Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1865-03-21
THE EVENING NEWS.


zens are becoming as fast as is possible
seif-reliant. and the Gold Hill Foundry,
below Gold Hill, is fair illustration of
the fact. Yesterday we paid u brief visit
TO the above named concern. The foun-
dry building Is forty by sixty feet in size,
aud the machine-ShOp is thirty by forty
feet, and OF two stories, in the upper por-
ton of which is commodious pattern
shop, containing two wood lathes, and
other necessary tools for the manufactur-
ing Of the numerous patterns required to
cast the various complicated kinds of ma
ehinery and gearing required for our quartz
mllls, hosting work., and other mechani-
cal purposes. Although the foundry has
been in operation but ten months, yet q
very large quantity of patterns have al
ready accumulated, of @ variety OF design
that Is bewlldering. In the lower stor,
is the machine-shop, containing masnif
cent latheS, and Borden engine of ten
horse power. with boiler forty inches in
diameter. This engine, though but con-
Stunning half cord uf wood daily. does
the work of the entire establishment, turn
ing four lathe~, driving fan thirty inches
in diameter, and working the bellows at
the forge. In this room are two latheS
for iron working, and here we observed
one OF the finest pieces of work ever doEe
IN Nevada. Il was a screw, TO be used
for hosting the pump over the shaft of the
Imp rial mine, and is being manufactured
for the Gold Hill Drainage Company. 1t
IS eighteen feet and one fourth in length.
three inches in diameter. and with thread
smoothly cut of one-fourth Of an inch
pitch. and Is the incest piece of work we
ever saw, being devoid OF pick or flaw.
Adjoining is the Foundry room. which is
large, light, and amply fitted for the pur-
pose. Near the east end is the furnace,
four feet in diameter and fourteen feet in
length. capable Of heating six or eight
tons Of iron at blast. Through the room
are scattered TASKS" of all kinds and
varie.ie>, some to hold the component
parts Of Wheeler'S pan, some shoes and
dies for crushing ore, some the heavy
gearing of the steam ergine-in fact
almost every known use that iron may be
put TO. Near, and to the south of the fur
mace, is the core" oven. built in the
side OF the bank, and producing the finest
and smoothest bake of the article we
have ever seen. In this room We saw
very new and peculiar casting, called an
Egg Retort." Ii is precisely the 81 pc
of an egg. weighs 500 pounds, is 81 Ieet
long and y feet wide, and will be set in
the range on end; the ire being introduced
at the top, gradually heats the entire re-
tort. and regular heat is thus obtained,
which requires but little fuel to maintain,
and the 'Ssgsing' of the sides of the retort,
so common to the old square style is en-
tirely obviated. The new idea is good
one and should be generally adopted. The
foundry at this time IS running about 20
men. consisting of moulders, pattern ma
kerS, machinists. blacksmiths and labo-ers.
and Is under the superintendance OF Mr..
5. McCurdy one o: the proprietors, and to
whom we are inieb ID for many courteSles
extended to US. IN going through the
establishment We were impressed with
the business appearance OF everything
pertaining thereto, and should be glad
to have other home manufactures equally
as prosperous and well managed.

REESE RIVER BuLL1ox.-Duriug the

through Virginia en- route for San Fran

for Austin, but little more than year
ling-for had Virginia in early days done
but half as we'll the Juror created in Cali

Reese River mines are proving so good.
