The ATLANTIC. - Everything is
looking we'll in the tunnel, the
face still showing rich ore, and
work is progressing steadily for
ward. A good quality Of ore is still
being extracted. We were informed
yesterday by Superintendent Aitken
that he had concluded arrangements
for having the ore reduced at the
Boston mill, and that it will COM
mence crushing about the first of
May. If few more of our mines
would commence milling the ore
now in sight, instead Of waiting for

A WAsHoE CANARY.-A cores
pendent, who evidently never lived
in Nevada, wants to know "the differ
ence between q Washoe canary and
a canary of the ordinary kinda"
There isn't much difference that we
can discover, barring that the ordi-
nary bird has but two legs, while the
Washoe warbler wears four, has his
wings somewhat more forward, and
instead of flying in the air, generally
follows Chinaman around the streets
with a big load of stovewood piled
on his back. Some people would
call a jackass Washoe canary
