| THE HALE AND NoRcRoss Company
has taken down its old hosting works
removed its old engine, and cleared away
around its shaft generally. In the place
where its dingy and rickety old hosting
works stood. will soon be erected new
ones. of the strongest kind and most ap-
proved style. The woodwork for the
latter is already framed, and the machine
~ is on the ground. There will be two
engines one to drive the pump, the other
/ TO work the reels to do the hosting. Both
I of these engines are of large size, and the
one which is to drive the pump is larger
| than any engine vet employed in working
a mine in this Territory. The smaller OF
these two engines is already set in its
place. The foundation is laid for the
! LARGER one, and it will be set IN short
time. In fact at the rate at which work
is being carried on there it will be but
Il few DAYS before all the machinery will
be ready for operation.
The Bullion Company has lowered its
pump, and with the exception of having a
few lengths of pipe to be attached to it
vet, it is ready for operation. There is
no water to be hoisted at present, but the
company is drifting at a greater depth
than any of the claims in its vicinity are
worked, and is expecting every day to
strike a stream of water, which will give
employment to the company's machinery,
which is now standing idle. 4 stream Of
water is by no means coveted and sought
for by this company in its mine, but the
probability that it will have one to con-
tend with is so great that the company has
put in the pump, so as to be prepared to
meet it whenever it does come.
LAFAYETTE CoMpASY.-This company
is sinking its shaft in hard rock, and is
not going on so rapidly now as it was a
short time ago, when it was in much
softer formation. Three shifts of work
men are. however, employed and by work
being carried on all the time, night and
day. the company is enabled TO carry the
shaft down three or four feet per day de-
spite the hardness Of the rock. The conf
panv is having the work done well. The
Shaft is being substantially timbered, and
is being constructed in such manner as
to be second TO none in its neighborhood.
The OMEGA COMPANY is erecting the
frame work of its hosting works. The
frame was nearly all up yesterday, and
the timbers appear to fit to the scratch all
around. The frame is built in the ordi-
nary style, and is composed of timbers Of
more than common size, for such pur-
pose. The frame is of great strength and
will be capable of standing the heavy
strains which will be imposed upon ii
when work is commenced with the COM
pany's new 65 horsepower engine, with
out creak or jar.
THE GlFTs.-We were up in Virginia
this morning for short time, and having
drawn splendid gold pen in Wrights
Gift Entertainment, we stopped at his
office. Oh, what lot of gold and silver
presents he has vet on hand to be distrib-
uted to the lucky ticket-holders Enough
to set up a jewelry store. All who have
drawn prizes can have them by presenting
their tickets. Hope Mr.. Wright will get
up another Prize Gift Entertainment.
Qr1Er.-Around the Police Court to-
day has hung a solemn silence. No
drunken sleeper in the midnight mountain
air, no inebriate oratorical or belligerent,
no despoiler of the gobs or goods of other
men, appeared to replenish the public
treasury by fine, or mend the highway
bv involuntary toll. Peace and poverty
lie down together-dull times and moral
ity kiss each other.
The shaft of the Crown Point Ravine
Company is now down about % feet. The
workmen have come into hard rock, and
! are unable to go down as rapidly with the
shaft as they have done heretofore. The
ground has been so firm all the way down
that they have not found it necessary to
timber it all yet, and have not done so, al
though the timbers for that purpose are
on the ground.
BrLL1ox.-The bullion shipment this
morning was II bars, weighing $40 lbs,
and valued at S19,3S4 p.
