THAT STOVE BLACKING found in the
Kentucky Tunnel, and which the B"iEetn'
pronounccs black oxide of manganese, the
! Enterprise still insists is plumbaso, and says
Weyesterday noticed several sacks Of plum
( baro, from the Kentucky tunnel, near Amer;-
can Flat, living in front Of Gillig, Mott K Co.
Mr.. Gillig informed us that he intended send
ing the lot 10 San Francisco to have some eX-
pcriments made with il, with Il view OF ascer-
tanning its fitness for the manufacture OF
cruciblcs, etc The bulk Of that which we
saw appears 10 be talcose slate with the plum
baso adhcring to it and filling its interstices.
We understand that some crucibles have
been manufactured Of this material at the
pottery in this city"
BEIcx.-The Virginia papers speak of the
activity in the brick making business in that
place. We are informed that there is an
abundance Of good bric&-making Garth just
below this town. We hope that the pre-
Sencc of the material will induce the property
owners OF the burnt district, as well us others
who contemplate building this summer To
Use the ire proof article, instead Of erecting
the usual combuStiblc frames. It will be
found to be true economy in the long run.
PIT N OrGGArIoS.-The Golden Eagle
Company No. have now got their within:
erected and in operation. 1t works all right
and is found much better to hoist from their
shaft with than i windlaSs. Il is not 50 hard
work. That company's shaft is now two hun
bred feet deep, and 4 drift has been started
from the bottom OF it and run - the west.
Two shifts OF workmen are engaged night
and day in RAINING the drift, and work Is be-
ing pushed rapidly forward on the claim.
ANOTHER UNDERGROUND NETTING
The Savage and BirdsaIl Works have just
Connected" the former cutting through
into some Of the chambers Of the latter. Or
course the question OF" who is quit = ra-
turaily arises. The Birdsall folks claim that
the Savage people have no business so far
ives, rs they have lately been working, while
the SavlEcS say that they are still on their
oNa vein. Another fiat take" on the
'aaok" for the lawyers.
CASE OF FoRp.-James Ford, the land
lord Of the VIVA: Cheer Hotel, who recently
beat James Thompson 10 death, under cir
cnms;lnces heretofore stated, was Yesterday
indicted BY the Grand Jury for murder in the
E~Ss degree. He IS in custody and will he
tried n the next term Of the District Court,
until which time the less said about the case
the better.
Orr FmENES.-In awarding the praise
due TO the Virginia Firemen for their efforts
At the fire of Wednesday morning, we entire
y omitted TO say anything about our own
Hook and Ladder Company, who were early
Oh hand and did good service. Talking
about the outsiders made us forget our own
folks.
WATCHES, CLOCKS, JgwELRY, EIc.-We
call attention TO the advertisement Of Chas.
W. Young, matchmaker and jewelcr, No. II
North B street, Virginia. Mr.. Young con-
Quoted his present line Of business twelve
wears in Nevada, Cal, and refers with conf
dsnce to all Ncvadans, as to his reliability in
ais trade and profession.
ANES AND BrcXETs.-The parties who, at
the late fire, appropriated about dozen buck
els and half dozen axes belonging to Silver
Bar Hook and Ladder Company No. l, aye
notified that the same are wanted by the
company. By returning them forthwith they
n:tl save themselves an escor: by the police.
TIE STAGES the Pioneer coaches are

went through this town this morning at 10
o'clock.
