TEx BALL LAST NIGHr.-The Union
Jubilee ball last night at Fort Home
stead, was, as was predicted, a most
gratifying affair to all the happy partic-
ipants, aud u triumphant success. The
hall was finely trimmed with flags, pic
lures, etc., and was well crowded with
an agreeable company. The music was
excellent, and tho eatable refreshments
prepared and arranged after n style cal
culated to suit every one 1t was not
one Of those fancy cold chicken, tripe,
and pie arrangements generally palmed
of at q big price as a "ball supper"
but Jenkins, Jones, Smith and Popkins
could take their ladies along and get
q nice little lunch Of fresh oysters,
roast turkey, poached eggs, hot rolls,
coffee, tea, cakes, cheese, wine and all
that sort of thing which they chose to
pay for, and as often as they saw fit thus
to recuperate the inner man and woman.
Gold Hill was pretty well represented,
as also was Virginia, and many were
present from Dayton. Indeed, although
this was a Union jubilee Of triumph
over Lu6 EGUulLS VI buO Ahbc ClCNbiOu "
several Of our Democratic friends were
present and assisted in the general en-
joyment. The Grant Glee Club m
how failed to connect, only three or
four Of them sbeing present, therefore
no singing was done. Tho dancing was
INDUCED in only the more extensively,
and the ball broke up about } O'Clock
this morning. Balls given at Gold Hill
are generally successful, like the one OF
last night. Who gives the next?
IupERIAL-ENriRE SHAFr.-This i'm
portant shaft is now completed to the
depth Of 1850 feet. The rock at pres
emit encountered is considerably softer,
therefore faster progress is made in
sinking than a short time ago. Super
intendent Colcord informs us that he
will doubtless have the shaft l, 100 feet
deep by or before the last OF December.
At that level a station will be opened to
run in and prospect the ledge for the
rich bodies Of ore which it is presumed
TO contain at that depth. According to
the present "dip" Of the ledge, it should
be only 40 feet from the shaft ut the
l,lOO-foot level, which short distance
will be quickly run and the ledge cut at
that point by the lst Of February.
Meanwhile the deeper sinking Of the
shaft will be continued without ces-
sation until the shaft itself shall cut the
ledge, which il is calculated to do at
the depth of u little over 1000 feet from
the surface. Not much water is en-
couutered in sinking, and judging from
the experience Of the Bullion Company,
the prospects are that still less will be
found ut greater depths. Success to
deep shafts. The lower levels Of our
mines are the most interesting points OF
consideration at the present time.
GRAVE CONTROVERSIAL the last
meeting Of the Virginia Board OF Fire
Delegates, a special committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, reported hay
ing purchased a plot Of ground near
the city for a iremsn's cemetery, and
duly fenced and prepared the same in a
suitable manner. There are now separ-
ate burial grounds for the Masons, Odd
Fellows, Firemen, Catholics, Jews and
Gentiles Of Virginia, whore each can
quietly sleep his long last sleep among
his fellows without fear Of molestation
or outside infringement. In case q mar
should suddenly die who was a we'll
established member Of several of those
classes, it would appear as though it
might lead to a disagreeSble rivalry
and perplexity Ms to who would have
the best right and title to claim and
bury him in their exclusive plot, espe-
cislly where he had never expressed n
preference. In that case the strongest
party would probably win, but the man
would obviously be sure 10 be buried
in the wrong cemetery unless be were
inferred where all cornered together.
