MEV ING INTELLIGENCE.

The Humboldt Company. of Nevada will shortly
be offered to the public on very favourable terms.
The mine is an extension of the Tullulah lodes,
which perhaps carried as good a guarantee as any
mine ever offered in England. The position of this
property is singularly favourable, being within thr,,e
miles of the Union Pacific Railway, on which gangs of
men are now at work in laying the rails along
the Ilumbolt. If our information be correct, the
vendor will not receive a penny for the mine until
all who subscribe for shares receive back from the
profit the full amount paid up, with 10 per cent.
interest, when they will retain the shares and re-
turn the bonds to be issued with them. If this can
be carried out the shares will actually be given
away, no person having paid any thing on the pro-
perty except the original outlay by the vendor.
He certainly shows strong faith in its productive
powers, as he gives but three years for the share-
holders to receive back the sum advanced, and his
calculation is that this will be accomplished in two
years. The adjoining property, held by a company
named the Essex, formed in New York, working
the same lodes, has proved a great success. Their
mill is completed, and they are turning out large
quantities of ore.

The shipments of bullion for January from Aus-
tin, Nevada, were expected to exceed $200,000.
Although winter had set in before the middle of
January, the mines being prepared, have carried on
their work. The stages of both the local and over-
laud lines keep regular time ; the teams work regu-
larly, salt being the only difficult thing to procure,
so winter does not much retard work in Nevada.
Nearly 4,000 ounces of crude bullion have been
brought into Austin from Rigby's Mill at San An-
tonio. A lot of about 3,000 ounces was sent from
the mill on the Bth inst. In proportion to its capa-
city it is the most productive mill in the country.
It was designed for prospecting, and has a battery
of four stamps, each weighing 450 pounds, one
roasting furnace, and one pan. Under the able
management of Mr. Rigby the little affair is of
quite as much account as an ordinary ten-stamp mill.
The bullion produced is obtained from ore of the
Liberty Mine, which is the valuable property of
Mr. Rigby's company.
The Reese River Reveille gives the following ac-
count :—" It is likely that before the close of the
present year the property of the Centenary Com-
pany will yield substantial and welcome dividends
to its stockholders. Newark district, in which the
property is situated, is in Lander County, about 90
miles east from Austin, and is undeveloped beyond
the possessions of the Centenary Company. It owns
seven distinct locations, namely, the Chihuahua, of
1,600 feet, with an extension of 1,400 feet; Buck-
eye, 1,600 feet, with an extension of 1,100 feet;
Lincoln, 1,600 feet ; Washington, 1,600 feet ; and
Indian Jim, 1,600 feet ; forming an aggregate of

10,800 feet of valuable mining ground. The prin-
cipal work has been expended upon the Chihuahua
ledge, whieli has been opened to the depth of about
300 feet. Three levels have been run to consider-
able lengths, two of which have been connected by
a wiuze. Besides the main opening there is a shaft
75 feet deep. In these different works a large,
well-defined, and permanent vein, in which not a
single break occurs, is exhibited. Up to the pre-
sent time fully 1,000 tons of ore have been extracted
from the Chihuahua mine, obtained chiefly from the
croppings and the levels. Yet the supply from these
sources is not exhausted, but there is a considerable
quantity of ore within reach of the stopers. In the
level which extends from the shaft, the fine vein is 11
feet thick, and carries generally a good quality of
milling ore. Extraordinary specimens of rich ore
have been producel by the mine, the choicest of
which yielded by assay at the rate of $B,OOO per ton.
The next important work is upon the Lincoln, wh'e't
has been opened by a tunnel 125 feet long, disclos-
ing a compact though relatively small vein the en-

tire distance. Several hundred tons of ore have
been taken from the croppings of the mine ; the
whole lies on the dump waiting the demands of
the mill. The superficial indications of other

locations are of a very promising character, but
time is required to develope them. Newark district
is an isolated position, far from the centre of sup-
plies, and the company has altogether achieved a
great work. In a fraction of a year it not only
built a superior twenty-stamp mill, but did much
towards opening two important mines. The mill
is pronounc,d to be oue of the most complete struc-
tures of the kind in the State, which is saying a
great deal. The main building is 136 feet long by
60 feet wide, to which there are two wings—one of
which is 132 feet long, and contains the roasting
furnaces, and the other the engine and boiler. These
good results are due, in a great measure, to the
executive ability of J. W. Bailey, the General Su-
perintendent, whose zeal and perseverance in pro-
moting the interests of the company are unflag-
ging. Mr. Bailey regards himself as particularly
fortunate in having secured the services of
men of the first class in their several depart-
ments. To the experience and mechanical skill
of the builder, G. P. Griffin, the company is chiefly
indebted for its superb mill ; and its successful re-
duction of ores may be fairly attributed to the clever
manipulation of the foreman, Mr. Collier, who has
repeatedly liberated and saved 90 per cent. of the
silver contained in the ore. Mr. Collier sent three
considerable lots of bullion from the mill during the
past month. The mines of the company are under
the management of Robert Hanegan, well and fa-
vourably known in California and in Washoe as a
thorough practical miner. We have been informed

that with all these advantages the operations of the
company are likely to be temporarily suspended, at
least so far as the production of bullion is concerned•

They have a present supply of salt for about thirty
days only, and unless it can be increased the will
may be closed for several months. A similar want
at present controls the movements of two important
mills in the immediate district.
