storm of last night and this morning the
sleighing in Virginia is excellent, and
would be here in Gold Hill also if Main
street had been . little smoother Blair,
with his bus sleigh, is doing - lively
business rushing passengers between
the W towns. A sleigh ride in u
driving snow storm is the very thing,
and if Blair ever knew how to tip q
sleigh over with 4 full load, he might
have a chance to hunt up II big snow
drift for that purpose from the present
promise of the weather. The snow is
six or eight inches deep already, and
more coming.
MINERS UNION BALL.-The ball of the
Virginia Miners Union, last evening, at
Athletic Hall, was very well attended,
Notwithstanding tho disagreeably in
element weather, and it was a decided
success in every respect. The hall was
well filled, and would have been I'M
comfortably SO if the weather had been
propitious. As it was, many were pres
emit from Gold Hill. The hall was very
handsomely and tastcfully decorated
with flags, pictures, and appropriate
cmblcms, and the music WAS of the best.
The numerous participants all agree in
pronounciug it one of the best--if not
the very best-ball given this season.
INrpRIAL-EMpIRE.-The east clay wall
in the l,OOO-root level will be reached
tomorrow. At the !, lOO-foot level, tho
clay is being cut into to-day, and by tue
last Of this week the ledge itself will be
cut, when important developments may
be expected. The small streak Of good
ore found at the 900-foot level, Mt the
Alpha line, next TO the east clay wall,
was three or four feet wide ut the time
sinking upon il was discontinued, and
the prospects are that this good streak
will be found to belong to n larger body
of ore in the levels below.
REcovERED.-Ws met our friend
Frank Osbis,on, Secretary Of the Yellow
Jacket Mining Company, on the street
this morning. He has been out for the
last two or three days, having recovered
from his late severe illness sufficiently
so attend to the duties Of his Office once
more. His disease, as we have before
stated, was pneumonia, attended also
with a very light touch of %variolo'd,
having only about a couple OF dozen
pustnles upou his face and body. Frank
is all right now, or will be in a few
days.
MoRE Coon ORx.-A good body of en-
cellent orc was cut into this morning at
the 900. foot level Of the Yellow Jacket
mine, in the north drift, about $50 feet
from the shaft. How thick it is, will
soon be known but it is probably II
portion of the same good body OF ore
found ut the other portions OF tho same
level, and which is known to DO five or
six hundred feet in length. That afore-
said 9OO-foot level will yield we'll this
season, from present indications.
FREIGHT TO WHITE PISx..-The pack
train we made mention Of yesterday as
starting out from Virginia, for HamlI-
ton, with freight for Feusisr 4 Co., took
i, at III cents per pound. That was
Yesterday; but owing to the increased
difficulty Of sage-brush navigation Gre
a,cd by the storm Of last night and
to-day, the chances are that n higher
nricc would be charged. Freight by OK
or mul. teams is - to 20 cents per
pound, variable, Of course, with the
weather.
SNALL-rox.-The Enterprise OF this
morning says tho smallpox has taken n
fresh start in Virginia, eight new cases
being reported there yesterday. In
Gold Hill we have no fresh cases to re-
port to-day. The little girl ut a hotel
up town, of which We made mention q
day or two since as having the vario-
loid, has recovered and there are now
five cases in all in this town.
