between the Imperial and Empire. and for
several months past has been lying idle,

il again. The mine is under the supsrin-
tend.nce of Mr.. Donnelly, formerly OF the
Alpha. The Bacon IS . small mine, but
there is not a mine in Gold Hill that has
Welded more good ore according to the
number Of fee, than the Bacon.
ENPIRB.-We learn that ore which was
struck in the 70o-foo, level Of the Empire
mine a few days since, has a fair prospect
