GOLD HILL AND VIRGINIA DIVIDE Co.
This company has a claim Of 1000 feet,
located on the Divide between this town and
Virginia. The claim was located about two
years ago, and the Company takes its name
from the situation Of its claim. 1t was loca-
ted BY Mr.. Robert Apple, on ledge which
lies parallel with the Gold Hill lodges, but TO
the west of them. Soon after the Company
was formed, it commenced work By running
4 cut through the top of the ledge, to ascer-
tain its position, and determine something of
It's quality and course. In February, 1858,
the Company commenced to sink shaft on
the east side of the ledge further down the
hill than where the cut was run. This shaft
is started from point on the southeast slope
of Mount Davidson, about twenty rods west
Of the CroeSus Company mining works.
The shaft has been sunk $50 feet, and is
1 BY feet in size in the clear. II Is tmocrcd
with two-inch plankS, down about 30 feet
from the top of the shaft. At this depth the
shaft comes into hard granite, which could
only be brought out by blasting. The shaft
of course in such 4 formation as this, does
not require the support OF sets Of tlmbcrs.
=
run to the north west. which is about ll5 feet
long. The first 10 feet which were run WIS
in hard rock, similar to that which was found
in the shaft, but after that, it came to 4 form
alton Of blue clay in which it has continued
all the way since. No large or well defined
ledge has vet been reached, but the Drift has
passed through strata OF quartz which Is o!
very good quality and from which some very
fine specimens have been taken. This IS a
very promising claim, and rs soon as tie
drift is run into the ledge, which probably WI
not be 4 great while, the company will un-
doubtcdly find good large rich ledge.

The OTHER M,EnERER.-Patrck Harvey,
brother 10 Martin, is yet in the Gold Hill
Station House, awaiting his fate as an Access
sorv to the murder of William Jones, On Fri
dav c, ening, At the Texas Tavern, Near the
Devils Gate Toulouse. The officers keep
him well handcUtFed and guarded, and he
viii cry likely receive his deserts from the
bands Of outraged justice-tO wit: the hang
mans moose for 4 crayat. We understood
this morning that Grand Jury will be en-
panncled without delay TO pass upon ais case.
Judge Robinson will take some action III the
morning on sending him up to the County
Jail. This Patrick Harvey is 4 tall, slender
built Irishman, perhaps forty years of age,
dirty, sandy-looking beard all over his fac,
brown hair, light blue eyes-and about rs
yiIlainous 4 countenance as we have seen IN
the country.
The FLEEING MuRDERER.-Up to noon
to-day, Martin Harvey, the cold-bloodcd muir
derer Of William Jones, was not vet arrested
and the presumption is that ifhe is not hid
away in some dark corner in the neighbour
hood, he is fleeing for his life over the noun
tainS towards California, or perhaps in the
direction ofthe Cariooo,minc where he came
from when he arrived here. The following
is description OF his person: He is about %
years of age, five feet eight inches in height,
sore ewes, and gray whiskers and moustaches,
part OF which he shaved off Immediately after
committing his hellish act Of murder. He is
an lrishman By birth, and was a seceSsionist
in Texas, from which place he skedaddled to
the Cariboo country. The people OF Silver City
have offered 4 reward Of three hundred dol
lars for his arrest, and we trust that by this
time the Governor has also offered a suitable
reward. Catch him catch him the cold
blooded villain.
SHARP PRACTicE.-A woman Of easy
,,,,,bi;,- in Viz
ginia yesterday and giving to the bar-keepcr
4 check on Wells, Fargo & Co. for 800, and
asked for 500 on it, with which to chuck "
at 4 game. She fought the tiger and lost
her hundred, when she asked for and obtained
another hundred this she likewise lost, also
another hundred, when she asked for the
last hundred with which she attacked the
tiger at another table where she was sue
ceSsful. She won back all she had lost and
something over. As she was leaving the
house it was discovered that the check was
not endorsed, and pen was procured for
her to sign it, when she suddenly Snatched
the check, and putting it in her pocket told
the people Of the house that they might all go
10 a very warm country which she named.
We have not heard that she was arrested.
AT WORK AGAIS.-The Belcher company
is at work in its shaft again. The water
which has been coming in so rapidly for
few days past, has, in some degree subsidized,
and is now easily kept out by the pump
This stream Of water was probably the one
which the Midas company has had to con-
tend with, for, when it was struck in the
Belcher shaft it nearly dried up the stream
which flowed into the Midas mine.
THE ELECTION To-Day for members of
the Board of Education is passing off very
quietly here, there being but one ticket in the
field, and Mcssrs. n. A. II. Ball and J. II.
Robinson receiving all the votes. In Virginia
considerable interest is manifested, and
much electioneering is going on.
