THE EVENING NEWS.


the street John Biggs, formerly of this
place, but who has been sojourning in
Meadow Lake for the past eight months.
He says there is double the amount OF
snow this winter, in that country, to
what there was last. The mines, how
ever, are looking we'll. The Mohawk
has n shaft down sixty feet, and find the
ore of a very superior quality. The
Gold Run company have their tunnel in
between two and three hundred feet on
the ledge. The U. S. Grant company
continue to take out rich ore in great
abundance. He thinks there will be
plenty of snow on the north side of the
hills all the coming ummer. ltmay all
be gone, however, sooner than it was
last year, owing to its being light and
soft snow.
Coon SrREErs.-The virginians have
II practice of referring to the streets OF
Gold Hill as a horrible quagmire. Well,
they are bad, covered with soft slush,
and pretty rough; besides, wagons are
frequently broken down by slipping into
the deep ruts. But on c street, opposite
the Savage Works, this morning, we
saw a wagon which had been pulled on
until it was pulled in twain. The
wheels were in the mud until they were
almost out of sight, while the bed OF the
wagon, at the hind end, was in the mud;
not slush, but = sticky mud, similar to
shoemaker's WAX. people who live in
glass houses should not throw stones
Ii is bad enough to bear the slush with
on, being twited about it.
WHAT is TO BE DoNE?-The city Jail in
Virginia, yesterday, sent to the county
Jail FIVE persons, most of whom are
charged with larceny. There still re-
main rs many in the city Jail as McGin-
mis- can properly accommodate. The
county Jail is filled almost to its utmost
capacity. The cause Of such q tremen-
dous run being made or the city Jail
doubtless is. that many persons are out
of employment and without money, and
in order to get something to eat commit
acts they would not be guilty of if they
had employment, in order TO get into
Jail. A good plan would be to give
them something TO do in the way OF
clearing the mud from the streets and
filing up chuck-holes.
Mass MEErISG.-The mass meeting in
Virginia city last night was largely
attended BY all classes-miners, me-
chanics, mill men, merchants, teamsters,
mine Trustees, and professional men. \
more enthusiastic meeting we have never
seen in the city. The speeches, BY SEN
atorS HutchinS, Sumner, and others,
were instructive and truthful, and were
received with shouts of applause from
the whole audience, showing plainly
how the people feel in regard to the
proposed bill TO tax our mining interests.
MINING ACcIpESr.-LouiS Zeuch, a
carman in the North Yellow Jacket
shaft, last night run the car of the
track BY which it went down q distance
of - feet. Not satisfied with running
the car off, he went over head foremost
after il. Neither the car nor the man
head were broken, although his head
was severely cut. He was taken to the
office of Dr.. Myer and had his wounds
dressed. The accident occurred through
his own carelessuess.
