NEVADA CoMPANY.-rhe Nevada Com
pany is again at work on its claim, and is
busy sinking its shaft. Il is now down
III feet, and has its shaft well timbered
all the way. The company suspended
work on its claim about the first of last
MAY, and nothing more was done on 1t
until about TWO weeks ago, when work in
the main shaft was recommended. Con-
siderable water was struck few days ago,
and since then it has come in to consider
able extent all the time, but not in so
large quantities Is when first struck. The
hosting is done by means of double
wiudlaSS, and now, the workmen inform
US, about ten buckets of water have to be
hoiS;ed every morning. and usually about
TWO every day after dinner, before work
in the shaft can be commenced. The tubs
used for hosting water hold go gallons
each. While work is going on and dirt Is
being hoisted. all the water which comes
in is taken up in that; but As no work Is
done during the night, the water settles IN
the shaft and is hoisted out in the morn
ing.

pouding number % pans. 1t Is situated
about thirty rods below Reeds Mil. and
on the same creek. There IS an abund-
ance OF water for this mil and for several
Others. should they be erected, and more
water will probably be struck as soon as

will be no diminution in its quantity.

THAT GUS.-Mr. Skerret, the treasurer
of the SllS. subscribed for gun for Gold
Hill. about two months ago, informs us
that he has endeavored 10 purchase one at
San Francisco, but thus far has been un-
able. The Fulton Foundry, up on the
Divide, about 4 month ago took the con-
tract to cast a gun, to be ready by the last
.fth of July, but the contractors failed to
- come to tIme"-and hence the blame
rests upon the Fulton Foundry. How
ever, Gold Hill Is bound TO have gun,
and the treasurer of the fund is going to
San Francisco in a few days, when gun
will be bought, if money can purchase it.
WR1GHr's PRIzEs.-Mr. Wright informs
Ms that the two thousand and ffty-eight
1rizes, drawn at his Gift Entertainment,
on the 9Th of July, will be distributed at
his Office in Virginia, tomorrow. coma
menciny at nine o'clock. Persons hold
ING prize tickets viii present them. and
they can GET the articles, from three
thousand dollar silver brick down to a
finger ring worth five dollars. Mr..
Wright has the reputation of being an
honest and an honorable man, and we
doubt not his Gift Entertainment has
been honorably conducted.
THE New OREGON Company received
rhs remainder of its machinery couple
of days ago, and will now Immediately
commence putting it up. The frame OF
the hoistinz works has been ready to re-
,"eive the machinery for some time, but on
account of the non-arrival of certain parts
which have from some cause been delayed,
the engine has not been set, nor any
movement made towards doing it more
than 10 excavate for the foundation. But
now work on the foundation has COM
nenced and as plenty of help is employed,
it will not take long to put the engine IN
running order.
The OSyoro COMPANY will commence
sinking shaft in few days. The COM
pany has two shafts down already, but
they were both sunk before the tunnel
had been run in far, and were not con-
structcd with reference to it. The shaft
which is to be commenced will be con-
strueted with reference to the tunnel, and
The daxelopInents made there The tun-
