shaft is uow LAS feet deep, aud the
still deeper sinking actively proceeded
with. The material ut the bottom is
principally hard porphyry, with quartz
occasionally intsrmixed, but no signs
of metal. The quantity Of water en-
couutered is very small, being about ono
tub of water to four tubs Of dirt. Even
this small quantity is decreasing. Blast
ing is constantly resostcd to, giant pow.
der being used with good effect. Be.
fore the west wall Of the ledge is reached
BY the shaft there is every reason for
believing that good bodies Of pay ore
will be struck. If no., nll they have to
do is to run II drift east or south from
the bottom of the shaft, which will then
be about 300 feet deep, and they will
have u sure thing, at least on striking
the rich body of ore known to be in-
GLAZING in that direction from the Yellow
Jacket mine.
The MEAN TINE OF VIRGISIA.--The
difference Of time between San Fran
cisco and Virginia City i, exactly l?
minutes and 50 seconds, therefore If
you set your watch thirteen minutes
ahead of the San Francisco time, as iu-
dicated By the clocks ut the Telegraph
Offices, you will be as near right rs
there is any necessity for, and more so
than any "meauer" time to be found
at any watchmakers. The time at
Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S is regulated on the
principle we speak of, and is the only
true standard. All othor clocks regu-
lated similarly, and in relative accord
ance with the San Francisco telegraph
time, are of course correct.
FiREwoRKs AND FLAGs.-Viucent Ell
lott, ut his we'll known fruitand variety
store, corner Of B and Union streets,
Virginia, has just received II magnihi-
cent assortment OF California fireworks
of every description, from II ten pound
rocket down 10 q iire-cracker. Also
flags of Nil sizes and materials, just ex-
actly what everybody will require to
celebrate properly our great national
anniversary. Elliott sells all these de-
sirables ut considerably less than SAN
Francisco prices, and invites inspection
before looking elsewhere. See his add
| yertisemcnt in another column.

or thereabouts, as may be seen by refer
euoe to the timetable published in our
