The CRowS PoISr MiSr.-We have
received an advance copy of the Annua'
Report Of this company; and, in orde'
to inform the public of the recen: devel
opmeut made in this mine, that is L
say, the Superintendent's report OF il
up to April 3Oth, we copy from his state
meut to the stockholders AS follows,
with a true description of the appear
auce Of the eastern vein after its further
development to the present date, Jun,
Sth From this Station (400) there
Was also a drift run to the east $40 feet,
At a point $50 feet east from the shaft,
this drift crossed-at about $50 feel
south from north line-a body Of quartz
50 feet in width, standing almost per
pendicular, its direction nearly north
and south. From the point Of intersec-
ton a drift WAS run south 1875 feet, the
entire distance in quartz, it becoming
very narrow, only about " feet wide,
further work in this direction was suS.
pended. \ drift wa slso carried north,
95 feet; in this direction the quartz also
seemed to cut out. Several cross-cutl
were made to the east, all terminating
in clay. 4 raise" was also made oil
fifty feet; no ore Of much value was
found in any direction. About the first
of March drifting WAS commenced from
the 500 feet station, driving both to the
east and west. At l57 feet east from
the shaft the same body Of quartz was
cut that was developed on the level
above, with the very gratifying differ
euce, that while on the 400 feet level it
was almost entirely barren, on this level
i, shows ten feet Of very fine ore. There
has no, been sufficient time TO explore
this body TO any great extent, though
there can scarcely be q doubt but that
it is a discovery Of great value. The
poin. where the ledge vas cut is about
ninety feet south Of the north line" ~
This body OF ore has now been devel-
oped about fifty feet in length, with no
material change going south on the vein.
Another level will be opened soon, which
10 to cut the vein at q depth Of 500 feet,
and perhaps by the middle Of August
neIt the vein will DO reached. How the
vein will look at this level is Of course
all conjecture at present, yet it would
seem from present explorations made
that it will improve downwards. Should
This vein improve on going deeper, the
Crown Point will then soon be able to
resume the payment of large dividends,
and another 90 day, will tell the story.
We referred to this development some
time ago, as being the most important
one on the Comstock lode made since
the discovery of the east vein in the
Hale L Norcross last Christmas year
sgo, aud we are now fully convinced
that such 10 the case, and that great
credit is due to Mr.. Batterman tho Super
inteudeut, for his efficient management.
The new hosting and pumping machin-
ery is now in course of erection and
will doubtless be completed by Septem-
Der next; in the meantime the present
old works will answer all purposes.
The cost OF these new hosting workI'
we are told, when completed, will not
exceed $50, 900, and will enable the
company to develop and work their
mine to a depth Of at least 1900 feet.
Thus it would app ear that this will be
not alone the cheapest, but also among
the finest and most powerful hosting
and pumping gear on the whole lode.
According to the annual report Of the
company, it 10 evident that their finan.
cial condition is very healthy, yet the
present necessary expenses will doubt
less prevent the disbursement Of further
dividends for n couple OF months. While
Col. Batterman has been in charge Of
the mine, il seems there has been more
actual profits made, aud the ~stockhold.
ers have received more money in divi.
dends than all the time since the first
opening Of the mine, and while tbs
mine remains under such management,
the stockholders can rest assured Of
continued prosperity and success.
TERRIBLE AcclplST.-La Last evening,
after our paper was out, a most shock
ing and painful accident occurred al
the dump of the Trench mine, in Gold
Hill proper, the particulars of which are
as follows: A tesmster, whose name
we have learned is Martin, a man per-
haps forty years of sge-uas standing
almost Immediately under tho end Of
the csr-track, having charge Of his
team, which, we believe, is one Of the
Carrick teams, when q carman run out
a car, which fell off with all its load, q
distance Of perhaps fifteen feet, striking
Martin, and knocking him senseless.
He was picked up and carried to
to cabin in the real Of the Town Hall,
and Drs. CASTOR and Weber sent for.
On examination Of his wounds, it was
found that his right thigh was broken
bis right wrist and arm broken, and his
scalp TORI to the extent Of three or four
inches from the skull and Tapped over
his forehead. Tho wounded man was
resu,citated by proper remedies, and
those excellent surgeons set to work to
dress the awful wounds which the poor
man had sustained. Martin may posi-
bly, live; at present his recovery is doubt
full. The skull WAS not fractured, but,
Judging of the wound on the scalp, il
seems to u, there must have been a Sc
rious conclusion Of the brain. If hs
dies, the carmsn may haveto suffer for il
Fux.-They do say that there will b
