THE EVENING NEWS.

Tor Rocx.-while taking a stroll, last
evening, through some of the mines OF
Gold Hill, our attention was attracted to
the vas, quantities of surface rock that is
being taken out, and what is termed by
the miners the grass roots" The
amount of rock that lays between the sur
face of the ground and the first level in
these mines Is much more extensive than
any one is aware OF, and Of much better
quality than n large portion of that taken
out deeper down. We are crrdibly in
formed that this surface ore will work
from $50 to 500 per ton. while the en-
pense o; getting it IL is much less than
that of the ores at u greater depth.
