alive to Excelsior from our old friend
Charley Parker, whom we had the pleasure
of meeting this morning:
MILLS.
The California Mill, of eight stamps, is
nearly completed, and will be crushing
ore in less than ten days. This mill is a
most substantial one, with steam as mo-
tive power. The usual gold quartz mills
are not using pans, but this mill will be
supplied with six of Wheeler's improved
pans. The ore to be reduced will be from
the company's claim, the California"
and from the "Indian Boy" The boiler
and engine for the R. NJ. & Co.'s mill has
been shipped from Sacramento, and will
be at Summit City and at work in thirty
days time. Mr.. N. w. Winton, the Su-
perintendent, has been driving business
with extraordinary dispatch since it was
found hat the old water mill Of the CON-
pany was wholly inadequate for the labor
expected. The machinery for Goss s.
Lambert's new mill, to be situated in
Bloody Run, below the Enterprise claim
which will supply the mill with ore-is
e route, will soon arrive, and be erected
with all possible dispatch. Several other
mills are contracted for, and the erection
thereof in contemplation, although it IS
very doubtful whether any will arrive this
season.
MINES.
The Enterprise is the leading claim, and
each blast that is made in the ledge shows
richer ore than above. Parker assures us
that it is not q ledge, but a huge quarry
of gold that a drill will penetrate at every
blow from the sledge. Some of the old
locations, the Excelsior, Pacific, Parker,
Wisconsin, and Reporter, are being work.
ed, and show much better in mineral than
has ever been expected by the owners. OF
the new locations, some have developed
fine lodges, which may prove equally as
rich as the famous Enterprise. Among
them are the Old Boy, Gibralter. Roebuck,
Winnemucca, Little Chief, and Shooting
TOLL ROADS.
The Enterprise Toll road between Pol
ly's Station on the Dutch Flat route and
Summit City is being rapidly constructed
with about forty men thereon. The
Beardsley Toll road connecting Enterprise
and Summit City, is the most direct route
between the two towns, and is also being
rapidly. The Virginia Toll road
from Webber's Station to Summit City is
in fine condition and a large mount Of
travel is passing over it daily.
TOWNS.
Summit City is now the chief town, and
a number Of large buildings are being
for occupation the coming winter.
Wightman's Camp is also a flourishing
place. and in the spring many buildings
for business purposes will be erected.
Enterprise City has been laid out near the
dam Of that mine, and a few buildings
have been erected, with more in prospec-

growth, but Summit City will
doubtless be the place Of the District,
although Enterprise City bids fair to rival
the oldest town.

ARRIVAL OF GBN. CoNNoR.-The re-
given to General Conner yester-
day, by the officers Of Camp Douglas and
of Salt Lake City, was q grand
affair, and one fully appreciative of the
neritorious and worthy soldier to whom
i was rendered. The General was escort
ed into camp by detachments of Co. C&
F, Nevada Cavalry, under command OF
Captain Calder, and citizens in carriages.
The procession was led by the Camp Brass
Band. On his arrival into Camp he was
with a B~rigadier-G Generals salute
by the artillery, Lieut.. Honeyman in COM
mand, and the 9th Infantry were paraded
at I" Present Arms" After a few moments
in Camp, the procession escorted the
General to S. L. City, after which they all
