A correspondent at Williams Fork sends us the following items of news:
 "The Matilda mining company started up their furnace, situated at Planet, Yu- ma county, on the 18th, and run out 60 bars of copper bullion, weighing lO,Sl4 pounds. Their freight teams will bring down some 20 tons more on Saturday,the 3l.t. By the time the steamer gets here they expect to ship about 50 tons. It goes to MessTs. Pope, Cole & Co.,, Bslt- more. They iatrnd to take advantage of the steamers and ship both ways. Too much credit cannot be given to the superintendent, A. TregeGgo, who had many difficulties to contend with before he got his furnace completed. They lost an engine and blower, which were carried into the Colorado river by one of the fresbets in the Williams Fork. Ttey have some 150o tons of coke coming around by the mouth of the river. From all appearances there will be a large camp here soop. I will write again from time to time."

prevents an exact examination OF the surface.
DR.. Blend mann softened the light by using tho
condensed smoke OF camphOr. He had
to make hundreds OF trials before finding
the exact measure OF soft6ning required
to obtain a perfect image OF tho moon,
He then took with q rejecting telescope q
very detailed and correct Photographic view OF
tho disk OF tho moon. which he forward ex-
posed under powerful solar microscope Tho

thirty-three feet In this way tho story H. ha was
