LOOKS WELL.-Iesterday afternoon
we were up TO the old works of the yell
low Jacket Company, and in passing the
dump we wer" reminded OF by-gone
days. The dump was filled with what
is known as the white rock. In fact,
we do not remember of having seen bet
ter ore ever taken from any of the mines
of Gold Hill than that which is being
taken OUT 1T the present time. The ore
shows large quantities OF black Sulphu-
rets, and will undoubtedly pay from
thirty TO sixty dollars per ton. This ore
is being taken from the new strike We
mentioned last week. The company,
Notwithstanding the large body ofsplen-
did ore in the fourth level, continues TO
take out considerable Of the black gravel
from near the surface. The ledge in
the lower or 6OO-foot level Of the old
works has not yet been reached, al
though they are expecting to find II
soon. We saw some Of the casing from
the drift while we were there which was
composed of the most beautiful crystals.
If the quality of ore is found in this
level that is looked for, it is hard TO tell
how high the stock Of the company will
go, or how high the dividends will be,
although We hope it will pay II dividend
ofSl, 900 per month to the share.
Mas. PArA.-It will be remembered
that II few days since II man by the name
of Pata, while At work in the Bowers
mine. met with an accident by which he
lost his life. Now, we wish to remind
the good people of Gold Hill that he left
y wife and FIVE small children in almost
destitute circumstances. We were re-
queSted, BY some persons who are con-
versaut with the condition of the family,
to say that the holidays are near, and
any thing in the shape Of those little fix
ingS as a small dress, or pair OF pants,
or coat for the children would be very
acceptable as n Christmas Gift, and a
gift that would be appreciated by one
who has a heavy burden 10 bear. Gold
Hill has proven herself \ friend 10 the
needy, and no doubt will in this in
stance.
ton of the proper authorities to the fact
that there is a stream of water which,
rs near as we can ascertain, comes from
the Comet mill, is left run every night
down the street past the dump OF the
old works of the Yellow Jacket to the
new works; then down the cross street
past the Odd Fellows Hall to Main
street, and so on down Main until il
reaches the gulch. The result Of this
is, that the whole distance the street is
u perfect sea of mud, and if it is not
stopped the result will be that the street
will soon be impossible, as wagons now
cut down almost to the axel in many
places. Will the Marshal attend to this
Immediately, as Gold Hill has plenty OF
mud without any outside assistance!
Social Observation-Disclosures Friday
evening, at Armoy Hall, Virginia, a
grand vocal entertainment will be given,
consisting of tableaux, music, etc. The
excellent choir connected with the Pres
byterian Church will he in attendance,
assisted BY several talented vocal musi-
clans, and will sing some Of the most
popular sacred and secular music OF the
day. The tableaux will also be of the
most pleasing and interesting character;
and altogether, it will be an occasion Of
much pleasure to all who attend. The
tickets of admission will be only fifty
cents, the object being merely to raise
the requisite funds to purchase cushions
