Of a high state of civilization and re-

Snow SroRN.-Poets have sung of
1.-The snow, the snow, the beautiful
snow" but we very much doubt wheth-
er their souls would have become iu-
spired with any lofty fight of imagina-
ton ifthey had crossed the Divide in
the snow storm last night. The wind
Was from the southwest, and blew as
only Washoe zephyrS can. The now
was perfectly binding, being sent with
almost as much force as though fired
from a gun. This morning, however,
the Sun is as bright as in midsummer,
and the prospects for fair weather again
are good. The snow has no depth TO it,
from the fact that the wind blew it
about so much that il is all in spots,
while a great deal Of the ground is bare.
CAvIxG.-Quite a cave occurred on
the north side OF the Trench mine, next
to the Eclipse, a day or two since, which
took down with il u large portion of the
south wall Of the the Eclipse hosting
works. The cave was entirely on the
surface. Owing to the perpendicular
shattered condition of the entertainments
of the surface, in the mines of Gold Hill
proper, if great care is not taken som
serious accident will occur before the
Winter is over. We were there this
morning and noticed that the banks are
full of small assures, which are liable
TO open at any time and let a large
amount of earth down into the pit below.
PRoGREssING.-We notice, in passing
the new shaft of the Imperial and En-
pire, that they are getting a large lot of
timberS on the ground for the new hoist
ing works, the erection of which Will
commence about the first of February.
The prospects in the lower level Of the
Empire are of the most encouraging ma
ture, and when the new works are up
and operations through the new shaft
shall have commenced, we may comb
IDENTIFY expect TO see the Empire and
Imperial as high in the figures as in
their most palmy days. The mines of
Gold Hill are all looking we'll.
OPERA HousE.-Last evening the Sill
yer Star troupe performed at the Opera
House. Owing TO the severe snow
storm that prevailed during the evening
the attendance was rather small. The
performance was very creditable 20 the
most of the performers, although we are
of the opinion an error was made IN
casting in some particulars. Taylor,
Gregory and Mr.. Cain, did exceedingly
we'll. We do not believe that tragedy
is so well appreciated by u people as
something funny. Two or three good
farces in an evening would take much
better.
Administration dusk last even
ing, a six-mule team, hitched to u large
quartz wagon, jumbled up into a scram-
bling heap right in front of the NEWS
office, and several of the animals came
near being run upon by the ponderous
wheels of the wagon. Fortunately for
the owner of the mules, the wagon stop
ped lust in time TO save their limbs and
lives. A poor brake, load too heavy,
down grade of the street, AND thin mud
with slippe.y bottom, was the cause.
DEDIcArIoS.-The dedication of the
new Presbyterian Church, in Virginia
City, will take place on the 23d of the
present month. We are requested TO
state that all those who have not paid
up their subscription to the church, are
requested to come forward Immediately
and do so, as the building committee
wishes TO have a church dedicated and
not a building with a host Of debts
hanging over it.
CONCERT AT GOLD HILL.-Madame
Minnie Bernard will give a grand vocal
and instrumental concert tomorrow
evening, in Gold Hill, assisted by a
number of ladies and gentlemen of es-
tablished talent. Madame is a sweet
singer in Israel, and her ballads and
operas never fail TO delight all who hear
them. The entertainment will, without
a doubt, be Il most excellent one, and
well attended. P. S.-Postponed to
next Monday.
SAvAGE.-The Savage Company are
erecting a large carpenter-shop on the
south side of their new hosting works.
The building is, we should judge, some
30 by so feet. We also learn that one
of the most extensive bodies of ore ever
found in this mine has been recently
opened, and extends from the Gould &
Curry line to the Hale & Norcross. The
ore found is in the lower level, and IS
of a superior quality.
JEwELRY.-Any one wishing to pur-
chase a genuine article of jewelry on
the most reasonable terms, would do
we'll TO call at the jewelry store of W.
T. Eayes, corner of Union and c streets,
Virginia. Watches, clocks and jewelry
repaired in u first class manner. Jew
elry of all kinds manufactured to order
and perfect satisfaction given in all
cases. Give him a call and examine his
immense stock.
PERsoSAL.-W. J. Forbes, Esq, of
the Humboldt Register, was in Gold Hill
to-day. He looks well and cheerful,
seems able to take his usual "tod;" and
we believe has a good, honest, and a
clear conscience. He says Humboldt is
in the same place; and that he came in
to see how Mount Davidson looks since
the late election.
CONCERT PosrPoSED.-0wing to the
sudden and severe illness of Mr.. Old
field, the musical director Of Madam
Bernard's Concert at the Gold Hill
Theatre, announced to come off on
wednesday evening, December 9th, it
has been necessarily postponed until
Monday evening, December 10th.
