DELAYED on the road by some oversight.
The present appearance of this c~ompany's

pect, Judging from the amalgam now in
the pans. So confident are the owners of
this mine, they are determined to run their
mill all winter. The. Excelsior Company
are negotiating with parties there from
New York to work their claim. commenc-
ing Immediately if the bargain now on foot
is contaminated and if the satisfactory
arrangements are made a 30-stamp mill
will be erected as soon as the material can
be transported into the district. The
Keiser Hotel, near this ledge, is nearly
completed, and will be in full blast in a
few days. From the Enterprise claim we
learn that the frame portion of their mill,
being built by Messrs. Goss s. Lambard,
is now completed. and that the machinery
is now being as rapidly put into position
as the circumstances will at present per-
nit, the parties feeling assured that they
will be crushing rock inside of forty days.
The Eastern Ledge" located IN the east

900 feet, was sold u few days since to n

made, but we are unable to learn the
names OF them. The Rattlesnake ledge,
situated east of this and near the famous
Reporter ledge, is being worked at pres
ent by the company, and shows n fine
ledge of quartz, with free gold in It and
rich sulphurets of other paying mineral.
There are at present in the district some
two hundred miners, who are mostly all
hard At work on their different claims.
The snow at present Is scant W feet, and
is rapidly melting away. No difficulty is
experienced now in working the mines
here or in getting around on account OF
the state Of the weather or the condition
of the travel. The citizens of Summit
City have amused themselves considerably
lately in practicing upon snow shoes. The
ladies there have joined the "sterner sex"
in this sport. We learn that some Of
them have become experts in that line.
Private parties have also been numerous.
So far this season the good people there
appear TO be having heaps of fun. Well,
we wish them joy, for we know them
most all, and love our friends and rejoice
in their happiness.

ORPHANS FAIR.-This Fair was fairly
attended las. evening, and kept up to a
hour, all parties hating to leave such
a pleasant place for the spending Of an
evening. Fancy articles went off with a
rush, rattle tickets lively; but oh, that
lunch Of Mrs. Briarly was-well, we can
do it Justice" are TOO small {" but
the punch of Mrs. Judge Meagher, why,
We gods, what a dish for a poor, thirsty
soul. But, dear reader, il you want to
see u lot of your fellow-cisizcns happy, go
to the Fair tonight, and you will see
whet q fine effect it has on everybody
when they are helping the poor orphan.
Observation-Disclosures road, c street,
Virginia, is a good thing in the center;
needs beveling on the edge too much
quick down grade from sidewalk to street
edge. Been requested to mention it by
several parties who toppled over the preci-
pice thus formed. and who sworc that It
was a device of Chief Of Police, to make
out a case of drunk against men who
had the, the, the rheumatism merely.
OUTSIDE TRADE.-A large lot Of gro
ceries, wines and liquors was shipped by
Kennedy & Mallon. Virginia, this morn
ing, for the Humboldt country. Quite a
trade is springing up between that section
of our State and this, from the fact that
purchasers there can procure.all the neces-
saries of life here on better terms and ad-
vantage than over the mountains.
ACCIDENTAL man named Charles Nc
earthly had his leg broken below the knee
last night. in the Savage mine. The suf-
iering man was, we believe, timbering at
the time. He was taken TO his home, IN
the northern part Of Virginia, by his
friends. No serious results are expected
from the painful injury received.
NEARLY FISIsHED.-W We are glad to
see tina, the building intended for the use
of the Gold Hill Hose Company No. 2, is
about ready for use. We hope that our
fire boys will have it ixed up in style by
our citizens. and have a place that they
will feel proud Of when their friends call
upon them.
THOUGH the health officer and police de-
partner, Of San Francisco have used the
utmost secresy. i, has nevertheless leaked
out that cholera in an aggravated form has
appeared in that city, we of Gold Hill are
peculiarly fortunate in being able to pur-
chase antidotes and remedies OF purest ma
terial, at Deans Drug Store.
MrrroS IL DANGER.-A lot OF one thou
sand head Of sheep, which left California
some time since, and belonging to Messrs.
Treat 4 S,raus, are supposed, BY their non:
arrival here in due time, TO be " weather
bound somewhere in the mountains. We
hone not, as we cant go very well without
our mutton At this season Of the year.
