H EVENING NEWS


ployed at the south hosting works Of
tho Yellow Jacket mine, while fixing a
water pipe on Saturday afternoon, at
the tank situated on top Of the high
stone wall at the rear o. the building,
BY the slipping of his foot had the mis-
fortune to fall from the tank and to the
bottom Of the wall, next to the build
ing. A man standing near caught hold
Of him just as he fell from the tank and
al he was going over the wall, but he
could not hold him. Mr.. Jocelyn had u
straight fall Of % feet, striking with
terrific force on his left side. His loft
arm was broken just below the wrist
and he received some very severe con-
tusions about the hip and ribs. He was
taken to the National Hotel, Main street,
where he now lies under the care of DR..
Zabriskie. He is pretty severely hurt,
and will probably be laid up for ONT
weeks. Ii is difficult to conceive how II
man could fall in that place and not be
killed outright. Jocelyu must be CON-
posed Of pretty durable material.
The Twin MISE.-The Twin mine,
formerly known as the Pride OF the
West, is situated at the upper end OF
Silver City, and its mos, recent develop
ments 20 to prove it one of the most
promising mines in this section of the
country. The tunnel, run nearly on a
level with Gold Canyon, developed a
good-sized vein Of excellent ore, but it
was correctly considered that BY sinking
deeper still better ore would be found,
The company accordingly put a little
donkey engine into their tunnel, 200
feet from the surface, and by this means
were enabled to sink m incline at that
point 200 feet deeper, following the
vein. They encountered considerable
water, but the ore taken from the in
cline while sinking it paid all expenses
Of the work. They have now got their
mine pretty well opened, and will soon
DO able to extract goodly quantities OF
pay ore. The future prospects Of the
Twin niue are very fattering.
WHITE PINE IrENs.-Parties just in
from White Pine speak of the roads as
being in excellent condition, and the
weather 6ne, especially ut Hamilton and
Shermantown. Up At Treasure City,
however, the weather is clear, sharp
and cold. The snow. when they left,
was from FIVE to ten inches deep at Ham,
iltou, and from one to three feet deep at
Treasure City. The road between those
two towns was better adapted for sled
ding than wheeling, although wagons
and all sorts Of vehicles passed up and
down it with tho greatest facility. The
entire road between Austin and Hamil-
ton was lined with teams, and the tide
of emigration thither from all quarters
was stronger than ever, and evidently
on tho increase. Prospecting was not
INDUCED in very extensively, as far as
the real practical labor is concerned,
and everybody has claimst to sell.
OpERA HOUSE." Rip Van Winkle'
was repeated last evening to a very fair
house, and the piece passed oil even
better than on its FIRST presentation.
Mr.. Hcrus as Grip" fully ~substautiated
his claims as = favorite and good actor
in the estimation Of our critical theater-
goers. Mrs. Reach and Harry Hawk
succeeded admirably in their respective
roles, and Harrison did " bully" if we
may be pardoned the use Of n slang ex-
preston. The public are getting anxious
10 see Miss Lucille Western in some Of
her pieces. "Trip Van Wiukle' will be
repeated tonight for positively the last
time. The piece is an excellent one,
we'll calculated to please almost any
body. Those who have not yet seen 1t
should by all means embrace this last
chance Of doing so.
Coon IDEA.-A prospecting party
from Silver City which has recently
gone out to the White Pine region,
took with them a boring apparatus sim
liar to that used in artesiAn wells.
Sufficient pipe for boring TO a depth OF
so feet was taken along. Necessary
tools for keeping the bits Of the anger
in order were also provided, and the
party was entirely sanguins that this
mode Of prospecting in the soft lime
stone Of tho now district would prove q
perfect success. Three inches is the
capacity Of the auger, and we should
Judge that prospecting in this manner
could be quickly and ~cheaply done.
Nor So.-Thc report which was pub
lished in the Enterprise last Sunday, to
the effect that the water in the warm
springs, at the hotel near Carson, had
sunk at least two feet, is a mistake.
Lance Nightingale, the proprietor,
writes US u note TO that effect. Lance
y "The water is deeper now than
il has been for some time" The Enter
priss's informant must have got drunk in
Carson, and while going to the warm
springs must have fallen into one OF the
water bitches by the road-side-which
he took for the springs.
PRIVATE ScHooL.-We would call the
attention Of the many friends Of Mrs.
CASTOR to the fact that she has opened
. private school at her residence, for the
education of girls and boys, and we
earnestly hope her school will be well
attended, as she is n lady in every re-
spect, competent to do justice to her
patrons.
YEARLY BULLIoS.-During the past
yesr Of 1868, Wells, Fargo Il Co.
shipped from their Virginia office 3,9l2
bars of bullion, valued at Sc, $50, 1872 %.
This OF course includes a large proper
ton Of bullion from Gold Hill, which
passes through that office.
SxArISG.-The skating on Washoe
Lake is splendid Mt the present time
the ice being in the finest order imag'n-
able for that purpose. The skating
rink at the north end OF Virginia is also
in good FIX and well ~patronized.
ELxo.-The population of this new
town is set down as being, ut the pres
emit time, $50. 1t will doubtless he q
lively place mex, spring, when the grand
