MEADOW LAKE DsrRicT.-A CORES
pondent, writing from Meadow Lake
District under date of November LIST,
and who is perfectly reliable in his
Judgment as O miner and as a Superin-
tendent of a mill, sends US the following
rather cheering news: "The Kentucky
Company ore driving the work ahead on
their mine with great vigor. The lower
tunnel is now in o distance of sixty
eight feet, and the shaft which Is being
sunk from the surface above to connect
with the tunnel, is down twenty feet.
They are % erecting q house over the
shaft in order to protect the workmen
from the Indictment weather Of Winter.
The work is being prosecuted night n
day. Mr.. Chappalstt, Superintendent
of the Mohawk and Montreal mill q
mine, is making great Roadway In his
experiments for the reduction OF the
ores of this District, and for saving the
large quantities of sulphurets and chlo-
rides which abound in the ores. Mil
lions of dollars in sulphurets had run
irrecoverably to. waste, on tho great
Comstock Ledge, until within a couple
of years past, when the miners invented
their blanket-bottomed sluices for saw
ing these liquifed particles of precious
metal, the saving of which, l am told
by the best authority, is worth q million
n year on the Comstock alone. -.
| Quite n number of the mining compa-
MES in Meadow Lake intend to winter
here, and they are accordingly building
warm cabins, and also substantial
houses over their mining works, so as
10 keep in operation, as next Summer
| will reveal some wonderfully rich gold
| mines here. II cannot be otherwise, as
the deeper every shaft is sunk, or the
farther the tunnels penetrate the lodges,
the richer the ore IS, not only in free,
sparkling gold, but also in sulphurets.
| But it takes cash to build mills, hoist
| ing works, and to sink shafts and to
run tunuels-and, however rich a mine
may be, if its owners have not the coin
to develop it, its hidden bullion will
remain in its normal condition.
Yours, &c. G. E. o."
CANE PRrsENrATIoN.-Mr. ]. F. Haen-
lein, who has published several German
newspapers in Virginia city within the
last three years, and is a very clever,
good-hearted old man, being about to
leave this State and take up his resi-
deucc in San Francisco, was presented
on Thursday evening by his German
friends in Gold Hill with q very neat
hickory cane, the top being mounted
with Gold Hill silver bullion, properly
inscribed. Mr.. Haenlein was duly i'm
pressed with the honor done him, and
feclingly thanked his friends. We re-
greet to see the old gentleman leave US.
But, as he is gone, good luck to him.

mirers among the Gold Hillers-both
ladies and gentlemen-and we have
every reason to expect to sec a large

ming. Sue Robinson is a whole show
by herself, if she wants to be-versa-
tile, sprightly, and talented beynd any
lady that ever appeared on the stage in
Gold Hill.

Coal OIL SuELL.-Our Virginia car
ricr, BGgle, is suffering from q lame
neck, on account of having accepted an
invitation to smell Of q vial Of some Of
the new coal oil, recently dipped from
tho Humboldt oil we'll. The hartshorn-
ish ring that took hold of his n~ostrils
caused a sudden and violent back-action
Of his head which came near swapping
his neck vertebr9. Bo9gle will never
be imposed upon in such a manner
again-before four o'clock 10 the after
DON
FAILED TO CONNECT. The Bonner
Lake stages which loft Virginia city on
Thursday, failed to connect with the
steamer at Sacramento yesterday at 2
o'clock, tho roads being in a bad coudi-
ton for stage travelling; besides which,
the railroad from Cisco down cannot
travel much faster than q coach. Yes
terday the Pioneer stages left two hours
earlier than the day before, in order to
make the "rifle."
PIpHR's.-A good house last night,
and rare sport on the regular pro-
gramme. The after-piece Of the "Black
Statue" was we'll played, and heartily
applauded. The performances did not
close until near IL o'clock, but the au-
diencc appeared we'll satisfied to sit it
ont. A smashing bill tonight.
