Among these is a new fan, which has
been introduced by c. Lampman, of the
Russell & Lampman lumber yard, corner
Hamilton and Mill streets. 1t is a great
improvement on the old fan. as it has
shown that the blast furnished in 700
revolutions is equal TO that obtained in
2, 100 revolutions of the old machine. II
has been applied to the Rathburn furnace
with the most satisfactory success. II
differs in principle from the others i n
that the arms defect at the point where
the fans reach the upper portion of the
air-reeeiver. The detection brings each
fan at an exact vertical angle with the
mouth of the receiver, and thus reduces
the escape to almost a minimum degree.
There ARE eight fans to each machine,
and the operation is as simple as it has
proven successful. The machine can be
laid on any level, and secured by bolts
running through its horizontal cross
beams. These fans cost here only Sl25
apiece; whilst the old ones cost $500.
The great economy of this improvement
induces us to hope for their general adop-
ton in our smelling works.
We have but little more to note about
Blue Hill. Since our last all the active
mines on this range have slightly i'm
proved in appearance. The Bowie Brown
has been bonded for $40, ZOO; and the
Oregon and most of the leading mines at
the northeast extremity of the hill are
developing satisfactorily.
The White Pine furnace has made n
very successful run since it was last
cleaned out. 1t is now in its thirty fifth
day, and apparently is good for many
DAYS to come. The ores treated nj these
works are very miscellaneous. the mana
ger, Mr.. Keys, purchasing indiscrimi-
nately from miners. We are glad to see
evidences of a prosperous condition of
Affairs at these works. 1t has been kept
running more regularly than any other
furnace in the District, and was the first
put up. The strongest proof, however,
that we could give of the financial sue
cess of the enterprise, is the fact that the
are now erecting the piers and
building the foundation for another fine
and extensive furnace. IL will be of the
smelling capacity Of % tuns Of ore per
day; 4 feet square, in the clear, on the
inside, and 11% feet high, measured
from the center of the tweer-pipea to the
feed hole. From the portion of the mn
sonny already finished. and from what
we learn of the plan, il will be an Gle
giant structure and include all the i'm
proVements which experience has sug-
gested.
The Walsh furnace has now been
operating successfully for several days,
aud promises to make a long and prof.
table run. The accident TO the founda-
ton has been thoroughly repaired, and

The iron water-lining for the Alsop
works has arrived, and is now on the
ground. II will be put up a few days,
when we hope to again hear good news
from these smelling works.
The Weiland and the Rathburn smelt-
ing works, in Hamilton, are both run
ming on ores from the western base Of
White Pine mountain. The ores are
found good, and the furnaces are doing
well.
The Voss works, at Shcrmantown,
have been shut down for over a week.
Financial difficulties seem TO have caused
the cessation. But We understand that
Mr.. Elliott, n man who has had CON
siderable experience in the selecting and
buying of ores, is negotiating to pur-
chase and run the works.
The Galpin is the name Of a new fur
mace in Swansea Valley, just beyond the
Walsh works. 1t has been partially tried.
bat we have heard nothing authentic
about the results. The parties owning
are offering to lease it to competent men.
The Sheba mill. at Swansea. is turn
ing ont a very iue and clean quality of
nmalgam from some of Air. Osborne's
mines. The mill is under the superin-
tendency of Mr.. Cory. and ranks among
the best establishments in White Pine.
II is probable that the Dayton and
Manhattan mills have been purchased by
Governor Blasdel. We are assured that
the sale has been consummated; and
that in connection with the mills one or
more Sietefeldt furnaees will be erected
for the purpose Of treating II complex
ores. The sale will be of great benefit
To this section. aud create a better feeling

From outside Districts, especially those
very adjacent TO this. We hear very salts
factory accounts. The mouey-drouth at
Eureka will probably cease in a few days;
at least such is the firm impression OF
those who are nj the head of enterprises
in that place. Bnlbaeh q Co. have peer
heard from, and assurances have reached
Eureka that returns Tor bullion would be
forwarded Immediately, and that here
after the New Jersey works wonld be in
position to make pnnctual settlements.
We have no 5 lch adyioes for this place
from the same establishment.
Pinto is on the road to high prosperity.
Nearly all the interest is absorbed in the
astonishing developments making in the
Maryland mine, whilst other locations
are looking mp. The Maryland is "A jewel
OF the first water. Yesterday Sunday
morning another large bed of ore was en-
! eountered, this one in the south drift.
When our informant left, it had all the
appearance of the great chamber opened
in the north drift. The latter has now
been sunk into a depth of about 90 feet,
and yet no signs of reaching the bottom
of the vast mass of rich ore through
which the workmen are sinking. Should
the south deposit prove equally rich and
extensive, we would be greatly puzzled
10 place a figure upon the value of this
splendid mire.
The Social and Steptoe Company has
shut down work on the Gilligan mine.
aud is still preparing to change its mill
to n d%ry-crusher. II is the intention to
erect furnaces on the Stetefeldt plan,
and to roast all the ores. Mr.. O'Dough-
erty, the Superintendent, is now out
prospecting the %varioas districts. He
has placed a number of men at work de-
yeloping a mIne at Clifton, Deep Creek.
