working Mt present. The Midas Com
many is running two shifts Of hands, two
on a shift, taking out little punches o.
ore here and there, which are deemed
rich enough to work. No particular
system seems to be pursued in working
any of the mines, and so little ore is
produced from them all that Todman $
mill, the only mill Of the District a.
present, is only able to run ABOUT nai'
the time. There is a small steam alas-

was not running at the time. Mr..
Beale's report is not very encouraging,
but we give it for what it is worth, IN n
.piri, of fairness, that our readers may
be posted in opinions on both SIDES
LAST EvsSISs's LEcruRE.-The lee
.ure on Spiritualism, given last evening
by Mrs. Laura De Force Gordon, at the
District Court room, Virginia, was a
very great success. The audience was
the larces, ever seen within those walls,
and even the entry was crowded. Mrs.
Gordon is perhaps the best lady lee
turer, on that subject, who has ever ap-
reared before an audience in this section,
not even excepting Emma Hardinge.
She is a lady Of agreeable, commanding
presence, and her voice, and general
style of address are very satisfactory.
In her lecturing, she simply taxes the
ground that no creeds, theories, or ao-
stract ideas on any subject have ever
been presented for the moral guidance
or consideration Of mankind, without
the free untrammeled liberty also being
given to fairly investigate the same;
therefore that all the new ideas ad-
vanced by modern S~piritualism as wei
as all other theories, are simply SUD-
jects given for honest thought n IN
yestipation. Few lecturers possess the
magic power of entirely controlling the
attention of so large an audience LOT an
hour and q quarter, rs she u'u
evening. She was frequently appiauueu'
and will lecture again this evening.
BLANCHARD TO THE REscuE.-Hank
Blanchard was passing down Main
street, the other evening, on his famous
mule, sold Kit," when his attention
was suddenly directed to the flames just
issuing from the burning house OF Mr..
Parker. Hank started up the old mule
TO her utmost racing capacity, and was
making splendid time towards the hre,
when in crossing q ditch, she suddenly
stumbled and fell, scattering herseii ana
rider all over that part OF the country
The crash is described to nave been
fearful. Lem. Goliath should have
been there to report the affair for the
Christian Buqle. Hank gave W fips n
n Jerk and was on his feet again.
He gathered up old Kit, threw himself
across her and was soon at the hre.
Hank swears he would have got there
first but for this accident.
PHILADELPHIA BREwERY.-The grand
fountain head, whence flows some OF the
pures. and best lager beer, is situated
in a romantic ravine about q mile north
of Virginia city. We are told that this
excellent beverage flows in all its origi-
nal purity from q natural spring, direct
lv into the kegs and bottles placed to
receive it, and was freely used by the
Piutes hundreds Of years before being
located by its present proprietors. This
remarkable beer is daily analysed by all
classes of people, and passes agrecaoiy'
every time.
Coon ORE FROM Coxo.-Four tons OF
ore from Palmyra District, recently
worked at the Eagle mills, Dayton,
welded A triHe over $40 per ton; an
other lot of eight or ten tons went over
500 10 the tom. Still another lot OF
forty or fifty tons is being worked,
which promises satisfactory results.
This is highly encouraging to all inter.
rested in the mines OF TINS district, ahu
especially to the Dayton people, as 1!
opens mp for them another source Oh
revenue.
uToLp You So."-In accordance with
our demonstrations, there is q storm
prevailing, or about to prevail. This
morning. snow whitened the streets Tor
nearly an hour, and then melted oh. IL
came very near showing or raining SOW
eral times afterward, and the prospects
are that this spell Of weather will con
tinue. The pigs Of Gold Hill don't
always point their noses east for moth
ing.
Coon PLACE TO BoARp.-Those desir'
u of a good home a always find ii
at the Mount Vernon House. ]. D.
Andrews and his estimable lady are ever
ready TO welcome the homeless, hungry
and weary, and to deal with them kind
Iv. for A very reasonable pecuniary con
s~;deratiou. Miners, and other sojourn'
ers in this vale of quartz, please maxi
a note Of this.
