ARsIvED.-The Ways and Means Com
mittes Of the United States House Of
Representatives, who have been on the
Pacific coast for the last month, and
consisting of Messrs Kelley, Allison,
Hooper, Maynard, Brooks, Marshal. and
one or two others, arrived in Cola Hill
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
party stopped at the Office Of The Yell
low Jackes Mining Company for aoout
half an hour, and psrtook of refresh
ments, when they proceeded to the resi-.
dence Of William Sharon, Esq, in Vir-
giuia City, where a most s%umptuous din-
ner had been prepared for them. A
number of invited guests, among them
several member Of the press, and Sena-
tor Stewart, sat down with the dis
tiuguished visitors Mr. Sharon, the
host of the house, doing the honors Of
the head of the table. After the re-
moval of the cloth, quite n number Of
sentiments were offered, and re-
spousirs speeches made = among the
most eloquent Of which was
one from Sharon himself, and
which was full Of pathos, poetical quot
atoms, statistical information, and q
grand peroration on the brilliant future
Of Nevada. 1t was, in fact, the speech
Of the evening, aud took the whole COM
pany by surprise, as Sharon really does
not pretend to be al orator. We only
regret that our limited space for6ids our
publishing several columns of it. Mr..
Kelly also made some very forcible and
pointed remarks in reply to a sentiment
given by Hon. G. j. Hillyer. Rather
late in the evening, after the couyivial-
tiles of the occasion had ended, a splen-
did brass band d~iscoursed most delicious
music in honor OF the oecasion-the
musicians, in order to avoid the gather.
ing Of q vulgar crowd in front OF
Sharon's mansion on b street, having
stationed themselves up On Howard
street. The Ways and Means Commit
tee were well pleased with their visit.
This morning at 8 o'clock, they all wen,
down into the Yellow Jacket mine,
whore they remained for an hour and u
half and when they came up out OF the
mine they blowed and sweated like
fury-having been down 900 feet-and
they were glad to see daylight again.
They left for Reno at noon to-day.
A DIscouaAoED White PrSER.-Alet
ter was received a day or two since by
q well known mining superintendent a!
the south end Of the Comstock, from an
old Gold Hill miner, now u wandering
n~rospector and unlucky operator in the
White Pine region. We are kiadly per
mitted to make the following dolefnlex X
tract from it: "There are only hs'
lodges in the whole White Pine coun
try, and these are tho Eberhardt, HID
den Treasure, California, California
East, and Aurora. / have travelled tbs
country all over, and p~rospeeted /
thoroughly for miles around. There are
hundreds of men who wish they were
out of here, Same as | do. Excuse my
boldness in writing to you, but an
hard up, and will you please write anc
let me know how times are at Gold Hi
and If there is a chance to get employ
ment 2" Now, that question is yer.
easily a~nswerable by the simple wore
YES. If be is q good miner, or any sor
Of energetic and enterprising man, h
need starve in either Gold Hill o
virgins for want Of employment.
