H EVENING NEWS.

PINE GRovE.-This morning we had
the pleasure Of meeting Mr.. Wellington
Of wellington's Station, in Virginia. He
i, jus, in from Pine Grove or Wilson
District. He speaks in high terms Of
the mines. He says = great many per-
sons are flocking into the mountains in
that section. A new road is being built
BY Mr.. Wellington, from his place TO
the mines, which will make the distance
not more than one-half what it now is,
and will not be more than IS miles at
most, from welliugton's Station to Will
sons mine. He has also put q splendid
coach on the road between the mines
and Virginia, BY WAY Of Gold Hill, Sill
YER City, Dayton and til Warm Springs.
The trip is made in one day. From
what we learn from all who have visit
ed that part Of the country, We have no
doubt but what there are some excellent
lodges there. Billy Brown left Virginia
for that section this morning. He is an
old miner and has promised TO write us
what he thinks Of the country.
NAY FrsrIvAL.-The Germans are
making great preparations for their May
Festival at Fort Homestead, Gold Hill,
to come off on uex, Sunday and Monday.
A splendid Brass Band will enliveu the
occasion, day and night. Athletic En-
ercises BY the different clubs dancing
in the Pavilion splendid dinners cooked
to order-such as all kinds Of game,
fowls, and all the d~elicacies Of the sea-
son one hundred gallons Of Ice cream
large quantities Of lemonade, and other
beverages-including FIVE hundred gal
Ions Of the very best Lager Beer, from
every Brewery in Storey county, as well
as from Carson city, Dayton, and Silver.
These are a few of the " creature CON-
forts" to be enjoyed. For, Homestead
will be beautifully adorned and decora-
ted with Flags, and flowers, and the
festive occasion will excel anything OF
the kind ever before behSld in this sec
ton. As the occasion is 10 last two
days, we doubt not there will be = grand
and glorious time generally. The Ger
mans especially, far and near, are COM
ing to participate.
IxPRovlSG.-One OF the best places to
Judge Of the amount Of business that is
being done is a, the office Of Wells,
Fargo / Co. in Gold Hill or at Virginia.
Thi. morning and yesterday morning,
in Virginia, about all we heard, while
10 the Office, was the jingle Of twenty
dollar pieces, AS two men were engaged
in filling sacks with them. These. no
doubt, are to be used in paying of men
who have been employed in the mines,
and TO pay the dividends to such parties
as draw their money here. During last
month money WAS very scarce, owing TO
the fac, that in February and March a
great many miners were knocked OF, y
did not get q chance TO do anything
until the first Of April. Since payday
every one seems TO have plenty OF coin.
AcrrvI.-Not since the days of 1868,
have we seen the city Of Virginia as
lively AS i, is at the present time. The
sidewalks are crowded With men and
the streets are so full of teams that
il 10 almost impossible TO drive through
them. All kinds Of business is lively.
Job wagons and drays loaded with mer-
chandiss are seen going in all directions.
All the Mills in the vicinity are busy.
All the mines are taking out good ore,
and everybody who wants work gets 1t.
We cannot see much change in Gold
Hill, as il is always full OF people, always
full Of teams, and everybody busy. In
short, there is not another town Of the
same size as Gold Hill in the world
where there is the same amount Of bush
mesa done.
A Coon WORD FOR A COOP Man
Among the departures from this town
on Sunday morning vas Mr.. SIMON
Oee, who goes East on the next stesmer
from San Francisco. Mr.. 0gg has been
for a long time foreman for Mr.. Charles
Van Gorder, and leaves behind him
MANY friends, especially among the
teamsters, who will ever remember his
kindness, afableness and good temper,
even in the most trying circumstances,
and whose best wishes accompany him
on his trip, hoping that be will hnd his
family and friends all we'll, and may
return once more 10 Gold Hill 70 remain
among them tor many years to come.
MORE Housrs.-we notice another
new building going up on south c street.
Virginia. In fact, a great many build
ings are being erected in different parts
Of the city. At the same time, in the
outskirts Of the city there is scarcely a
day but what we see buildings being
pulled down. Some are taken to more
central parts of the town and rebuilt,
and some are taken to Gold Hill. Vir-
ginia is larger than her people in the
matter of houses, while Gold Hill is 3
great deal too small for her population.
HAIeHr.-Haight, Of omnibus noto-
risty, has once more laid up his little
red wagon and put on his fine New York
o~mnibuse,, which have during the Win
ter been repaiuted and ref.ted, so h
going from Gold Hill to Virginia, or
ciee rersa, in them is like taking = seat
in a parlor for the same length Of time.
Far. is sgaiu,reduced to the old figure,
vhieh Ia less than boot leather IT you
walk.
OPERA HousE.-Last evening, WAS the
last performance Of Heller-on which
occasion Mr.. Heller took a beneht.
The House was tolerably well filled, as
