tire depth of the shaft, namely 331
feet, being 10 feet. We expect to
have the compartment finished on
the 5th, and commence sinking the
shaft at once. The mill is looking
the same as at last report.

Gilpin, whose friends extend far and
wide, received beautiful New Years
present on Monday, at the time he
was sworn into office. 1t was beau

of the affair is, Mr.. Gilpin has not
the remotest idea who the generous
donor can be. That's what he gets
for being so popular. We will
guarantee he fills the chair, during
his term of Office, with credit to him
self and to the satisfaction of his
many friends. An elegant gift, wor-
thily bestowed.
