RHODE ISLAND MtLL.-Very extensive
preparations are being made at this MILL
in the way of improvements. Our as'en-
ton was directed to the mill, by seeing
several blocks Of dressed granite pass
down hill. We found these were for the
engine bed. Two Of these blocks weighed
$4,000 pounds, weighed at the Union
Scales. This morning We visited the mill,
found il still running. though carpenters,
stone cutters. and those Of other trades,
were very busy in their preparations on
the outside, and as soon as everything is
ready. work will be suspended at the mill
till the improvements are introduced. We
shall keep posted OF all their operations.
INTERNAL REVENUE PESALTIIs.- We
are informed by o. H. Plas,, Assistant
U. S. Assessor Of Internal Revenue OF the
Gold Hill Division, that on and after the
llth day Of June next he will exact the
penalty Of rs per cent. prescribed BY law,
OF all those liable to pay an Income Tax
or Federal License, whether having been
served with written notice or otherwise
as he has given full and sufficient warn
ing. Mr.. Platt has been very accommo-
dating in his official capacity while acting
As Assessor. And. as he wishes 10 close
his assessment at an early day, it behooves
all 70 report 10 him before the time speci-
fed and save additional expense.
PETITION IN CIRcULArIoN.-We had
our attention drawn last evening TO a Pc
,ition in favor of Michael Dunn, who
killed Thomas Mckay, at Idaho City,
sometime g Dunn had always borne
the name Of being a la~w-abiding man
worked for years as a miner in Storey
county, and conducted himself well-and
only on strong provocation and the i'm
pulse Of the moment, committed the deed
by which he is to be hung on July 9th.
This petition is addressed 10 the Governor
Of Idaho, and simply asks for a commute
ton Of punishment. II was numerously
signed when we saw it.
SrocXs IN OUR MISEs.-We were glad
to see quite an advance in the quotations
Of prices in relation to our mines at the
Stock Board, San Francisco, yesterday.
The approximations of q monetary panic
having its origin in London, and which it
was thought would affect this country,
seems in a great degree to have subsidized,
and a general advance took place in con-
sequence in prices in all Of our prominent
mines. So far as we are posted in regard
10 the workings of Jul mines. they are
rather increasing the amount brought to
the surface than otherwise.
HEAVY LOAD TO CARRY.-We are in
trusted with some important secrets in
regard to political combinations, etc., but
in oil cases where secrecy is exac,ed we
mean TO keep pledge. A local is sup
posed TO be a friend of every one-is in
trusted with q great many private COM
munications-must act as counsellor, and
all that sort of thing, and still preserve
his honor. Well, we shall try to do u
best, though il is a great load to carry on
one pair Of shoulders.
TEMPERANCE LEcruRE.-Rev. Thomas
II. McGra,h, Of Washoe City, delivered
lecture on the subjec, Of Temperance a,
Odd Fellows Hall, Gold Hill,last evening,
before q ,clerably large and respectable
audience. The lecture throughout was a
mas,erly production, aud reflected credit
upon the head and heart Of the talented
preacher.
PosrorrrcR.-A friend Of ours called
our attention to the fact that he had had
box in the Pos,ofice for the last W o
wears. He has called Of late for letters
bu, received Yet on taking up the
News last evening. what should ne see
but a letter advertised for him. Quite an
oversight on the part Of our friends in the
office.
STORMS, SroRMs.-May seems disposed
to keep up its reputation for a stormy
month, even TO the last day. Several
sprinklincs took place to-day, and we
noticed that heavy storms passed along 70
the Yves, and South Of US. We would
no. be surprised that we caught . heavy
s,ord here before the day was over. from
the cloudy condition OF things.
Hoes VS.. CHrSANES.-We saw a very
amusing scene on our streets yesterday.
A chinaman was attempting TO drive a
couple of hogs up hill to their destination.
The hog, seemed TO understand the laws
~ or.y;,stion, and preferred going down
Hill. A large number OF our citizens
seemed 10 be highly delighted win inc
contest between them.
PaEpAR1So.-we saw q number OF LADIES'
and gentlemen entering the shea'er last
evening for the purpose Of rehearsing their
parts for the forthcoming St. Johns fes-
tival. w predict a most interesting time
generally at this Festival to all concerned
MAsoSIc.-The members Of Silver Star
Lodge No. s, Gold Hill, will hold a spe-
cial meeting at their Hall this evening.
