TERRIFIC SNASH-UP.-About one o'clock
this afternoon the team Of Mr.. n. P. Shell
don, of the Pioneer Mills, Silver City, attach
cd to a top buggy, took fright on c street.
Virginia, near Taylor, and ran away passing
northward along the street. Mr.. Sheldon
managed to pull them in toward the livery
stable of Benham Brothers, which perhaps
saved his life, otherwise they would have
struck prairie schooner which stood IN the
street. The carriage struck against an avn
ing post as they turned in toward the stable,
upon which one of the forward wheels was
smashed to atoms and the top-which was up
badly wrecked. Mr.. Sheldon leapcd out as
the vehicle come in contact with the post and
thus escaped uninjurcd. Neither Of the

hurt. Viewing the wreck of the buggy the
escape Of Mr.. Sheldon appears almost mlrac-
ulnus.
Police CoURr.-There was but one case
before Judge Robinson this morning, which
indicates that those who INDUCED in fighting
whisky the most on election day, have left
town. Frank McShegan forgot himself last
night, became very much fudded; was
nabbed for occupying outdoor lodgings; was
taken TO the hotel de calabooSe, and this
morning, after trial as in such case by law
made and provided, fined in the sum of $40.
kale-seed being rather scarce with Frank,
His Honor gave him FIVE DAYS honest labor
on the Town Reservoir. Nothing like good,
honest labor occasionally. 1t keeps the pores
open ; the head clear, and makes man am
bilious of becoming somebody - besides It
causes 4 good appetite for pork and beans,
aud sound sleep-bleSsingS not enjoyed by
al! who are rich. This is blessed world, if
we only take it in the right spirit.
STRUCK IT.-The Branch Mint Company
struck its ledge last Monday. 1t was struck
in the drift which has been run southwest
from the shaft, and is the same one which
was found in the old works last summer.
The quartz is of the whitish color which
characterizes most of the Gold Hill rock, and
aboundS in blush spots, containing sulphur
cts of silver. Considerable native silver, yisi-
BILE 10 the naked eye, is also found in the
quartz, and altogether that which has been
taken out appears to be Of more than COM
mon richness. We have no doubt but that
as soon as the Company fairly opens its
mine, it will commence taking out pay rock.
GLOBE Co.-ThiS Company is driving the
drift from its shaft to the ledge at the rapid
rate OF ten feet per day. Three shifts Of men
are worked, aud If the ground continues as
favorable for working as it is at present, it
will not be long before the ledge will be
struck. The drift is now about l2O feet long,
and it is expected that il will have to be run
about 60 or 70 feet further to strike their
ledge.
BETTER WoRKING.-The knickerbocker
Company has struck softer rock in its upper
shaft, which makes better working, and ena-
bles the workmen TO drive the work ahead
much more rapidly now than they have been
enabled 10 do for long time past. The shaft
is now 80 feet deep, and timbered all the way
with three-inch planks. It is the deepest
i. -. IT,, ,,,Et boh has
structed.
THE WINNING TICKETS.-The first prize
in Wright's Gift Entertainment is silver
brick worth upwards of $1,000; and the last
prize is splendid pianoforte The drawing
will come off at Virginia on the 4th of July.
There being but few tickets left, everybody,
his wife, and children, is securing few
chances, especially as certain clairroy-
ant has Just developed the fact that the first
and last prize tickets have not yet been sold.
STRUCK IT SOFTER. The Miantonomah
Company has lately struck more water and
softer ground in its shaft. 1t is getting along
finely; keeps work going rapidly ahead with
three shifts of workmen, and is getting to
have one Of the deepest shafts on the Flat, as
well as one OF the best ones.
FIRED Ara darkey arrested by Captain
Clarkson last night, attempted to give him
leg bail. A shot fred over his head brought
him to his knees and his senses, and he ex-
pressed willingness to accompany the off,
Ger that was decidedly exuberant.
WATER TANK.-The Dardanelle Company
has built a water tank on the south side Of
its new building, and has thus completed a
necessary appendage to steam machinery. 1t
will soon have its machinery ready to run.
