IT seems TO US that an effort should be
made to make pike from the toll gate ON
the Somerset road to IIale's Chalybeate
Springs, only two miles. ltwould enable
our citizens to get their wood and other
timber conveniently, and also give them a
nice drive to a fne mineral Spring. Sever
al Of our citizens have suggested that il he
built this Summer, and are willing to con-
tribute literally toward the enterprise, and
perhaps our Trustees might be induced to
lend a helping hand. $1,000 would make
an excellent road, as slate and giavel are
abundant right along the way.

Our town and vicinity were pretty much
depopulated to-day, having joined largely
in a picnic on the Rolling Fork, in Casey

large, judging from the number Of well
filled vehicles which thronged the road 20

from the absurd, unsightly and unsocial
"sulky," to the commodious and elegant
family carriage, was represented. Every
type of horse from the gay and dashing
thoroughbred, to the quaint, plodding and
dependent looking dung HILL" was on
the road Every style Of "rig" that fancy
could suggest, or necessity devise, was call
ed into requisition. Youth and beauty and
age, and ugliness, and kaufman contribu-
ted to swell the throng. We learn that the
latter escaped liquefaction by being consid-
eraiely done up in an ice-paek, and sent
home in refrigerator. The day is report
ed to have passed of quietly and pleasant

Wolford, the renowned warrior and jurist,
divine and philanthropist, Of Liberty, Mr..
Demarn, whose name appears conspicuous

long ago. Not having been informed as

THE MANMATTAN.

In the Superintendent's letter Of the
oath instant, to the Board Of Directors
in San Francisco, we find the following
encouraging account of the condition
of the company's property in Austin:
The average of the ores worked during
the past week IL S193 81 per ton. At
the Frost shaft the slopes above the
800 level are nov turning out a better
quality OF ore than usual and continue
to yield lie desired quantity. The
800 fUo east drift continues in fine ore.
This drift is new in a distance of 160
feet and has been run in rich ore the
entire distance, which shows that the
chimney is increasing in width Chat is,
length wise OH the vein) as we 60 down.
The 500-foot west drift has been run a
distance of 40 feet from the cross-cut,
is in a large vein of average milling
ore, and shows indications of another
chimney to the west Of the one now
being worked. The slopes above the
$40 foot level continued the same. At
the Curtis shaft sinking has been re.
sumed from the $50 foot level. which
will be continued down to the SOB foot
station-43 feet deeper, which will be
the last station for the present. From
this (603 FOOT station u cross.cut will be
run to The Panamint ledge, which will
open up another rs feet of slopes, max
ing l50 feet TO the 517- foot level. The
Slopes above the 5l7-foot level, both
east and west show a material improve
nent during the past week. The
ledge continues full as large while the
grade of ore has improved. The east
drift continues a large vein of high
grade ore. In the Bowman incline the
800 foot east Panamint breast still
shows the same exceedingly rich ore.
Yesterdays sample assay was 1913 81
per ton. We ship to day IL bars, val
ued at BIZ 200 46, making total for the
week S23 ,569 81.
