Gold Hill never sleeps. Every eigh,
hours the miners who dig the ore from
our mines change. Every eight hours
a set of working men come up from the
depths and another set go down. The
ponderous machinery is going night and
day-pumping, hosting and lowering.
Ore is brought up and goes to the mills
the waste rock goes over the dump. So
it is day after day. month after month,
year after year. The ore is crushed and
made into bullion. The bullion takes
the form OF trade dollars, that are dis
counted from four to Ave per cent, and
sometimes said to BE- two or three cents
short on the hundred.
Upon the score of economy the direc.

This short paragraph shows that our
English cousins are beginning to learn
that the truest economy is that which
looks after the health and safety of the
laboring man. This fact has long ago
been discovered in the Comstock mines,
where the precautions to guard against
accident to miners are reduced in most
of the larger mines to as near perfect
system as they can be.-Silver City Re-
gister.
