'"tuous SILVER spike Vi NeNauhi w oe
used in spiking the last tie in COM
pletiug the great railroad tomorrow,
and it was under their supervision that
the spike was manufactured. The
Enterprise Of this morning in n local
item regarding it says: GAS even the
smallest portion Of this last spike will
for all time be much treasured, we will
give its exact ineness, which is: Gold,
so; silver, 942 value per ounce,
S22 o5. Those who may hereafter
manufacture bogus specimens OF the
I" last spike" will do we'll to have the
fueness in gold and silver correspond
with the genuine. Our Spikins thinks
the " value per ounce on that spike
is set at rather a high figure, Dan,
even if it were pure gold instead OF
silver. The true value of that spike,
according 10 Sampson, assayer Ut Vie
gand's Gold Hill Office, is So IS Is.
In SrArU QUo.-A strong, pungent,
gaseous smoke still issues from the
Crown Point shaft through the surface
covering, inducing the bslief that fire
still exists in the mining depths. Both
that and the Kcntuck shafts continue
closed rs tightly rs possible. The Tel
low Jacket mine is free from unusual
gas or smoke, all the drifts and other
points of connection between il and the
other two mines being very efectually
and substantially closed, all fears Of
any fire getting through into that mine
are therefore at an end. A full force of
miners are tumbling out the ore at a
very satisfactory rate. This state OF
affairs relative TO the three mines is
likely to continue, but we hope very
soon TO be able to state that the two
disabled mines. have commenced full
working operations again, like the yell
low Jacket.
