SAN JOSE MINING CoMpANY.-The works
of this company are located in EganC Can
yon. in this county. who are pushing
development on the mines as fast as pos
sible. The principal work now being
done is in the tunnel, which is in q dis
lance OF over seven hundred feet, and is
being increased daily six Or seven feet by
the use of the Burfeigh drill, which works
admirably and requires but little steam
power and o small number of workmen.
The engine that drives the drill also fur
nishes power to run a circular saw for
fitting timbers, also to crack the barley
used by the company, to furnish blast
for the forge, to force air into the tunnel,
turning grindstone, etc. The manage,
ment is under the efficient superintend-
ence of Mr.. Haynes, who is well known
throughout White Pine county as an A /
mining man.. The company has done a
large amount Of work in their mines and
spent a good deal of money, and we hope
they may be well rewarded, and prob
ably will be when they have their tunnel
completed and commence to take out
ore. General Rosecrans and Judge o.
Conner, who have general supervision
of the company's affairs, are both in San
Francisco, but will soon return to the
works.
CHERRY CREEK.--The following intelli-
gence comes to as from this mining camp:
The Teacup is working its full compile
ment of men, and the mine is producing
large quantities of high-grade ore. The
mill belonging to the company has been
recently enlarged, and will soon COM
mence crushing ore for themselves and
the other mines in the district. The
Star Company is vigorously pushing the
drift running west from the 37O-foot
level. and are taking out ore that strongly
resembles the Austin sulphuret ores both
in appearance and richness. They are
also sinking below the 37O-foot level in
good ore. The active operations that are
now going on in the different mines has
produced q marked improvement in all
kinds of business, and the community
seem to be well contented with the future
outlook.
WARD DIsTRIcr.--We have been shown
some very rich rock just brought in from.
this immensely rich mining district,
which assays way up" in the thous-
ands. The specimen shown us was from
the Paymaster mine, and is the richest
silver specimen we have seen in many a
day. and the party having the specimen
says hat there is lots more in the mine
just like it. The Paymaster Company
only ship just enough of their good ore
to pay current expenses, and the balance
is sacked and piled away in their ore
house. The bullion shipments from this
district will be very large when reduc-
ton works are erected and working COM
mences. which will probably be next
Summer. All the mining news we re-
ceive from this district is of the most fiat
tering character.
CoLD.-Sheriff Raum informed MS last
week, that while he was at Mineral CITY
a few days before, the thermometer was
was IS degrees below zero. Thinking
that Ned had stretched his imagination
in regard to the cold, we RACED his state
ment down to 20 degrees; but he insists
that we did not tell the truth about it,
and that the thermometer did actually
mark Is degrees below zero while he was
at Mineral City. This is too cold for any
kind of comfort. s :

past two days has been performed under
difficulties. Thursday night Johnny
