HILLSIDE.
Are pushing the wagon road up to the
mine as fast as possible; hope to COM
plete it and commence the work Of ship
ping ore to the furnace in about ten
days. Have the contract for coal and
wood, 80 that the furnace will start about
the Goth or 25th. The mine continues to
improve and have large amount of ore
in sight.
Work continues in this mine without
any particular change to note. In our
last report the statement that the winze
below the 18th level was ''in on water"
was incorrect; it should have read. twas
in ore matter"
The same work going on as heretofore
sinking the winze and stopping out ore.
The ore has improved in quality some
what during the past week. Nothing
outside OF the above report.
JUNCTION.
Are now down on this mine 90 feet;
have q fair vein of ore at that depth,
assays FROM which go $262,50. Intend
starting level at this depth.
MAYFLowER.
Still continue the work of sinking and
pushing the incline down.

PREsENTATIoN.-Ab. Polleys being Of
late much troubled with the disease
called opthalmia his friends resolved to
assist him little, 80 they accordingly had
made to order at Joe Eissnmann's store
q pair of large sized tin spectscles, which
were presented to him on Saturday
evening last. Alb. made little speech
in return for the gift. saying "that the
specs were rather large, but that was one
good fault. as if he could not use them
to see through he could use them to
to jump through"
MILWAUKEE BEER Friend Newman,
of the Panaca Saloon, received during
the past week q car load of Milwaukee
table beer, which is said to be the best

| Ben Taylor, oolored man. living il
this place, has lately returned from
| Washington, whittier he has been to sc
cure patent for q new steam epgin
which he invented, and which, il tn
judgm ent of many experienced and scien
tito men to whom be has shown hi
model is correct, is calculated to revolu
tionize the present application of steam
The engine is rotary, having the steam
applied at the circumference of wheel
giving this treble the force of ordinar
engines. with no diminishing of powe
ut the various stages OF the revolution o
the wheel. This invention dispense
with all the machinery except the on
wheel, which answers at once the pul
pose of cylinder and driving wheel, an
two steam boxes through which tn
steam is applied. 1t is estimated ths
engines on this plan can be manufacture
at one-fourth for less the cost of thos
now in use, aud their simplisity. and tn
, possibility of making them of extremel
light weight will extend the use OF steaI
engines beyond the present limit. Be
Taylor, the inventor, is sort OF me
ohanioal genius. having before manifesto
an insight into mechanics of no ordinar
a degree. His inventions, il nothing fails
and the probabilities are in his favor
, will rank him among the first inventor
. of the day. Rosedale (Miss) Journal.
The flying fox il a very curious in
habitant of the forest near Moreton Bay
: in East Australia. 1t lives in focks an
, moves generally toward the dusk of th
, evening. and the noise produced by tn
, heavy Tapping Of the so called wing
; is very singular. The focks like quit
places, where they are large arsuoaria
trees. with an underwood Of scrub an
, oreepers. The foxes hang in vast nun
bers from the horizantal branches OF th
pine trees. when there is cles
space among the trees. an enormou
number of the animals may be seen, an
their noise can be heard. for directl
b they see anything unusal, they utter
q short bark.
