ENGLISH STEEL WIRE RoPE.-The fat

-
ing works of our mines throughout the
State are composed of iron wire, and
are much superior in strength aud dura-
bility to the old style Of hemp cable.
Some six mouths ago, Charles Bonner,
ESQ, Superintendent Of the Savage
mine. procured an English steel WIRE
cable directly from tho mandatory Oh
R 6 Newball L Co., Gateshead.on-tne-
TIVE and since that time il has been IN
cors,spt use at the Savage shalt, oper-
ATM IN the most perfectly satisfactory
,,.nncr imaginable. Like the common
snec;cs of iron wire cable, it is Hat, be-
inc four and a quarter inches wide by
th~ree-eighths Of an inch thick, and the
wires being Of 6ue steel, this species OF
cable is claimed to be far more durable,
compact and serviceable than any other
now in use. Following the example oil
the Savage Company the Hale & Nor
cross and Chollar-P otosi companies ooth
sent for cables of the same sort, when
have Jus, now arrived at San Francisco.
In case time and experience shall more
fully demonstrate their SUPERIORITY over
all other, steel wire ropes will douotiesS
be generally adopted.

four feet in width is to be constructed
along the west side Of g street, Virginia,
from Carson to North streets, a very
desirable improvement which will be
appreciated py the residents in thai sec

p~ortance to the much needed sidewa
on the Divide, from the junction OF b
and G streets to the Gold $500
Portions of sidewalk already xsa>efeNs
but in so dilapidated q condition as to
be dangerous. 1t shouldbe either re-
haired or removed altogether. About
thirty fee, of it fell of the bank yester-
day. With q good sidewalk built con-
Jointly by the two towns across the
Divide, extending down to the turn OF
the road near the new hosting works OF
the Imperial and Empire companies, the
numerous foot passengers constantly
passing to and fro between Virginia and
Gold Hill, would be greatly accomoda-
ted, and the two places not seem quiteso
far apart, especially in muddy weather.
