MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The Silver Bend Reporter says :—" Professor
Vincent, while here a few weeks since for the pur-
pose of examining and reporting upon the mines of
the Belmont Company in the interest of London
capitalists, selected about a ton of ore from the
dump of the Transylvania for the purpose of test-
ing its yield by a perfect process of working. We
learn by the Reveille that the ore was reduced at the
Keystone mill, and gave a pulp assay of $392 of sil-
ver per ton. The lot of ore was not closely assorted,
though it is not pretended that it is an average of
the ledge." Alluding to the South, it remarks,—
"that the bottom of the incline, 130 ft. from the
surface, a level has been run south along the lode.
This is now completed a distance of 30 ft., and dis-
closes an excellent quality of ore all the way, but at
the extremity just reached, it exceeds anything yet
found in the mine, and shows a large body of as
rich ore as has ever been raised from any mine in
this section. Upon this mine there has recently
been discovered a splendid body of chloride ore
upon the :main surface, about 200 ft. from the
main incline." The correspondent of the Wall-
Street Journal writes from Austin, 30th April :
The Stetefeldt Furnace does not seem to be very
generally sought after by mill men as yet; in fact,
it is seldom spoken of except by a certain few. Tne
Manhattan Company received their new shaft,
which has been placed in position, and the mill is
once more doing good work. The Combination Mill
sends iu bricks regularly, but it is said by the em-
ployes that many improvements must be made before
it can be considered a success. Belmont Company's
Mill is also mining and producing fair returns.
The EldJrado South is now supplying the mill
with ore. Tuffs company has attained the
depth of 135 feet, and is now running levels to
connect with another incline to secure pure air.
I presume this property will belong to English
capital before my next, and will- be worked vigor-
ously and systematically. Knickerbocker Mill of
lone sends in a few bars occasionally, but the mines
in that vicinity are not being pushed ahead with
any considerable energy. The greatest enterprise
is shown by the Hamilton Company, not in mining
exactly, but in the sale of handsome bands. I see
by the Court proceedings that a judgment has been
obtained against the Old Dominion Company at
Hot Creek for a very small amount. This pro-
bably will be the first of a series which will end by
a new company taking the property. Our shipment
for March was a little .over $200,000, and will in-
crease nearly every month during the year.
The Keystone Mill was totally destroyed by fire
April 6. It was situated a mile and a half from
Austin, and insured for $65,000, of which $35,000
falls on a London company. General Page, the
manager, was present shortly after the fire broke
out, but was unable, notwithstanding the efforts of
a hundred men, to heck the flames.
A. very rich lode has been discovered in the dis-
trict of White Pine, which has not inaptly been
named the Hidden Treasure. It is represented
to be from 15 feet to 25 feet wide, and containing
la stratum 5 feet thick of singular looking but very
rich ore. The unlikely stuff baffled the experience
and judgment of all the miners on the ground, who
saw no reason for believing that it contained even a
trace of silver. Samples of the ore were brought
to this city and assayed in different offices, and the
results ranged from $675 to $2,700 and $2,300 per
ton.

rADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
T hese highly-esteemed medicaments cannot betoo strongly
recommended for curing most of the maladies to which
humanity is heir. They aro as suitable for the child first
entering on the journey of life as for aged and infirm. The
ointment is a specific for the cuts, bruises, abrasions, and
eruptions often witnessed in the nursery ; and it is no less
efficient in healing up soundly and permanently the chronic
ulcers and bad legs which so often heap up misery on ad-
vanced years. By an early attention to the instructions
wrapped round each packet of ointment and pills any mo-
derately intelligent person may abridge or avert the dis-
comfort and misery of chronic ill-health.
LADVERTISEMENT.I—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Reva.enta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
ment of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies,
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional
regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We
extract a few out of 63,000 cures ;—" The Pope's health restored

DARTMOUTH.—Air. John Hardy, at present M.P. for
Dartmouth, will, we believe, in the event of that borough
being disfranchised, be invited to offer himself as a can-
didate in the Constitutional interest for Maidstone.
CARDIGAN.—The report which has found its way into
some of our contemporaries to the effect that Mr. Giffard,
Q.C., will at the next election come forward as a candi-
date for the representation of Cardigan Boroughs, is, we
believe, altogether premature, if not wholly incorrect--
Imperial Review.

CHESTER.-It has been recently rumoured in Chester
that Mr. W. H. Gladstone, one of the present members for
that city, will not offer himself for re-election at the
approaching dissolution of Parliament.

DUBLIN.-Sir Arthur Lee Guinness has consented that
he should be put in nomination in the Conservative
interest for the vacancy in the representation of Dublin.
