The Bining ——e and Scientific Press, Tue Pnorrarations.—The time for the opening of the Fifth Exhibition of the Mechanics’ Institute of this eity is repidly approuching. ‘The exhibition will open in two weeks feom Thursday next—the 1Uth day of August, at 10 o'clock, A. M. In the mean tite persons intending to contribute to the same should lose no tiine in making their preparations. Space will be allotted to the exhibitors who have applied for the snine on or before tte 2d of August; by which time tho pieture gallery will be ready for the reception of pictures. The motive power will be provided by two steam engines and a caloricengine. ‘Thestatae of Lincoln, by Mezzstra, will ‘oeeupy the eenter of the area beneath the doine. ‘This statne, hein placed on a pedestal several feet in hight, wilt be somewhat larger than life, aud will forin one of the most approprizte and imposing features of the oxhibition. he Old Folks’ Kitchen, which has attracted so much attention in late Eastern exhibitioos, of similar churaeter, will form a leading feutare here. Swain & Brown are romodeling the restaurant and promise to uiake it a pleasant retreat. No time should be lost by those inteoding to apply for space to file their applicationa. Sa Socirty.—The pleasure of society depends more upon females than upon mon, Gentlemen expect to be entertained, children are out of the question, and therefore it rests upon woien what society shull be. he pleasure of an evening's entertainment is graduated by the capacity of the hostess to interest her visitors in each other, and make them forget that thetr own identity is to be lost in the efforts to make every one at ease, ‘T'liis is the great seeret of true enjoymeut. Some ladies will enter a drawiug-rooni or social circle, where every person's neighbor appears like an iceberg, and the whole atmosphere is chilly and eonstraited, and by their genial nature and well timed playfuluess, throw sinshine and warmth all over the the rooni. till all commtingle in that easy and yet dignified cordiulity that ever characterizes true gentility. The Sheba Mine Report. To the Shareholders of the Sheba Gold and Silver Mining Company. Your Commlitee on mince and mill, under Instruetlons to puhlish thelr Gndings, respectfully report that they bave passod eighteen duys iu tho discharge of their duty, ani that they thoroughly examined the property and investigated the atfuirs of the company in Star district, Humboldtcouuty, Nevada. Wo lind that Mr. Rule, who has charge of tho miug, at a point four huudred fect from the mouth of the tuuncl, diseovered a pay seam, upon which he has drifted oue hundred and filty feet, it coutinuing the onlire distance This seam, wheu discovered, was exceedfugly narrow, but has gradually widened, and although it yiclls but a small quantity of oro daily, gives promise of a rich reward lo its progress,us auy duy the chiinney—the croppings of which (eouuuniug ore extuhit themsely es five huudred feet above, may he siruck 5 and that is the poiut Mr. Rule has been running fur the past three mouths. This pay lead Is well defined hy erossings,and is almost vertical, and gives great promiso of au abuudauco of ore of valu’ The mine Is heing developed with the strictest economy, the total expense heing about fifteen hundred dollars per month, We find that from 125 to 150 tous of ore, worth $150 por toa, has been exeavated, aud that as much more is aceessable, but of an Inferior quality. Tho ore in the north drifl in the regular pay seam uboye arich charactr, We hetievo tho indications for a well defined lode at that poiat could not he hetier, and we would suggest the shareholders to stand by Mr. Rule in pushing that drift forward. The Commitice disapprove of stars ing the mill ou the oes exciv.tel until the work progresses lo a puint entirely Independent of the disturbed portion of the moontaia, when we enn with more certainty determine whether or nut the inill eim he kept const.ntly reuubiig. This, also. in view of the fact thita large outJay of money will le required to start up the init, as tbe Toil-workmen Mist bo transported from remote paiits at a largo expense to them. Bvi fly, we heheve, we lave now & geod and perm ipent mine, aud that if the shareholders advertised as delinqueut would inspuct the property, their Dames woull not so uppear, We must herestate, that the work of forwarding tho uortb drift to the desired point cannot be prosecuted much loager unless the deliuqnent nssessmvnts are atoneo pald, as large sums are duc the Workmou for their lehar, who lave only labored so long and taithlally, ag they. assert, bulicving ‘the mine will soun be in suecesstul operation, But if the assessments now advertised as deliuqucnt, are not paid, they will work no longer. They wnst aod should cecelye gome nioucy to enable them ta continuo tovlevelop the mine, 4 the complaints of the large amonut of assossmeuts tbat have heen lovicd, white reulizing that fiet ourselves, we fiud thut large sums were neeexsury in the opening of thls mine, aud helinvo if the Sheha mine was located near Virgiuia City mueb larger sums would have been cheerfully expended in Its dovelupment, if found veeessary. We fiud the managemcut at the mino execlleut, and if tho delinquent sharcholders will pay up, there would remaiu eightor uine thousaad dollars after the paymeut of all the indebteduers, aud we believe no further assessment would bo required to enable Mr. Rulo to Rnish his present work. We lind the mill will require the expeudituie of 4 small Bum of inouey to rendér it the best mill in the State. A watchman is employed te look after the mill and furnaces and the stores, consisting of mill and mine materials sulGeient for over six montns. The books aud aceouuts of the olfecrs are well arranged, and, we are satisfiod, are in proper bands. fu conclusion, we would state that the present depres: sion of the s.ock is in no wise owing to the condition of our alfairs at S'ar City. Lot these purtics who placed an jujunctiou on certain of the stock remove the same, the other stock carrying two or three assessments would be at onee frec!, and with (be cousequent healthy condition of tho fnances the merits of tho mine would rapidly advayce tho stock to its proper figure.
