Coin Hill QUARTZ M1LL.-This mill is

GOid Hli Mill and Mining Company,
and the object OF the company as set forth in
their certificate of incorporation, was to Town
and work mill or mills, and generally to car
~ on the business ofGold and Silver Mining.
This company owns a claim of Is feet and
inches Of ground in Gold Hill proper, which
adjoinS the Consolidated claim on the south,
and which furnishes the rock to keep the
mill running. This mill has two batteries OF
four stamps each, and one battery of five
very heavy stamps. The amalgamating pans
are 2t in number, and we should judge
from appearances that they were four and
l half feet in diameter. They are Of the same
pattern as those in general use around in this
part Of the country in the mills. The pulp is
ground by the common mullers, which stir
and grind 1t, and thus cause the minerals,
which 1t contains, to amalSamate with the
quicksilver, which is put into the pans The
mill machinery is propelled by steam en-
CINE Of 3j-horse power. Its cylinder Is of
twelve inches bore and twcnty-tour inches
stroke. Its motion is regulated by COVER
nor aud very large fly wheel, and taken al
together is decidedly fne piece OF ma
chinery. The Company BY having this mill
in connection with their mine are enabled
TO work it with much more cheapnesS and
convenience than otherwise they could. Ihey
can regulate the work in the mime SO that
the production will be enough to keep the
mill running and can So work il as TO have a
constantly supply OF rock on hand. 1t very
often happens with some Of our mines that
they have to stop work because the mills are
50 full that they cannot crush their rock,
and. at other times the mills have TO stand
still because they cannot obtain rock to crush.
This disadvantage is entirely done away with

Company for there the one depends upon the
other and regulates its action accordingly.

MINES OF SAN ANTOINE, REESE RIVER
\ friend, who has lately arrived from the
Reese River country, says that in San An
tome District, about $50 miles sout of Austin,
chloride ores are found scattered over the
surface Of the ground that will pay one TO
three dollars per pound, when the best Speci-
mems are selected. He saws, il the leads are
as rich below the surface as above 1t, they
are superior 10 ANYTHING vet seen in the Ter
yitory. The great drawback to the working
the ores Of that region, however, is the very
common one in the eastern districts OF the
scarcity Of water. There is no water nearer
70 the hill on which the above mentioned rich
ores are found than ten miles. This is u
spring. or water-hOle, in 4 desert, which is
some % feet in diameter and about so feet in
depth. He thinks well Of the Reese River
mines, but saws that two or three men must
own what is now generally in the hands OF
4 dozen men, before the mines can be proflta-
bly worked.
AT WoRK.-The people of Red Mountain
District have great confidence in the value Of
their mines, and are determined to prove to
the whole world, and the people Of San Jose,
that their confidence has not been misplacedi
They are now building 4 road from the mines
Of the District 10 a new mill on the Truckee,
AID as soon as this is completed, will ship
lot Of ore from such mines as arc best devel-
opcd. in order to have it tested BY mill pro-
cess. All the ASSAYS had thus far have
proved very satisfactory. They have several
veins producing ores, out Of which silver may
be fried. May they succeed as well with mills
as FRYING pans!
WILL HAVE \ WHIN.-The Jcwett &
Sheppard Company will soon have whim.
The rock is becoming too hea'y to raise
hundred and sixty feet by hand, and the
company too rlch TO operate on so small 4
scale. Work has been commenced at grad
ing just back OF the shaft, for place to set
the machine, which we suppose will soon be
erected. Bully for the within. When the
stock comes TO a hundred dollars per share,
then hurrah for an engine.
A FRITZ EATING PEoPLE.-There must
be at least fifty places in Virginia where
fruits are sold. Fruit stands abound on all
the streets, besides there are a number of
boys vino make living BY peddling apples
about the city in baskets. People in Washoe
appear TO have I sort OF chronic laundering
for fruit and eating it has, perhaps, saved
many man from 4 severe spell Of sickness.
Il is Just the thing TO clear the system OF
alkali and " sich."
STOCKS are again reviying, and it is the
opinion of dealers that they will be very
lively in a week or two. The late promising
developments in many Of the mines in the
vicinity Of American Flat, have appeared to
give every body increased confidence in the
mines otthat region. More shares in these
mines are changing hands than in any others
in the Territory, though prices in even those
mines having the best reputation fuctuate
unaccountably.
SAFETY HooX.-The many serious and
frequently fatal accidents resulting in our
mines from the careless hooking on of tubs
in shafts and cars in inclines, have set inven-
yentive genius at work to devise preventive.
Mr.. Andrew Frazer Of this place has invent
ed 4 hook which answers the purpose admit
rablv. One of them is now in use at the
Confidence mine. Mr.. Frazer can be found
at the Fulton Foundry.
HURT BY BLAsr.-on Monday afternoon
young man by the name Of Scudder, fore
man of the Garrison claim, American Flat,
was pretty badly hurt by the explosion of a
blast while he was passing along the tunnel,
unaware that a blast had been set off. He
was FRUSTRATED by shower Of rocks, had his
left arm broken, and was pretty badly hurt in
his side He was carried to Virginia, where
ne received the care his injuries required.
SErELDr and his wife were to-day con-
victed in the District Court, for an assault
with intent to kill, in shooting George Curly
on the Divide, between this place and Vir-
ginia. 1t is not likely that Curly will ever
recover from his wound.
WARRANTS were this morning issued from
the Police Court in Virginia, for the arrest
