NORTHWESTERN SILVER
MINING COMPANY.

The officers Of the above com
pany are, JOHN c. HADLEY, Pres
ident, Mr.. r. l. MARTIN, Secretary,
and S. R. WIGGINs, Esq, Treas
urer.
This company has recently been
organized-have purchased the
Lake Superior lode. Leavenworth
mountain, and are now developing
their property in a Thorough and
jadicious manner. A good shaft
house, which serves also as black
smith shop, has been constructed,
and charcoal for the use Of the
smithing is burned near the mine.
Another good feature is the foun-
dation of strong timbers for a
large and convenient dump pile.
The outcroppings Of the lode
are large and strong, and can east
ly be traced on the surface for a
long distance. The discovery
shaft, 5xl0 feet. has reached a
depth of eighty feet from The sur
face. The south walls has never
been reached in the working of the
mine, and consequently no ade-
quate idea can be formed Of the
breadth of the vein. The pay vein,
argentiferous galena and copper
pyrities in the bottom of the shaft
10 about sixteen inches in breadth,
and the indications are that large
body OF mineral will be reached
by sinking few feet further. A
recent assay for silver and lead
made by c. II. Moor, Esq, Of min
eral taken from the bottom Of the
shaft on the Superior, gave a yield
Of S9s.80 per ton in silver, and 4G
| per CCut. lcdu, CoV 1US. pei SOu vi
ore, making the total value of the
ore Sl54.80 per ton.
| 1t is the intention of this com.
pany, so we are informed, to sink
the shaft to depth Of two hundred
feet and drift either way from the
shaft, and in this manner prove
their mines before commencing
other improvements. Should
large body Of water be encountered
in the mine a drain tunnel will b.
constructed at an early day, ant
the use of steam machinery avoided
for hosting purposes. A goo'
wagon road will be constructed L
the mine AT an early day. Til
ground is favorable and the roa
can be built on an easy grade.
The Superior is a good min
and the gentlemen composing tn
Northwestern are men OF capits
and we are glad to know that the
are determined to develop thei
property.

TON, at indianapolis, last Saturday, on
private business, the Journal of the LIST,
says
Nothing SO terrifies the Sentinel as
the arrival of Senator NJ orion IN Indian
apolis. No matter how or when or for
what purpose he visits his home, his
coming always excites futtering among
tho Democracy. They got in the habit
of being scared at him while he was Gov.
ernor, and are not yet over their fright.
The editor Of the Sentinel in his testi-
mony in the treason trials said that Con.
gresham Kerr as he walked the streets
Of indianapolis in 1864 kept looking back
to see if government detective was toll
lowing him. Now that Senator Morton
has returned to Washington let US hope
that our Democratic friends will enjoy a
season Of repose.'
