receiving tnoIOuSn V'eAAouHAAS anu Ae-
nairs, and will be ready for operation
AGAIN in few days. A new battery has
been put up, and the mill has now ten
heavy stamps. The old pans have been
replaced by Hepburn's patent amalgama-
tors and separators. There are six of the
former and three of the latter. A new
six-horse engine has been put in the mill
to drive the new machinery. The capacity
of the mill will be double what it was be-
fore, and it is the intention of the proprie-
tors to add another battery and more
smalgamators in short time. Our mines
are producing so much rock that every
stamp that can be used is employed in
working out the bullion-the staple Of
the country-and all additions which are
made to our mills will not only prove
profitable to the owners but beneficial to
the country generally.
New MIIL.-The Piute mill which has
been building this summer, down in the
lower part of town, is nearly completed
and viii be ready to commence crushing
rock in few days. The mill was started
up and some rock was crushed yesterday
merely for a trial. Everything worked
satisfactorily. This mill is owned by a
company owning ground in Gold Hill
proper, and will be used to crush rock
from its own claim. 1t has twenty heavy
stamps, ten Hepburn amalgamators, five
separators and is to be driven by an so
horse power Corliss engine. 1t will have
the capacity of working about twenty or
twenty-five tons Of rock per day. The
mill is large and roomy, and in building
no expense or pains have been spared in
making it strong and durable, though
very little money has been expended in
paint and varnish where rome was needed.
When completed it will be inferior to few
mills in the Territory.
SHooTrSG.-We are informed that a
Sergeant of the guard shot a soldier at
Fort Churchill, this mornidg. We were
unable to obtain names or the particulars.
LArER.-The shooting ARRAY at the Fort
las. evening was as follows. One Jewett,
private IN Company c, yesterday
afternoon went TO the house of Sar-
gent Warfeld and insulted Mrs. Warheld,
when she told him to leave and go to his
quarters. Jewett was afterward arrested
by the Sargent of Co. D. cavalry, and
confined in the Guard House, where
Warfeld went and enquired for him, but
did not see him until Jewett went for his
blankets at his quarters, when Warheld,
meeting him, shot at him. the first fire
missing, the second taking effect in the
right breast of Jewett, probably infiicting
a fatal wound.
ATTEMPTED 1ScESDIARIsM.-OnW We'd
nesday evening, the Waterman Of the
first ward heard noise in shed near
Lammeroux & Co.'S Lumber Yard, and
proceeding thither, discovered man who
pretended to be drunk, and who after
staggering out of the enclosure, ran at a
furious pace and escaped pursuit. An
examination disclosed that a pile of old
cotton clothing had been saturated with
camphene, and piled up close to the dry
lumber. 1t was evidently the intention
of the scamp to burn the buildings ada
cent, in one of which the first ward Union
Club held its meetings, and the officers
vigilance, doubtless, prevented serious
confagration.
ASoTHER.-This morning at half past ?
o'clock, the city was alarmed by the ring
ing of the bell of Engine Co., No. l, and
the several fire companies were promptly
on hand, but were not compelled to make
use of their machines. A fire was dis
covered between an out-building and
house of in-fame. on D street, and was
extinguished before the arrival Of the en-
sines. The house has recently been I'M
dergoing repairs, and pile Of shingles
and shavings had been raked together at
the side of the house and coal oil poured
over them and set on FIRE. The early dis
covery of the flames prevented large
conAagration.
ORIGINAL HAwKEYE Co.-This COM
pany keeps driving work ahead on its
claim, and from present appearances will
soon be in its ledge. 4 few days since q
large stream of water was struck in a DRIFT,
which was being run from its shaft at the
depth of about BIS feet, but the manage
ment of the mine has been such that very
little inconvenience has been experienced
from striking it. The water comes from
the ledge into which the miners are now
driving the drift, and the company have
great confidence that they will lind pay
rocld at the depth at which the ledge is
now being opened.
GRAND DENoNsrRAT1oN.-The evening
of the eighth of October will witness the
grandest display of the Union party that
has ever transpired in the days of Nevada.
The preparations are being conducted In
the most profuse mzaner, and the Union
men of the county will mass such an
army of loyal voters as will strike dismay
TO the hearts of all Copperheads. Bands
of music have been secured, and in the
procession a thousand torches, countless
banners and transparencies viii make i'm
posing the solid phalanx Of Nevada
yeomen.
GOULD s. CURRY.-The mining and
milling works of the Gould & Curry COM
pany closed last night, and will probably
remain idle for some time to come. We
understand there is to be a change In the
management, and that another Superin-
tendent will be sent to take charge. The
stopping of this mine, if long continued,
Will work serious injury to the prosperity
of Nevada, and we hope ere long to
chronicle the recommencemento of work.
PAYING OFF.-Yesterday the PaymasteI
of the army paid off the Provost Guard,
and last night the "sogers were enjoy,
ing themselves generally. This morning
a detachment of the Guard, under Capt
Welles, rode through the principal streets
sounding the bugle call for all straggler:
to come into camp, from whence many Of
the troops will 60 to the Fort and then te
the garrison at Salt Lake.
JUSTICE CouRT, VIReINIA.-The fol
lowing business was, this morning, trans.
acted before Justice Sawyer: Lawson VS.
