Il quartz mill. after the many admirable
articles that have been written concern
iny such things by more experienced and
expert pens than oars. But Mr.. Elstner
has introduced one arrangement which
is novel and important. and which is en-
titled to special mention. 1t is that OF q
small blanketed sluice over which the
washings from the amalgam are run.
This s,Li.e has been running about five
months; and in that time it has saved
quite as much as three tons of tailinGs

These driblets tthe saving Of which in

redemption If they were allowed to float

for they are Of such chemical peculiarly
Of composition as to defy any but the
very incest and most skillful manipuls-
ton. They must be kept apart and
worked by themselves to be of any prac-
tical value. A small donkey engine. fed
which supplies hot water ard steam

perintendent is . larger and handsomer
house than any private dwelling in Car
son and is very elegantly furnished. and
il surrounded by grounds which, when
Mr.. Elstner's plans are perfected. will
be scarcely less than lu1uriant. West of
the house, and on . line With it, Mr..
Elstner il constructing peculiarly
shaped menagerie''-as he calls it.
This affair, when completed, will look
like . cross between q Chinese pagods
and . glorifed dog-kennel: and in it
Elstner means to keep Q happy family Of
rabbits, squirrels, birds, dwarf donkeys,
&c. We would as soon think Of at
tempting . description Of tie labyrinths
of Herculaneum az to try and describe
this projected curiosity shop. The
Boarding house for the men is quite

thing under Mr.. Elstner's supervision.
is q model of neatness. Across the
street, upon the rivers bank is the
etable. Its arrangements betoken an ex-
cellent skill in planning, and wise econ
omy of space. Outside Of. and attached
to, the stable 10 . current-driven water
wheel, carried by the action of the water
in the mill race. This wheel works q
pump which fills a large tank on the
ridge pole of the stable, and from this
constantly filed tank, water is conveyed
by pipes, in all directions. Then there
IS the ice house and the neat and cosy
"office - and the neat and cosy carpen-
ter shop and the suspension bridge
leading across the river to the new SLIM
tanks-all admirable parts Of an equally
admirable general system. Between the
mill and the dwelling is the blacksmith
shop, quite . machine shop in itself.
Everywhere and in all possible direc
tions are facilities for heaving great Jets
OF water upon whatever fires may come
10 threaten disaster and destruction.
This great mill is now crushing about
siItv-three tons of ore per day. Iester-
day there were thirty-slx stamps and
and eight pans running. A less number
Of stamps than this could do all the
work possible to be done with the pres
ent head of water, but they are set in
motion in order to distribute more sand
to the sand floor and equaliZe the work |
ing of the mill. The Crown Point Com
pany have reason to be proud of this
mill and its surroundings and satisfied
with the administration of affairs under |
the ambitious vet economical and faith |
ful management Of Mr.. Superintendent
Elstner.

interruption. The Morgan mill will
