New Quartz MILL.-The Grass Val
ey Telegraph gives an interesting accounts
OF the new mill of the Helvetia and La
fayette Gold Mining Company, near that
place. This mill is built at large ex-
pense and contains variety of new and
useful improvements. 1t contains two
batteries of nine stamps each, each stamp
weighing $50 pounds; the whole driven
by an engine of twenty-five horse power
The mouth of the main shaft is directly in
front Of the batteries, SO that the ore can
be raised and supplied directly to the fee
ders. By ingenious arrangements, in the
location of the mill upon the lead and the
application ofthe power of a single en-.
glne to their whole work, they will save in
their expenses the sum of $4,000 annu-
ally.
