thing in which she finds good range
for admirable acting, and in play

We are sorry to learn that Miss

short, as the longer she stays, and
the better our people become ac-

will like her. She should have a

SILVER HILL.


The recent extensive new machi-
merry and improvements put up at
the Silver Hill are such as convey
the impression to an outsider that
those who are on the inside" and
know best, have the utmost conf
dence in, if not positive knowledge
of, the wealth and extent of the
mine. For certainly the lavish,
though judicious, expenditure in
machinery just erected, would not
have been made under circumstan-
ces other than prospects of the
most flattering and unmistakable
character. No superintendent OF
such acknowledged good judgment
as Mr.. vandewater, would risk his
reputation as judicious financier
by even recommending an outlay
of 100000 in new machinery, did
he not have well-based information
of the ability of the mine to justify
it. We cannot at this time give so
perfect an account of the mine and
the recent outlay which has been
made, as we desire, but content
ourselves by submitting a few
items. The improvements include
a 24-inch cylinder, pocket and
valve, engine to be used in driving
a 13-inch pump for clearing the
mine of water. This pump is
probably more complete and valu-
able than any on the Comstock, and
is capable of raising eighty thous-
and gallons of water per hour, or
nearly 100000 gallons every "a
hours. 1t works like charm.
The new engine is of 25O-horse
power, and can be started up with
10 pounds Of steam, SO perfect is
everything in its construction.
This immense power will enable
the sinking of the shaft to a depth
of $500 feet, so that additional
power will not likely be required
in developing the mine for some
time to come. The foundation up
on which the machinery rests is a
of so immense pro-
portions that an adequate idea of
its construction, and the labor
which it has required, can only be
gained by personal observation.
Il contains over 1000 perch of
solid masonry, upon which is bolt
extra heavy iron and the immense
stone bed plates, affording the
firmest and most substantial base
imaginable, and allowing the great
weight of machinery to work so
smoothly that one does not per-
ceive the slightest jar or friction in
its movement. In all, there has
been over 200 tons of new appli-
ances erected, and a large portion
of the old machinery, engine, etc,
will be made available in the work
of hosting, which is now done by
one engine. The complete outfit
as it now stands is one of the most
effective works we have visited.
Work on the main shaft has been
and the rock is blasting
as accommodatingly as could be
depth of 345 feet being
now attained. Much prospecting
has been done during the past year
on the second and third levels, in
ducing the most fattering belief
that as greater depth is reached
the ledge will develop into silver
ore body of great value.
The developments, if several years
of experience has taught us any
thing, have been made with most
excellent judgment, and with a
that speaks volumes
of commentator for those who
have had the work in charge. We
are under obligations to Superin-
tendent Vandewater and the gentle
manly book-keeper, Mr.. Perkins,
for appreciated courtesies at the
mine.
