ing after that same rich deposit or
some other Just as good or just as likely
to exist at a similar depth. The stocks
In all these mines mentioned are up In
consequence of these improvements
and decidedly good prospects. Even
the Caledonia Company have devel-
oded some very good ore at their 400
foot level, and their future prospects
In that line are much improved. The
Yellow Jacket Company is very likely
to strike something good at their low
est levels before long. and we hope
the good developments may be event
ually found to extend further north
among the mines of Gold Hill. So
much for the south end of the Com
stock. Everybody as we'll rs ourself,
of course wishes all the rest of the
ledge, even to its extreme north end,
to come out all right.
Butte MINING CoMpANY.-From Jim
Handley, a we'll known old resident
Of Virginia, who returned this morn
ing from q few months absence out IN
Humboldt county, we get the follow
ing items relative to the mine and
mill of the above company, situated at
Galena. 4 flourishing little mining
town fourteen miles south of Battle
Mountain Station, on the Central Pa
cific Railroad. in Humboldt county.
The company Is composed of moneyed
residents of Gold Hill, Virginia aud
San Francisco, and they sent Handley
out there to run their mill, which he
did, having full charge and manage
ment of the same till a few days ago,
when the company concluded to suS-
pend further operations at present, rs
they were not making it pay. They
have in reality two mines, the Trinity
and Butte. both Of which are we'll
opened and developed, showing large,
well defined permanent lodges rich In
argentiferouS galena ore. ms ore
assays nearly or quite $500 per ton III
silver, but the galena combined with
it Is the cause of its Improbable work
ing. The mill Is an excellent one
of fifteen stamps, and worked the
ore by the usual wet process.
This being found to operate unprotita-
bly, the company are now taking into
consideration the idea of erecting a
roasting furnace and changing their
mill so rs to work the ore by the dry
crushing process, drying the ore first,
crushing it dry, and afterward roast
ing the pulp before it goes to the grind
ing and amalgamating pans. This plan
would doubtless prove n success, as 1t
has done in many similar instances.
Handley speaks very highly Of the
mines, mill aud prospects Of the COM
pany, as we'll rs Of the mineral wealth
of that section. and will remain for n
while r~usticating at Virginia, and en-.
loving the society Of his numerous old
friends and companions.
JEWISH NEW YEAR.-We noticed
that all the strictly observant among
the Jewish population Of Virginia and
Gold Hill had their places OF business
closed at sunset last evening, that
being the commencement OF their New
Year. The observance OF 1t continues
to-day and tomorrow. 1t Is the COM
mencement of the year 5,632, dating
from the creation Of the world. In
Jewish communities, of all their festi.
walls, excepting the Day of Atonement,
none are more strictly observed. AL
work and labor Is suspended and
places of business are kept closed.
The two days are devoted to rejoicing,
thanksgiving and feasting. In order
that the poor may share with those
possessed Of worldly goods, and enjoy
the New Year, the Benevolent Socie'
ties aud private individuals give extra
large donations. The services held nj
the synagogues are impressive and
solemn.
