INpERIAL-EMPIRE.-Nothing new, ex-
citing and important, developed in tho
way Of rich streaks Of pay ore as yet.
The two main drifts at the 9oO.foot level
are progressing slowly in hard, barren,
white quartz, and the air is more close,
hot and sitting than ever. The side
drift from the Empire main drift has
penetrated south fifty feet, following
the little narrow seams Of ore cut
through near the east wall, and will be
driven further when o better supply OF
air is procured. A new and powerful
style Of fan, for the purpose OF driving
fresh air from the surface down into the
drifts, through q six inch pipe, is being
adopted, and will be in operation in q
day or two. To drive this fan a neat
little eight-horse power engine is being
placed in position ; it will be supplied
with steam from the same source as the
large hosting engines, and will require
no extra engineer to attend II. rms
tanning arrangement is said to be FULLY
capable of supplying the underground
workings with all the fresh air that is
needed. The reel clutch has arrived
from San Francisco to supply the place
of the one broken a few days ago, and
when the new fan starts into operation,
everything else will be oil right. Sink
ing will commence at the bottom OF the
new shaft about the first OF next month.
The two companies Imperial and En-
pire) propose sinking q hundred iees
further for a new level, but when they
Get at it they surely ought not to stop
Short of three hundred feet deeper than
the present depth Of their shaft-90O
feet-makiug twelve hundred feet In oil.
At that depth there is a very hne chance
for something worth while to be de-
yeloped, and they have the surface
works and machinery for it. The opera
lions and developments at that point
are watched with exceeding interest OF
the present time by everybody concern
ed in the success Of our mines and the
country at large.
FROM BoEGLE's NEW PLAcE.-Not-
withstanding that Boegle has removed
his Post Office News Depot FROM the old
location to more aristocratic quarters,
and fitted up in far better style than
ever, he does not forget his true friends,
in evidence of which he sent US this NOR
ming a nice little bundle Of reading mat
ter Comprising the following just reeeiv-
ed ner latest mail from the East Illus
trated Police News, Days Doings, Ma
tionaI Police Gazette, The Sketch Book
(Vol. l, No. ~, Scientific American
and a neat engraving Of Grant n oo!.

with the Virginia P~ostoffce, and PACING
Union Express Co., in Black & Bro. $
building, corner of c and Taylor streets,
Roeple still sells things as cheap as eVei

VIRGINIA PosrorrrcE RENovEp.-Tht
P~ostofice at Virginia has been removed
by Postmaster Warner to Black & Bros
large brick building, corner OF Q and
Taylor streets, being the same now oc'
cupied as the office of the Pacific Union
Express Company. This is a decided
improvement, and much more conye'
nient for the general public than the
Olu lOSutiOu HOiNh - ohA0h
Some few property holders and Others
interested object to the removal, o.
course, but that cannot be helped. TIL
most central position is always the best
for such a public institution as the
Pos,ofice, and there are far more pleased
and suited by this removal than there
are displeased.
