SUNRISE CoMrAxY.-This claim was 10

SUNRISE CONPASY.-ThiS claim was To-
Gated about eighteen months ago on the front
ledge of Gold Hill. The Company has not
been hampered by litigation, like many claims
in this District, bu: has been carrying its
operations steadily forward. They formerly
worked their ledge through an incline, but
were driven out by water. y short time ago
the Company purchased lot south OF the
Crown Point Mill, and commenced sinking a
shaft. which is now down - feet. There is
one feature about their shaft that differs in
some respects from similar work of most other
companies. 1t mas only two apartments,
which are of much larger size than common,
while most companies have shaft with three
apartments, but OF smaller size, one for
pump and two for hosting purposes. This
Company design one apartment for pump
and one for hosting, therby saving con-
siderable expense in sinking their shaft, and
also when erecting machinery while, at the
same time, their shaft is roomy and conye-
nien;.
RoRR1SGA GRAvE-YAED.-Our Town Sex
ton, Mr.. Hamln, informs US that some sac
religious thieves have actually entered the
town cemetery upon several occasions within
a few months and stolen the ropes, shovelS
and picks which he uses to bury the dead
with Now, We consider this "p!ling It on
rather too heavy. Our community, TO 4 linn
tied extent can tolerate the pickpoc&et, the
burglar, the footpad and the highwayman,
but they will not tolerate the yagabondS who
will rob their graveyard. The prospect
orS who, a few days ago, were seen to steal
those shoyels and ropes at the cemetery, had
better return them, or we shall feel bound to
publish their names as graveyard thieves,
SO that the finger Of public scorn may be
pointed at them-that they may be the Jeer
and Scorn Of the town, and that " thief viii
asSail their ears whenever they presume TO
poke their faces into the society of men. y
graveyard thief! horrible, most horrible
UNION MrLL.-This is an eight-stamp
mill situated in the lower part OF the town Of
Gold Hill. 1t has been built about two
wears, and last fall underwent thorough re-
pairs. The machinery is propelled by dou-
bic engine OF 20-horSe power. 10 run this
engine a hours, requires about q cords OF
wood, and in that time the mill will on an
average, crush tons of rock. The mill con-
tainS ten fye-fOot and two siN-foot amalga-
mating pans. The order and arrangement
of the interior of this mill, recommend 1t to
the notice of claim owners.
WHITE House Co.-This is claim Of
1000 feet, located in this District about
wear ago. This company have an incline on
their claim, about forty rods west of the
z, I. Mill, which is now down about go feet.

but no well defined ledge. The developments
made. however, have enabled them to determ-
inc very nearly where their ledge lies Next
week the Company intend 10 commence sink
ing shaft directly on their ledge.
IMPERIAL MILL.-The sight of hhy-6ve
pans grating and grinding out the "root of
all evil'' from the diseolored pulp, proves
the capacity with which some of our mines
are giving out" 1t is the intention of this
company, we learn, TO remove soon the How
land batteries, and erect in their stead the
old fashioned cam shaft battery. 1t will be
necessary to strip the mill in order to build
the firm foundation required TO support these
batteries.
A CHANGE.-Last night, while most peo-
pie were enjoying "nature's sweet restorer,
balmy sleep" terrific wind arose, and it
was believed, and hoped, by those on the

last, but the heavens wouldn't open. And
when "rosy fingered morning, born of Au-
rora appeared" the sun shone brightly as
ever, the air was cooler, and the dust as bad
as ever.
KEYSTONE. This company's claim of
twelve hundred feet was located in the fall
of 80. 1t is situated south Of the Uncle
