THE EVENING NEWS.


Jacket claim, doing little or Mt damage,
however. The good ore in that part of
the mine extended up to within a few
feet Of the surface. Small hosting
works were erected at that point, and
all the ore taken out to within q few
feet of the top of the ground. Since the
storms Of winter set in the ground be-
came saturated with water, and as q
natural result, the surface having moth
ing to support it, dropped in. The cave
as it now shows itself is about one hum
dred feet long, twenty-five wide and will
average twenty feet in depth. The
ground on the upper side continues to
drop of in small fakes. The cave will
not prove injurious to the Yellow Jacket
mine, but from all appearances the
Comet mill stands on dangerous ground,
being Just at the north end of the sunken
ground and in q line with IL.
THE PRosPEcrs.-Any q passing
through the mines of Gold Hill at this
time would not hesitate to say that the
prospect, as it regards an abundance of
ore, was never better than at this time.
There is one continued line of wagons
from the Imperial mine to the Crown
Point being loaded with quartz. Yet
no impression seems TO be made on the
OVERLOOKING dumps. In our experience
of four years among the mines OF Gold
Hill, We have never seen as much ore
out ready for shipment as there is at
the present time. All the dumps are
filed, and the whole hill side is COM
pletely covered with ore. Should the
present fine weather continue for a
month, some of the largest shipments
ever made from Gold Hill may be looked
for. As there is an abundance of ore
10 keep all the mills in the country
busy for q long time to come already
out.
GRANITE MILL. Yesterday we no.
ticed that preparations were being made
to start up this mill again, and called
in. We found our friend Jim Stafford
at work repairing the boiler, which was
in a most horrible condition. There were
large scales which were Clipped up
from the inside of the boiler, some of
them being two and a half inches in
thickness. He informed US that it was
hard to tell what condition the iron
would be found in when they got down
to it. In other parts of the mill men
were at work repairing the machinery
and woodwork. Lem. Goliath, we
understand, is the party who is going to
start this mill up this time, and we will
venture the assertion that it will do as
good work as any mill in Gold Hill; for
Lem. has had a long experience in our
mills and mines.
BENEFIT OF R. II. TAYLoR.-It will be
seen by an advertisement in another col
umn, that the Silver Star Dramatic Club
have rendered to R. H. Taylor a COM
p~limentary benefit, to come of on Sat-
urday evening next, at Maguire's Ope-
"a House, Virginia. Mrs. Sue Robinson
Getzler has rendered her services for the
occasion. We are informed by Mr.. |
Taylor, that he is making the necessary
arrangements to have this the best per-
formance of the season. From the |
known ability of those who will take
part in the performance, we do not hes
itate to say that on Saturday evening |
next the people of Virginia and Gold
Hill will have the pleasure Of witnessing
the best play put before u citizens for
years past. Let all who are fond OF an
excellent entertainment be on hand.
ALMOST A FIRE.-0n Tuesday night,
in east Dayton, (which is across the
river,) there came near being a FIRE.
The particulars are as follows: In q
house belonging to Mr.. Perish, by some
means o blanket was left so near the
stoye-pipe that it took FIRE and burnt a
large hole through the upper floor, and
soon communicated with the ceiling,
when it was discovered. By great e1-
ertion being made the flames were quel-
led without doing any great damage. On
Sunday night a FIRE was started in that
portion of Dayton known as Chinatown,
but was discovered in time to prevent
any serious damage.

Coop TIxr.-The Pioneer stages by
the Bonner Lake route are making most
excellent time. The cars now run to
Alta, and within q few days will run rs
far as Cisco again. The sleighing e1-
tends from Alta to Crystal Peak, and
from that point to Virginia the road is
generally good, so the time made now

the summer season. The stages arrived
this morning at 8 o'clock.
