THE EVENING NEWS.

claim was located a tunnel was run lfo ieet,
AGO hundred feet north, and back from the
month of this tunnel a shaft was sunk to the
dentb of forty feet, developing ledge feet
yx;5c bnt could not be worked further on ac-
connt of water. In their original location
they have claimed two lodges, but at the time
of Incorporation, two more were claimed,
making four in all. A short distance east
and on line with the mouth Of the tunnel a
new shaft BY 8, with two compartments IS
being sunk, il is now down some thirty feet
and being worked night and day. The com,
pany are also cleaning out the cid tunnel
which had flor the distance of eighty feet)
cSyed in, they are now very near the end OF
the cave, and will in few days reach that
part of the tunnel which was timbered and
then nav be able to get ahead much faster.
The long neglected lodges of the Flat are be-
ginning to receive the attention their import
ance demands. Thus, while many are hur-
ryinC to new and untried districts, others are
contentedly, and far more surely, making
fortunes here
WIsroN's MILLs.-These mills are locat-
ed on Gold Canon, about one and half
miles below Silver city, and were built by
Mr.. William Weston, the proprietor, two
years ago last fall. One Of them contains
twelvc-horse engine, which now runs ten
stamps, and preparations are making to in
troduee FIVE more. Wheeler's pans are IN
use in this mill, and greatly admired by the
proprietor. This mill brushes ten tons OF
rock in a day, and is doing an excellent buSl-
ness-at least We should judge so, by the
quantity of amalgam and silver bricks we
saw about the premises. This mill has gwen
about as good satisfaction, in extracting bull
lion, and rendering a correct account, as any
mill in the country. Mr.. Weston has ano-
Their mill on the opposite side OF the canon,
which is propelled by water power, having
IN ovcrshot wheel forty feet in diameter. 1t
contains ten stamps, six large iron pans, and
is capable of crushing seven tons OF rock
every twenty-fOur hours. These mills are
substantially constructed, and enclosed IN
well-built frame buildings. The enterpris-
ing proprietor is doing an excellent business,
and merits the patronage so literally bestow-
cd upon him bv several Of the mining COM
panies in Virginia and Gold Hill. The mill
Is at present engaged in crushing rock for
the Golden Era and Bajazett.
DERArE.-The personal debate at Ma
guire's Opera House last Saturday evening
was listened to and enjoyed by large au-
OhS
that temple of Thespus to witness the legiti-
mate drama. The meeting was gotten up by
Mr.. VIM. VI. Stewart to yindicate his char
acter against certain assaults made upon it
by Judge J. W. North, while its owner was at
San Francisco. Mr.. Stewart made speech
of more than an hours duration, wherein he
shyly insinuated that North was in favor of
allowing black men to vote, and that as a jul
y. Il l.. .rlNVF
than nc ought TO be, and that his ownership
of n quartz mill was sort of dead weight to
his integrity. The Judge replied to diSprove
the charges against him, and he was loudly
cheered, as was also Mr.. Stewart.
BULLION FOR THE WEEK.-During the
present week Wells, Fargo & Co., have ship
ped from their office in this city sos, 29l 6S
in bullion. This makes a daily average Of
Sc, ISL 94. Surprising us to send the same
amount each week for the next year, our
shipments from this city would amount to
considerable over ten millions and half Of
dollars but we think VIC will beat these hg-
urcs- During the past year We sent six mil
lions and i half from this mining camp"
Considering the great number Of new mines
that will be open, and new mills that will be
in operation this year, We ought to send
nearly double that amount Of bullion.-ER-
