THE BALL LAST NIGHT

THE BALL LAST NIGHr.-The ball
given by the Sold Hill Miners Union
last evening was the liveliest and best
attended Of any We have seen tor a
long time. The spacious hall needed
to be twice Its size 10 give all q chance
TO dance with plenty Of ROOM. Many
ladies and gentlemen were present
from Virginia, the music was by Russ
Ingraham, Professor Varney, File
brown and others, the floor wa car
.pcted with canvass, and everything
passed on as smoothly as anyone
ought to wish. We had the happiness
OF being present and had a good time.
We danced all the quadrilles we could
find and let the rest do the round
dances. Young Buxton from Flow
cry was the best dressed gen.
tleman In the hall by n long
odds. He had his hair done up
in shiver-de-freeze style, with poma-
tum dressing. His new p~ound-cake-
colored coat with skirts cut biased,
beaded velvet crupper, boiled shirt,
bottle-green pants and charlotte russo
necItie were the envy Of all the gen.
tlemen and the delight Of the ladies,
to say nothing OF his splendid Arizona
diamond breastpin. Everybody pres
ent will agree with us in our judgmat-
jcal description. We will leave to a
certain depraved and remorseless Jen-
kIns from Virginia. whom we saw
present. to draw the aggravating COM
parison between young Buxton and
those who were too poor Z dress equally
gorgeous. 1t was not a ball, however,
where everybody went to get their
rigging described, but to have a good,
sociabfe, agreeable time. And they
had Il, many not leaving the gay and
festive scene until about daylight. We
congratulate the Union on the success
of their ball.

NJ, to-day, VIM. Brown, n miner in
the Crown Point mine, met with quite

ON the l2OO-foot level. and needing
some timbers went to the shute where
the timbers are slid down from the
ll0O-foot level to the 200, and rang a
bell at the station above to let the men
there know what kind aud how many
nieces of timber he wanted, and then
stspped back into the drift out OF the
way while the timbers were being slid
down. He appears to have waited un-
ell the first piece came down, which
lodged across the mouth OF the shute,
and then from some cause or other at
TEMPTED to cross over to the opposite
side, when a piece Of timber shooting
down from above, struck him, knock
ing him down, d~islocating the All,
kls joint of the right foot, and
otherwise bruising him. He was taken
to tho surface, and from there to his
residence, on South e street, virginia,
