THE EVENING NEWS.
PRoGREssNG.-The difficulty between

the police department of Virginia and
certain citizens of Virginia, is fast
coming to a head. Yesterday an indi-
yidual was arrested and placed in the
city Jail on the charge of being q va
grant. Mr.. Blackburn and Mr.. ]. R.
Williams fled a bond with the Police
Judge to have him released from prison,
giving themselves as bondsmen in the
sum Of 500. The bond was signed by
the Recorder, and presented by Mr..
Blackburn to officer McGinnis. He re-
fused to let the prisoner 60 until the
bond was shown to Chief Edwards, as
his orders were strictly to release no one
on bonds until he had approved them.
Blackburn at once proceeded to bring
action against Edwards, Dowuey and
McGinnis, before Justice Murray, and
caused their arrest. They gave bonds
in the sum Of $4,000 each for their ap-
pearance to-day, at IL o'clock. Prior
to the arrest, Edwards came to the Sta
ton House, and finding out that a bond
had been presented, ordered Mr. Nc
Ginnis to release the prisoner when the
bond was presented again, as he knew
nothing Of il before. How the matter
will end, is hard to tell.
ANOTHER RosBERY.-At the Praysville
House, on the Divide, evening before
last, some one entered the house be-
tween the hours of I and 10 o'clock,
and carried off three mattresses and the
clothing from three beds, from one Of
the rooms. 1t is not probable that the
parties who stole them design taking
their plumber far away. We would sug-
gest to these fellows that as a large
number Of quartz wagons left IN the
street every night without a guard over
them, many of them are loaded with
good quartz, and if they would just nip
ten or a dozen Of them It would be a
good haul, and then they would have
the sympathy of the public in their IA
vor, inasmuch as having he streets
blocked up every nigh, is a perfect nui-
sance, and If few of them would be
taken away it would prove a great con-
ve~nience to the travelling public. To
the small, petty thieves who are doing
a small business in the way Of stealing
such things as bedding, we would say:
Your day of grace is about up, and the
sooner you stop the better it will be for
you, as steps are being taken to catch
the last n of you.
ECLIPSE HoIsrISG WoRKs.-This NOR
ming we noticed that the hosting works
of the Eclipse mine were being taken
down. The smoke-stack is down and
the machinery is being removed as fast
as possible. The building will take it.
self down if they will let it alone for a
few weeks. The ground on which the
works stand, keeps creeping of to the
southeast continually. The building
has been so completely wrecked, that
there is scarcely a sound nail or Tenant
left in the building. We understand
that as soon as all the machinery and
timbers are removed from the ground,
the company intend to work the surface
of as is being done in the adjoining
claims. There is a large amount of ex-
cellent surface ore yet in this mine that
will pay we'll for taking out and milling.
The Empire will be the next victim; but
il is probable that the new works VIII
be completed and running before they
are compelled to remove the machinery
from the old place.
BrsIyEss.-lt makes a person feel
hopeful, TO look down the street In lower
Gold Hill and see the number OF teams
that are now at work hauling off quartz.
There is one continued train Of wagons
going down and another coming up |
those going down are loaded TO the orim
with rich quartz, while those coming up
have deposited their first load and are
after another. The overloaded dumps
are beset on all sides by a score Of men
with shovels, who are loading the train
as they pass. The jingle of bell teams
make music sweet TO the ear of every
one interested in the prosperity of the
country. The many mills of Gold Canon,
Dayton, Empire, Washoe, Carson,
Spring Valley, Silver City, Johntown
and Carson River, that have for the past
two weeks been lying idle for want OF
ore, have again started up, and all IS
looking prosperous. Good roads make
good times; and the present prospects
are that roads are going to be good.
DRIVEN Iy.-The deep SHOWS Of win
ter continue TO drive in those who had
taken up quarters in the mountains Tor
the winter: the last arrival was this
morning BY the Pioneer stage, via Dom
ner Lake, in the shape of Dan DeQuille.
Dan tells US that there is nothing but
snow to be seen in all parts Of the coun-
try where he has been. Both valleys
and mountains are buried in snow. He
was FIVE days getting from Downieville
To Virginia. II was reported here that
Dan had become as %corpulent as rat
Lannan; this is false, for Dan can crawl
,brouph a crack not more b four
inches wide, having had nothing but
frozen potatoes and icicles to eat for the
past two months. As long as frogs
lasted Dan lived in luxury, but the good
things of this life will not last always
c,xox HousE.-Miners read this item,
"a Won are directly interested in what
IL contains. The proprietress Of the
f.yorite boarding house, known as the
Canon House, has reduced board and
lodging to So and So per week, and
hoard to 81 per week. This is cheap,
and il is said by the best judges that
there never was a better table set In the
town than is found at this place. Civ
the Canon House a trial by all means.
THIS EvESIxG.-To-night there will
be a contest between the champion
Cock, Senator Nye, Of Gold Hill and the
champion cock Coburn of Virginia, for
500 a side, and the champion belt. II
comes off at McCourt & OrndorfFs U
street. There will be some good sport
NO doubt.
Ixpsovrss.-The road by the DON
ner Lake route is improving very rapid
", the stages now arrive in virginia
In. little after daylight. IS 0 %

as in summer.
