terQay we Vlslteo tulS inning claim, who
is situated in the southern portion of Golt
Hill District. Five years ago a larg,
number of claims were located on tn,
southeastern slope of the hill. and shaft,
we've sunk, cutting large bodies of water
that prevented the working Of the mines
attempted to be prospec,ed on account o.
the impecuniosity Of stockholders. In
March, 1861, the present Caledonia Tun.
mel Company was organized, embracing
several claims, and asserting title to ten
distinct lodges, the ground being bounded
by the Overman Company on the north,
and the Baltimore American at the South,
and comprising a location Of five thou.
sand feet, embracing the ground from the
ravine where the present dump-pile is, to
the apex Of the hill far up from the fiat.
The tunnel was commenced in 1861, and
up to this date work has been constant,
with hardly a weeks cessation. For a
distance Of 1000 feet the hill has been
penetrated. cutting three lodges. The
first, at a distance of l.400 feet. is q ledge
cut which certainly resembles the regular
Comstock of Gold Hill proper. On the
east a heavy clay wall, at least eight feet
in thickness, and on the west a mass of
~porphyry. afford indications that would
be hattering even for barren quartz. This
ledge was cut some two years since. but
was very narrow at that point in the tun-
mel. \ drift was run south some five
hundred feet, and although a large body
Of quartz was found. it was mostly bar
rem. About six weeks since, another drift
was run to the north on the seam, which.
in a distance of ffty-ive feet, has widened
to n fine mass Of pay ore, at least nine feet
in width, and increasing in good general
appearance as the drift is driven or the
ledge. About fifty tons Of ore have now
been earthed, and will doubtless work at
least $50 per % by mill process, as the
aSsayed value is much higher. In a short
time this ore will be crushed. and the CAL
edonia will realize its first bar of bullion.
The character OF the ore from the first
ledge is evidently very similar to all the
ore from the Comstock lode, and we saw
a large amount that showed silver sulphu-
rets in a crystalized formation. The fore
man, Mr.. r. Kavanagh, furnished US with
all necessary information. and we could
hardly avoid partaking Of his exhilaration
at viewing the really fine ledge that will
doubtless prove very valuable to the lucky
stockholders.

LOOK Our.-It has become a frequent
custom of late to bury bodies of deceased
persons without any ceremony. 10 par
ties who aid in such burials we would say
that a fine of $3.50 is imposed by law for
such ofFense, unless the certificate Of the
attendant physician be given or a Coron-

be enforced in the second instance.

Went OvER.-The carman ofthe Crown
Point Company last night ran out his car
10 the end of the track on that company's
high dump with such speed that the brake
would not check its velocity in time to
save it from going over. So over she
went, reforming divers revolutions down
the bank and bringing up in the middle OF
Telegraph street in a very dilapidased con-
di,ion. No one was hurt.
