YELLOW JAcxEr-NEw SHArT.-Yes-
terday, we visited the new shaft of the
Yellow Jacket company, which is being
sunk south of the present works. The
contractors, Messrs. Young s. Smell, who
have agreed to sink the same a distance
of three hundred feet, have made good
progress since our last visit. although the
last sixty feet has been driven through
a solid ledge, requiring blasting. At this
time the depth Of two hundred and fifty
i've feet has been reached. and the bottom
shows indications Of softer ground. The
timbering has been done in excellent shape,
the massive fourteen-inch beams standing
square and plumb. and will doubtless re-
ouire a long time TO warp or render I'M
safe, These timbers are put in in sets,
Ave feet apart, each set requiring three
thousand feet Of lumber ; by calculating
that the shat, will be sunk one thousand
feet, it will be seen that the enormous
amount Of six hundred thousand feet OF
lumber will be required for the shaft
alone. To give a proper idea OF this huge
excavation, we will state that the shaft is
of four compartments, three for hosting
ore, SKI feet each in the clear, and the
other, for pumping purposes, is 5x5 feet.
The work is now being done by q twenty
horse power locomotive engine. which,
when six hundred feet depth has been at.
tanned, will give place to staunch and
massive machinery for both hosting ore
and freeing the mine Of water. At three
hundred feet, a first level set Of timbers
will be put in, and a shat, run to the north
20 connect with the old works, and will
doubtless GU, q fine body Of ore which
will of course be worked. The contrac-
tors are pushing the work with all posi-
Die CELEBRITY. and are doing it in an excel
lent manner. Eighteen men are employed,
which number will be increased when the
work may require it.
CAUGHT AT Ir.-The editor Of the Car
son appeal was arrested On Tuesday-so

ting courts at Carson City, and we con-
slider they did well in discharsing u
worthy contemporary. (Harry Nightingale
and Lance Mighels were witnesses for the
prosecution. and George L. Wasson and
Warren Gibson for the defense. The wit
nesses for the defense cleared the prisoner,

OHice"-is in Gold Hill. The citizens
of this town are warned to beware OF this

easily be recognized by his wearing a
plug-hat, a pair Of saddle-oags, fne black
Clothes, red whiskers, dark black hair,
and a pair of awful spurs. He also says
(ra,her simultaneously, that he lives IN
Carson City, and that Governor Nye and
