THE EVENING NEWS,
CAV W., pnopKR.-This morning

Hill Proper, we louuu al
work more briskly than for a long time.
The dumps are all full yet, although.a
large number of teams are employed in
hauling off the quartz. The Empire
mine is now engaged in cleaning up the
old levels, there being many spots Of
good ore left in each one Of them. The
Foreman informed me that by the time
this was accomplished the new shaft
would be down and have a tunnel run
10 the ledge. So the work would 60
steadily on. After the lower levels are
cleaned up and the work in the new
shaft commences all the claims from the
Eclipse to the Alpha will commence
taking out the ore between the upper
level and the top of the ground. But
little having been done IS yet in that
par, of the Empire, Imperial or Alpha.
The Imperialis.now stripping off 1.-THE sur
face preparatory to commencing this
work. The Eclipse works are settling
rapidly and props are used to keep them
up, this morning while we were there
making observations we felt unsafe and
made the stay as short as possible.
STACKS OF BRlcxs.-The finest bullion
exhibit in one lot that we have laid our
ewes on for several months, we saw this
morning in the assay Office Of Edwards
/ WieCsnd, next door to the News Of
fee. Ii consisted of u stack of twenty
silver bars, worth about forty thousand
dollars, and belonged to the Grown
Point mine. Fifteen Of these bricks
had been reduced from ore at the Rhode
Island mill, belonging to the Crown
Point Company. The crude bullion of
the twenty bricks when brought to the
assay office. weighed three-quarters Of a
ton. Pretty good for one lot Of bullion.
At Ruhling 1 Co.'S assay office yester-
day afternoon there was u large bar of
bullion from the Imperial mine, weigh
ing l,663.35 ounces, and containing:
gold, So. O62 90; silver, Sl,5sl l5-total
value, SlO,644 Il. There were FIVE
more bars beside it on the counter, all
from the Imperial mine, the six weigh
ing collectively some 5000 ounces, and
worth in all 1871 leo. Both the above
mines are located in Gold Hill.
NEW DuNP.-The Confidence mine, in
its old days, is beginning to put on airs.
This morning we noticed a fine new
dump in process of erection. The new
STYLE Of dumps will soon be used alto
yether in our mines, as they dispense
with all the men employed in shoveling
the Quartz into the wagons. and do the
work in one-tenth of the time. The
Confidence heretofore has had nothing
but q platform on which the ore was
dumped. We are glad to see improve
ments going on in all our mines, as 1t
shows u confidence in them.
ACCIDENTAL serious and painful &C
cident occurred to Joseph Silva, one OF
the workmen in the Sapphire mill, last
evening about 5 o'clock. While en-
ployed in oiling the gear that propels
the pans, his hand was caught in the
machinery, bruising it severely n
producing compound fracture OF the
metacarpal bones of the right hand-an
accident which will require some time
to recover from, and may result in par
;ial loss of motion of the hand. DR..
hall is attending the wounded man.
