INTERNATIONAL MILL.-During the
week. while at Eberhardt, we looked in
on James Montgomery, the engineer in
charge of construction, and found mat
ters about the mill in a forward state of
preparation. The half-burnt and badly
twisted machinery has been collected,
and men are busily at work scraping off
iron rust, stacking up bolts, nuts, screws,
ETC., ready for use in the various places
they may be needed. We found Mont
gomery at work, as usual, directing, super
vising, and, at the time of our visit, busily
engaged rigging" al ingenious machine
to be used in Strengthening the heavy
shafting, saved from the old mill, ready
for service in the new. From him and
Perlia Rowell, we gather that the mill
building proper is to be l54 feet long,
with machine shop and outbuildings ad-
ditional. There are to be 30 stamps, with
16 pans, eight settlers and four agitators,
making a crushing capacity of 40 tons of
ore per day. Much of the heavy timber,
not destroyed by the fire, will be used in
construction, and but little new machin-
cry, if any, will be required in fact,
from the appearance of things, the ener-
getic engineer seems to be making ar
rangements to manufacture all missing
portions on the spot. We congratulate
Captain Drake on his selection of Mr..
Montgomery TO conduct the work Of con-
struction, feeling assured that he will
have as good a job performed, at less ex-'
pense, by him than any one else in the
country. We shall watch the building
of the new international with much anx-
iety, and hail it as a bright day for this
section on which it commences work in
earnest.
DEFIANCE MrSE.-W. II. McCanley,
one of the original prospectors of White
Pine District, and formerly an owner in
the famous Eberhardt, one-half of which
he sold for S25, las again been success
full in discoverinea valuable mining prop
erty in Robinson District. The name of
the mine is the Defiance, and is owned
by MeCauley, I. Z. Yates and John Hall.
A shaft has been sunk a depth Of 80 feet,
at which point a level was run easterly
in a large body Of good milling ore, as
saying on an average some S35 per ton,
There are now $50 IONS Of pay ore on the
dump, aud the mine is being constantly
worked in a large body Of mineral. As
soon as the Watson ~Company's mill is
finished the owners of the Defiance in
tend having a quantity of rock worked
there, the proceeds Of which will enable
them to carry ON their work Of develop
ment. 1t has been our wish to make
mention of all promising mining interests
throughout the county, and we are pleas
ed to have our mine owners and pros
peetors call and give us all information
regarding their respective properties. We
regard the business Of extracting and re-
dneing ores AS the leading interest Of the
country, and consequently are always in
search of information that will prove Of
benefit and use to all.
Null AT SHERMASrowS.-J. b. Os-
borne's tailings mill at Shermantown is
rapidly assuming an appearance of com
pleteness, and, we are informed, that il
will soon be ready for IA start. In view
of the fact of the many improvements
which have been added, we can conf
IDENTITY predict a success. There is a good
lot of money to be realized from the en-
terprise. and we know Of no man whom
we would rather see make it than our
friend Osborne. As soon as all is ready
for a start, we shall visit the mill and give
a description of it.
BUILDING IN GENERAL.-Since our last
issue renewed activity has been manifest
among our merchants and others on Main
street, and new houses are springing up,
as by magic, on every lot. In the course
of two or three weeks people will wonder
where the fire was, and what new town is
being built up. Old residents would
scarcely know the place in fact the fire,
through the indomitable energy of our
people, seems to have increased our pros
perity instead of diminishing it.
FoUR PRISONERS FOR CARsoN.--Harry
Smith, convicted of the crime Of grand
larceny, on Treasure Hill, was SEN
fenced to N years imprisonment
q. Mitchell and Charles Wray (colored)

W. ii. Bethards, for murder in the sec
ond degree, Is years, all went to Carson
yesterday in charge of a deputy sheriff.
This is quite an invoice from a peaceable
county.
STANFORD MrLL.-This fine mill is ON
stantly running ON rock from the mines
