construction, is GO by 100 feet, and being
built in the most substantial manner. An
adjoining house, so by 60 feet, is also
building, in connection, for a boiler room.
In the main building there will be four
engines-three TO be used for the purpose
of hosting rock, and the main beam
engine for the pump but for the present
u connection will be made with one Of the
smaller engines for that purpose. The
estimated power Of all the engines is 600
horse. Frank Denver, the contractor and
builder Of these works, assures US that the
entire thing will be finished and in COM
plete running order by the lst OF January
next. A shaft is now being sunk inside
the building, with four compartments
) by 6 feet each. II is the intention OF
the Superintendent, Samuel L. Curtis, to
sink this shaft 1000 feet in depth. A con-
tract has already been let to sink $40 feet
which will reach their first level-for
Sl4 so per foot. at which point a drift
will be started for their ledge. The esti-
mated cost of the building and machinery
is figured at $3.50. 900, and when complet-
cd will be one of the best works of its
kind on the Pacific coast. Near the main
building a fine brick chimney has been
built. 1856 feet in hight, containing up.
wards Of $50, 900 bricks, into which all the
Aues Of the different boilers will be con-
Quoted. 1t is estimated, by the knowing
ones, that this manner Of conducting away
the smoke will be a saving Of over fifty
per cent. on the style heretofore used.
An examination Of the works will repay
tenfold the trouble Of a visit TO them.
Frank Denver. the general contractor, and
s. I. Curtis, the Superintendent of the
Savage mine, under whose energetic man
agement and control this work is going
on, are entitled to great praise for the
faithful manner in which il is conducted.
CAUGHT AT Ir.-There has been n good
deal of petty thieving going on for a year
past, about the neiShborhood of Gold Hill
and American City. Many Of the mining
companies on the outskirts Of the Com
stock ledge, a year or two ago, had cabins
and windlass hosting apparatus con-
structed on their claims, and, by reason Of
the hard times, after suspending work on
their claims, left their cabins and other
property on the premises, trusting i'll the
general honesty Of the "honest miner "
and prospector, that when the articles
were needed the owners might know where
TO find them-where they were left. We
have heard Of several instances, out at
American Flat, where the entire tools, in
Guiding the bellows, Of blacksmiths shops,
were stolen in a single night; others,
where stoves and other cabin furniture
were stolen, and even cabins themselves
were carried off. II is time these petty
thieves were caught and severely dealt
with and one Of them was caught yester-
day. and is now having his trial in Judge
Halls court, as our paper goes to press.
His name is, as he gave it to officer Bee
gan, who arrested him, Joshua Ward.
The charge against him is stealing several
hundred feet of lumber from the shaft of
the Mount Washington mine, on the east
side Of Gold Cannon, not far from the
Succor mill. Petty thieves are the mean
IS. curses in a community. Look out for
them!
MAouIRE's OPERA HOUSE was again
filed last evening to witness the burlesque
"Mazeppa." For the peculiar kind OF

not fail to see it. The piece will be re-
peated tonight, with a rich bill in con-
n~ection. Otto Burbank. Maggie Brewer,
Bill Moss, the Brays, Mabbott and the
Miles, together with the "shape," will fill
the bill tonight. Let's all go and have a
good laugh and be happy. It's Saturday
night.
TRucxEE DIsrRIcr.-Mr. Osborne, just
in from this district, showed us some very
rich argentiferous galena rock which
looked Us though it was rich in silver.
This rock is from the claim known as the
Pacific series, into which the company are
at present running a tunnel. Mr.. Osborne
speaks highly of the recent developments
of these mines, and thinks that ere long
they will create great excitement among
our capitalists. We hope so.
ORPHANS FAIR was well attended last
evening, and everything went off very
pleasantly to all the visitors present. The
dancing was kept up to a late hour. Many
a person went away from the fair with q
lighter heart and purse, but it is oil right.

gre, it. Go tonight, and help the lady
managers in their laudable purpose.

REPAIRISG.-The old and dangerous
sidewalk on the east side of south c street,
Virginia, near the Crystal Peak House. Is

about time. There are other spots near
there that we would call the attention OF
Chief Birdsall to, who, if he will attend to
them, will confer n favor upon the citizens
in that portion Of the city.
A BuLxHRAD.-Ofhcer Birdsall might
jus, as well put up a fence across Taylor
street at once as 10 fill the rock in on It
