THE EVENING NEWS.

some men persist in a practice which /
calculated to render them as a class
degraded in the eyes Of the community
Yesterday we were in the lower part o
Gold Hill, where there is a great deal o
mud and a great many teams, and
great deal of whipping and swearing; ou
we noticed one fellow in particular, wh(
to CRAFTY a Hyena-disposition, vented
his rage on his animals. He was driv'
ing a large team attached to a mon
strous wagon. One Of the mules Jagged
a little, when he ~dismounted, threw on
the break, and wrapping the lash around
bis hand began to beat the animal IN a
most shameful manner with the butt
end of his whip. When the animal at
tempted to go forward, his dubbed whip
was used over its head. This was con-
tinued until the whole team became so
excited that he was compelled TO deSist
or have things smashed up generally
We are satisfied that the man was not
the owner of the team; never did a
horse nor should he ever own one. we
would suggest TO the owners OF teams
TO keep their eye on the men in their
employ, and where men are guilty OF
abusing animals without any other rea-
son than TO crafty their tendiSh dispo-
sitiou. Scarcely u day passes but what
we see instances of the kind II Is true,
teamsters have Il great deal TO annoy
them, but on the other hand, such treat
ment Us the above is calculated TO ruin
the best animal in the world. Hold an
animal and beat il with a club until ITS
muscles are sore, and il would certainly
be a great fool to make an effort TO pull
afterwards. If this class of teamsters
will not listen TO reason we Will give the
names Of a few and see how that meth
cd will work.
NEW DUMP. The surface mines in
Gold Hill proper are becoming high
toned For a long time they have
been dumping the ore on the ground
and shovellng it up into the wagons
but a new ~self-loading dump is almost
completed now. The amount saved in
hired help by u dump of this kind will
pay for its construction in less than
thsee months. In oldeu times they used
10 pu, Il griSt of corn in one end of a
bag and . stone in the other end, TO
balance il, and not until the last century
did they see the philosophy of dividing
the corr and dispensing with the stone.
Just so with our mine men. They are
beginning to see that there is = profit In
building dumps whereby thousands OF
dollars can be saved every year, which
has heretofore been spent in unneces-
sary labor. Let the men who were em-
ployed in loading wagons be engaged IN
taking out ore, and there will be a clear
profit Of that much more. Teams Will
save enough more. time TO take away
the may take out by having s~elt-loading
dumps. The Crown Point, Kentuck,
Yellow Jacket and Imperial all have an
excellent opportunity to have tho same
kind Of a dump.
To BE COVERED UP.-Marshal Began
intends to have the deep shaft, up on
the Divide, near the Main street, covered
over with heavy plank. He says the
former covering was stolen for fuel.
Another dangerous shaft, on the trail
below the Imperial mpire shaft, is also
to be covered overland if any more
lumber thieves disturb these shatt-cover-
ings, they will be ferretted out, and
made TO serve a term in the chain-gang
for the benefit of the public.

STREETS IL VIRGrNIA.-The streets in

chance for the roads to dry up it the
