SUSPENDED OFERNrIoNs.-Thc Overman
Company, which commenced work with its
newmachinery few days ago, has suspended
mining operations in its shaft. The water
came in so rapidly that it was almost impoS-
si5le to keep it out, with the buckets which
were being used, fast enough to allow the
miners to sink. The company will immedi-
ateiy proceed 70 put in its pump, which is al
ready on the ground. 1t will not take long,
however, to put it in. The bob is already
set. Ii was put in 1T the time the machinery
was erected, and all THAI now remains 10 be
done Is to set the pump in the shaft and make
the connections. This will not take more
than a week or two, and then the company
will beiready for operations again. The water
will have to be raised only 70 the tunnel,
which is but 4 short distance above the bot
tom OF the shaft. The power required to
raise It will not, therefore, DC very great. The
Uncle Sam Company has lately put its pump
in working order in its shaft, about twenty
rods southwest Of the Overman, but has not
used it. That company is ROW running 4
drift 70 connect with the North American
mining works, and those works are being
connected with the Caledonia Tunnel, so
that. when the work in progress is completed,
the Uncle sam can discharge its water into
this new drift, through which it can be con-
Quoted 10 the Caledonia Tunnel, and thence
to It's mouth. As soon as this can be done.
the Uncle Sam, we are told, will start up, and
when il does il will aSSiS; in draining the
ledge At the Overman; but as It Will take
some time 20 make the connections, the Over
man has determined TO take the initiative
step, and put in its pump at once and go on
with its work.
REESE RIVER Bullion. - Paxton K
Thoynburch, on Saturday, received Sl,7OO in
silver bars from Reese river. These bars
present = very different appearance from those
made in this vicinity, which is owing to the
base metal they contain. By using furnaces
for roasting the ore, after Il has passed
through the batteries, they can get rid OF this
base metal. and il is said that roasting in
reyerberatOry furnaces increases the Weld IN
MANY instances from three to four hundred
dollars per ton, or more than half. This dis
cOvery Is going to make great difference in
the value of the mines OF the Reese river
region. No large furnaces have rs yet been
erected, but several are in process Of con
n, u
worked without having hrSt undergone the
roasting process. Roasting drives off the
contained sulphur, arsenic, antlmony, and
some other base metals and minerals, Oper-
ating to deteriorate the value Of the bullion,
and retard the amalgamatiOn of the silver.
CONSOLIDATED Co.-This company has
commenced sinking its shaft again. It has
considerable water TO hoist, but not SO much
as came into the shaft when It was being
sunk before. The ledge which this company
claims crops out Just north OF Its shaft, and
was found ut the depth OF about LOO feet to be
about eighty feet west OF that work. II was
quite thoroughly proSpected at that !eEet,
and some rock was taken out and worked,
which paid verv well, but not enough to war-
rant the taking out of large quantity. The
company re commenced sinking last week,
and has now got down to the depth OF li2
feet. \ within is used for hosting with, and
1t present about twice as much water as ROCK
has to be raised. The progress made Is,
therefore slow, but it IS found cheaper to
proceed in this manner than TO erecting ma
chinery.
Ia PLATA Ono Co.-This company IS
now working only in its shaft which is down
about $50 feet. 1t has struck no water yet,
to cause inconvenience in working, but the
indications now are that the water soon will
he struck. 1t is much deeper already than
any other shaft that we know of IN the as
trict has gone without striking water. he
intention of the company now Is, we belleVe,
10 keep sinking the shaft until 1t Is prevent
ed from so doing by water, and then TO run
= drift 10 the ledge. At this depth the ledge
will undoubtedly be found much larger and
richer than it was in the tunnel, ana there II
was large enough to satisfy the most grasp
ing mind, and almost rich enough TO pay iol
working.
THE Miantonomah Company has now less
water in its shaft than it las had for some
time past. The ground continues soft, and
the company is now able to make greater
progress than at almost any time since water
was first struck. The shaft is now down
quite deep, and in that respect ranks with the
deepest on the Flat. The shaft Is being most
substantially made, well timoered, ana con,
structed in such manner that II Will staiiu
for long time. This company keeps stead
ily at work night and day, and as the ground
is soft and there is now but little water to
cause inconvenience, the shaft is being sunk
very rapidly.
yorites with mill men and mill owners
Within short time the Eclipse mill has had
the pans heretofore in use, taken out, ana
their places supplied with Hepourn'S Anal
gamators and Separators. The Gold Canon
Reduction Works are having these pans put
in, to replace their old fashioned ones, Jus.
discarded. Seele & Anderson are also about
TO put these pans into their mil down 'he
Canon. We do not know what the partlcu-
lar points about them are which makes them
such great fayorites, but it appears as II they
were taking the preference at present.
OUrET.-Times hereabout during the
past three days have been exceedingly quiet.
There have been no shooting matches, no
fist fights, no fines, no elopements, no aggra-
waited cases of love at first sight-no nothing
exciting. 1t is enough to cause reporter
