company, which is located on South
street, between E and F, a little south o
east Of the old shaft. and yet further soutl
OF the claim of the Monmouth and War
saw company. About ten acres OF con
tiguous ground has been secured, and al
ready several buildings have been moved
from the ground. The entire surveys
have been completed, and next Monday
ground will be broken for the erection Of
the buildings, and for the foundations fol
the erection Of the massive machinery ne.
cessary to a proper comdletion of the stu
pendous operations of sinking the new
shaft, which will be sunk TO the depth Of
probably a thousand feet. The size oil
the shaft will be of tour compartments,
substantially timbered with l2-inch TIM
bers, in the new sett" style, which is
vastly superior TO the old cribbing man
ner, so generally used in the early history
of silver mining in Nevada. These tim
bers will be framed by Hochalzer s Den
ver's patent Trainer, which has been found
TO work admirably at the old mine. The
building will be 100 by GO feet in size, and
80 feet in height, mostly composed of the
integral portions of the building now
erected, and intended for the purposes
that the present work will cover. For
the present, q within will be used for
sinking, but will in q short time be super
seeded by q donkey engine, which will in
turn give way to the hosting gear intend
cd for permanent use. and which will con-
sist of the following described machinery {:
First, q beam engine of 200 horse power,
with twenty six.inch cylinders, and six
feet stroke of piston-rod. The steam for
this immense power engine will be gener-
nted from six boilers, each sixteen feet in
length and ffty-two inches in diameter,
with thirty-six four-inch lues each. This
monster engine will be used to run n
heavy Cornish l4-inch pump, of the "lift
and plunge" pattern, and one large reel.
Three other engines, with cylinders OF ten-
inch size and three feet stroke OF piston
rod. supplied with steam from the afore-
mentioned boilers, will each work q set of
gearing for the three hosting .shNts.
These engines are all Of the reverse
pattern, and will jointly be capable Of
hosting a vast amount of ore daily. This
immense amount Of machinery will all be
running in a few months, rs the larger por-
ton thereof Is now on the ground, and
the balance on the road. The enterprise
is gigantic, and aptly illustrates the faith
Of heavy capitalists in the richness Of our
silver lodes at q great depth. We are in
debted to Frank Denver, ESQ, for the
above statistical information.
4 POWERFUL TEST. - The Yellow
Jacket Hose boys tell us that there was
even a more powerful strain on their hose
at the trial day before yesterday, than we
stated in our mention of the testing Of it.
After taking water from the plug opposite
the News Office and carrying it down
through 1000 feet of hose to opposite the
Rhode Island mill. they took the hose
from the plug TO which it was attached
and connected the other end TO the plug
down by the Rhode Island mill, and put
Il 6ve-eighth inch nozzle on the upper end
and turned on q full head of water. They
threw n stream l20 feet up the street, from
the end Of the 1000 feet OF hose. Who
could ask for u more thorough trial than
this was: The nozzle was as much as
100 feet above the plug where the hose
took water, and consequently there was q
very heavy strain on the hose near the
plug from the mere weight of the water
itself, to say nothing of the additional
strain caused by forcing it through the
small nozzle. These hose were manufac-
tured by NJ. NJ. Cook * Son. corner of
Battery and Broad streets, San Francisco,
out of California tanned leather.
DESrIsrRY.- One Of the peculiar
branches of cunning workmanship that
has been most successfully cultivated in
the United States, dentistry ranks among
the first, not only as an ornamental but
useful science. DR.. Cornwall, whose
office is nearly opposite the office Of Wells,
Fargo & Co., Virginia, is an excellent
workman, and from personal experience
we have no hesitation in pronouncing him
a first operator, whose skill is I'M
doubted. and whose charges are always
moderate.
AT IT AGAIN.-The jury in the case Of
the Burning Moscow VS.. the Ophir failing
TO agree, u new trial is ordered, which will
be commenced on Monday next at 9 A. NJ.
II will not take many more OF these trials
to make the costs amoun to more than
both claims are worth. If the jury fail to
agree next time, it would be the cheapest
way for the companies TO give their claims
to the lawyers and so finish up the job
Union.
LOT OwSERs.-Wc again call the at
tention Of lot owners in Gold Hill to the
necessity of securing title for the same
from the United States. The map of Gold
Hill is on file at the County Recorders
office, and Messrs. Stevens & Fish (who
have their office therc) are prepared TO
furnish all information on the subject, and
draw the necessary papers for parties de-
string to obtain title. Read their card IN
another column.
FROM EXCELSIOR Wood knight. Esq,
returned to Virginia las, evening from o
brief visit TO this new district. Mr.. knight
informs US that the affairs of the district
are most fattering, and that the emigra-
ton thence is very large, many prospect
ors arriving every day. The prospects for
a populous town in that place are very
fat,ering, and preparations for speedy
erection of buildings are being made daily.
OLD GLoRY.-Last evening, between
6 and half-past ! o'clock, the flag which
floats from the 75-foot staff on Mount Da-
wilson appeared as q literal flame; the
sun from behind the mountain firing the
folds into enchanting splendor. During
the time we have noted, the attention OF a
very large number Of the people Of Gold
Hill and Virginia was attracted by the
thrilling spectacle. There is but one BAN
ner of beauty.
New OrFIcERs.-At the first regular
semi-annual meeting of the Olympic Club,
held at their hall last Wednesday evening,
the following gentlemen were elected off,
