IupERIAL-ExPIRE.-work in the drifts
west from the new shaft, at the 9oo-foot
level, progresses very slowly, although
there is comparatively little water to
contend with, it having been pretty
we'll drained out. Tho Empire drift
has penetrated the Comstock ledge to
the extent Of about thirty feet and is
now 10 very hard, barren white quartz,
in which a small streak Of good ore is
occasionally encountered. The Giant
powder is being used in blasting with
marked effect, but owing to the very
hard nature Of the rock, progress is
necessarily slow. The Imperial drift is
also in barren white quartz, which will
probably be found fully as hard as that
in the Empire, when the same distance
is attained. The indications are favor
able, same as in tho other drift, n
we hope soon to be able to chronicle a
healthy strike Of good ore. Next week
they will commence putting In the new
pump. the south compartment Of the
shaft being reserved for that purpose.
RuSAwAY.-we had a regular rum
away, for a variety here, at Gold Hill
this forenoon. Mr.. Taylor, of the Pho
neer Boiler Works, Silver City, and
another gentleman were in an open
buggy driving two horses, coming down
Main street; when nearly opposite Thea
ter Hall one Of the bresst.straps broke
and the horses became unmanageable.
Both gentlemen got out, or were thrown
out, and the horses with the buggy made
excellent time down street, fortunately
coming in collision with nothing until
they arrived at Odd Fellows Hall,
where they ran against a post and were
secured. They were scratched a little
about the legs, but not seriously hurt.
The buggy was considerably racked,
and the near fore wheel stripped from
the hub.
