THE EVENING NEWS.

US that the weather for the last twenty
days has been warm and pleasant. The
snow is disappearing very rapidly-not
being more than eight or ten feet deep
at the present time; and should the same
kind Of weather continue during the
month Of May, the ground will be bare
by the FIRST of June. The people do not
desire an early emigration this season,
as they saw the evil effects Of il last
year. A few strangers are now going
in there. The trail is open for pack
animals to Cisco, and in good travelling
condition. Quite n number Of the mines
are being vigorously prospected, while
preparations are being made TO work
other claims. The following are the
items as they were written US: 1.-The
Golden Eagle ledge is being vigorously
prospected, and the rock looks splen-
didly. Il is carefully assorted, and can
not fail to give magnificent results.
The California Shaft N the knicker-
booker lode is down full $50 feet, and
has truck a body Of pay ore three feet
wide. The ledge is more than eight
feet wide. Tho California mill will
star, shortly. The Excelsior Company
resume work in May, and are confident
of success. The Mohawk & Montreal
shaft has exposed = ledge more than
two fee. wide Of excellent ore, at a depth
of $50 feet below the apex. The mill
has not been hurt by the winter storms
the machinery is all housed, and mill
ing will very shortly. The
Gold Run Phoenix is now and has been
at work on their tunnel through the
past season. The ore is looking really
rich. An assessment Of one dollar per
share was levied . few days since. Tit
Comet Company, shooting Star ledge,
are preparing for work. This claim
stands high, and is owned largely IN
Sacramento by parties who hold 1t At a
good figure. The Grant, with \ very
Indifferent mill, is crushing rock thai
yields from $40 to $50 per ton. The
Kentucky claim, owned principally IN
Virginia city, has been worked this
spring, and prospects finely. The En-
terprise Company are getting ready TO
put up new and suitable machinery, and
are ssaguine OF achieving a success.
MORE SItvER.-This morning, at the
Assay Office of Van Wyck Co., Gold
Hill, we Jaw . silver bar taken from
1000 pounds OF ore from the Tarshish
mine, Monitor District. The bar is
marked, "'Tarshish mine; S3e ounces;
gold, DIG fine; silver, $50 fine; value,
gold, S277 IA; silver, s26 Is; total
value, l,2O3 So. Thus it will be seen
tina, the ore gave a yield Of S3iS per
ton. The ore was worked at = mill in
washoe. Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Graft
have the management Of the mine. The
Company 10 composed principally Of
parties residing in Schenectady, n. York,
and is called the Schenectady Mining
Company. The Company owns several
mines, and the Tarshish is one of them.
Messrs. Wilson and Graf gave US several
very handsome specimens OF the ore,
which resembles the soft chalky ore OF
the Ophir, and completely filled with
black sulphurets of silver. The ledge
was tapped by a tunnel al the depth OF
300 feet. They have drifted into it Il
feet, and End a very superior quality OF
ore all through il. The actual size OF
the ledge is not known yet. On the
surface, the lode 10 $50 feet wide. What
j. will be below is difficult TO say. The
assay of ore worked, was 1864 SO per ton,
showing . good working Of the ore.
yanwyck L Co. told US they had made
assays Of some Of the ore that gave a re-
turn of over $4,000 TO the ton. We
have never seen better silver ore from
the Comstock than the specimens given
US Yesterday, which were taken from
Tarshish miae at 300 feet deep. The
bar will be sent to Schenectady, y. l.,
to show the Company what the result OF
their investments have been. The pros
poets Of outside districts are certainly
good. From every part of the State
there are good reports. II is not all
talk, for the tangible proofs are now
coming in the shape Of silver and gold
bars. The wealth Of Nevada is in its
infancy, bu, from the mineral develop
ments that are now being made all over
the State, it will soon be ~ the head OF
the list.
WAsHor.-The roads to Washoe and
Ophir arc again in good order, and all
the mills in both places are busy crush
ing ore from Gold Hill and Virginia.
Wood is coming in very rapidly. The
price is coming down every day, and in
A week or two more it will have found
its old price. The past winter has been
A hard one on the Washoeites, as they
are dependant on the Comstock for ore
to run their mills, and also for a market
for their wood. During the past winter
the roads have been ~blockaded, and not
until the past two weeks have they been
able TO get any ore in or send out any
wood or timbers.
Go TO WoRX.-There are 1t this time
in Gold Hill aud Virginia, more than
one hundred men, who are healthy and
stout, who never do anything to obtain
A livelihood. But whenever they see
ANY one who has a dollar, follow him
I'D until be is glad TO hand it over to
get rid of them. There is not a day
that we are not asked for money by
some of these men. II is our design
hereafter, TO jot down the names OF these
parties and publish them, so that the
public may know who they are. We
have on our list now four or Ave, who,
if they do not 60 to work will DO e1-
posed.
Coop JuDGNESr.-We notice that the
celebrated Heller-acknowledgsd to be
the best magician and pianist that has
ever visited the Pacific coast-hss Mr..
J. Alexander as his business agent. Mr..
Heller could not have selected a more
reliable, shrewd, and wide-awske bus
mess manager than the old show-horse
Alexander. He knows every town, its
appreciation Of shows, and every road
and neck of land on the coast. We hope
Hold .Aleck" will not fail to visit our
Town.
CHoP.Housx.-One of the very best
places in Virginia city to get gooo
meal to order, a 6rIt-rste cup OF ten or
coffee, or an oyster stew, is at No. g.
South C street, second door to Spaui-
ding's saloon, prepared by Melsing &
Schasfer, two popular Gold Killers.
Mr.. Melsing is one of the most ACCOM-
