Hon c. {. Stevenson, Gold Hill. Ne
vada received your favor Of the 2l.t
inst. vestcrdar, and have seen all the
machine and oundrymen of stand
| ing in the city. Prescott, scott 4 Co.,
say that some one spoke to them
about the five stamp mill they hal IN
| the Fair in this city last summer,
with n view TO taking il 70 Philalel-
PIMA for exhibition. Il is regular
! battery of 200 lbs; stamps and all the
parts in ihe same dininutivo pro

settler. syitatOr, Or other attachments. |
They zve some encouragement that |
they Juld allow it to 90 on, but |
were not yet decided whether they |

Foundry, Goddard & Co., would not
abate $50 from regular rates. They
saw no advantage in it but on the
contrary saw a chance that the plan
would be copied by Eastern manu-
facturers and result in loss of trade
to this Coast. The Miners Foundry, {
Palmer IL Co., would build
one at cost, but not less, and did not {
consider it would be desirable to do s
it even at that. The Fulton Foundry. {
Il Co., would be willing to
