H EVENING NEWS.

W 1hhOIoh "OL'
afternoon we took a trip up through Gold
Hill. 70 see wha, we could find Of interest,"
and the frs, thing We saw hat attracted
o,r ,,,en,ion was our friend Chas. Booth
seated on a piece of timber, with a meer-
schaum in his mouth, with the sweetest
smile on his countenance ever graced n
hc,u,i6ed the face of any one, and our
hear, reioiced, for we thought he had a
snIpndid item for US. Yes, We thought
not less than forty-nine men had been
soucezed into one cubic foot, for there sat
Pasco, the Superintendent, looking as
sedate and grave as though his last friend
had taken its departure for the land of
spirits. But imagine how we came down
when we learned the cause Of the ones
Charley had an invitation up to the Brew
cry, and PaSco was not there at the time.
Oh, cruel fate not an item was there for
Us, and as a testimony against the gay
deceivers. We shook all the mud from our
feet we could. and bent our way up
through the mines, and all we could see
was quartz wagons, quartz, enraged team
sters, and an ocean Of mud. We however
ascer,aincd tina, the Consolidated Mining
Company, last month. paid u dividend OF
5000 per foot on the twenty-one feet IN
this claim. The ore from which the cash
was taken was from the surface. The
Gold Hill mines are being worked with a
grea, deal Of energy even at this time.
Cor THE WoRSr OF lr.-Last evening,
AT Music Hall, u fellow who was partially
inebris,ed succeeded in getting himself
II a difficulty first, and the ~station-house
secondly. On going TO the Hall. he first
attempted TO pass in as a dead-head; but
this was no go, so he paid his way-and
as soon as he was in he commenced hal
looins and creating a disturbance. But
this was soon stopped, for Clsrkson walked
him out in u hurry. and refunded him his
money and asked him to leave the prem
.sps but not being willing To leave with
on, a muss, he insulted all whom he came
in contac, with. and finally shook his
his; in the face OF Capt. Clarkson. making
hard threats, w]hereupon Clarkson some
what tia,,ened his busle, knocking him
over his hacker. a chum who was ready to
help him out Of all quarrels he might get
up. Just here Ben Lackey stepped IN
and took the fellow TO the station house.
The friend was quite badly injured by
the other falling on his stomach.
CAST ANCHOR. Yesterday afternoon
our attention WAS attracted to an unfortu-
nate Chinese wood.packer. Il seems said
Chinaman, in company with his donkey,
was coming down Telegraph street, and
when near the new works Of the Yellow
Jacket. our Celestial friend and companion
were overtaken by a large team that was
coming down the hill rather fast. The
leaders of the team accidentally came in
contact with Johns long-eared horse and
sent the poor brute some ten or fifteen feet
down the hill. and. As i'll fortune would
have il, the animal came down wrong side
up with care but it was not a hard fall,
for the mud NJ this point was about sin
teen inches deep, and when we left the
Cninaman to go in search of something
else. all that was to be seen OF Johns
wood train was u pair Of huge ears stick
ing up out Of the mud.
On A CRuIsE.-Jake Wallace, Talbot
|
and others are off oil a theatrical tour.
We understand they design giving an en-
tertainment in Washoe City on next Sat-
urday evening, and then visiting Carson
and DAYTON. This will no doubt be well
come news TO our Washoe and Dayton
friends in particular, for during these dull
times any kind of amusement will be well
coined. Pat Holland is going to let Tai
bot shoot an apple OFF his head. We
would advise Pat to settle a little in his
boots about the time he shoots.
THIS morning we had 4 short CONVERSE
ton with some Of the passengers by the
Dutch Flat road, from whom we learn
that the passengers on this line were not
showed in, but rained in, at Polly's Sta
ton for the space of nine days. The rain
continued to come down in torrents for
nearly the whole Of the time they were
there, and washed away the roads in such
a shocking manner that it was impossible,
until sufficient repairing could be made to
let the stages pass. The road Is IN an
awful condition beyond Bonner Like.
The BALL LAST NrGHr.-The ball of
Engine and Hook and Ladder Company
Nos. l. last night, was one of the grand
est affairs Of the season. The room was
too small, however. for the large crowd
that was present, and a large crowd did
not come, from the fact that it was gen.
orally understood that the o would
not hold any more, which was literally a
fact. We have not been able to ascertain
vet what the proceeds werc, but undouot-
eddy a handsome profit will be realized.
A RgpoRr.-It was reported around
town this morning that from nine to sew
en,een Of Brigham Young's wives had ar
rived from Salt Lake, and we have been
censured for not wishing to report the
fact. In the first place, u business IS
no, the picking up Of idle reports, nor are
we interested in any manne for Brigham's
wives. We are a member Of the K. e..
VS. in good standing, and therefore such
matters are of but little interest to us.
PREsExTED.-Bob Lowery, reporter OF
the Virginia Union, yesterday afternoon
was presented by u friend with a very
handsome ring. made from some OF the
frs, gold taken from the Enterprise mine,
Excelsior. AS to the AMOUNT OF cham
payne destroyed on the occasion, we can't
say, as we were not present; but after 1t
was over we accidentally fell in with the
party and found them Furnishing vast
quantities Of Ho Joe.
ANOTHER Broken Leg To-day. at
half-past IL o'clock. as we were returning
from Virginia. we saw quite q crowd COL
lec,ed in one Of the hay-yards on the d.
vide. and on approaching It we found the
cause of the excitement to be that another
,eams,er had succeeded in getting his
horses wound up in the chains, n one
thrown down and leg broken.
The RoADs.-The roads, at the present
time, are in the worst possible condition.
The mud has become stiff, which makes
the roads almost impossible. We noticed,
this morning, quite II number OF large
teams in Gold Hill and on the Divide
that were badly stalled. with but little
rosnact NJ oettino out unless they dug
