, for every body knows
that the old Pioneer line is ne plus ultra.
A New IDEA.-Some parties from San
Francisco are about erecting mill for the
reduction of ore at Hot Springs, about
eight miles distant from the Desert Mining
District, intending to use the water OF the
springs, and claiming that a most material
saving in fuel can be made from the use
of the hot water, so kindly warmed by
dame nature. Wooden clocks and nut
mess are nowhere in this country.
REcoRDER's Court, VIRGrNIA.-The
following business was transacted before
Judge w. H. Davenport this morning:
Geo. Gill, arrested by officer Clarkson, on
complaint and warrant, on trial. John
Green, arrested by officers Soule and
Woodman, for being drunk and disorder
ly, on trial.
PRosREssISG.-The erection of Lam
mouraux's mill, at the mines in the Desert
District, is rapidly progressing, and viii
be completed by the first of next month.
A well is being bored for water to supply
the mill, and we may soon expect to hear
good news from the crushing of Desert
ore.
To SHUTTLE PLAxERs.-An lovers OF
the game of Shuttle Board will be pleased
to learn that James Malone. of the Delta
Saloon, North C street, Virginia, will
offer prize of fifty dollars to the best
PLAYER who may enter for the prize. We
will give particulars in short time.
EARLIEa.-Yesterday the Pony COM
menced its trips two hours earlier, leaving
Virginia at o'clock p. NJ. Business men
will take notice and govern themselves
accordingly. ..r.. .s.
FROM THE EAsr.-Several large bags OF
letters have been received lately from the
East by the Pacific steamer and Pioneer
Stage Line, bringing to many hearts either
Joy or sorrow. cd.
