speno MS money, but simply TO make q
few suggestions to some Of our readers
how men become wealthy. II is not the
high salary that makes a man wealthy,
nor is it being what is termed lucky, for
no man can become wealthy who spends
his money foolishly. We see some men
with a salary of $4,000 per year, and at
the end Of twelve months have moi q cent
in sheir purses, while we see others work.
ing for a salary OF 81, 900 per year, and a.
the end Of the year they have several
hundred dollars in Bank and do not owe
a cent. How many men are there in
Gold Hill to-day who have been working
for years past making from 800 TO $3.50
per month who have not a dollar: Many
Of them dress in the most common attire
and board themselves, making the actual
cost of living not more than $50 per
month, leaving 800 per month as clear
profit, and which amounts in one year to
Sl,oS0. 1, will be readily seen by this
estimate that il will require but a few
years for a man to get q good start. II
will also be seen by putting the first years
earnings out At two per cent interest per
month, it will bring him in $3.50 20 inter-
est. and his second year his interest on his
whole capital will be $3.50 Sc, aud the
third year S979, making a total at the end
Of four year of S6,l3s. How many young
men are there in our town who are squan-
dering their money, contracting disease
learning the roads TO vice and ruin, who
might be, BY frugality, in 4 few years
wealthy and useful men, exerting an in
tlueuce for the benefit Of humanity and
society? Young men, who dig and toll
from day to day, from month to month,
and from year TO year, stop where you
are, and look back over your past life, and
see where you could make Improvements
in it, and let the future be guided by what
Is suggested to your mind when you look
over the past. The great secret Of success
is, save the cents, and the dollars will
take care Of themselves"
IMPERIAL & ENPIRE.-rhis morning we
paid a visit to the new shaft Of the lmpe-
rial s Empire, where we found all life and
stir. A large force OF men are engaged
in grading down the hill for a foundation
for the new hosting works, which will be
commenced on the first of February.
There is now on the ground three fifty
aue boilers. also, a large lot Of other ma.
chinery, to be used in the new works.
From the size Of the boilers and other
machinery on the ground, these works,
when completed. will evidently be the
larges, and mos, powerful in the State.
The large low pressure engine which was
partially erected at the old shaft OF the
Imperial will be taken down and put up
a. these works to do the pumping. The
cylinder Of this engine is ~ inch bore and
has eleven foot stroke. The shaft at the
preseu. time is 6S4 feet deep and it is
thought, by the foreman, that the present
machinery will be sufficient to put the
shat, down to the depth Of 900 feet,
which point it is expected to reach by
February. The sinking now being easy,
good progress is being made. By the
hrst Of July we will know more OF the &C
tual merits OF our Gold Hill mines than
has ever yet been revealed.
Handsome PAISrINos.-Yesterday we
were in the International Saloon, Virginis,
Charley White, the proprietor Of the sa-
loon, has purchased two paintings Of
Powers Greek Slave, being a front and
back view Of that great piece Of sculptor
work. The paintings are oil paintings and
life size. The workmanship is unexcep-
tionable, and resembles q human being
even more than the great work from which
it was taken, having the color more per-
feet. These paintings were made in Gin
cinnati by a Mr.. White. and are said to
have brought, when first sold, $500.
They are fne paintings and are well worth
seeing. Charley has re6tted his saloon
throughout, having removed the small
mirror and pu, in its place n OF those
large French mirrors. Two OF the most
useful things in the bar is Mr.. Gray and
Mr.. Ryan. who do the atfable. II not
an ornament they. with their bottles, ex-
ers a most telling influence on a man If he
will stay by them.
New ORE HousZ.-The Crown Point
company have, at their Rhode Island mill.
in lower Gold Hill, erected one Of the
larges, and most substantial ore houses in
the State. The building is SO by ~ feet,
and has Ave girders running through the
building, with iron rods extending TO the
r~atters, or hip braces. These girders are
supported by the iron rods, leaving the
whole lower room clear Of posts or sup
ports. Five or six teams can drive INTO
the building at one time. The mill has
been extensively improved in its amalga-
mating department within the past two
months, and is now one Of the best in the
State.
Coop OnEs.-Ths Yellow Jacket Co.,
in their new Shaft are putting down q
VIM from the third to the lower level, a
distance Of 80 feet. A large and extensive
BODY of rich ore is found between the two
levels. and when thoroughly opened will
doubtless yield immensely. The stock
market is the Thermometer that tells how
the mines are prospecting. If you see
stocks take a rise something good has
been found, and if they take . fall. the
mine has struck a horse. According, then,
10 the mining thermometer, the prospects
in several Of our mines must be quite fat
tering.
How TO PREVENT Ir.-There are at
this time in Gold Hill and Virginia plenty
Of persons laboring under the effects OF
Dyspepsia, caused by eating stale butter,
hams, salt pork, beef, fish, potatoes and
all such things. At the same time they
have only themselves TO blame for It, nom
the fact il you will look in another col
umn under New To-day" you will see
that W. W. S,ovall has just received a
hrge supply of all the above articles
which are fresh and healthy. Remember
the place, No. s South B street.
