THE EVENING NEWS.

LOOKS WELL.-Yesterday, Mr.. George
Eells took q large mirror and threw the
sunlight into the tunnel of the Cole
Company, from which so much water
comes, lighting it throughout its whole
length. The tunnel is perfectly straight,
and when the light or reflection was
thrown into it all the foul air was puri-
fed and the tunnel made rs light as
day. Mr.. Eells succeeded in getting
within forty feet Of the back end Of the
tunnel, and was prevented from going
further by the drift being filed with
rock. The material found in the tunnel
is q mixture Of clay, quartz and castings.
We are satisfied there are pretty good
indications around, from the light that
beams from Georges face when anyone
happens to say "tunnel." If q rich
strike is made in this tunnel, it will
prove of great Importance to Gold Hill
and Virginia, as it will show that there
is more than n paying ledge in this
range.
OPP FELLOWS LYcEuN.-A few weeks
since the Odd Fellows Of Virginia Or
ganized a debating Society or Lyceum
which meets on every Thursday evening
in the Odd Fellows Hall. This evening
the question is: ''Is education condu-
Give to happiness" If ignorance is
bliss, It's folly to be wise. There is
perhaps nothing so well calculated to
train the mind and lead it out into the
wide fields Of knowledge, as a debating
school. Many young men OF good nat
ural talents, for want of an opportunity
to show them, have passed through q
long life without ever being known.
Here is an opportunity offered to the
Young men of Virginia who are men
gifted with a flow of speech. Let those
who have never made an attempt, try
what they can do at making an argu-
ment. Although you may fail at first,
by perseverance, you will master.
GLAZING on or HANDs."-There are u
great many different ways of doing this.
Old VIM, the Sp~iritualist, is now in
Virginia city, and advertises that he is
practising the laying on of hands
Shakespeare. or some other dramatist,
at any rate the author of the "Honey-
NOON SAYS: "He that would lay his
hand upon a woman, save in kindness,
is unfit TO be called ever n coward"
We saw Pat. Lannan lay his hand on a
mans shoulder in Maguire's Opera
House, last Saturday evening, and he
came near getting a thrashing for 1t.
Another man, in Gold Hill, not long
ago, laid his hand on another mans
wife-and when asked the why or
wherefore, he said she let him. That's
all, on this text.
THE Ngw Unsatisfactory quite q
number of virginians were out to see
the new discovery recently made north
east of this place some eight miles.
They brought in some Of the ore with
them, which looks well. Some of it
shows free gold. The ledge is from one
to three feet in width. Some Of the
parties who were out to see the mines,
and with whom we ~conversed, l
we'll of them while others who were
there think the ledge nothing but a
small spur and will not amount to any
thing Of consequence. The ore we saw
was evidently rich in silver and gold.
The discoveries ofthese mines, however,
seem to think they have found their for
tunes. We hope their highest expecta-
tons may be realized.
DuLL.-During our experience we
have never seen so great a dearth of To-
cal items in Gold Hill and Virginia.
This is occasioned by the badroads, and
the meeting of the Legislature, one
stopping the operations of our mills and
mines to q great extent, and the other
taking away many Of our citizens to
Carson, who have gone there to log-roll
for their respective friends who are as
pirapts for office. In fact both Gold
Hill and Virginia look almost deserted.
Coon TrxE.-The time now being
made over the Bonner Lake route is
excellent for the season Of year. The
stages arrived in Virginia this morning
at 10 o'clock, which is the best time
made since the storms of winter set in.
The roads are getting in very fair con-
dition again.
BuLLIos.-The Bullion after drifting
in almost every direction, have started
a drift to the East, and like the Hale &
N~orcross, will be very liable to strike
good ore, as the pay ore alta great depth
seems to lay well to the East.
BuLLloy.-Edwards & Wiegand, Gold
Hill, received this morning, for melting
and assay, 1925 ounce crude bullion.
BuLLroS.-van Wyck L Co., Told
Hill, received this morning for netting
and assay, 2,sl7ounces crude oullion.
