H EVENING NEWS.

SPRISs.-There is o only music in
the word ''spring," but it has a voice
which speaks OF better times. The past
long and dreary winter has been one of
the most disagreeable ever experienced
in the land Of sage-brush and silver
bricks; but from the present appearance
of things, it has passed away, to take
its place at the head of the list Of "bad
weather" Now that spring, with good
roads and all the many good things that
follow in the train Of pleasant weather,
is here, aud with the most excellent
prospects Of our mines, we may conf
IDENTIFY look for one Of the most lively
seasons ever seen in Nevada. The lively
pulsations of spring will throb in every
mining district in the State, which will
show its effect through the whole world.
We have heard many of our Oldest min
ing Superintendent express themselves
TO the effect that the spring and summer
Of 1867 will be one of the most lively
and prosperous ever seen in this country.
II has been proven beyond a doubt that
the Comstock lode is not a superficial
one, but that it continues to yield even
better ore from the lowest points attain
ed than at any other level. II has also
been demonstrated that there are other
districts, outside Of Gold Hill and vir-
GINA, where good paying ore is found.
Thousands of prospectors will, during
the present spring and coming summer,
scour the rocky, unprospected ranges of
mountains from California on the west
to Utah on the east, and from Oregon
and Idaho on the north TO Arizona on
the south. Many new and rich discov-
cries will no doubt be made by these
prospecting parties. Let no one be dis
couraged with Nevada, for the time is
not far distant when she will be the first
mining State in the Union. Let those
who have nothing to do so prospecting.
If theyfnd nothing, they will lose moth
ing.
OPERA HoUsE.-The attendance ut the
Opera House last evening was not near
so large as might have been expected
under the circumstances. The dress
circle was as full, however, as it could
be but the ~parquette was not more than
half full. The play, The Pearl Of Sa-
voy, or, Il Mothers Prayer" was well
rendered. In fact il was played as well
last evening as we have ever seen any
piece in the State. We annot eulogize
any one in particular, as each did their
whole duty. The performance wound
up by the recitation Of ''Shamus o.
Brien," BY DR.. Gates. The Doctor was
evidently very nervous, either from
fright or from the fact that for the past
W or three weeks he has been a Good
Templar, and he says his nerves have
not become steady yet. One thing is
certain, however, that the recitation
was much better than we expected, al
though we looked for considerable from
that quarter. The audience kept a per-
feet silence, excepting at the end Of
each verse, when he was loudly applaud
ed. Occasionally, however, some eS-
ci,able son OF Erin would give express
sion TO his feelings At some of the mos
touching places. In all, every thing
went of well and the relief fund will
realize perhaps $500 clear. "Colleen
Bawu" is the play for tonight.
CAvE.-Sight before last there was
a heavy cave in the rear of the Fulton
Market, on B street, Virginia. Some
ten feet from the wall Of the building
there was a brick wall nearly three feet
thick, laid up Of brick, TO protect the
e~mbaukment from falling down. The
ground had become so saturated with
water that it pressed in against the wall
so that the whole mass came down
against the back Of the main building,
frightening the men who were sleeping
in the back part Of the market almost
out of their wits. No serious damage
was done, however, as it did not crush
in the iron doors. The ground in many
places is caving badly, owing to its be-
coming so soft. We understand that
quite a cave occurred in the 200-foot
level Of the Choliar mire on the same
night.
SHOULD Be WoRSED.-The road from
the top Of the hill, above town, to the
Gold Hill line, on the Divide, should
have some work done on il. The mud
is nearly all gone now but the road is
badly cut up, the ruts being from one
TO two feet deep, all the way. Nearly
all the teams turn of on the Divide to
the east, and come down q back street,
in order TO avoid this stretch Of bad

very bad. Four men in two days would
nut the road in excellent order. Here
tofore all that has been necessary for
rs 70 do vas to make mention of = bad
niece of road or a dangerous shaft, and
il was looked after at once. Now, here
ia something which demands immediate
action. Will it receive IL?
TRUSTEE M~EErISG.-At meeting OF
the Board Of School Trustees Of Gold
Hill, last evening, the resignation Of
Miss Barnstead was accepted, and Miss
Anna Lecount, Of Virginia, was appoint
ed to fill the vacancy. A resolution OF
thanks to Miss Barnstead, was passed
for her untiriug efforts as a teacher for
the time she has had charge Of the pri-
mary school Of Gold Hill. Although
she goes away perhaps forever from the
scenes of her present labors, she Wii
evidently be remembered and cherished
in many a young heart, as she was de-
servedly beloved by all her pupils.
MARSHAL BEGAN. 1t having been
repor,ed that the present Marshal Of
Gold Hill would not be.a candidate for
reelection, that gentleman has author
lied us to say that he will be a candi-
date, and in due time will
himself as such. Marshal Began has a
host of friends, and he is encouraged by
them to run again. No one can deny it
but that he has made the best Marshal
the town has ever had.
A Coop woRK.-Chief Edwards, this
morning, has several carts at work haul
ing rock into the deep mire-holes on U
street. The street, generally, is In
tolerably good order, but there are a
few places that have been almost im-
