Mouxr BLANC MrSE.-Mr. Byers, the
Superintendent of the Mount Blanc Mine,
south end of American Flat, and on the
western range OF the Comssock Ledge,
according to the outcroppiugs) has ship
ped a si1ty-horsc power engine and ma
chinsrv for his mine, which will be put
up before long. The place where these
new hosting works are TO be put up at
is near the public park, as designated
on the American City plat, or map, be-
ing on the south side. As far as pros
pected in their upper works, in the
mountain, the company believe that q
shaft about eight hundred feet in depth
will strike the ledge under the new
hosting works. fla good rich ledge is
developed in that l~ocalisy-and there
really is no good reason why there
should not be, it will resurrect a large
number Of mining claims which have
bseu lying dormant for the last two
wears aud a half. The indications and
good prospects obtained in the upper
works of the Mount Blanc, would GER
,ainly seem TO warrant a further eIpend-
iture OF money and labor to seek their
ledge a, a greater depth. This, we are
pleased to say, the company intend do
ing. 1t has been by such energy and
enterprise that the paying mines on the
Comstock have become what they are.
TIMBER. There is great complaint
abou, the difficulty Of getting building
sticks and boards, or fence posts. Many
improvements, intended, in this county
have been and are being greatly delayed
this season for lack of lumber. But the
Washoe and Carson mills are now work
ing a, their best speed, and the trees OF
the Sierras are tumbling ~headlong by the
thousand per day. Soon there will be
AN abundant supply. Timber should be
cut in summer so as 10 season quickly
in order TO become the most durable
but the hardest aud best kinds of wood
are less affected by this treatment h
those Of a softer aud more perishaele
character, which are often doubled II
even tripled in the period Of their en-
durance, by quick seasoning, instead OF
allowing them to become partly sap rot
ten by keeping them many months IN a
green state. The durability Of the posts
il varied much by the character OF soil
in which they are set.
