One of the big boilers for the Anal gamated Gold Mines Co.,, which has been loaded upon the wagon for some time, was sent out to the mines at Cholla Thursday. These boilers are tickli-h pieces of freight to handle on an ordinary wagon, especially if the roads are rough. The base for the rockbreaker, which was taken out re gently, also caused considerable trou
 ble for the teamsterS, owiug to it's great weight. Several times during the trip ont the wagon pulled in two, let ting the load to the ground, aud thus causing a delay while it was being raised with jackScrews aud the wagon readjusted. In places the team could only pull the load few feet at time without resting. The trip, however, was made without other mishap. Sev. eral loads of lam Der and supplies have been disp tened this week. The com pany this week received portable en zine, which wlll be used in furnishing power for the we'll boring on fit. The work on the various buildings and the big mill is moving along rapidly aud smoothly -Martinaz News Herald.

A Goldtield, New, dispatch says: The reason for the high board fence on the Simmerone is that the ore recently de- veloped is so rich hat common bu>i ness sense dictates that it be closely guarded and that the work shall go on free from Interruption of curiosity seekers.

Tuttletown, Tuolumne county, has a "buried treasure" story that has been revived of late and the finding of which would make someone comfortable for life. In the early fifties, when the rush of gold seekers f1ocked to Nor mon Creek, among them was one who afterwards became known as "Old Man Campbell" He blilt cabin at the point where Long Gulch meets the creek, which at that time was very rich and is said 10 have yielded 2,500,000S The old man who remained on the creek over forty years was industrious, always being at work and very thrifty, never spending anything more than for clothes and the necessaries of life, says the Mother Lode Magnet. From his cabin he had view up and down the creek quarter of mile on each side, and when at work he never got beyond the limit, always keeping the building in sight. If anyone approach ed it, he would stop work, return home and keep watch until the party left. About ten years ago he was found dead in his bin. After his de tn it was reported that he had 7J,000S worth of gold buried near his place. He is said to have shown one nugget that weighed 32 ounces. His cabin was torn down and the ground around it slniced and 3,0J0S worth of gold found. Of late, several parties, some of them with di. vining rods, have been working around the site of the old cabin trying to run on to the balance of the buried treas. ure.
