THE EVENING NEWS

Il will be ready to run IN the course of
three or four weeks. Its battery. which
consists Of eight stamps, is nearly COM
Melted, the vats which are to hold the
pulp that runs from the mortars and
which are TO be situated next back of the
battery are being put together. Wheeler's
Patent Amalgamators are TO be used for
working the ores after they are crushed.
-Four of them have already been put up.
Besides the four that have been put in
place, there are two large separators, which
take the pulp after it is worked in the pans
and separate it. These two separators
have not vet been put In position, but they
are at hand ready for use when required.
The engine and boiler are set. The for
mer is about 10 or 20 horse power and
amply sufficient to run the machinery Of
the mill. The proprietors, however, in
tend to put ups stamps more shortly af-
ter the mill gets running, and when they
are added to the machinery already to be
driven, together with that which will have
to be put up 20 amalgamate what the new
battery will crush, it will probably be
found necessary to erect new engine.
REPnRrNe.-The proprietOrs of Steele
& Anderson's mill are giving it tho
rough reftting; saeh one as viii make
it as good as new, but which will also
cost nearly as much as it would to re-
build it entire. Every part of the old
works, except the battery is being taken
TO pieces, and that IS being overhauled
and repaired, and another, new one of
five stamps is being put up beside it.
The crashing power of the mill when
ready TO run again, will, therefore, be
double what they were before. All the
cid amalgamating machinery has been
taken out, and the room which it oecu-
pied is being graded out and the bottom
or floor made four or five feet lower than
it was before. The amalgamating ma
ehinery which will be put in when the
preparations being made to receive 1t are
completed, will be new throughout. The
pans used will be of Hepburn's pattern,
and are already on hand, ready TO be put
in when thec are wanted. The engine IS
also receiving its share of attention, and
will either be replaced by new one, O.
thoroughly reftted. II is small one,
and considerably worn, and will probably
be replaced by new and larger one.
JUSTICE CoxrAxY.-The work on this
eompany's machinery is going ahead very
rapidly. \ large force of mechanics are
employed and the frame work viii be
ready for erection in very short time.
The frame will be very heavy, so will the
machinery. All the machinery is on the
ground, ready to be put up when the
frame is ready. The foundation of the en-
CINE is completed. 1t is constructed of
brick and stone, and IS of sufficient size,
and weight, and of such workmanship as
to be immovable and be capable of hold
ing with the greatest irmneSs the engine,
which is 10 be put on it. though it be
worked to its greatest capacity. The bob
pit is now being prepared TO receive the
foundation. and frame ofthe bob. In the
meantime work at sinking the shaft is not
suffered 10 remain Idle. The miners have
hard rock to sink it through but are new
ertheless enabled to sink down 60 or 20
feet per week.

MINING on AMERICAN FLAr.-Mining
IN this part of our country has about come
TO stand still. There are now only
very few of the scores of claims which
were being worked three months ago now
busy. Those that are being worked are
not pushed on with much vigor, and in
most of them only one or two shifts are
worked. The Kentucky is running its
tunnel ahead, so is the jim Mcclellan Com
panv, the Knickerbocker and the Globe
Companies are each running drifts, and
the Jewett & Shepard and New Oregon
Companies are both sinking their respec-
tive Shafts. These we believe are the only
claims down that way that are now work
ing, and half of these claims employ each
only one shift of workmen-one third OF
the number which were employed by
them in prosperous times.
