CARSON ~IrEMs.-We:extract the fol-
lowing from the Register Of this morn
ing: Superintendent Rice, having re-
ceiyed his dies from San Francisco,
commenced work in earnest at the
Mint yesterday. Owing to the deten-
ton of his dies from the East, by the
blockade on the railroad, he was forced
TO borrow some from the California
Mint, in order to enable him to meet
the necessities of the community, who
are dependent to q great extent upon
this institution for coin for home pur-
noses. Yesterday was employed In
turning out half dollars at the rate Of
about seventy pieces u minute, and to-
day some 800, 600 In gold-$2O pieces
will be finished and ready for circula-
ton. Altogether, the institution Is a
success, a credit to the State, and re-
fleets honor upon Its present manage
ment. Extensive and important I'm
provements are being made in the re-
timing room. which will greatly facili-
tate In the general workings and econ
omy of that department. The neat ap-
pearance Of tho rooms; tho business
like manner Of conducting matters,
and the gentlemanly department Of
the employees, are noticeable. Every
thing moves like clock-work In and
about the premises during working
hours. From this time forward, through
out the Spring and Summer, business
will steadily grow and augment Into
figures little dreamed Of when the In
stftution was first projected. 80. Nat.

of fire-crackers, which no was settling
Off for the fun Of the thing. when fire
from a cracker got into the powder can,

Posi- MoRTEM ExAMINATIoN.-Drs.
Kirby, Of Gold Hill, and Weber, Of
Virginia, last evening made an autopsy
or post mortem examination Of the
body of Mr.. Lynch, in order to ascer-
tain the true cause Of his death. The
lungs, heart and liver were found to
be in good healthy condition, and his
death was the result q cancerous con-
dition of the stomach. Two large holes
were eaten entirely through the walls
Of the stomach by %cancerous ulcers,
and one side of the stomach was found
adhering to the liver. All the surround
ing parts Immediately attached to the
stomach were In a diseased state,
and the duodenum, or passage from
the stomach to the bowels, very
much so. The hemorrhage was caused
by the cancers eating into the blood
vessels. 1t appears that this disease
of which Mr.. Lynch died, was heredi-
tary in his family, his father having
come to his death in the same way.

vs.. Caledonia has been sent back from
