FROM mineral MN.

Hon J. S. Nayhush, who recently
visited the old camp at Mineral Hill,
brings some gratifying repoits regarding
The Immediate prospects with regard to
its mining Interest. in which n number
of Dur old friends are directly interested.
]. C. Crombie, otr own toSaatsan, was
the first of the old Austin Company
to return to the Hill after the purchase
of the mill and other property of the
English Company but their existence is
nou frightened by the presence Of John
McCabe and his family. another member
VI the company, ifom Snh Rafael, and
Ben Pltiiiner Of San francisco. also o.
the Austin Corhpsny: All hands have
laid holt with n will. and rs a result, a
large quantity OF good milling ore is
ready for reduction and will be worked
as soon as the mill is in readiness,
which will he very shortly. The Austin
Company having formerly no mill Of

factorily.
The late purchase md transfer Of
the English Company's property to the
Austin Company was a mutually adyan-
tsGeous transaction. for while the latter
secured a bargain the amount received
by the Iornef was Just that much
more in the Company exehedher than
they could ever have realized above
the cost OF maintaing the property.
United with this Austin Company's pro-
ductive mines. the mill aud other prop
efts secured arc of real value to the
present owners. Who be!ng practical
miners and workingmen, will feap
the fruits of success from en- EN-.
terprise OF That nature. when n foreign
corporation. with The heavy eIpohse
ecessarily attending the management
Of its business affairs, would be constant
losers.
