THE EVENING NEWS.

MINING RuxoRs.-The owners Of Hale
s Norcross at this place, as well as at San
Francisco, were not a little startled at the
m which, through some far-sighted
individual, reached the latter place yester-
day, that the ore found lately in the Hale
& Norcross mine wa within the bounds
r;es of the ground claimed by the Savage.
As this thing had been practiced once be-
fore under Mr.. Peck, who was Superin-
,enSen, of the Hale Is Norcross, prior to
Mr.. Moore's taking charge. OF course, il
had its weight, and many who were igno-
ran, Of facts began to fear the worst. To
,es, the truth Of the rumor. the Savage
Company instructed their surveyor. Nh.
Hockholster, in company with Mr.. Frank
Denver, to make a careful survey and re-
port the same at the company's office i'm
mediasely. During the whole Of yester-
day and up until IL r. N. last night. they
were engaged in this work, at which time
they made their report, showing hat the
Hale & Norcross were not within seventy
nine feet of the south line Of the Savage
Company's claim. The Hale & Norcross
have already drifsed some twenty-three
feet south from the point at ThAAsthe
vein was first struck. which sh9es tnem
10 have one hundred and twofeet from
the point the ore was first found to the
south line OF the Savage. Thus ends the
new feature Of bearing the stock. by
thi, means various rumors are atoat at
San Francisco that the mine is giving out.
which is utterly false. The mine is in
much better condition to day than at the
ure we last wrote of it. Returns from
,hree hundred tons Of ore will be in on
Monday, which will show its real value.
We will not at present presume upon its
y,e,d but from all we can gather, suff-
,.it is already known to allay all fears as
70 Is value, as well as the permanency OF
the mine. We defy contradiction in the
statement of facts herein contained.
BADLY BuRNzp.-This morning, about
| o'clock. as George Downey was going
through Chinatown. his attention was at
trac,ed by screams from several China
women, in the lower part Of town. Upon
going to the place from whence the screams
proceeded, he discovered q negro woman,
named Alice Ames. standing in the street
wish her clothes on fire and nearly burned
from her person. Il seems that she had
been trying to start a FIRE, but could not
get il to burn. when she poured some coal
oil on the wood and put the candle to it.
The blaze shooting out her clothes caught
FIRE when she ran into the street, uttering
the most piercing screams; she was de-
serted by all her neighbors, and it was not
until Downey threatened to arrest several
that he could get any one to assist him to
~extinguish the flames. She is frightfully
burned. from her neck to her feet. The
skin slipped of her arms when taken hold
of.
NHw yellow JAckEr.-Yesserday af-
,ernoon we took q trip around by way Of
the new Yellow Jacket shaft to see if they
had really struck good pay ore, and sure
enough we found some excellent rock on
the dump /; but this ore is not from the
back ledge. which produces the large
quantities of pay rock that is taken from
the Comstock lead. The front ledge in
all the claims on this mineral vein is noted
for being spotted, or rather having spots
that contain rich ore, and a greater pro-
portion that is barren. There is but little
doubt that when the back ledge is reached
that excellent ore will be taken out.
HANDSOME FLowERs.-Sam. Boose, the
afable bar tender in White s Mischel's
saloon. Gold Hill. has, behind the bar, q
Chinese water lilly, that is in full bloom.
I. looks strange to see q flower in mid
winter, but more especially when hat
flower has nothing but water for its sup
port. For the information Of those who
are c~ulivasing these flowers, we would
state tina, it necessary to change the water
every twenty-four hours i n order that the
plant may be healthy.
VALENrrSEs.-In passing Burralls book
store, corner Of Union and c streets, Vir-
ginia, our attention was attracted by
funny, fancy fxings. strung upon lines all
over the store. At first we thought this
was the house where Santa Claus lived |;
but on examination we found all these
nice things were Valentines. for the young
men to send to their s~weethearts. Vein
tend getting one for ours.
ACHASaE.-Capt. VIM. Blanding has re-
signed his position As President OF the ophil
mine, and James G.. Fair has been appointed
in his stead. Mr.. Fair is = man every way
adapted to the position to which he has been
appointed, for we have known him as a sue
csssful image Of mines for the past ten
years. And from what We know ofSMr
Fairs past experience as a miner, we shall
look for some good developments in the ophii
soon.
FAMILY GRocERIEs.-Mr. w. ". Stovall,
B street, half a dozen doors South Of Unior
street, (west side) Virginia, has one Of TIT
finest family grocery stores in that city, and
from 4 long acquaintance with our frient
Stovall, we feel warranted in recommending
his large and well-assorted stock TO the head
Of families and hotel keepers. See his adver'
tisement in another column.
ARRxsrED.-Yesterday, Sheriff CLARK
arrested two men. who came in on The
stage from Reese River. Il seems they
sold out their interests in several mines
and left the place without settling numer'
Gus little bills they had contracted. A
telegram was sent to Sheriff Clark to FAR.
rest them, which was done.
Music HALL.-The performance las,
night was very good, and the Hall was
much crowded. which we were glad to
see, for Amanda Lee always does hei
duty as an actress. This evening another
excellent performance will be given. anc
a good crowd will be out.
New DuNPs.-Yesterday we noticed
tina, the Kentuck Company was putting
up a large dump on their claim. Thu
Kentuck Company is taking out consid
cradle ore of a superior quality, and
dump is much needed.
FoR CARsoS.-This morning, there wa
a Frenchman in the station-house, Vir
einia, who is en- route for the Peniten
tiary. He was sentenced by the Distric
Court Of Lander county to Is months i'm
prisonment, for grand larceny.
MupDY.-The streets in Virginia are II
mos. horrible condition. A person car
no, cross C street in but three places with
out getting mired down. Gravel walk
across the streets would be Of great benefit
