n EVENING NEWS.

teresting items regarding what ID known
q, Wilson's District. and lying on the
Es,, Walker river. We were furnished
the particulars BY DR.. Grifiths, who has
for several days pas, been sojourning in
tina, region, This new District was dis
covered by Mr.. Wilson ONE four months
since, and by him named. The principal
ledge of the series 10 the one first discov-
cred BY him. which is said by our inform
ant, VINO has had sixteen years expert
encs in the mines on this coast, TO be one
Of the richest mines, as far a. %prospected,
he ever saw. There are quite a number
Of other companies who are getting good
prospects. Among the best are the Mas
todon and Himalsya. The formations are
siratiied. The vein matter is mostly de-
composed, and being free from all base
metals, is easily extracted. The District
has good facilities for working the ore,
having an abundance Of nut-pine timber
and any amoun Of water in all parts Of
it. A beautiful valley, $50 yards wide.
lays near TO the mines where q town, called
Wilsonville, has been laid out, and where
quite q number Of buildings are being put
up, some Of which are for frat class hotels.
This valley 10 staked of and claimed Sor
from one and q nalf to two miles in length
of the valley, for building lots. A great
many persons are coming and going all
the time, which makes the place very
lively. The country is being prOspected
in all directions. Several mills will be
erected this fall, when the merits OF the
dis,ric, will be fully tested. The deepes,
shaft in the district at the present time. is
only fifteen feet. but at that depth the ore
is found TO be equally as rich az on the
surface, with fair prospect OF continuing.
II these mines continue to pay to q great
depth as well az they show on the surface,
they will be a great addition TO the min
eral wealth Of the State, besides giving
employment 10 hundreds OF miners. These
mines are located on East Walker river,
and twenty-five miles from Wellington's
station. making the whole distance from
Gold Hill to Wilson's district sixsy-four
miles. The road from Dayton to the
mines is almos, perfectly level. Any one
may make the trip on horseback from
Gold Hill in less than one day and a-half.
Mr., Grifiths says from what he saw OF
the mines while there. he was well pleased
with the prospects,, and las no doubt but
thew will prove extensive and rich. We
hope they will, for il they do, it will not
make the Comstock any less valuable,
nor remove any of its mineral (; but,
on the other hand. will assist TO remove
some OF the burthen Of taxes which we are
now compelled 70 pay. From a personal
knowledge Of the country along the
Walker river we have no doubt but within
few years it will be second to none in
the State. The copper mines OF the
Walker are the most extensive and richest
on the coast. May the mines Of Walker
prove even better than the great Com
stock, is the earnest desire Of all our cia-
zens.
SpoRr.-If you are fond Of sport. be on
hand thI. evening at McCours & Orudof's
saloon, Z street, Virginia, for we were in
to see how things were fixed. The whole
~amphitheater has been changed. and It is
said that several hundred dollars will
change hands this evening. We would
advise Jim to call his place "Noah's Ark"
for we heard all kinds Of animals and
fowls kicking up the infsrnaliss din ever
dreamed OF. while there. Jim says they
are all to be le, loose tonight. II so,
won, il be worth seeing?

boys Of Virginia have organized . new
Hose Company called Hand in Hand

readily do.

hand. Mr.. Edwards, the agent, assures US
that great bargains for cash can be had.
Now is the time for small stores to replenish
their stocks; for just so soon as the rains
come, there will be a rise in prices.
The w8ArHER.-The chances are TINT

p~ira,ion of for,y-eighs hours. The sky is
ominous, and our corns and rheumatics

eating air.
