FoRr HoMBsrRAD.-In OUT perambula-
tons about town last evening, intent on
our work for the coming day, we cast our
eyes heavenward. We confess we should
do this of,ener than taken place with us,
for in this one instance we got an item
oy so doing, which, 10 a local. is a God
send. and tina, was the building going up
on this elevated spot. The frame was all
up, securely pu, together, braeed with
iron bars and rods, and looked rs though
i, might stand for a century. The main
hall will be 50 by &C feet; wings 10 by 80
feet, intended for various purposes, as sa-
loon, etc, are also attached. Until after
the 4,h Of July, the whole Of this structure
will only embrace one room as It were
that is, no partitions will be erected. The
building is two stories in height, with a
basement extending under the whole sur
face space above. Altogether this a con-
spicuOus object.
UNION MILL.-I, is truly gratifying 10
notice the spirit Of improvement hat
seems to possess The %proprietors OF our
mills. Yesterday we noticed the Rhode
Island in regard to the improvements be-
ing introduced there, to-day we notice the
Union Mill, Of this place. Carpenters
have been engaged for a. long time, in get
ting out, framing. and otherwise prepar-
ing the timbers for the new battery about
being introduced in this mill. Twelve
s.amps are now worked, and for some
time pas, the mill has been running on
Chollar. Potosi rock. The crushing capa-
city of the battery is from - to l6 tons
per twenty-four hours. Capt. kidd runs
this mill, and we noticed when we called
in he was stripped Of his coat and doing
woman duty in welding the sledge. Such
men are bound to succeed.
Coop SrRIxB.-.The Yellow Jacket Co.
Yesterday, in their north shafs-old works
at their $50 feet level, struck a most ex-
tr~aordinary, and very rich deposit Of ore,
for the Comstock lode. Gold perforated,
and was 10 be seen all through this rock,
and its ASSAY per ton must be enormous.
This for a siirer mine. is very good, and
we are glad to this strike. Go
on, Gold Hill is not played out quite yet
and we think we can live some years
longer, and still hold our own, in this
community.
RATHER DUsrY.-The strong, cold wind
prevailing to-day, in the way Of raising
dust in our streets, Reminded US very for
chilly of the reputation our State has ac-
CURED in regard 10 its =ephyrs. Well, we
can stand il, for We are thoroughly m
pregnated with dust, as much so as though
we were one Of the eldest inhabitants y
Of this burgh.
