Flat. The deepest one is the old shaft Of
the knicScrhOcker company. Operations on
this Shaft which was sunk from the tunnel
we're suspended when II reached its present,
depth, on account OF the influx Of water The
shaft is now, therefore. down to the water

be ready for operation. The frame Is nearly
ready for erection. and would have been COM

been delayed by the uou-arrival Of the rcqui-
site amount Of timber. The engine and
part of the other machinery has arrived. and
the boiler and remainder OF the machinery is

az two. The engine Is 4 massive and heavy
one Of iO-hOrSe power, and was built at the
Nayysvil,e Foundry. The pit ioc its foundo-

the pump-bo5 has already been excayated.

the work in all its parts Is in more or less

have 4 new ho,r, added 10 its glrcady large
list O; public houses. Ii will be built on lot
opposite 70 Browns lumber ward. This is
further down than most Of the town has been
built heretofore, but from present appearances
tGiS part OF the Flat is destined to be soon
Tie centre q the town, which Is sprinSing up
along the American Flat road. One reason
why this part Of the Flat has not been more
built upon is, the title to the ground has been
IN dispute, and people do not like to build
where they are not confident OF their right To

IL 4 Fvs>.-Dan dc Qu:llc, local reporter
vi the Enterprise, is one of the irreyerent
BObemianS Of whom we spoke YESTERDAY.
IniqUi,y IS his regular gait and iyrevereuce is
his natural style. Copying m article from
the News Of Yesterday about the Catholic
Church, he mutilated the same by striking
ol: the clerical title Of Father O'Reil.y; flip
PANTY ,crning him O'Riley," rs one would
>av odd Lovejov" or Wash Wright" For
this irrevereRt contempt Of the clergy, we
understand he had his bUgie busted this
morning by one Of the church militant. We
should hate to have Dan on our roo; in
thunder storm.
DARDANELLE CoNPANY.-This cumpany's
WORKS, under the superintendent Of Mr..
Chamberlain, is being rapidly completed.
lac frame for the hosting works is erected,
ihs engine and boiler are set, and the main
:hing which Vet remains 20 be done IS to set
The reels The work on them is somewhat
retarded on account Of the delay which the
company SlStains in waiting ;0r castings,
watch it Is necessary to have before the work
can proceed. NJ. Chamberlain intends TO get
the machinery ready 20 work some time next
week. The engine IS of 2O-horse power, and
the other machinery IS correSPoGd!ngly heavy
aud strong.
PRIDE OF AMERICA COMPANY is getting
along :;uely with its work. The Grii; which
j: is now running is thirty feet in length; and
the workmen are every day taking OUT more
or less quartz which i found mixed with the
other rock. The company will reach the
ledge in running ! short distance further,
Ne noticed some very excellent looking
pieces Of rock among I lot OF specimens
which had been taken from the drirt, and are
convinced that As the feeders to the ledge
can produce As good quartz Is IS being taken
out now and then from, the ledge Itself must
be very rich.
SrRrCK MoRE WArER.-The Oueoto Com
pany struck large quantity Of water in its
tunnel couple OF DAYS ago. There WIS a
stream of several inches running from the
tunnel, before this was struck and with this
addition 10 its former quantity this COM
panv has now the largest quantity of
water Of aay Of the claims in its vicinity.
4 good deal OF quartz is found in the rock
through which the water PUSHES into the tun-
mel. Some think this is 4 ledge, and /: is the
intention of the company 20 run DRIFT along
it 10 prospect it more thoroughly.
GENTLE ANNIE Co.-This company has
sunk its shaft 10 the depth Of l5j feet. Il
keeps It timbered all the way as fast as it
sinks. The ground is Of such 4 character
that the work can be carried on very rapidly,
and SO !, Is, for the company keeps work
going on night and DAY. The hosting from
the SHAFT IS done by a windlaSs, but the work
is becoming very heavy now, since the shaft
is getting 50 deep. The company needs
wh!m TO do this part OF its work, and we IN
derS;and that it intends TO erect one soon.
uvHEs K NoRToS.-This company keeps
steadily At work on its claim, and has now
got is shaft squared down about ninety feet.
This rock IS much better to work out now
than il has been for some time, and the COM
p7ny is sinking at the rate of about four feet
ne- dlv. The old round shaft which the
company is squaring down was los feet deep,
and therefore this one will have 10 be carried
down about eighteen feet further TO be as
deep as that one was.

however being done at grading and preparing
70 lay the foundation, but the character Of
the ground is such, where the mill is TO be
built, that very little work is required to pre-
