THE EVENING NEWS.
SHUT Dowy.-The Savage works yes

" VINO NOuAoS 10 uOb luAI
understood. II is reported that the
mine has shut down in consequence Of
the dumps being full and the roads
to Washoe, where the mills Of the CON-
pany are situated are in such a horri-
BILE condition that they are unable to
have the ore shipped. This may be the
reason, but we are Of the opinion that
the features Of the suit instituted by
r~hornburgh, has something to do with
the matter. Ifthere is no steam up in
the works it will be rather hard for the
knowing ones to get into the mine. One
thing is certain, while the Court may
have power to grant the plaintiffs the
privilege of going into the mine and
making surveys, it cannot grant the
power to use the machinery Of the Saw
age mine to let the men down into it.
Now, if there is no steam up, we don't
know how they are going to fulfil the or
der Of Court within the time specified.
II 1t is Mr.. T~hornburgh's mine we are
afraid he will have to sink a shaft TO
ind out the facts before he can get in.
Can't some one bring suit against the
ShuSA paliuk mlucS VI buS SOAuesONA
and make them quit work?
GOULD & CURRY MILL.-Few persons
know the capacity of some Of our larg-
est mills, of which the Gould K Curry
is one Of the most extensive. When
this mill was first erected but forty
stamps were put up, although it was
built with n view to put in forty addi-
tional stamps. The first forty were put
up on the dry-crushing principle, which
was found to be an Improbable method
of working the ore. After fully testing
the dry-crushing process, the additional
forty stamps were put in as wet crush
ers, and the others were changed from
dry to wet crushers. The mill at the
present time has a capacity of eighty
stamps, and reduces 100 tons OF ore per
day, making the amount of one crush
ing in u month, allowing them to run
% days, 1850 tons. The Gould 4 Curry
Company are At the present time, we
understand, working in their W mill
all the ore they take from their mine.
The Gould 4 Curry is probably the larg-
est and best built mill in the State,
having cost more than any other two
mills in Nevada, although it has not the
capacity to do double the work OF any
two mills.
DOC PoIsoSISG.-This morning, quite
a number of full-blooded ours were
found in the streets of Virginia dead
died Of pi-sn. Every now and then
"a lovely purp, of untold value, would
give a shudder, fall to the ground and
expire. We have recognized some OF
them as being a few of the same that
have been, for the past month, singing
n requiem to US every night. We GER
tainly will not mourn for their untimely
demise. 1t is the earnest desire OF
some people, that 80 out Of 100 of the
miserable, bowling ours, that now make
night hideous, would receive q portion OF
strychnine, and thus rid the town of a
nuisance that should long since have
been abated.
SwEEyy GuARD.-A meeting Of the
Sweeny Guard was held at Theatre
Hall, Gold Hill, on Wednesday evening,
Major j. j. Hayes, of General Winters
Staff, presiding. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: John
McGinty, Captain; Jas. Mccoy, First
Lieutenant; J.. Cosgrove, Second Lieu
tenant; C. l.. Murphy, Second Brevet
Lieutenant; VIM. Redmond, Orderly
Sergeant. II was unanimously voted
that the company have a public parade
on the 22d inst, Washington's Birthday.
The Company, we believe, also intends
to honor the Anniversary fist. Patrick's
Day, the nth Of March.
PAINFUL AccIpESr.-Yesterday after
noon, as a young man named Simons
was engaged at work in the Crown
Point mine, at the lower end of a
"schute," a small piece of ore suddenly
fell down, supposed to be by accident,
and striking Simons square in the face,
broke his upper jaw, cutting his upper
LIP in two, and knocking out three Of his
teeth. The wound is a very painful
one, and will disfgure him somewhat.
DR.. CASTOR was called to attend the
patient, and is doing all he can TO mend
the injuries.
CLOSED Up.-Last night at IL o'clock, |
the store of n. Grange L Co., on G
street, was seized under attachment for
the sum Of SIS, 900 by parties from San
Francisco. So says report. We went
TO the store and found it closed to-day,
and suppose the report must be well
founded. What is to be done remains
for the future to reveal.
MAX wALrER.-Max is going around
town, and all that can be got out of his
head is that he twill tell you some
tings in a few days" From what we
learn from others, we believe Max will
show the people Of Virginia and Gold
Hill q good show in a few days. TO IN,
Max, we wish you luck.
