and is being htted out with hrSt-rate set OF
hooks, ladders, axes, etc. She is strong,
runs easy, and is in every respect fit for SER
vice; would it not-as she is to be stationed
at the Divide-be good idea for the young
men Of that vicinity to form 4 Hook and
Ladder Company, and take charge Of the
machine They could make themselves
vide or in this town.

The PRIZE FIGHT.-The prize fight be-
tween Bill Davis and Patsey Daley was the
all absorbing topic of conversation this fore
noon. The public interest for the day APP
peared to be withdrawn from the movements
of the great contending armies Of the east to
be centered and absorbed in the great fist
struggle to come off to-day at American Flat.
4 81, k,n WIN
ming in that direction were crowded and all
the livery stock in the city was chartered be-
forehand for the occasion. An immense
crowd Of persons from the city and vicinity
left before ten o'clock and long after that
time persons were leaving on foot for the
scene Of the fight. An account of the night
will be found elsewhere in our columns.
New MILL.-Another new mill is about
being erected in Gold Canon, between here
and Silver City. We are told that it will be
a 20 stamp mill, and christcned :" The Piute."
There is already large quantity of lumber
and timber on the ground, and it is now be-
ing delivered all the time. 1t will be large
20 stamp mill, just such one as the mines
of our district require. It will be built be-
tween the Pioneer Foundry and Douglass
nicnt place, both as regards proximity to
water and TO the main road. 1t is right on
the stream where all the water which flows
down the canon runs, and also within few
yards of the main road. 1t is being built by
Gold Hill men, who own claims in Gold Hill
proper.
The CALEDONIA Tunnel CoMPANY-This
company has been taking the timbers out Of
its lower tunnel and has now got a number Of
cords of them piled up just Al the mouth of
that work. There have been posts. caps, and
laggingS enough taken out TO timber good
mine. This lower tunnel has not been used
for long time, and probably will never be
worked in any more, so that taking all the
timbers out, is 4 great saving 10 the company.
They will be used in the upper tunnel where
work is all the time being vigorously pushed
ahead, and where timberS are all the time re-
quired to be used.
LAND, SKAE & Cos. Mill is going along
rapidly. 1t is nearly enclosed already. The
side, and ends are boarded up and the roof
partly covered. The intention Of the parties
building the mill is to have it in running Or
der by the middle of July, and they are max
ing great exertions 70 carry out their plans.
The machinery has not yet arrived but will
probably be on as soon as It is needed, that
is, as soon as the building is completed, and
the foundation for the engine laid. 1t is 4
first class mill, and as soon as it is ready to
run will have an abundance Of work to do.
KEYSTONE CoNPANY.-This company is
sinking its shaft again. Last week it COM
menced at the bottom and timbered up to
where it had been timbered before. To do
this it took several days, and when it was I'm
ished the company was somewhat inclined
to stop sinking and commence drift, but
finally concluded to keep on sinking down as
long as no water comes into she shaft. The
shaft continues in the same hard rock which
it has been sunk in, heretofore, for several
weeks.
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF POISONING.
A man BY the name OF Kinney, or Kinsley,
was arrested to-day on a Coroner's warrant,
on suspicion of his having caused the death
of Mrs. O'Connor by poisoning her. A
post morton examination of the body was
made last night, but, we believe, the result
has not yet been made public. The Coroner's
Jury adjourned this morning, to meet again
this evening, when it is thought more evil
dence can be obtained in the case.
RoxBY Co.-This company has struck
some exceedingly hard rock in its tunnel.
The workmen say that it is so hard as almost
to defy the drill; and but little Roadway is
therefore made with the work, although, there
is more labor bestowed than heretofore. The
tunnel is now about $50 feet long, and so far
as it has been run is superiority constructed.
In its course ithas cut through two lodges,
and is now being run for others.
STRUCK 1T RICH.-The Branch Mint COM
pany, which struck its ledge about week
ago, evidently has struck it very rich. There
has been little noise or commotion made
about it, and the fact has evidently been kept
as secret as possible. The company sent off
load Of rock to mill to be crushed this
morning, which certainly had the appearance
of being exceedingly rich.
PHoroGRAPHs.-Thoseo of our fellow citi-
zens who may desire to please the old folks
at home by sending them their photographs,
should call at the gallery of A. J. Beals and
examine his work. They will see that it is
unnecessary to so to Virginia for artistic
work Of the kind.
WANTED TO SWEAR. - Shenagan, the
traitor who was arrested day or two since,
was very anxious to take the oath when he
found that he was to be locked up. He
wanted to take the oath before he arrived at
the quarters of the Guard-he hungered and
thirsted for it.
AF1NE FLAG STAFF.-The Provost Guard,
at Virginia, will shortly erect flag staff 100
feet in height. The pole of which it is to be
constructed have been ordered and they are
in daily expectation of their arrival. They
will have 1t up sure before the Fourth.
Or OF WORK." can't get anything to
do" is the cry of the newcomer in Washoe.
Go to Shehan & Co.'S branch office, next
door to the Postoffice, and they will find you
a job.
BULLION SHIPrED.-Wells, Fargo Co.'S
Express shipment this morning was p bars
and . sack of bullion, weighing in the aggre-
gate 1910 pounds, and worth, according to
assay, S45,763 20.
