MINER. 4 Deadwood Mine, The above mine is located at Willow Valley, about 224 miles from town. The ledge has been worked on the croppings and $100,000 taken therefrom, When the Snow Mountain ditch broke, several years. ago, it flooded the mine, and as the company had no machinery to ‘pump it out, they were compelled to abandon it. ‘The proprietors, getting into some dispute about a resumption of work, have never done anything further on it, An incline is now being aunk, which is already down 100 feet. The work is being done between two rich chimneys, which can be tapped by drifting both ways from theincline. The yvompany will be incorporated on the 20th of this month for the;purpose of working the mine. The stock will-be divided of $10 each. 25,000 of the shares will fand 10,000 Shares will be reserved by the company. Those who knew the miné when formerly worked, regard it as one of the best prospects in the district. Already about 11,000 shares have been taken, and a few still remain for sale. Those who desire to assist a promising enterprise, and atthe same time obtain an interest in a paying property, can do so by subscribing for the remaining stock, The ledge ayereges from 12 to 22 inches'in width. The rock is heavily charged with sulpharets, and free gold ia visible in much of it. It is expected a paying mine. will soon be developed at the Deadwood.

There hay been a constant and marked improvement in the mine during the past year, and due to the following causes: At the beginning of the season the mine was opened from the surface, down to a point “about 40 feet above the bed rock; at shaft No. 8. On May 3d, 1876, the bed rock was exposed directly at the shaft, and after that date the work of breast-7 ing across the gtavel channel (which is supposed to be about 400 feet wide at this place) steadily progressed, until at the close of the season 230 feet of bed rock was exposed. Shaft No. 8 was sunk upon the southeast edge of the rim rock. The lowest gravel near the shaft was of inferior quality; but has gradually improved as breasting across the channel progressed,until at the face of the breast gravel of exceilent quality has been found. * Since October 31st, 1876, a number of drifts for powder blasts have been run into the bank, near the level of the bed rock, and the gravel taken from them has prospected exceedingly ‘well. From the drifts pointing directly acrossjthe channel, been washed, yielding from 3 to 10 cents per pan. This is richer gravel than was found in the drifts from old No 1 prospect shaft; another-encouraging feature is the uniformity with which the gold is distributed. The mine is now opened ‘to the pay lead. richer than we expected ’to find, and there is every prospect that the yield per inch—of water used for the season of 1876-7, will show a most marked improvement over that ‘of last year. The English Opera. appeared, says of their last appearance there: “The largest audience of the operatic season was present last evening at the Marysville Theatre, when Offenbach’s comic opera of ‘“‘The Grand Duchess” was most admirably rendered. Miss Jennie Winston took the character of the “Duchess,” as Miss Clara Thompson was still tnable to ‘@ppear as announced, The versatility of Miss Winston, as vocalist and actress, has been more than fully demonstrated by her appearance as a substitute for Miss Thompson, and the lady has achieved an envious success, In jnstice to an excellent musician and author, we state that Mr. Louis Boedecker accompanies the English troupe, and his-exquisite touch has not passed unobserved by judges of piano masic, The gentlemen is a full chorus of himself. [Last evening’s entertainment closes the engagement of this meritorious troupe, and though their stay has been brief they leave eurcity with the strongest wishes for future success by all who have been delighted with their most charming vocalization.

There hay been a constant and marked improvement in the mine during the past year, and due to the following causes: At the beginning of the season the mine was opened from the surface, down to a point “about 40 feet above the bed rock; at shaft No. 8. On May 3d, 1876, the bed rock was exposed directly at the shaft, and after that date the work of breast-7 ing across the gtavel channel (which is supposed to be about 400 feet wide at this place) steadily progressed, until at the close of the season 230 feet of bed rock was exposed. Shaft No. 8 was sunk upon the southeast edge of the rim rock. The lowest gravel near the shaft was of inferior quality; but has gradually improved as breasting across the channel progressed,until at the face of the breast gravel of exceilent quality has been found. * Since October 31st, 1876, a number of drifts for powder blasts have been run into the bank, near the level of the bed rock, and the gravel taken from them has prospected exceedingly ‘well. From the drifts pointing directly acrossjthe channel, been washed, yielding from 3 to 10 cents per pan. This is richer gravel than was found in the drifts from old No 1 prospect shaft; another-encouraging feature is the uniformity with which the gold is distributed. The mine is now opened ‘to the pay lead. richer than we expected ’to find, and there is every prospect that the yield per inch—of water used for the season of 1876-7, will show a most marked improvement over that ‘of last year. The English Opera. appeared, says of their last appearance there: “The largest audience of the operatic season was present last evening at the Marysville Theatre, when Offenbach’s comic opera of ‘“‘The Grand Duchess” was most admirably rendered. Miss Jennie Winston took the character of the “Duchess,” as Miss Clara Thompson was still tnable to ‘@ppear as announced, The versatility of Miss Winston, as vocalist and actress, has been more than fully demonstrated by her appearance as a substitute for Miss Thompson, and the lady has achieved an envious success, In jnstice to an excellent musician and author, we state that Mr. Louis Boedecker accompanies the English troupe, and his-exquisite touch has not passed unobserved by judges of piano masic, The gentlemen is a full chorus of himself. [Last evening’s entertainment closes the engagement of this meritorious troupe, and though their stay has been brief they leave eurcity with the strongest wishes for future success by all who have been delighted with their most charming vocalization. Communicated, See Nevapa Crry, Feb, 5th, 1877.Ep, Transcairt: Allow me space enough in your columns to say that the lecture delivered at the Court House on Sunday evening, by Mrs. Logan, was well attended, It was a logical and fearless defence of modern and ancient spiritualism, which she aflirms is destined in coming time to humanitize the world. At the request of many friends she has partly consen to return and hold more meetings, after giving ber lectere in Gruss Valley next Sunday.
