GOULD L CURxY.-The Bonner shaft

GOULD l. CuRsY.-The Bonner shaft
of the Gould & Curry mine has now
attained the depth Of about 1850 lest,
and at the bottom vein matter is now
encountered of a very promising ap
pearance. Owing, however, to the soft
and unreliable nature Of the ground the
opening of a new level at that point is
deemed inexpedient, and the sinking
will be further prosecuted until
ground of a more solid nature
is met with. The present known dip Of
the ledge to the east continuing the
same, the shaft sinking perpendicularly
will Of necessity have to pass through
the ledge, and at the depth Of about
1900 feet will cut the west wall. Mean
while some bodies of ore will doubtless
be cut through. The company are get
ting in a large supply Of wood for use
next winter, and now have stored up
about their works 400 cords. They
are determined not 10 be again obliged
to shut down, as they were last winter.
for want Of wood-a very laudable idea,
which we are pleased to notice is being
entertained by all Of our principal
mines in Gold Hill and Virginia.
Still BELcuISG.-Our enterprising
and poetic friend, Bolivar Spikens, who
has just returned from a visit to the
great Gold Hill volcano, on the summit
Of Mount Butler, reports the thing to
be still belchiug forth from its cavern
GUS, odoriferous, guaniferous crater,
after the style which might be expected
at this particular time, when IL has
been holly diminishing as 1t has for 10 /!
these many days. We do not object.
IL there is lava material sufficient we
hope it will fight il out on that line If it
takes till next spring. Here's the
"pome" Bolivar wrote after drinking a
quart Of beer when he got back from
his visit to the crater:
o! belcher, mine, the Belcher mine
Can ue'er outbelch thy belcher.
Nor the Bullion SHAFT with bullion shafts
Fer prove to thee 4 squelcher.
Belch on, dear crater, beleh right on,
Mid flames and smoke 80 gay,
And six months hence still belch along
As fierce as thou beleh to-day.
For CORONER. - DR.. r. Weber, OF
Gold Hill, desires the public to be in
formed that he is a candidate for Cor
oner and Public Administrators Of Storey
County, subject to the nomination OF
the Democratic County Convention to
be held in Gold Hill on the ed of Sep
TENDER. The Doctor is a very popular
member of his party-and, we think,
deservedly so. He is a physician and
surgeon, and stands second to no one
in this State; and so far as we know, is
ahigh-miuded and honorable gentleman,
and one who would understand the Cor
onerss duties far better than some
"wooden men who have held the
office. We hope the Union party will
nominate II candidate equally AS well
qualified.
To rHE HosPIrAL.-Wm. Hunter, the
miner who had his right elbow broken
and the shoulder dislocated by a fall
from the car track into one Of the ore
bins of the lower Savage dump four or
five weeks ago, was last evening re-
moved from his residence on b street,
Virginia, to the Hospital St. Vincent
De Paul, where there are better facili-
ties for nursing and attendance. The
arm was not doing we'll, and last Thurs.
day it was thought that it would have
to be amputated, but n change Of sur
geous at that time seems to have pro-
duced a change for the better, for there
is now every prospect that the arm will
be saved. Mr.. Hunter and his many
friends certainly hope so.
Fox County TREAsuRER.-It is with
pleasure that We call the attention Of
bur readers to the card Of our friend
VIM. B.. Hickok, in another column,
here he himself as a candi-
date for the office Of County Treasurero OF
Storey County, subject to confirmation
by the Storey County Union Conven-
ton to be held September l4th. Mr.,
Hickok is we'll known as one OF our
well-tried, sound, and square Union
men, with the requisite ability to bill
the position with honor and credit to
himself and the perfect satisfaction ofthe
people Of Storey County, and should he
get the nomination there is no one hat
Union men, or any other man, could
more advantageously indorse.
