THE DISCHARGED MINERS.
why tha bonanza Hands We're Laid
Oh.

The Lyon County ''Times" offers the
following in explanation of the laying-off
Of miners at the Bonanza mines: ''For
some time past, owing to a change in the
direction of the air currents, the heat in
the lower levels of the bonanza mines has
been almost insolerable. As many as fif-
teen men have been brought to the surface
overcome by the heat, during one shift,
and those who managed to hold out were
unable to work over ten minutes without
q rest in the cooling-off place. This was
deemed too expensive working, and it was
finally determined to lay off all the men
employed in hot ends and Slopes until
better ventilation is secured. In pursuance
OF this determination, about $50 men were
laid off last week at the bonanza Mines"

that will catch our amusement seekers, is

better travelling. They drew remarkably

viii be done away with entirely aud for
ever. As now being erected, each furnace
foundation, which has a slight elevation
above the surrounding surface, has been
provided with a
SUBSTANTIAL cAsr-IRoN PLATE,
Cast by sections, the better to ft and handle
it. These are firmly bolted together in
place, and the joints, so formed, are caulked
in such manner as will eifectually prevent
the flow of metal through either the sides
or the bottoms of the furnaces. The side
and corner ~plates--the latter Of which
are quarterscircle, giving to the ex-
terror of each furnace an exceedingly
Symmetrical oval shape-rest in grooves pre-
pared for them in the bottom castings.
By this continuance not only the bottoms.
but the wells and higher sections Of each
extending below the iron cupolas, are rem
d,red more thar ordinarily strong, besides
completely preventing the escapement OF
lead in any considerable quantity. Above
the horizontal or bottom plates is laid a
lining OF fire-rock, upon which, in turn,
is laid the composite stuff for the bottoms
or wells. Each furnace will have an in
terror measurement of five by eight feet
four inches in the clear, and the blast will
be supplied by nino tweers, four on each
side and one on the rear end. The reduc'
ton capacity of each is guaged at 10 tons
per diem, or an aggregate Of
Two AND TEN TONS
For the same period. From the foregoing

many advantages and projections which

soon will be, not possessed by those which
they have displaced. The entire works ar,
to be covered in with corrugated iron
specially ordered from Pittsburg, so tina
no fears need be entertained that any mor'
