LAND, SxAB AND Cos. MrrL.--We Wis
tied this splendid new mill which Is build
inV down the canon, few days ago. and
took look at some of the powerful ma
chinery which is being put up there. The
whole of the machinery is OF the best
quality and the latest and most improved
style. 1t is also very heavy, and is beng
nut up in the most substantial manner.
The engine is of l20-horse power and a
finished piece of work, 1t is set on a
massive foundation of masonry, upwards
of eight feet in depth. The bottom of the
nit was covered with cement, and in this
heavy iron bars were laid into winch the
bolts which extend up through the solid
masonry and by which the bed-plate Of
the engine is fastened down and firmly
fitted. The bottom of the masonry is
brick work, and the top, cut stone, and
before the engine can move from its place,
an atom, it viii have to raise all this mas
siye weight to which it is attached. The
line shaft from the engine is being put up
and viii be ready to work from in a few
days, at most. The pans are being put in
place, the batteries are completed except
the connections with the hne shat, and
every branch of work about the mill is In
an advanced state towards completion.
Everything viii be completed and the mill
ready to run the last of the month.
TIE CENTRAL HAwxsYs Company con-
tinnes sinking its shaft which is now
down to the depth of about 80 feet. For
the past week the day shift has been TIM
bering and the night SHIFT sinking.
About 60 feet of the shaft is timbered, but
the remaining 80 feet viii be as soon as
the day shift can do it. The ground
through which it is being sunk is of q
quality which works easily and stands
well without timbering. The work there
fore is carried ahead very rapidly, and if
hard formation is not struck In going
down, the shaft will be sunk to the level
of the tunnel below and connected with
it in very few weeks.
The oNN1Bus.-Mr. Jocelyn, the gen.
tlemanly agent of the Virginia and Gold
Hill Omnibus line, desires US to inform
the public, that all persons who are hold
ing tickets, or checks of the line, are re-
quested to come and take ride, He
w,,nts all the checks to come m-and no
more viii be sold, at the present time at
least. The fare, Except for the checks
now out) viii be invariably 80 cents.
Hard times make it necessary, if the peo-
pie want our Bus line to continue to run
that the full price should be paid.
