THE EVENING NEWS.

company'S claim continues TO be driven
steadily ahead. Until quite recently,
work has been carried on day and night,
without any intermission by three shifts
of miners. Now, however. there are only
two shifts employed, and the claim there
fore lies idle four hours out of the twenty
four. The result of all this labor has been
that this company'S tunnel has been run
ahead faster than that of any other COM
pany on American Flat. 1t is now up
wards of $50 feet in length-nearly 64O-
and with the exception of the Baltimore
American Tunnel, IS, we believe, the long
est one on the Flat. The work which has
been done within the past month and a
half, has been sufficient TO have run the
tunnel much further than 1t Is now IN II
the formation. which it has been driven
through towards the back part OF the
tunnel he'd been as easy TO run the tunnel
in as that nearer the mouth. The work
men have encountered some very hard
rock in running the last hundred feet, and
within that distance from the face of the
tunnel it has passed through several strata
of iron ore. Two Of these strata, each
about from four 20 SIX inches thick, are OF
pure iron ore, surrounded by quartz,
which contains the same mineral in less
decree. The other strata are more broken
nm, The tunnel Is now in very near to
the main ledge which the company claims,
and the intention of the company is to
keep work going ahead until the ledge is
reached. The tunnel is well ventilated by
4 water blast, which the company has put
up, and which it is enabled by the large
stream of water which it has, to make
very effective.
\ FENIAN CIRCLE.-LIast evening" the
Emmett Guards, of Virginia, came down
to Gold Hill to aid in the organization of
Il circle of the Fenian Brotherhood. The
meeting was held in the Turn Verein
Hall, and was quite well attended. Cap
tain RYAN, of the Guards, and Mr.. J. 7.
Gallagher, the CENTRE" made speeches,
which were well received by the audi
ence. The objects of the FenianS, as we
understand it, IS 10 organize the lrlsh
population in the United States III hope
of aiding, at no distant day, in the revo-
LUTON of Ireland, and her liberation from
the Government OF Great Britain. Fenlan
circles have become quite numerous, It Is
said, throughout the Northern States,
and a Congress of delegates from all their
organizations will be held in Chicago
next November. At the meeting last
night, Circle was partly organ
lied, and which is to be fully completed
at an adjourned meeting to be held next
Sunday. We understand that the Catho-
lie clergy at first were very much opposed
to the Fenian organizations, by reason of
certain secrets connected Herewith, but
thew have now withdrawn their oppoSl-
ton since the secret part of it has been
modified 10 that of simply an open pledge.
The Fenians are likely to be very strong
organization in few yearS-[they entire
" ignore American politics in their meet
ingS, and very properly, too and John
Bull had better keep sharp lookout for
his beautiful Green Isle-aS there are
many traditions in times long past which
do not set well " upon the shoulders Of
the children of the injured parents. The
Irish in America know what republican
liberty is, and they like It.
PREPARING FOR MACHNERY.-The
Empress Company has recently had its
within taken down and place graded
around its shaft where machinery is to be
put. As soon as the steam engine, boil
er. etc., can be obtained from San Fran
cisco. the work Of putting up the hosting
GEAR will be commenced. The machinery
has been ordered. but there IS such press
of orders on the foundries and machine
shops this season, that they cannot be FILL
ed Immediately where they are made
This company has had to wait IN COM
mon with others. but will have its turn
served when it comes. Before work was
suspended on this claim on account OF
water, this spring, some very rich silver
bearing rock was taken out. The COM
pany knows that the ore is there, and also
knows the position and course of the lode.
The machinery which is to be put up will
be erected with all the advantage of
knowledge of these things. The effect OF
putting up machinery on this claim can
not help but be beneficial to the claims IN
its vicinity generally, as well as to this
one in particular.
WORK on the Globe claim continues to
be driven ahead. The company viii soon
be into the ledge at a place as much as
$50 or I75 feet deeper than it has ever
been opened before. At that depth 1t
probably will find pay rock, and that
which will paw well. Where the ledge
was opened by tunnel, run from the "a
vine a few rods west of where the shaft
was started, several tons of rock was
taken out which was crushed, which
Welded at the rate of S22 80 per ton
This was taken out at not more than 30
feet from the top of the ledge. The drift
now being run, will open the ledge at the
depth of, at least, $50 feet. At that point
the company expects to take out rock
which viii yield at twice the rate that
the rock which was taken out OF the tun-
mel did. We have no reason to doubt
but that it will. 1t certainly should. 1t
will be taken out at depth more than
three times as great as the other was.
TYLER COMPANY, WASHINGTON LEDGE.
This company is getting along with its
work very well. The shaft has reached
the depth of about hundred feet, and is
being carried down with great rapidity
since the company has got its whim in
operation. The workmen keep every now
and then striking into strata Of quartz,
but they have not yet, that we are aware
of struck any very large body of it: The
bottom of the shaft is now just in the east
casing of the ledge. 1t will have to be
sunk down to a much greater depth TO
get far into the ledge, because the latter
stands very nearly perpendicular. The
workmen recently struck more water IN
sinking the shaft. There is not enough
however to hinder a great deal IN doing
the work. The company may expect
much more however when the shaft cuts
through into the main body of quartz In
the ledge.
