TAYLoR's SILVER WEsr-This new furnace.
says the Eureka Sentinel has been running
for the last week to the satisfaction of the
owners. The capacity Of the furnace is about
four tons of bullion per day, and the whole,
from the first shoyelful excayated, to the last
finishing touch, has been under the immediate
supervision Of that veteran smelter, Thomas
j. Taylor. He selected favorable location
for his business; and has done all with a view
to the success and permanence of his enter
prise. The ore to be worked will be from his
own mine, the Silver West, and he has also
made arrangements with the owners of the
Bullwhacker mine to smelt 5000 tons for them.
To those who ere interested in smelling, this
will be fair showing o. .he business in this
place. The furnace is not an expensive one,
and we shall be sadly disappointed if this en-
terprise will not be remunerative from the
start, and we believe that in 80 days the whole
outlay for furnace and machinery and good
pay for superintendent will be made. This
place needs 90 additional furnaces to smelt the
ore now being raised There is more ore than
can be smelted, and there are many mines
here that will produce ore that will make 5000
bullion that are not worked because the ore
can not be sold.
