DoDGEvILLE MINING CoMPANY-This
company, formed two or three years ago have
been during that time, at considerable eypcn,e
running level up ravine to dren the mines
in and near the village Of Dodgeyile. From
the place of commencement to the objective
point is a distance of about two miles. Some
two or three hundred yards Of this distance
is now worked, and, We are assured, the pros
pect at present is very encouraging. Though
the work done thus far has paid nothing TO
the company, it is thought that from this time
there may be at least sufficient ore taken ont
10 cover the expense Of driving the level to its
proposed end. Every one interested IA the
development of our mines will be rlad to
hear this, and hope the most sanguine ex-
pectations Of the parties interested NAV be
\ully realized. The parties who have been
most faithful ard industrious in prosecuting
the work are not capitalists but men of lin
tied means, and therefore they are entitled TO
especial credit for pushing on the work.

Il. Il. MEETING AT DoDsEvILLE We
learn, unottcially, thatthe Common Coun.
Gil and Town Board of this City and Town,
and the Town Board of Doagevlle, had
a meeting in the latter place last Monday
for the purpose of consulting as to the
probability and advisabiliy of a compro.
mise with the holders of the Iowa county
Bonds, on basis that will secure the
extension Of the railroad from Mineral
Point aorthward via Dodgeville.
The general expression Of the meeting
was to the effect that those present were
satisfied that an extension Of the road at
an early day, either via Miiilin or via
Dodgeville,w " as more than probable; and
that the adoption of the first named route
would be extremely disastrous to bo h
Mineral Point and Dodgeyille The
opinion also seemed to prevail that if
properly managed, n compromise could
be effected by payment of 90 per cent of
the claims against the county.
After considerable discussion charac.
teriaed by much harmony and unanimi>
ty, committee of eight-four from the
city and town of Mineral Point, and four
from the village and town of Dodgevillo-
were appointed to inquire, and as far as
possible ascertain, what arc the chances
for sett ement, and for the extension of the
road through the center of the county.
1t is gratifying to us to find, us this
meeting proves, that the people Of Min
eral Point and Dodgeville are beginning
to see that, as we have consistently
maintained, the interests of the two places
in the extension of the road are idcntical
and vital. More than six months tgo
the TRIBUNE said what this meeting now
says: That the extension Of the road at
an early day, by some route in this vi,
cinity, is sure to be made, and that the
vital interests of Mineral Point and
Dodgeville demand that it be through
these two towns.
Not being present at the meeting, and
having no connected report Of it, our in
formation regarding it may be somewhat
incorrect but we think it is not sabstan-
tally SO, The committee, we understand
will commence operations at an early
day, and report at an adjourned meeting
to be held in this city within two or three
weeks.
We begin to see the silver lining to
the cloud overhanging us.

Cormich et Bro, and to tie Fe,mers Of the
country goteralN:
We are glad now to be ablc to announce
that we are again up aud doing, ready to
renew the Battle of the Reapers," which
we have won upon 50 many fields, and are
no less determined than ever 10 win upon
many others
We have sustained an Unprecedented
shock in the great calamity that has fallen
upon our city but have been stunned only
70 rise with renewed energy and determina-
tion. Chicago has the position, and the
ability to hoid the lead in the business
enterprise and prosperity OF the Great
Northwest; an @e as in the front of the
manufacturing interests of Chicago, must
take no step backward ! Nay, more;
Having originated and led the Reaping
and Moving interests of the mo'M to the
present tiiee, we still aspire to tseM la'rels
in our position before the world. We
have not felt IL necessary from year to
year to keep before the public eye what
everybody knows but we may be excused
at this time for reHiaFthy the farmers Of
the country that we have awarded to US
the highest premiums of all the great
National and International Exeb.ions of
the world from the Gold Medal of tho
American Institute, In isi5, and the Grand
Council MEDAL of the trst Great lnternation.

having manufactured and sold by FAR great
er number of these machines than any
o,lter .sdIer--we are not quite ready, VIC
say, To withdraw from the business, or to
retire 20 the country for manufacturing, as
our good friends @ have sometimes had it
We need not say that We have had much
to do in putting forward our rebuilding
operations, in Stores, Bank and OAicc
buildings as well as in temporarily re-
building, our Reaper Works We could
not afford to be out Of the feld--eaving
our position in the next harvest to be sup
piled by competing builders--at whatever
cost TO u.s. so far to rebuild the old demoi
ished works as 10 enable us to provide n
supply Of Machines; and it will be readily
understood that we have not been idle
when we say that these works are again in
full operation, equipped with the newest
and best machinery to be found In the
market--to be kept in operation day and
right, when required, to meet the necessity
Of our situation.
Trusting that we shall survive this trial
we shall need and will expect continuance
Of the sympathy and favor so generously
extended TO NJ thus far.
1t II hardly necessary to add at this timo
that, ere the return Of another years manu-.
incturing. we intend to be provided with
new manufacturing establishment that
shall be equal to all demands that may be
made upon us throughout the country, and
inferior in no respect, prehaps, to any
other Of It's kind any where.

BE CAREFUL-Just now everything
is favorable for destructive CONGREGATIONS
The intense heat ofthe sun beating down
upon shingle roofs dries them into a con.
dition that catches and retains fire, that
would be entirely innocent at other sea-
sons OF the year. The same influence
operates upon greasy rags, clothes satu.
rated with oil, turpentine, varniSh, paint
&C., and causes them to take fire by what
is called spontaneous combustion. y
Every one, therefore, should be extra
careful, Holes and corners under stair,
ways, and hooks in dark closets should
be looked after, and all the old concealed
rags and rubbish cleared out There
are many substances such as those we
have already indicated that will generate
heat enough to develop into active fire
under the high temperature of the last
two or three days, and no such offal or
rubbish or rigs or cloths should be left in
dark, neglected corners. Paint shops.
vanishing rooms, machine rooms, where
cotton waste is used for wiping of oiled
machinery, drug hops, chemical ware.
houses, dlstllleries, &C., require particular
attention, When wood work is dried
until 1t is almost charred, and there is at
the same time short supply Of water, it
would require but q small fire and a high
wind to, produce a destructive conaagra.
