M EVENING NEWS.

Lake, writes to a friend in this place
that he considers the prospects Of that
Mace better at this time than he has
ever seen them. The snow has become
so deep now that a fall of three or four
feet does not make any difference to
them, as all they know about it is that
it shows a little higher mark on the
trees. The California Company have
their new shaft down to the depth of IS
feet, and the indications Of striking the
ledge soon are good. This shaft is a
large double one and well timbered.
The Company, we learn, intend to put
up hosting works in the Spring. The
U. S. Grant Company keep their mill
constantly running, and have managed
through all the bad weather to pay reg
ular monthly dividends. The mill OF
the Golden Eagle Company has started
up, and will in q few days send in the
proceeds of their first run to n of the
Assay office of Virginia or Gold Hill, to
have it melted and asSayed. All the
mines in the district that had made the
necessary preparations for working dur
ing the winter, are busy. The Mohawk
Company are getting in their machinery
for their mill, it being much easier to
take il in on the snow than when there
is none. The majority Of our citizens
are more or less interested in the mines
of Excelsior, and will 10 doubt be glad
to hear that the prospects are so good.
ANOTHER SroRN.-For two days past
the weather was warm and pleasant.
The warm sunshine during the day, and
the wind at night, had the effect to dry
up the mud very rapidly, in fact, yes
terday we noticed a number of places in
Virginia, where four days since the
streets was quite muddy, they had be-
come dry and solid. Last night at IL
o'clock, the wind began to blow quite
hard, although not a cloud was TO be
seen, in the sky at II O'Clock. The
stars blinked with uncommon bright
ness, and the atmosphere was very clear.
The general expression of every one
was, that there was going TO be good
weather and good roads. But this
morning, how changed were the as
poets. The sky was overspread with
dark clouds, and small fakes Of snow
were gently dropping to the earth at in
~tervals. At $ O'Clock old Boreas got on
rampage" and from that until II
o'clock there was q regular old-faShion-
ed snow-storm. What the country is
coming TO is hard to predict. One
storm after another has been the order
of exercise for the past fifty days. How
ever, this is the Winter season.
MAX WALrER.-This morning We had
a conversation with Max Walter in re-
gard to what he designed doing. He
informed us it was his design to make
an effort to start a "show" in Virginia
again. What he is waiting for is for
the people of Virginia to give him some
encouragement. That Max knows how
to keep up a good show is a fact that
has been fully demonstrated to the peo-
pie Of Virginia and Gold Hill. In fact,
Max is the only person who has ever
given n successful show in the State.
He has ever used his utmost endeavors
to do the best by our citizens in his
power. Now, what he wants is, a place
to perform in, and as money is very
scarce with him he wishes those inter-
ested to come forward and assist to
whatever extent they feel able.
vIRGISIA.-The only excitement in
Virginia this morning, was dog-ight-
ing. So dull is it, that a fight between
two small dogs on c street, attracted a
crowd of more than two hundred per-
sons, all excited and eager to see whose
~s'purp" would come out ahead. In a
short time, however, the street was full
of dogs all bowling and fighting like so
many devils. If there is a city or town
on the Pacific coast that is cursed with
a legion of miserable, bowling ours, that
make night hideous, we are satisfied
Virginia has a double portion. Not
half the dogs have tags, for if a license
was collected for all of them the city
would be out of debt.
EASTERN PUBLIcATIoNs.-Wil. Bur-
rail-, corner of Union and G street, Vir-
ginia, has again made US his debtor n
grateful friend and admirer. Yesterday
we received from him q package Of late
Eastern papers and periodicals, among
which are Godey's Lady's Book for
February, Leslie's and Harper's l
trated, the New York Ledger, Literary
Album, Budget Of Fun, etc., for all OF
which he will accept our thanks.
NEW HorEL.-Mr. Russell, who for
some time had charge of the eating de-
partment of the Vesey House, is taking
down the old Athletic Club building
and is removing it to the opposite side
of the street, with the intention OF re-
buildins i, for q hotel. Russell has the
reputation with those who have boarded
with him of knowing how to set q good
table, and he will doubtless keep a good
house. Gold Hill is making some i'm
provements all the time.
VIsIrISa.-The teachers ofthe Second
and Third Ward Schools in Virginia
secured permission from the School
Directors to visit the schools of the
First and Fourth Wards Of Virginia
and the schools Of Gold Hill. This is a
most excellent idea and will ~undoubted-
ly prove highly beneficial to the teach
ers to visit each others schools and see
what the government of the schools is.
PIONEER MARKEr.-Mr. Sharff, just
above the Eclipse stables, has repaired
and reftted his meat market in fine
STYLE, and has on hand some Of the fat
test and healthiest beef, mutton and
pork, to be found in Gold Hill. Sharf
is ~persevering, and deserves a good run
of custom.
Nor THE MANI was a mistake, the
other day, when we saidthat Boohinger'
If American Flat, had a fight with an
other man. It happened at his house,
hut the ightist was a butcher living in
the neighborhood. Boohinger never
gets into any fights. He is a peaceaoie
