engaged on the wood work, we learn that
matters are being pushed ahead as fast as
possible under the circumstances. While
awaiting the arrival of mill timber, etc.,
the machinists are engaged getting the
shaftng, engine and other appliances in
order, and the carpenters are employed
building a machine shop to repair and
overhaul the different portions of ma
chinery bent and twisted in the fire.
OF one thing we can all rest assured, that
under the able superintendent Of Mont
gomery, with Rowell to assist, no delay
need be anticipated, and a complete job
be relied upon. Manager Frank Drake
is expected back shortly from below,
where he is attending to business con-
nected with the materials to be used in
construction. The mill will consist of
80 stamps and work exclusively upon
ores from the Eberhardt & Aurora COM
pany's mines.
EGAN CANYoN.-We are informed that
work has been suspended temporarily
IN the valuable mines belonging to the
company operating at that place on ac-
count of water in the shaft of the princi-
pal mine, which is now 400 feet deep.
The Cornish pump, possessing the power
Of bringing up large quantities Of water,
has been ordered and will soon be put in
position, when renewed activity will be
the order of the day. Judge O'Connor,
who is connected with the property, is
confident of having the splendid 20-stamp
mill situated there soon in full operation.
We have much to look for from this Sec
ton of the county, and have every as
surance that our anticipations may be
more than realized the coming season.
At least if energy and perseverance has
aught to dc, with success, then may we
be confident of a good result at Egan
Canyon.
ONE OF THE OLD STocK.-We had the
pleasure OF shaking hands with Mr..
Murphy, a gentleman from San Jose,
during the week, who is here on business
connected with large herds of cattle be-
longing to him. Mr.. Murphy came the
plains across in A, being among the
earliest of the Pacific Coast pioneers.
1t is pleasant to meet one of these old
timers; they seem to carry the freshness
Of youth with them, Notwithstanding
their silvery locks. They are the rep
resentatiye pioneers who unlocked the
treasures of nature on this coast, and
opened up II field for the enterprise and
prosperity of future generations. Mr..
NJ. departed in company with j.. K.
Wilmington, to look after some 5000
head of stock which he expects from
California.

quarry Of sand stone ON Pancake rang,
of mountains the other day, and were
surprised to see the fine appearance,
of the rock as also its accessible situation
being directly on the travelled road
handy at all times for teams, etc. Some
of this stone has been used at Eureka,
Railroad District, and a shipment is soor
to be made to Mineral City for use by the
Canton Company. We are informed that
thus far its use has been attended with
most satisfactory results, and, in view Of
