The meeting then adjourned.
To MILL MEN.-Mr. r. Hughes has
opened a shop in Gold Hill, for the manu-
facture of screens for batteries OF quartz
mills. He has a stamping machine Of his
own manufacture, which is, we are in
formed, the largest one on the Coast with
which he can u out screens of from
four inches square to the full size Of a
sheet of Russia iron, and of such extreme
ineness that there are 204 holes in every
square inch-coarser ones are made as
desired. Mr.. Hughes is the inventor of a
new principle in punching screens, and has
applied for letters patent. The holes j N
his screens are arranged in diamond
form, whereas in other screens in use they
are put in lows or squares. BY his inn
proved arrangement of them he is enabled
to put u great many more holes Of the
same size in the same space without in
creasing the weakness of the iron. Mr..
Hughes is now supplying the Piute, I'm
perial, Rhode Island, Gold Hill and seve-
raj other mills in this county with his SUI
perior article, which is giving great salts
faction. See advertisement.
