STARTED Ur. The new hosting
works OF tho Ophir mino were started
up yesterday afternoon in the presence
Of an immense Of spectators.
AMI several loads Of rock were hoisted
from tho lowest levels OF the mine.
The rock was nearly all confscatei for
specimens by the spectators, many ~
whom could hardly believe their own
eyes, so hard was II for them to believe
that il wa possible for such works To
10 completed in tho unprecedently short
space Of thirty days from the time Of
the great fire. That such is the Gaze.
reflects the very highest credit ON
Superintendent Curtis and the gentle
men employed 10y him 10 construct the
works. These gentlemen are i. 4.
Thompson. architect. and his foreman,
Mr. Saikold. Through their untiring
energy. an amount Of work has boon
accomplished in the short space Of thirty
days that mt tho time of the fro would
have been deemed Incredible. A fow
lays will have 10 10 spent In bailing
out the water that has accumulated in
th. mino before the extraction OF ore
can DO regularly resumed. tho exact
length Of time that will elapse not being
known at present. There Was n plenti-
iul spread Of the best wines and other
liquors nj the hosting works yesterday.
the merits Of which were discussed by
all those fortunate enough 10 be within
reach Of them.
BurLprSo TO Tnk LISE.-Thoso hav-
ing occasion to cross the Divide within
n day or two past. must have noticed a
house that has lately been moved on tho
cast side OF the road, and now stands
about twelve feet farther out ON the
street than any Of tho adjoining build
in,s. should q platform OF ten or
twelve feet be built In front OF II. there
viii be hardly enough room left in front
Oft to allow two teamsto pass the point
silo by side. We are given TO under-
stand that the house il built up to, but
no, beyond tho line Of tho street. III
sueh Is the case. ii would DO a good idea
TO have tho street opened to its fuil
width, for the accommodation OF h
public. As all know. only about hall
OF IL is graded out. the remaining half
being four or Ave feet higher than that
now used a. q road. AZ lota In that
part Of town are now quite aluabie
propcrty holders cannot DO expected to
ionats ten OF twelve feet Of them to tho
town. Considering that the permansn-
CIV OF Gold Hill and Virginia Is no long.
or problematical. would Il not DO well
for the Board Of Town Trustees to move
in tho matter Of grading out the street
referred TO.
LslyEs A wRoSo INPREssroS.-ln re-
ferriur to the matter Of building a new
Jail in Virginia, the Chronieis OF Wednes-
day. says the work should DO pushed
forward moro rapidly. considering the
horrible state OF affairs at the Gold Hill
prison, where our offenders are new
rontined;'' and ads: "The mainte-
nance OF prisoners at Gold Hill IL also
EXPENSIVE, siaos God I'm ehary,s rs one
ioihp per day for each p~riso",r." The
impression left by the lines italicized Is
that Gold Hill charges Virginia one dol
lar A day for the privilege Of lodging her
prisoners in our Jail; whereas, sueh is
NOT the case; the accommodation, sueh
AS il is, being given gratuitously. Had
Inc Chraic,e man read our item OF the
pr,yious day moro carefully he would
have seen that wc said. cit o costs
Virginia one dollar per day to Scird her
prisoners. while. were they kept at home.
The cost would DO but seventy-iive cents.
We hope the Ckroaicis will correct the
statement, NJ 1t places our Board oil
Town Trustees in a false position.
sxw PREiapr Dsror.-Ths old depot
OF the Virginia anil Truches Railroad at
Virginia was found to bs altogether too
small. and tho Company has therefore
purchased all the ground lying between
Union and Mill ard ID and L streets, ON
which will DO erected suitable buildings
for both passenger and freight dePots.
The ground IL now being graded out.
and suitable buildings will 10 erected
thereon ~ coon rs possible. Thefreigh'
depot will DO between sutton VENUE
ami the side-tmck running across MIL
strset TO Lonkey & smiths lumber yard.
Tina earth removed 10 being used IN
6lIinc The hollow to the north OF the
Consolidated Virginia hosting works.
wherc a yard for storing mining timbers
IL 10 DO made.
NoricK.-The Society OF Pacific Coast
Pioneers will hold u special meeting at
Ina house Of Monumental Engine Com.
pany No. G. on the Divide, on saturday
ito.morrow) evening at z O'Clock.
Business Of unusual importance will
come before tho meeting. therefore a

GOOD standing Is earnestly AMI parsioa-
larry requested.
