H EVENING NEWS:

IN kAN
and nv him were furnished with the fol-
lowing facts: Pioda claim, formerly the
Rice claim, contains Is feet and 4 inches,
ard is superintendent BY Mr.. Turney.
They are taking out about 60 tons Of rock
pcr day. The Consolidated claim, lying
next TO it, contains 81 feet, and extracts
about 40 tons Of ore per day. J.. W.
Wright is acting as Superintendent. Ad-
Joining the Consolidated is the Winters
claim; George Morton, Superintendent.
From this claim about 100 tons are being
taken daily. Our informant. an old resi-
dent Of Gold Hill. being well posted, let
us into the secret Of why this rock had not
been worked before: During 1861, con-
siderable work was done on this same
ground but at that time the mills charged
so much for reduction, and labor was so
high, that the rock which averaged S25
per ton would no, pay for working; but
now that mills are abundant, n rock
rather scarce, money is to be made by
taking out this ore. The ledge is about
200 feet wide, and is supposed to carry
this width to the depth OF about 100 feet.
where it narrows down to from 20 to 100
feet. This surface ore seems TO have been
a blow-up or chimney, and is mixed with
casing, boulders, and a great deal Of bar
rem rock. The greater portion Of the pay
found in this ore is gold-free gold is to
be seen with the naked eye in q great deal
of the rock. This chimney seems to be
about 100 feet deep, 200 feet wide. and $50
feet long; so by the application of figures
the exact moun of ore can be ascertain
ed. These surface mines OF Gold Hill
give employment TO about 800 men, as
well as quite q number Of mills which
otherwise would be idle.
"THls SIDE CP WITH CARs."-This
morning. when we came out of our room,
which is alongside Of the Mt. Vernon
House. we discovered, almost opposite, q
Wagon wrong side up. 1t seems that ON
eight mule team. loaded with wood for the
Veasy House. was coming along Telegraph
street, and in making the turn between the
Eclipse mill and the Mt. Vernon House
the horses swung around too quick, and
the lower side Of the street being rather
steep aud slippy the wagon slipped down
and turned over against the end oil house
belonging TO Sol We'll, MASKING up a coal
.hed and pretty well demolishing the gable
end of said building. The house being
occupied BY a large number OF Chinese, as
might be expected there was much chow
chewing" done. And TO add to the tu-
mutt and disorder that reigned. Sol. made
his appearance, and joined in with the
Celestials, giving the teamster hts for
turning over his wagon and MASKING It up
on their house, and making heavy threats
against the poor fellow who was so unfor-
;unate as to have his wood all spilled out
where he did not want il. and 10 have his
wagon mashed up. One would have
thought, to have heard the mixed gargon
that was INDUCED in on the occasion, that
the parties concerned had been struck with
innumerable tongues, as IN olden times.
The damages. however, are small, as the
house was but q shell.
How Is rr:-Has an Alderman and q
Local a better right TO coast on the streets
of Virginia than other people? This in
ouiry we heard made yesterday, and being
n reporter ourself we thought we would
find out what il meant. The result was
as follows: Il seems that one OF the City
Paps, who stops around q butcher shop,
and a certain Local, who has been after
the coasters pretty rough, got on a time
the other day-we mean ~coasting down
TAYLOR strickland a good time they had,
too: but the boys do persist that as the
police are instructed to stop them, thai
they want the thing general. They say
consistency is a jewel" and they look
to thei rrulers for an example.
MINING ACCIDENTAL man working
in the lower level Of the Yellow Jacket
mine, Gold Hall, by the name Of Peter
Soule, was dangerously if not fatally in
jured. to-day, BY a large boulder falling
from the roof Of the mine, which broke
one arm. one leg and three ribs, and is
thought by his physician to be injured in
t~ernally also. But little hope is enter
tertaiued for his recovery. No blame is
attached to any one.
Music HALL.-This place Of amusement
continues to give excellent entertainments.
We were graufed to see that Cramer, n
of the proprietors, is again able to take
his place, and fill that hole in the wall
with his genial countenance once more.
Tomorrow evening a benefit will be given
to Jake Wallace, one Of Music Halls best
performers, and who has been sick for
some time. Give him a bumper.

Indian who murdered Johnson, on Walker
River, a few days since. has been caught.

rash act with his life.
