HIGHLAND.-We Yesterday, in COM
pany with Louis Sultan and Matt
Halpin, visited the smelling works in
and around Highland. The first place
visited was the reverberatory furnace be-
longing to r. Glover and John Dowell.
We found that it was capable of running
through four tons every "a hours. They
are getting ore from the various mines in
the neighborhood and have about 40
tons on hand. They have been running
before and exhibited to us some of the
bullion of the last run. They intend
starting again in a few days and will
work eight men. We then visited the
works of the Eagle Smelling Gold and
Silver Mining Company, owned by Gar
rlson Bros, Robinson and Milligsn.
They are situated about eight miles west
OF Phoebe, at the foot of the Arizona
mine. The mine is situated abont $50
feet above the smelling works, and has
on 1t an eight-horse power vertial en-
CINE for hosting, etc. I Garrison has
recently connected with this engine
a loot Blower, which, being worked by
the engine, sends a draft into the
furnace. This Is very novel arrange
ment and can not be very we'll described
as 1t needs personal view to describe il.
Connected with the mine and furnace ia
a tramway, which conveys ore from the
mine to the furnace dump; this was con-
structed by VIM. Milligan. On Monday
last they tried their engine and furnace
and found they worked well. Their
tank, however, was not large enough to
hold a sufficient quantity of water and
was also too near the engine, SO that the
water got heated. in consequence of
which they will have to build a larger
tank, which will hold 5000 gallons,
There Is also connected with the works
Tine blacksmith-shop, which is doing
all kinds Of work. On the dump ut the
furnace Is 100 tons of fine smelling ore.
from which they calculate to start and
run through about ten tons daily, All
the men connected with both OF these
furnaces are mechanics and know what
they are about. SO we may expect to hear
OF good results. In conclusion. we havs
to return thanks for the attention Daid
lls. Mllligan mixed us some A No. |
New orleans cocktails, and all the rest
OF them did their best to make our visit
pleasant.
IN the practicing last evening of
Phoebe Hose Co. No. /, Xiv. Phillips
was placed as pipe holder, and he did
well. Owing to the immense standing
collar he had on he could not see very
we'll how to hold it. the pipe and hose
took advantage of that and
commenced bucking, throwing Xiv. over
box in front of the shoe store on Laconr
street and wetting down several ladies'
and gentlemen passing, sluicing the |
street, breaking lamps, cbimneys, etc.
Next TIME the foreman allows him to
hold that pipe it is to be hooed there |
Will be less starch in that shrt-oollar.
P1ocHE HOSE No. 1.-Pioche Hose No.

showed themselves pretty proficient in
The art OF turning on water, etc., and sue
.eeded so well that they managed to wet
iown lot of manuscript and couple of
not lamp chimneys in the RECORD bnsi- |
ness ofhce. We will forgive them this |
lime, put don't want them to do il again.
Or we VIII annihilate foreman or two. |
