of its stamps and the puffs from its steam
pipe, started up last Monday, after its late
suspension. We were in a hurry to no.
tice this q, the time, till a little experience
showed how the improvements worked.
for the introduction Of which the mill
stopped. Now, however, we have no
hesitation in saying that success attends
all the operations Of this mill. The foun-
dations for batteries and engines, Of which
some doubts existed from the nature ofthe
ground as to their being made as solid as
might be desired, are Of a most permanen,
character, and as unyielding to any pres
sure as though based upon the rock of our
mountains. W. H. Armstrong, the mill
wright who superintendent all these I'M
provements, maintained his reputation as
a most excellent planner and workman.
The finished appearance Of the work abou.
the batteries in particular attracted our
attention. Fifteen stamps of $50 pounds
each, here play in their guides with an
ease and accuracy of drop very desirable
to all mill men 70 attain, as danger oil
bursting Of bosses and other arrangements
about the stamps are avoided. They now
crush easily thirty tons of rock per twenty
four hours. as much as the number OIL
pans they now have in the mill can prop
erly amalgamate. They could rush heiI
forty tons in the same period, if their
working facilities otherwise were common
surate with the work of their batteries,
The engine, too, which we saw at its new
"posish," seemed to work with an ease Of
motion and as little apparent exertion on
its part, as though it had never done any
thing else since it was made, nor ever en-
pected to. Good for the Eclipse.
BRlNXNER's REVOLVING ROASTING Fur
NAcE.-We saw Mr.. Brinkner's mechani-
cal roasting furnace, quite a new inven-
ton, passing our Office the day before
yesterday z o'clock \. N.Y. We are in
formed tina, the inventor, Mr.. B., who Is
now in Virginia City, is going to set it up
in the Central Mill, where it will soon be
seen at work. There are already some OF
these furnaces in use in California n
Mexico, and We hope that its use here
will demonstrate 10 our people that 1t IS
quite as efficient for the purposes designed
as claimed by the inventor. No doubt
there will be II great interest manifested in
seeing il "operate," whenever 1t shall be
set up and placed in due working condi-
ton. We said long ago that the looming
man. was he who should invent a great
time and labor saving process for reducing
ores. We will give our readers timely
notice of the complete business workings
of the Roasting Furnace, and how they
may secure and improve an opportunity
to look at it and its products, when the
Central Mill has the thing ready and ram
paging. These Furnaces are now manu-
featured after an improved mode of con-
ssruc,ion, which greatly simplihes their
operation, and afford a much larger oXy-
dizing surface to the action Of heat and
atmosphere. The weight Of a Furnace,
nine feet long by four feet in diameter,
does not exceed one ton. The improved
Furnace will soon be more fully described
and illustrated in the columns OF the Min
ing and Scientific Press.
DISAPPOINTED ExPEcTArIoNs.-On the
same nigh, that Charley Humphreys was
stopped on the road above Silver City by
W foo,-pads, the same party, for there
were two Of them. tired to enter Smiths
mill, nearly opposite the Piute House.
This mill is working arastras, and is driven
BY one Of those high over.shot wheels that
one sees so cften along the road IN going
TO Silver City. Very few men are re-
ouired about these mills-in this one re-
ferred 10, but one man was present al the
time, and the robbers undoubtedly thought
thew could steal in upon him, oyerpower
him or hold him in a state Of suspension
by the magne,izing influence of a pistol
at his head, and then proceed to rob the
mill Of its amalgam. The expectations of
the wicked, however. very often come TO
naught for a most formidable defender
of the mill appeared in the shape Of a huge
dog, whose fierce aspect, together with the
man, put upon his guard by the watch
fulness of the dog, caused the robbers 10
nause. deliberate for a few moments, and
then beat a hasty retreat. Well, is there
10 be no end 10 these attempts At robbery :
BOARD OF HEALTH. - On Saturday,
June 10th, the Board Of Health, for the
Town of Gold Hill, purpose making
their frs. visi, to the premises Of the citi-
zens thereof, and hope to find that they
have all cellars, sewers, sinks and places
for deposit Of oFal. &C., in good order,
tina, in making their report to.the proper
authorities, they may be able to represent
the citizens of Gold Hill as naturally a
cleanly people: As the warm weather is
now upon us. it is the duty Of the Board
to see that the Town is pu. in the best
possible sanitary condition, and if they
can have the cooperation Of the Town
Trustees, il can be placed so, that in the
event that we should be visited by an
epidemic, it may fall as lightly as possible.
wA1ER-pIpE BuRsr.-We spoke yes

lower part Of the town, examining "water-
works generally. He found the water
pipe about an hundred feet above the
lower hydrant burst-nearly opposite the
Catholic Church-and was very successful

lamity to whole cities.
