out" has been an everyday eApressIoh, dP-
piled to one lode after another, as they failed
to proye remunerative investments at 500
ner foot. The last roorback of this descrip-
ton is the Santiago mine Of Devils Gate
District, which we happen to know has NOT
'petered out" but is an excellent mine, as
we shall undertake to show in few days.
"Petered out" is favorite expression with
the 'bears," and with persons VINO nave
made flying trip to this Territory, and, not
withsta aiding the fact that they knew " SO
much more about mines and mining tnan our
old miners, were nevertheless taken IN oy
them 70 the time of a few hundreds or thou
sands Yet work goes steadily goes on.
Parties NJ nrospectors are fitted out, and the
resnl,s Of their explorations are new and ex-
tensiye mining districts. Every month new
and rich strikes are made and claims hereto
fore considered wildcat" come into the
market at good prices, and our shipments Of
bullion go on increasing from month to
month. The Mary Ann, Belcher and Uncle
Sam mines are instances of the former, and
the fact that our shipments Of bullion a
present rates exceeds one million per month,
IS proof of the latter. Croakers may 60 on
CRYING ''petered out" in speaking OF our
mines, bnt so long as they continue to peter
out" the gold and silver bullion at present
rates, We shall not fear for their future.
Struck 1T R1cH.-We were shown to-day
bv C. T. Beckwith, Esq, Superintendent Of
the Consolidated Company No. l, in Gold
Hill proper, some magnificent specimens Of
rock taken from that claim. The company
commenced sinking their shaft last Spring,
and at depth of $50 feet commenced drift
ing toward the ledge, which they struck last
Tuesday at a distance Of LIS feet from the
bottom of the shaft. The ledge at that point
is about twenty feet wide. The specimens
we saw were taken out last night, and Mr..
Beckwith SAYS that there is plenty more Of
the same sort of rock.

New RoAD.-From teamster, who ar

sidering the late storms.
FANCY ED1FIcE.-The Tunnel Company
have erected over their air shaft, structure,
which owing to our deficient knowledge of
architecture we are unable to describe scien-
