view of the work going Oh ut that place.
Bullionvi!ie now has the appearance of a
pretty lively camp, although small one.
The limited number of business mon
that arc there express themselves as well
pleased with their present business and
the future prospects Of the place. The
Raymond & Ely 30-stGmp mill had the
eighteen pans and eight settlers all at
work on tailiDgs, the ore cara being so
constructed as to run down into the tail
ing pit. load up and return with a supply
of the tailings for the pans. The supply
seems to be ineyhaustible. The .ailings
are worked with much mora satisfaction
now than on the first start the bullion
also being of a much finer quality.
Whilst We were in the mill, some of the
workmen were engaged in unloading a
Car filled with tailings, one man being
underneath digging out the wet stuff, the
parties on top in some manner let the car
drop from the platform, and, if it had not
been FOR the quick action of the man IN
dernenth in jumping one side, he would
have been crushed by the weight. The
blacksmith and repair shop of this COM
pany is constantly occupied in fixing ore
cara and other paraphernalia about the
mill. We are under obligations to
Tommy Dryer for the facilities afforded
US IN viewing around. The concentra.
ton works of Hugh White were in full
blast, doing good work and concentrat.
ing many tons Of tailings during the day.
The concentrations are very heavy, Civ
ing evidence of considerable metal. A
visit to the smelling furnace disclosed
the fact that 1t WAS not then running, hut
the large amount Of charcoal. iron ore,
and tin cans gathered around showed
that every preparation was being made
for an early start The Alps, or Ameri-
can Flag mill, was going TO it's full ca
pacity under the charge of John Collier,
five stamps being about to run on custom
ore. Several parties having custom ore
at the mill for crushing were waiting
anyiously their proper turn to take bat
terry samples. Ore at the Raymond &
Ely mill IS accommodating rapidly, pre-
paratory to starting tho batteries on it..
The 20stamp mill is at present engaged
in pumping up water for the mill, &c.
WEATHER REPORT. Through the
courtesy of W. II. Hall, Signal Service
officer at Phoebe, we have been enabled
to peruse the monthly weather review
for July, 1877, issued by the War De-
partment Office Of the Signal Service
Division, of reports for the benefit OF
commerce and agriculture. This review
for July contains all the data received up
to the l4th of August from the Canadian
Meteorological Service, the United States
Navy, the Army, Post Surgeons and the
United States Signal Service. The most
| interesting features in it are: first, the
few storms reported at sea; second, the
unusually large number of tornadoes 90.
curing the first ten days of July; third,
the general diminution of grasshoppers
and locusts, and the slight amount Of
damage done by them as compared with
the several years previous.
