Shipments of bullion for the week ST.
1882, and large amounts on hand.
We continue to have delightful, sum-
ner-hke weather, and those engaged III
hauling ores to the mills at Bullionville
are turning it to the best advantage.
Their ponderous wagons are constantly
seen going and coming, ore freighters
seemingly being determined to reduce
the dump piles as much as possible be-
fore the competition-defying narrow
galso gets under Roadway. And under
srOand, as well, increased activity seems
to be the order OF the day. Work has
teen resumed in the Townsend, SUM-
beam and other mines, and in still others
the forces have been greatly increased.
4 more healthy tone is manifest in gene
al business. We believe there are few
good miners out of employment, who
have not engaged to go to work at an
Early day. The great winter rush from
cher camps is undoubtedly over, and
h! business interests stand on a more
substantial footing.
The near approach of the epizootic,
nid to be raging in the settlements to
he northward, even resulting in the sus-
pension of stage travel in some sections,
causes but little uneasiness here. 1t can
nave but slight effect, at the worst, on
our mining interests. Should it appear

'auon from mines to mills would no,
