THE EVENING NEWS.

rains set in, saturating the ground with
water, the earth over the Gould & Cur
ry mine has been gradually settling
down, until that part of c street cross
ing the mine has become so much lower
than on the outside ground that it
stands full Of mud and water. A few
evenings since the rear wall of wall of q
brich house on c street in the sunken
locality, gave way and fell. Many Of
the wooden buildings are thrown out Of
plum. On the hill above, where the
old office Of the Curry stood, there is 3
wall several hundred feet long, caused
by the earth sinking down on the lower
side, leaving the solid ground on the up
per side, forming q perpendicular bank
from two to four feet high. The ground
below has all been filled in, so there is
no danger Of q sudden ave. This, and
a portion Of Gold Hill proper are the
only places where any settling has oc-
CURED on the surface. 1t is caused by
good ore extending up so near the sur.
face that the ground has been followed
out within q few feet Of the top.

An HoyEsr OrrIcER.-I. F. O'Ferrall,
ESQ, who has been County Tax-Collec-

our hands TO n word Of praise. During
the time Mr.. O'Ferrall has occupied his
Office, we have had frequent occasions
TO visit him, and we are free TO say,
that personally and socially, no a
holds a pleasanter place in our memory
than he does. Officially, Mr.. O'Ferrall
and his deputies have always been
prompt, attentive, courteous, to the pub
lie. His books, entirely new when his
administration commenced, are a model
for neatness and correctness. We al
most regret that Storey county loses so
good AN officer. May his future be
pleasant and prosperous.
HAVE Done WELL.-The late Board OF
County Commissioners-Messrs. Grim,
Denny and white-have retired from Of
fee, and been succeeded by an entirely
new Board. We believe the old Board
carries with it the friendly feeling OF
nearly everybody who has had occasion
TO transact business with them. In our
own personal intercourse with them IN
their official capacity, we have ever
been dealt with in II kindly spirit n
fair liberality. May their successors do
as well for Storey county for the next
two years.

mines has been made in the mountains
some eight miles north east OF this

The ledge is said to be four feet wide,
and showing excellent ore in every part
of il. Several persons have gone out
TO see the new district and within a day
or two more will be known Of the merits
of this discovery.
