city about o month ago, via Havre, from
the United States, was condemned, after

steadily increasing. The Consul knows
of eleven wholesale houses engaged In

much unfriendly competition at best,
and any condemnation OF American
meats receives the fullest and widest
publicity. to the great injury Of the
trade. Exporters In the United States
cannot. therefore, be too careful o. to
the quality OF their shipments.

About Milling.

The California mill is now running to
its full capacity. every pan and settler
being In operation. This has not been
the case before for some months.
The tiume which carries pulp from
the battery to the pan mill is cut out by
the sharp grit OF the quartz every year.
and each Summer has to be renewed. A
new lining has just been put In n OF
the four old fumes leading to the pan
mill.
The distance Of this pan mill from
the Union shaft is not great, and the de-
scent is sufficient to enable pulp to be
run down from that point. There 10

ginia battery at the Union shaft and
connecting 1t with this pan mill by
fumes. so as to work Sierra Nevada and
Union ore without transportation.
