Frees, of the tic Frees mino at Tussar-
ora, who has just returned from San
Francisco whcro he has bean engaged
iii prosecuting extensive arrangements
for the successful working Of the COM
pany's valuable property. informs us
TINT the machinery for twcnty.sta1np
mill has been ordered by the company,
which will DC here for shipment in two
weeks. lie proposes to increase the
working forco upon the minc in,ncI-
intely, and grading for the mill will
shortly be commenced oil the slope of
tho hill near tho entrance to tho main
tunnel. The position selected is an
excellent one, both for the natural adj
rantages Of the ground md its convcu-
iencc TO the buse OF supplies. We were
shown drawing OF the Mill by de
Frees, and i'll the design is embraced
nll the improvements in Arrangement of
the various departments which long and
intelligent experience has from Time TO
tlme' suggested. The mill is to be first
class in NIL its appointments, and every
detail which could add TO its cnivcn-
fence, thereby reducing cost in the ex-
traction of the precious metal, has
been duly considered. by locating the
mill directly Mt tho mine, tho expense
of ore transportation is cilectuallv an
nu!led. The mine during the las: win
ter has been thoroughly prospected and
inc. Nein' both IN si*e and quality of
orc improves with dcp,h. On tho 300
foot leTel drifts have hecn run each
way from the shaft, showing ledge of
excellent ore from five to six feet in
width. The work Of stopping will con-
mence in few days; the design icing
to have large quantity of ore upon
the surface by Tie time the stamps arc
ready to perform their functions. The
de Frees Company is composed of sub
sianti9l. nnd principally, mining men,
which fhct induces the belief that its
affairs will be intclligcntly conducted,
ana that through the Judicious manage.
ment Of its fine property not only. the
company, but the entire district wifi re-
ceived substantial benefits.
