GIANT PowDER.-Experiments re-
Gently made with this famous explosive,
ut tho Sierra Nevada mine, by General
Van Bokkelen, and T. F. Smith, Super
intendent, demonstrates the fact that it
can be used to good advantage, even in
the surface workings Of that mine.
Holes were sunk to the depth of IL to Is
feet, and a light charge of Giant pow
der, without tamping, placed in the bot
tom, on exploding which, a large basin
was formed-the Giant powder acting
with its greatest force downwards when
no tamping is used. After exploding
the light charge Of Giant powder in the
bottom Of the hole, to form a sufficient
cavity, n keg Of common blasting pow
der was poured down, and the hole
tightly tamped with sand. Charges
thus put in did immense execution,
throwing out tons upon tons oil ore.
The VELoCrPEDE COCKTAIL = At

New ARRAXGEMENr.-0n and after the

u new arrangement will be mado wherc-
by mails and passengers are to leave
San Francisco at I o'clock A. II. and ar
rive Mt Reno at I o'clock p. M.-l2
| hours from San Francisco. From Reno
the daily papers. letters and express
matter will be run through to Virginia,
per blackboard, in q little over au hour.
| This certainly will be a most IN
dating arrangement, bringing San Fran
cisco some hours nearer than at present.
GOULD & CURRy.-It will he n couple
! of weeks or more before the TWO I'M
finished compartments Of the shaft are
| sunk dawn to the depth of the other
| compartments, which is l,l6' feet
| below the level of ID street. When this
is done, and all requisite timbering
flushed, sinking NJ the bottom OF the
shaft will be resumed. We understand
that it is the present intention of the
| Company, when % feet deeper is at
,Iiurd, To commence n station ut that
poin, and drift east for developments.
GorxG TO NIAGARA FALLs.-Master
August Sicsrist, whose wonderful
riding with u velocipede On a wire sus-
pended nigh in the air, will surprise
the people of this section at Piper's
Opera House tonight and tomorrow
night, will 20 from here direct to the ia
nous Niagara Falls, where he will per-
form his terrific feat On a much larger
scale, by passing over the great falls on
a wire with his yelocipedc. Prepare
tons are already being made for that
purpose.
IupgEIAL-EMPIgE.-The shaft is Ills
feet deep to-day, and sinking deeper
actively being prosecuted. No increase
of water encountered. Only barren
quartz ard ~porphyry encountered in
the l,0S0-foot level. Further pros
pectiug at the l,O0O-foot level is aband-
oued rs useless, and both companies
are pushing the drift south rs fast as
possible. They have nearly 200 feet to
run in order to reach the Holmes
ground, belonging to the Imperial Com
pany.
SAxrrARY.-Charley Barstow, who is
just in from White Pine, says Briar has
20 keep big holes cut in his boots for
ventilation purposes, otherwise those
h. f.o, ,-n,ll sttHa N INnth in thar
own atmosphere. He had to keep them
~blsnketed like livery horses all winter,
in order to keep them from freezing,
and the only way he dressed up for an
evening party was to take the blankets
of and go in his bare boots Whew!
PgEcARIous.-Fears were entertained
last evening that Mrs. Cutler, the lady
who was so badly injured by being
thrown from n buggy on South G street,
Virginia, would not survive. She had
partially recovered her senses, but her
mind wandered ut times. In addition
to the severe conclusion of the brain,
hor nervous system received n very Sc
we're shock, aided by her delicate condi-
ton at the time Of the accident.
DAYTON NAIL SrAGE.-The United
States mail is carried every morning
by the Dayton stage, which leaves
Virginia at s! o'clock. The afternoon
stage leaves Virginia at q o'clock.
Passengers, take particular notice.
Jake White, so long and %favorably
known on the Virginia and Gold Hill
omnibus line, is the driver.
RIPE CURRANrs.-Fresh ripe currants,
rs we'll rs g~ooseberries raspberries,
strawberries and similar desirable fruit
productions, are now plenty in onr mar
kets; apricots and peaches will appear
soon. I'VE are indebted to California
for all these good things, rs our bushes
have not got to bearing just yet.
BAD RoAps.-In consequence OF the
present stormy weather, the roads every
where are getting in pretty bad con.
di,iop. The road between Reno and
Virginia is said to be worse now than
i, was any. time last winter, conse-
o~ucntly the stages arrive every evening
