Crown Ponr.-The two new hosting

Thursday Evening,.-----.Oct IL, 1907.
Crown PoRr.-The two new hosting
engines have been working for over a
week past. Each of these engines is
40-horse power, with l4-inch cylinders,
and 3o-iuch stroke, with balance valves.
The pump-engine is of loo-horse power,
with 2o-inch cylinder and 4 feet stroke.
II was started up in presence of quite
an assemblage Of those interested in
such matters, and worked admirably.
This engine is Of an improved pattern,
just introduced from tho East, known as
the Hartford engine, with Wright's Pa
tent Variable Cutoff, and is the FIRST
one Of the kind yet manufactured on the
Pacific Coast. Goddard & Co., Of the
Pacific Iron Works, San Francisco, have
the sole right Of manufacturing them,
under a license from the Woodruff 4
Beach Iron Works Company, Hartford,
Conn. Great durability and simplicity
of construction, and especially economy
Of fuel are among tho improved advan-
tages claimed for these engines. They
enjoy the very highest reputation in the
Atlantic States, where over 800 Of them
are in full and successful operation,
in many instances even the famous Cor
liss engine having been removed to give
place to this, under q guarantee OF saw
ing in fuel. The building for the new
works is large and c~ommodious. The
pump connections will be completed in
= few days. Solid granite blocks form
the foundations for the engines and all
the gearing and machinery, which IS OF
the most massive aud powerful chsrac-
ter. All the engines, machinery, boil
ers, ETC., were manufactured al the "a
ci6c Iron Works, which well known
establishment has turned out a large
proportion of the machinery now in use
at the mining works and mills in this
part Of the country. For information
relative to their superior style OF engine,
we refer our readers TO the advertisement
Of Goddard L Co in another column
Now, while many of our mines and mills
are putting in new motive power, the
latest styles of engines should be exam
ined. Goddard, Austin & Co., we are
satisfied, will have many orders from
this State, hereafter.
FATAL AccIDrSr.-This morning a
miner was killed in the Savage mine.
He fell down the shaft, from one Of the
lower levels, a distance Of sixty feet,
and was terribly mangled. He was a
carman in one Of the drifts, and on APP
preaching the shaft with q car, asked a
workman to give the bell-sigual to lower
the car to the platform. The signal was
wrongly given, the car being drawn up,
instead Of being lowered. The time
having elapsed for the car to reach the
station, the carmsn supposed all TO be
right, and accordingly run the car,
heavily loaded, out on the platform, |
which broke down with the weight, and
the car, load, and man fell to the bot
tom. The maugled remains ofths miner
were buried this afternoon.
PALxYRA DIsrRIcr.-The Union Gold
and Silver Mining Company, Palmyra
District, Lyon county, are making Ar
rsugements to develope their mine and
for which purpose, Secretary Withsrill, |
whose Office is in Carson city, adversises
a delinquent list Of stockholders in to-
days News, to collect an assessment
made, (but not paid,) in 1864. The
"Union," it has long been known as
one Of the very best locations made in
Palmyra District and as there has been
a good deal of money already expended,
there 10 a probability Of the stockhold-
ers being repaid. See to it.
NEVADA BurrsR AND CHrEsE.-Mercer
l. Tucker, Pos,-ofics block, Gold Hill, |
yesterday received a wagon load Of the
most delicious butter and cheese ever
brought to this town. They were both
made by farmers in Lake Valley, ION
the Placervills ~route), in this State and
in q region where there must be excel
lent grass for cattle. In fact, il must
be clover, timothy, and other excellent
forage TO produce such rich, sweet, |
golden-colored cheese and butter as the
lot we speak Of. Housewives who de-
sire a superior article, should get a sup
ply.
OK A yIsir.-Hsrry Mumford, who is
we'll known and highly esteemed by
many of US washoeites, arrived in Vir-
ginis city this morning on a visit.
Harry has been the business man of the
Pioneer Stage Company at Folsom, and
other points, for q long time-and was
always considered the "right man in
the right place" The last time we
had seen him, until this morning, was
in September, 1868. He is as sprightly |
and good-looking as overland bids fair
to live to green old age.
A New PHYsIcIAS.-Dr. R. B. Ellis, |
for some years q resident Of Carson
City, has opened az Office opposite the
vesey House, in Gold Hill. The Doc
tor is q most estimabls gentleman, and
a physician of long practice on the Pa
ci6c coast. We have known the Doctor
for nearly ten years, and believe him to
be q physician Of excellent attachments
in his profession.

old drivers on the Pioneer line of stages
on the Placeryille route, for many years,
has gone to keeping a hotel in Dayton,

Golden Eagle. Charley is known to a
good many washoeites, and who will
hunt him up when they visit Dayton.
Bully boy.
