les, of five stamps each, making thirty stamps
in all, and will have for amalgamatinS fifteen
of Whceler's large patent pans. There will
be used at this mill 4 machine which is, we
believe, used at only two or three mills in the
Territorv-we mean one Of Bla&e'S patent
rock-breakers. Mr.. Land has used one at
his mill in Cedar Ravine, and considers it to
be one Of the most useful labor-Saviug ma
chimes that has been introduced into mills in
the Territory.
"FLYING CLoUD." - That vermillion
painted irrigator, the owner of which with
horrible taste christeued his old go-cart the
- FLYING Cloud" is throwing off on the peo-
pie. He failed 10 give us heavy wet" last
night. and to-day we have had 4 fying cloud
OF dust most horrible TO endure. II has been
perfectly binding upon the streets, and doors
and windows afford no protection against its
intrusion. The air We breathe, the water We
drink. the food we eat, are filled; our ewes
are blinded, our uoStriIS plugged up with an
accurSed impalpable powder, composed Of
ammonia, pulverized quartz, sulphurctS Of
silver, secondhand hay and barley, and ten
thousand other uameleSs denominations. To-
morrow, the Captain of the FLYING Cloud will
be mOSeyinS round with his book in one hand
and pencil in the other, smiling like an
amiable alligator, SpOtting each dust-stutted
citizen for his regular peso. We shall talk to
him like father. The FivinS Cloud must
mash out these fyinE clouds Of dust more eff
fectually, or we shall purchase large piece
OF chalk and chalk him out \ dollar on the
sole Of his boot.

THE New FOUNDRY.-The new foundry Of
Herrick and McCurdy is fast approaching
completion. The lathes, two in number,
have been set. and are already at work. \
blacksmith forge has been put up; and men
were Yesterday at work finishing the cupola.
This will soon be ready for use. The fan
has already been set, and the institution will
be ready to commence operations in day or
TWO. In the room where the castings are to
be made, We noticed that 4 large crane has
been erected, one which is apparently strong
enough to lift casting weighing tons from
their beds after they have been cast. The
pattern room IS up stairs, in the second story,
and directly over the machine-Shop.
lathe is now being manufactured in the shop
below, to be used up there.
LEOPOLD Co.-This company has let a
contract TO a couple Of young miners to sink
its shaft, which was twenty-five feet deep,
some fifty feet deeper. They have been At
work couple Of weeks, and have got their
Job about half done that is, they have sunk
about twenty-five feet since they commenced,
which makes the entire depth about nifty feet.
The shaft was commenced some time ago,
and IS situated about twenty rods north from
the Clinton < HubbS shaft, AID about half
way between that and the shaft sunk by the
Beaver Company. There are very good indi-
cations on the top Of the ground, and so there
are in the shaft, but the company is much
behind its neighbOrS in the development OF
its claim.
ANOTHER MILL.-We learn that Messrs.
Ing < Paine are about to erect 4 new eight
stamp quartz mill, on American Flat, just
beyond Reeds mill. Most Of the machinery
is on the ground. The boiler and part Of the
machinery arrived Yesterday. There are sew
eral tunnels down in that vicinity which have
1,ra',- cF-r,.l- 10 III and this
has in consequence become 4 good situation
for quartz mills. None but mill men can ap-
preciate the value Of good supply OF clear
water in working rock. These gentlemen
seem to be proceeding with energy and dis
patch in the commencement Of operations,
and we look for a speedy completion Of the
work.
TAYLOR CoMPASY.-This company has
suspended operations on the shaft which it
was sinking BY the side Of the road just be-
low the mouth of the Belcher tunnel, on ac-
count of water; and is now sinking another
one west OF that, and farther up the HILL
This we are informed is an old claim having
been located and worked in 60. There are
good indications in the shape of pieces of
quartz found in this new shaft. The Super
intendent thinks that he will be able to sink
down here as much as 4 hundred and fifty
feet at least without coming to enough water
to prevent operations. II he succeeds IN
doing so we have no doubt but that he will
develope good ledge.
KEYSTONE CO.-This company has been
at work all this week timbering its shaft.
That work is nearly completed, and will
probably be all finished to-day. Then, we
understand, the company will commence
again to sink down. This shaft is now about
10 feet deep, and has been sunk all that dis
lance without any inconvenience from water,
while around in the vicinity are several shafts,
not so deep as this one, where work has been
suspended on account of the inability of the
workmen TO keep the water out without the
aid Of powerful machinery.
Echo CoHPANY.-This company is at work
running an incline down on its ledge. The
work is being carried down at the same an
gle as the ledge. It's depth at present is about
los feet. Some very fine rich looking quartz
is being taken out. In some places the ledge
is only two or three feet wide in other places
il widens out until it is FIVE or six feet in
thickness. Undoubtedly this company has
good ledge, and we believe that after little
further development it will be able to take
out plenty of pay rock.
New BonER.-The Sapphire Mill COM
company has, within few days received
new boiler which will soon be put up and
used to generate steam, wherewith to run
the engine which is now being used. 1t is
very large one, perfectly new, and has just
been brought from California. A new fur
mace front has been also procured, and the
mill when this new machinery is added, will
not be wanting for motive power.
TEANs-The streets were crowded this fore
noon with teams from California. These
teams come loaded with every conceivable
article of merchandise and traffc-goods for
the supply of our merchants, machinery for
our mines, and fowls, vegetables, fruits,
flowers and other farm products for every
body.
HAY.-A number Of trains arrived in Vir-
GINA this forenoon from Sierra Valley loaded
