P.,.v A,.px-yesterday afternoon,

n into difficulty in the lower part of town.
Which caused rush Of people in that VI
cinity to the spot. Just then a steam
whistle, in shrill, prolonged tones, pro-
claimed the hour of three. Remarkable
coincidence. People at the upper end OF
town, hearing the whistling and seeing the
rush down street, thought sure there was
a fire; and raising the hue and cry, rushed
down to the supposed scene of conhagra-
ton, through the water and mud. Ye
bully boys Of Hook and Ladder persua-
sion came dashing down TO the rescue of
We imperiled females of ye hurdy-gurdy
house, with their breasts heaving, and the
bright blades of their keen axes ghstening
in the sun. In a few moments half the
floating population of the town were gath
cred in the street down by the Union
mill, to learn, much to the JOY of some
and the infinite disgust of others, that
everything was all right, and their SER
vices were no more needed than if the
whistle had not blown for three o'clock.
SAvNe.-Within the past few weeks
quite number of men have commenced
work in the canon below town, washing
tailings from the mills. We do not know
what their success is, but whatever they
make so much saved, and many unem-
ployed men, who would rather Try some
experiments than bum around town,
would undoubtedly make some money, if
they did not make good wages, by trying
some of the numerous methods of separa-
ting and securing the sulphurets. There
are plenty of places where experiments
can be made, if any one is disposed to
make them.
WORK on the Mitchell Segregated claim
continues to be carried on steadily all the
time. The shaft which the company is
preparing to sink near the mouth of the
tunnel, will be commenced in short
time. The place where it is to be started
is nearly all graded off. The company
appears to be determined to make all nee
essary preparations before commencing
work on the shaft-a wise manner of pro-
ceeding-so as to have nothing to impede
the progress of the work when it is once
commenced.
REcoRDER's CouRr, VIReIN1A.-J. Ro-
land, arrested by officer Wlcoxson for
fighting, was fined, paid $40. P. Fuller,
arrested by officer Larkin for fighting,
was fined, and paid 81 so. P. Clum,
arrested by officer Ballou for fighting,
was discharged. A. Bateman and John
Sales, arrested by officer Shepard and
Larkin for fighting, had the case eontinu-
ed till 2 p. N. of this day. Joseph Da-
vids, arrested by officer Clancy for being
drunk and sleeping on the sidewalk, was
discharged.
The machinery for the Piute mill is be-
ginning to arrive. Considerable has al
ready been delivered within the past few
days. That which has come to hand APP
pears to be of the first quality. It's all
expected to be on the ground in a few
days, and with the force Of workmen now
employed, it viii take but few weeks to
complete the mill and put it in running
order. Hurry it up. The people are
eager to hear the rattle of its stamps, for
their harsh music is a sure sign of pros
perity.
WORK has been suspended on the En-
terprise claim. The boys stuck it out
well after hard times came on. They felt
so confident of striking the ledge that
they worked some weeks running the tun-
mel ahead, on the promise of the company
TO pay when they could, hoping all the
time to strike the ledge and make a good
thing out of it, but hard rock discouraged
them, and few days ago they shut up
shop to wait for better times
Crown PoINT CLAIM continues to turn
out all the rich ore that the mill can
crush. The only run cleaned up gave
between $40 and $50 per ton. This run
will probably yield as well as the first one
did. for the rock being crushed is from
the same ledge, and, we believe, from near
the same spot of it. as that first taken out.
At that rate the mine win soon be paying
dividends.
HIS NANB.-The name of the man who
was killed in the Union Mil, at Silver
City, yesterday morning, was Joseph
Wilde; and it is reported that he had o
wife and children living at Grass Valley,
California He seems to have been an
incompetent engineer-which should be
warning to mill-men not to hire engineers
who do not understand their business.
A Yesterday afternoon, on
B street, team of horses, belonging to
Mr.. Olin, attached to buggy, and driven
by the Superintendent of the 0phir COM
pany, ran away, on B street, and collided
with dirt cart. smashing the buggy, and
letting loose the horses, which continued
on their course. The Superintendent
sprung out in time and escaped uninjured.
A THUNDER SHowER.-Between two
and three o'clock, yesterday afternoon, we
were visited by very refreshing shower,
attended with heavy thunder and light
ming. It rained briskly for about half an
hour, completely annihilating all the dust
in our very dusty streets, and giving to
the air a moist fragrance most grateful to
the dust-clogged nOstrils of our people.
