poros1.-The Potosi mill, four stamps,
cleaned up four days run last week, with
result of s567 76, in free gold. The sulphur
e,s saved from the run will nearly equal in
value the amount of the free gold. This
company is not getting out much rock at
present. for the reason that they had worked
out their first level, and have since been en-
gagged in sinking shaft from it. The shaft
is now down thirty five feet from the tunnel,
and one hundred and five feet from the sur
face. At the bottom of the shaft ledge
three feet wide shows itself, equally rich as
where it is only ten inches wide higher up
At the north end of the old tunnel, seventy
FIVE feet down, the ledge disappears. Work
was commenced some time since to extend
the tunnel north When twelve feet had
been run the ledge was again found ten
inches wide and richer than ever. Two sets
of hands are now at work extending this
tunnel. Immediately above where they now
are, the original owners took from near the
surface rock that averaged over $500 per tun
in free gold. The hopes of the company run
high now tecause of this prospect

HORSE TRAvEL-The Grass Valley Union

we can discount him. For evidence we refer
to the following communication from J. j.

excellent horse man and a gentleman of
veracity:
CLEAR CREEK BRIDGE, Nov. 8, 1866.
Mr.. J. J. CoNMY-Dear Sir: | see by an
article Of Nov. lst, in the Sacramento Union,
headed "a Long Journey of Horse" which
will hardly compare with the old horse
50 Fifty" which has been staged from my
place since 81, until his demise, which was
few days ago, at the hands of one of the
employees of the present company, by drown
ing him in Clear Creek. | believe he has
made his regular trips, with a few exceptions,
during this time up to his demise. | do not
remember Just what time in 81 he came on
the road, but he has staged ever since, and
has made his twenty two miles every twenty
four hours. which will exceed by considerable
the distance travelled by the horse spoken of
in the Union. [ think in all probability he
was one of the best gedings, (if not the very
best) ever brought to this coast.
Yours, truly, J. J. BELL.
According to Mr.. Bells statement, Fifty"

by " Fifty" in fifteen years, 12O, $50 miles.
