SAPPHIRE QUARTZ MtLL.-This mill Is
next below the Rhode Island and like It, a
thoroughly substantial and well built MILL
1t was erected in the winter Of 1861 and 81,
and has been running successfully ever since.
There has been no expense incurred during
the time that this mill has been IN operation
nv brcakagcS. The machinery all being or
the first order, and put up BY one of the best
Of workmen, has run steadily and regularly
TO the present time, crushing 80 tons per
week. II has an engine of 30 horse power,
Ii stamps. 30 four feet pans, using II inches
of water per day. Their water Is obtained
from dam which they have constructed Just
above the mill This water, although not
as clear as the Virginia water, answered
their purpose very well The mill consumes
Il cords Of wood per day No one ever pass
Is this mill, without noticing the perfect re-
rularitv of its machinery, every stamp fall
ing with perfect precision keeping exact and
perfect time. 1t is decidedly measurable 10
listen to the music of these mills, especially,
when we know that every stroke OF the pom

THE PRIDE OF YIRGISIA.-This claim, To-
Gated in May, 1863, is situated on what is
known as Virginia Hill, is being proSpected
with considerable energy BY its owners, with
every prospect of success. They have had
an incline run 10 depth of eighty feet, in
order to ascertain the precise locality OF the
ledge, which they discovered at that depth
and run drift on it twenty-thrce feet IN
length-whcre they found deposit OF ore
that ASSAYS as high as one hundred dollars
" the ton. They now intend to sink 4 dou-
Die shaft about fifty feet to the southeast OF
the incline, for the purpose of striking the
ieaze fifty feet from the surface when they
will, doubtless, obtain some good ore-that
is, if we NAV Judge from the specimens be-
fore us obtained as we have above described.
We hope they may not be disappointed, as
all the members of this company are honest,
industrious, laboring meu.-B"ttet'n.

the lead at a depth of so feet. Nlnety-hve

rock. This ledge is eight feet in width, and
the average assay of the groupings Is Sf3.
