THE EVENING NEWS.

|ANa
driving n man in from; of him, who he
charges with having robbed his cabin.
The man saws he was coming along and
saw n man running up the hill with u
nair of boots and 4 carpet sack in his
hand. which was the property Of the
P~repchmau. and on being asked by the
Frenchman TO catch him he started in
pursuit. and pressed the robber so close.
" that he was compelled to drop his
pIunder; he took the goods and went to
the Frcnchman and delivered them up,
wherevpon the Frenchmau drew his
shotgun and ordered the man to go to
Gold Hill, which he did, the French
gentleman walking behind with his gun
ready to shoot in case he refused to
obey. The man brought in is Il labor
ing man, and Mr.. Hyatt, the Constable,
says he does not look like u thief, nor
does he act like one. The man will
have a hearing to-day before Judge
Hall, when the facts will be known. II
the statement of the prisoner is correct,
the conduct of the Frenchman was very
u%ngrateful.
CoNPLErED.-The new dump Of the
Imperial mine is completed, and adds
much to the convenience of loading the
wagons. Instead of having four or five
men with ShovelS TO load a wagon, all
that is to be done is for the canister TO
turn a wheel. which raises q gate and
the ore runs down of its own accord,
and loads the wagon in one-fourth the
time in which il takes TO load by the
old method, thus saving not less than
$40 per day in hired help and about the
same amount in time to The teams EN-
ployed in hauling way the ore. Of all
the mines in Gold Hill the Imperial is
the only one where they have n self
loading dump, although almost every
one is so situated that they could have
them so arranged. \ saving in this
particular is Just aS good as money
saved in having superior hosting works
or good miners instead of poor ones.
THAT CRossISG.-Commodore Miller,
the cashier in Edwards & Wiegand's
assay olhce. next door to the News, this
morning interested himself in having n
fine pine block street crossing construct
rG opposite the ASSAY office, (Which is Il
great convenience 10 pedestrians. IL is
a Joint stock affair with the nCighhorS,
but the Commodore engineered it.
Another crossing of q similar kind is
also being made by Nj. Tlagg, opposite
the Postofice. Mr.. Shaeter, OF the San
Francisco Restaurant. has had one nm
ished for u week past. But teamsterS
don't like them; the wheels of their
quartz wagons get afoul Of them some
times. But il can't be helped business
requires people TO cross the main street,
and il is not agreeable 10 wade in mud
up to the ankles. Careful plotting will
enable any team to rua the btocFEde.
DuLL.-Oving to the bad condition
of the roads, for the past few days busi-
ness is uncommonly dull. The roads
are in such a bad condition that the
teamsters find it almost impossible to
pull the empty wagons up the hill from
the mills in Gold Canon. In fact, many
loaded teams are stalled in going down
the hill, so deep and sticky is the mud.
Where roads are used as much as the
one down Gold Canon, and where teams
are compelled to pass in all kinds of
weather il certainly would be a saving
on the part of our tcamSters, millmen
and mine-owners, to thoroughly macad-
annie the road, as nothing short OF this
or planking il, will ever prevent the
road in Winter from becoming almost
impossible.
REPEArED.-The performance given
at Armory Hall, or Friday evening last,
BY the ladies, for the benefit OF the New
Presbyterian Church, will be repeated
this evening, At the same place. The
tableaux with the exception of the Stat
uary and ''Game of Life" will be new, |

these two exceptions. All are cordially
invited to attend. The tables will be
we'll supplied with good things to eat,
and a general good time may be expect
ed. Admission fifty cents, and no COM
~pulsion TO spend a cent unless you de-
sire so to do. Gold Hill was we'll rep
resented the last time and n doubt will
be tonight.
SOMETHING NEw.-It will be seen BY
an advertisement under New To-Day,
that Marshal Began & Co. have opened
a new saloon. called the "COrner" be-
cause it is on the corner, and corners
all the saloons in town for q square
drink. Pete Ferguson is to be found in
this institution. Pete is Il good fellow
70 our certain knowledge, for we have
known him for l3 years as a liquor deal
or and never have we known OF a man
diving within ten feet of his bar. Pete
never sells iastGnter, his beverages al
WAYS gives a man n chance. Give the
boys II call.
A FINE SUPPER.-After the Masonic
installation on Saturday evening, the
members of the mystic tie" sat down
to q most splendid supper, served up oy
the proprietors Of the Barnum Restau-
rant. Gold Hill. A goodly supply OF
the best of wines. from Harry Clawson's
Exchange, also graced the table, and
wit. sentiment, and song, "a feast oil
reason and a flow of soul" ruled the
hour until adjournment, which occurred
at about thigh twelve" Throughout,
the occasion was one Of the most pleas
ant that ever occurred in Gold Hill.
SERVED Hin RIGHT.-Last evening, q
man, whose name we were unable 10
ascertain, got on a bender" and
smashed up things generally in the Col
den Eagle Hotel, lower Gold Hill. He
was arrested and tried, this morning,
before Justice Hall, and for his fun was
made TO pay the sum Of $40.
