TaE BALL OF ALL BALts.-Those who

TaE BALL OF ALL bALLS.-IhoSe VINO
may have been disappointed thus for
this season in the balls that have taken
place, il any there be, will have no far
Their cause to complain; for oil the night
Of New Years Day the second annual
ball of Washoe Engine Company No. 4
takes place at Athletic Hall, Virginia.
This ball, it is generally conceded, will
be the very gaycst and best OF the sea
son. Numerous people from Gold Hill
will be there, and all the best looking
ladies in Storey county will also grace
the happy occasion with their presence.
The best musical talent in the State has
been engaged, the hall will be appro-
priately trimmed and decorated, and
when the ball transpires it will be an
occasion of true pleasurable enjoyment,
long to be remembered by all who par
ticipate.
Our MISEs.-We have not heard OF q
single mine in Gold Hill being damaged
to any extent by the heavy rains. 1t IS
true, several of them had some water
run in, but not enough to do very se'i-
Gus damage. The only drawback now
is the ropds are so cut and broken up,
and so many bridges across water-eourses
carried away that it will DO q lew
days,,or perhaps a few weeks, before
much ore can be hauled to the mills
down the auyon The mills on the
Carson river will hardly be able to do
much, beyond repairing their dams n
bitches, and cleaning their premises, Tor
a month or two. But it cant be heiped.
Nor DAxAGxp.-The W on the
cas-, side of Main street, Wednesday at
,ernoon at three o'clock, became choked,
and broke away q short distance above
the Catholic church, in Gold Hill, and
n tremendous torrent rushed on to the
church lot. Father Meagher, Thomas
Carroll, and several others soon rushed
10 the rescue and by hard work o
cut a channel which drained the premi-
ses of the water, which stood n loot
deep along side Of the church, but luck
ily none went inside. There was not a
dollars worth Of damage done.
SANTIAGO MILL.-This mill is located
on Carson river, q few miles below En-
pire city. Reports were current day be-
fore yesterday that the river had risen
so high that the mill was tottcring on
its foundation. The Superintendent
came up Yesterday, aud from him we
learn that the mill is all safe, and that
it did o experience much damage. a
slight overflow of muddy water, the
washing away of the dam aud n lot OF
tailings, etc, is about all the damage
sustained.
BLACK Crook DEMoRALIzED.-The
Black Crook Melodeon, Virginia city,
did not open its jolly portals last even
ing at all. 1t has defuncted for the
present, from want Of patronage, and
we understand the excellent troupe
which has been performing there, pro-
pose travelling under the name and style
of the Spriggs & Edwards Minstrels.
They will visit Colo Hill, Silver City,
DAYTON, Carson, and other points, and
we bespeak them q kindly reception, as
really talented and deserving artists.
