Rock POINT MILL-We made vCStcrdaya
passing visit to the Rock Point Mill, on the
Carson River, but had not time to nuke As
extended an inspection of the establishment
rs we would have been been pleased 10 have
done. This mill i the property OF the I'm,
prrinl Silver Mining Co. of this place, and
i exclusively occupied in grinding quartz
from the complny'S mine, on Gold Hill
propcr. The capacity OF the mill, We were
informed, is greater than that of any other
mill in the Territory. The superintendent,
Mr. King stated the average amount OF rock
crushed per month 10 III lHllNN-'l -
tons. The motive power is water, driving
two wheels. 4 breast and centre discharge.
'Thxrr &c eight batteries OF five stamps
each. besides i Sockdolagcr for smashing
lar.cr lumpS of rock into fragments OF suit
able size for the batteries. The process OF
matchmaking i 4 peculiar one. comprising
many improvements. the inventions OF NlT.
Corey, the general Superintendent OF the hut
perial Compauv'S Works. Everything about
the works i Of the most substantial char-
actcr; strength and durability being the OBJ
icct aimed at, instead of ornament, and by
The application Of machinery 10 every pos
siblc department, very few men are emf
ployca about the mill. Blanchard and Hardy,
of Gold Hill, have Z contract for the delivery
OF the rock from the mine, and when We WIS.,
tied the mill YESTERDAY there was surplus
of some five hundred tons on hand us re-
serve in event of broken axlcs. Besides this
extensive mill, the Imperial Co. have two
other large establishments; one IN town and
the other some distance below.

faith in their own efforts; and, by constant
onnIiratiou. have at last succeeded iii over
coming all difficulties. By their own labor
they SINK several shafts which proved worth
less before they found the ledge. But they
were not, rs many others have been, discour-
aged, but when their funds gave out both OF
them would 90 and work by the day until
they obtained money enough to detray eNpen-
Scs for awhile; and thus they kept doing
until at last fortune favored them, and they
now have mine of GOO feet from which they
can take $4,000 pSr month by their own
labor. They have sunk shaft 10 the depth
of 40 fcct-all the way in pay rock. The
last Weld from 4j tons was S3,lil l6. They
work this rock only for the gold. The rock
