which they lately rented to Caspar
Haupt & Co., about a mile this side Of
Dayton, a truly painful accident oc-
CURED to one Of the worknen named
John McGowan. II seems that the un-
fortunate man was in the act Of oiling
two cog-wheels in the mill, when sud
denly the oil-csn slipped from his left
hand, and falling on the machinery, he
attempted to grab it, but the cogs
caught his left hand, and completely
mashed the dexter-6uger to the upper
joint, tore off a large piece Of the flesh
from the thumb, severely lacerated the
middle finger, and crushed the third
finger half way to the middle joint. The
wounded man came up to Dr.. Gsston's
Office yesterday, who amputated the
fragments Of the first finger, and also
the third finger half way to the second
Joint, and dressed the other wounds, so
tina, the man is in a comfortable condi-
ton. The wounds are very severe ones
aud will prevent MCGOWAN from doing
any work for some time. The accident
rnd its subsequent surgical operation
was a very severe one, but no one IL to
blame except the sufferer himself.
HALF & Internationally after
noon We took a walk in the lower part
Of Virginia. At the new shaft Of the
Hale 4 Sorcross, we found the work Of
erecting the new works progressing rap
idly. The foundation for the new works
are all framed and in position. The
groundwork is enormous, and when
completed will be the largest and most
complete Oh the whole line Of the Com
stock. Every company now that puts
up new works seem to have a desire to
make them a little superior to those OF
any other Company. Tho new shaft is
down 800 feet, and although the rock is
hard, they sink % feet per week. The
new works are a little over 200 feet low
err than the old ones, so that at $50 feet
they will be down on 8 level with their
present working level. When this depth
is attained they design running a drift
to the ledge, but the work Of sinking
will be continued until they get down
one thousand feet. The Hale l. Nor
cross is one of the best mines on the
Comstock lode and is yielding a large
amount Of rich ore.
GOLD HILL GUARps.-This new Mill
tsry company is getting along finely,
and will have the arms which they have
applied for, up hsre in a few days, when
they will fix up their new srmory in
good STYLE. The Guards will, in 8 few
days, apply to our citizens for a contri-
button 70 purchase uniforms, the cost Of
which 10 estimated at $50 each-a good
portion Of which will be paid for by
each member, but as the company con-
template making a splendid turnout on
the Fourth Of July next, the expenses
will be rather heavy, if borne by each
member; 20 the officers have been ADJ
vised to make 8 general subscription for
the disbursements needed and knowing
the local pride Of our people, it is
thought best to distribute the burdens
Of the company, while the Town may
have all the credit. The Gold Hill
Guards consist Of a fine looking and
worthy set of men and We know Of no
enterprise on foot in which our citizens
can more worthily bestow ten, twenty,
or City dollars.
MoRr Rich ORs.-The discoveries over
in Washington District, between East
and West Walker river, are becoming
e1citiugly rich. As We write this item,
we have before US two assays made by
Edwards 4 Wiegsnd, last Saturday, Of
ore from two different lodges in that
District; one is from the Mary Ann
ledge, and contained $s05 in gold and
STA IS in silver-totsl, Sl,0s3 per ton
of ore. Another assay, from an sdjoin-
ing ledge, yielded in silver at the rate
of S57S so per ton. When such assays
are made OF ore discovered within q
day and q hslf's travel from the Com
stock ledge, why do prospectors 60 to
Silver Bend, to Pahranagat, to Goose
Creek Mountains, to Idaho, or to Mon
,ans? There arc no such ore discoveries
in the latter localities. We predict that
Washington and Wilson Districts will
prove two of the best localities ever
discovered in Nevada.
Coon EArISG.-Next door to the Post
Office is one Of the neatest and most Or
Derby kept places in the county. Any
thing in the market in the eating line
can be had by ordering it. Everything
cooked to order.
