Smith. The stage was neatly decor
ated, and everything passed of smooth
ly and we'll, the entertainment being
the most pleasing and interesting wit
messed In Gold Hill for many a long
day. The programme included
n variety of ballads, duets,
choruSes, declarations and de-
lineative pieces in costume, and the
degree of merit attained and demon
strated testified very credltably not
only to the well-directed endeavors Of
the scholars but to the arduous efforts

ment highly creditable to all concerned.

An IMMENSE CAsTTNe.-By invita-
ton of Taylor s. Co., proprietors of
the Pacific Cooperative Foundry, in
Lower Gold Hill, We were present
last evening and saw the operation Of
casting the largest pan on the Pacific
coast, and perhaps In tho world. The
process of melting the iron In the
cupola, drawing the moulten and
white heated metal therefrom Into \
large ladle Of four and a half tons ca.
pacity, and then raising the ladle and
| pouring it into the mould, all at n
time, was quite interesting to witness.
The portion of the pan cast last night
was the bottom and two and a half
feet of the sides, to accomplish which
required nine thousand pounds OF
iron. The pan is to be seven feet in
depth. and it will require two more
sections, which will be cast In n day
or two, and when completed with the
cone and other APPENDICES will weigh
fourteen tons. Its diameter will be
eight and a half feet, and Its circum-
ference n little over twenty-siS feet.
The moulders of this immense casting
were VIM. Lloyd and Chas. Manhart,
| who have shown themselves mechanic,
we may safely say, with no equals OH
| the Pacific coast. After the pan was
cast last night, another very important
| casting was also made, the cone for the
pan, which required $500 pounds OF
iron, and vas accomplished with the
same success rs the pan. This casting
was perhaps more difficult than really
the pan was, its length being nearly
ten feet. Mr.. Lloyd accomplished this
moulding BY himself, and Is entitled
to no ordinary credit rs a perfect me-
chanic. In a few days a ''settler " Is
to be cast, to correspond with the
above pan, which Is to be twelve feet
In diameter, thirty-seven feet In cir
conference. nine feet high, and Is to
weigh eight tons. All this heavy ma
chinery is for Park & Bowie, OF Six
Mile Canyon, in working the tailings,
shines and slums Of Comstock ore.
Success to the jolly and hard working
boys of the Pacific Cooperative Foun-
dry, Of lower Gold Hill.
