The BLUE JAcKEr.-Our old friend
Jack Finley CAME down from, tho BULL
Run country, where he has been en-
gnged in making money for some time
past, by Fridays stage, and from him
wc learn that the :Blne jacket mine is
yielding plenty Of ore; tho vein i'm
proving as depth is gained. But the
most important and satisfactory change
is the steady improvement in tho quail
ity 81 that produced as the workmen
advance. Tho low grade OF the ore
anywhere near tho surface has been the
chief and IN fact the only, impcdimcnt
to success, but that now being obtained
is good pay ore; some Of which will
work up in tho hundreds. Tho Compa.
ny's mill is to start up about the first Of
May, when an additional number Of
men will be put upon the mine, which,
together with those necessarily en-.
ployed in and nbout tho mill, will con-
Stituto force of forty or fifty men; suf-
ticient to establish quite n flourishing
camp during tho coming Summer.
The Bord1 Miner, published in Column
bus, in this State, snys Of n. recent
COrnucopinn:
MIR. james n. Dawley. tho present
foreman Of the General Thomas mill,

ores III this district. lie worked 2III
tons Of orc raw, nnd obtained. 81 per
cent. Of tile pulp assay. The bullion
went 60 tine. lie is now running OH
batch OF 100 tons by the same process,
the result Of which il anxiously awaited.
II haSlUng been close question anon.
many Of tho millmcn who have worked
these ores whether it WIS most profit
nbic to work the lower grades raw or to
roast them, and ulso as to the point at
which the economy turned in favor of
one or the other process IN the result
OF these trials is involved n question of
unusual interest to this section, and in
the hnnds Of Il man of Mr. Dawley's ex.
perience it is possible that showing
mny be made which will demonstrate
that tho whole Of the cumbersome aud
expensive machinery for rous ting may
bo probably dispensed with.
