THE EVENING NEWS.

yesterday afternoon, to a very handsome
specimen Of pure black silver sulphure,s,
weighing about thirty pounds, which had
in the centre IN elegant crystalized cave,
the size Of a large teacup, across the outer
edges Of which there were several thick
strands Of wire silver, g~old-spangled and
bright specks Of pure silver, besides one
or two punches Of tangled wire silver.
With the microscope, it presents one Of the
most beautiful silver caves imaginable. It
was broken from q mass Of rich ore in the
north drift, below the three hundred foot
level.
.4notier.-The largest, and, proportion
ate TO its size, the richest mass Of silver
ore ever taken out Of any mine here. was
brought TO the surface at about 4 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, taken out Of the same
"drift." 1t was TOO large to hoist up in
the usual "bucket," and had TO be raised
with ropes. Its weight is about 500
pounds, is nearly as big as a barrel, and
consists entirely Of the black silver sui
phere,s, the surface not presenting a speck
Of barren quartz the size OF half a dollar.
An assay was made Of n mall portion
which showed a yield at the rate Of three
thousand dollars per ton. Mr.. smith, the
energetic foreman of the mine, informs US
tina, there is a large mass Of this class OF
ore now in sight, and which he thinks
will readily yield fifteen hundred dollars
per ton. The Crown Point is an excel
len,ly worked and managed mine.
ST. JoHN's FESTIVAL, FAIR AND BALL.
In all the range of local wants, chari-
ties and appeals for substantial aid, the
desire by the ladies of Gold Hill, to wipe
out the debt of ST. Johns Churh, seems
TO be the most absorbing and deep-felt, of
any that has hitherto engaged their a,ten-
ton. From all quarters their appeal has
been responded to with alacrity, and the
two evenings Of Fair and Festival, June
9th and 9th, will be thronged with a gay
company of the ladies and beaux of sis
ter cities and towns, and the third eve
ming when a Grand Ball by the young
men Of the town will be given, we learn
will be o carnival Of pleasure TO all who
attend. The cordial response TO the ap-
plications made, has been q most grateful
feature; and the cordial. hearty aud united
efFor, will make the three evenings the
mos. attractive to all who like to do good
and receive good in return. The in,en-
ton is to wipe out the debt Of the Church
entirely, and with such aid as rendered,
and vigorous aid by our owu folks, i. can
be accomplished. The Church building
is really the property Of every man and
woman in the town, and to preserve it
for Christian worship is the interest and
duty Of all.
A "JoB" Prr uP.-We understand
tina, certain parties who did not succeed
in getting upon the Virginia police, under
the new administration. are determined TO
force themselves in place by this dodge. or
lob" as they term it: \ number OF
sham rows will be gotten up by their
friends" on which occasion pistols will
be fred in the air, etc., and an " ARRAY y
threatened Of q serious nature. Then
outsiders" in the scheme, are 10 go
around town de~nouncing the new police
as inefficient, towards. ETC.; and remark
ing. If So and So had been appointed
regular or special policemen. you be, there
wouldn't have been such q row." This
outlines the job" by means OF which
the Police Commissioners are 10 be coereed
into appointments OF the like Of which, they
have already judiciously refused to make.
Il is said that il this lob" don't work, 1t
will be extended, in programme, 10 the
beating Of one Of the present force by some
Of the rowdies who are in the secret OF
this plan for brotherly advancement.

MuDDY SrREErs.-The storm Of yester-
day made our streets very disagreeable to
travel over. Pedestrians, however. could
pick their way along tolerably we'll but
our teamsters had rather a hard time OF il.
Wagons heavily loaded with quartz would
slide. Notwithstanding breaks, locks, or

SroxAcHIc CoNPLAISrs.-A great many
persons both here and in Virginia, are suf-
