H EVENING NEWS.

L III LIZ LAN LANo ~
BALL OF rHE MINERS UsIoS.-The
ball given at Fort Homestead last even
ing. BY the Miners Union Of Gold Hill,
was a mos, complete success. The hall
vas beautifully decorated with flags
and banners, also with a number of
pictures aud paintings. In the south
end was the armory of the Gold Hill
military, with two large flags forming
IAN arch over them, and underneath was
u large portrait of Washington. On the
east side was a large portrait of Lincoln,
with Grant, Sherman aud Sheridan
hanging opposite. In the center were
the flags of the Miners Union, the Fire
Companies and the Fenian Brotherhood.
In addition TO these was Number OF other
flags, and many 6ne paintings, etc. We
should Judge there were not less than IS
ladies and 200 gentlemen present.
As far rs our capacity goes, we certain
ly are compelled to pronounce it the
best Ball we lave ever seen in Storey
county. All credit to the miners, for
they eau get up a grand ball as well as
s"ANkluk u HNShs AuSAV y iASS
ent two couple who had been united IN
the holy bonds of matrimouy in the
earlier part Of the evening, and came TO
the ball TO start their happiness 10 the
world. We endeavored TO ascertain the
names Of the parties but their modesty
would not allow them to disclose the
fact. The suppers given at the Chop
House of Andy Welch, aud at the San
Francisco Restaurant, were most deci-
dedly splendid. The ball, like every
thing else undertaken by this Assoeia-
lion, Was 3 success; fisttering to its
members, aud pleasant to all who at
tended.
4 WAsHoE CABINEr.-Mauy OF our
Gold Killers will remember the very
pretty and valuable cabinet of specimens
which Mr.. Melsing, opposite the Eclipse
stables, had in his saloon u year ago.
Well, he very considerably took his
cabinet over TO Sacramento had = large
new case made, and with II large and
valuable collection Of other specimens
Is now exhibiting them at the State Fair.
A newspaper reporter gives the follow
ing account of ii: The mineral col
lection Of Gustave Melsing, located in
the northeastern portion of the hall, is
"a very tiue one. 1t embraces ores from
all the principal claims Of Nevada and
California, and some from Mexico, Lake
Superior. etc. A specimen Of natural
silver wire, from the Ophir, il much ad-
mired, as are likewise some specimens
from the Yellow Jacket, Golden Era,
Mexican, Empire of Grass Valley, aud
numerous others, some reaching AS high
as $50. 900 TO the ton. A lump of pla-
tina, weighing about an ounce, is shown,
and also some pieces cf petrifed wood.
This collection is tsstefully arranged,
and experts in minerals tsrry over the
cases and seem much pleased
FRoM H LAKE.-We learn from Mr..
Dean, who came TO Carson from Lake
Tahoe, recently, that, on the return OF
cooler weather, most OF the visitors
there have gone TO their homes in the
valleys of California aud Nevada. Still
i, is more delightful up there than here
tofore. Even in the mountains the sun
in the middle of the day has been very
hot-scsrcely less scorching than IN the
valleys. We hear parties talking OF u
visit 10 the Gleubrook and Zephyr Cove
Hotel. Our opinion is, u more delight
faI time than the presen, could not be
choseu.-CarsoH appeal.

stand that DR.. Hitler, Of Virginia city, is
performing a very important surgical
operation to-day, consisting OF cutting
