FAILS Mill keeps up its constant thud,
thud, night and day: jim Vance has rig
gcd whistle to the steam apparatus, and
gives Shrek on it every six hours-wak-
ing echoes along the canon very different
from the echo that dwclt among the rocks
undisturbcd some few years ugo. The
wheel has been cncased with boards, so as
to prevent freezing up; and the waste
steam from the boiler is to be vented into
the wheclhouse-giving higher pitch to
temperature. 4 new rctort, weighing
1000 pounds, and with capacity Of 600
pounds, has been put in this week: This
mill is doing bravely, and all that is want
ed now Is plenty of ore: The boys in
ledges about say that they shall not want
for it and We look for good accounts this
Writer, from our Incompatible mines.
THE WIND bGs been still heavier at Star
than here: 4 great many houses have
been blown down or otherwise damaged,
during the winter: The other day, the
gable end of house was blown in on the
family there residing. The man of the
house was not hurt, but his wife was bu-
ricd i'll the adobes and rubbish, and he
had harder time of getting her than he
had at first, probably. Fortunately she
was worked out in short time, and
found but slightly hurt and not much
frightened.
GEN OF SIEnnA.-Four tons of orc from
this ledge, crushed at Falls mill this week
not melted in time to give the exact value,
turued out over four hundred pound of
amalgam. Those who are posted say it
will go as high as $500 to the ton, silver.
THE WEATHER this week has been beau
ticul-exhilcrating as in May, with dash
of the dreamy haze of Indian Summer
fine as ever Eden enjoyed, |. fore Uncle
Eve nibblcd that crab apple and raised
Cain and let He'll out.
CoYoTES come O. nights to the suburbs,
and make more noise than four hundred
blear-cyed pups by full moon. They arc
awful nuisance, and ought to be suspend
cd with the habedS corpus.
NEvADA.-This company, on the Peru
ledge, is making the mountains resonant
of artificial thunder, blasting out the
stubborn strata which bar the way to the
silver ledge.
SmEBA.-By the stock accounts we OBJ
serve that this stock is going slowly up.
The price per share has never yet been to
the real worth-or near it.
CAysDA.-This company, holding III
Trinity District, proposes commencing

the ledge.
MrxxEsorA.-ThrcG tons of qnartz
from this ledge, worked dt Falls mill this
