The “Marchie is on its -way to glory” was the remarx made by a , gentlemen to a TRANSCRIPT reporter. ~ “If you don’t believe it, come and see fer yourself.”” So putting on his 5-league boots, he was.soon at the office of the Superintendent, W. 8. Schhyler, Eaq., who though up to oe ‘him through the various « works. "Ya transition state, ae -arre@agements ': have not‘only been made, but work + s@ctually begua for moving the hoist"ang works, mf and machinery to the new shaft now being sunk. Itis a three compartment perpendicular shaft, 16x5§ feet, divided as follows: * Pump ani ladder compartment.6 feet 3 inches by 64° feet, arid the “two + boistingoues 4 by 64! feet each. ~~ hOxt2-timbers are used in —its—con™ ‘+ ypbractiod ant 8x12 timbers for thé) * ‘partitions, with 14 inch lining, and atis claimed to be the best -and —_++atrongest constructed shaft--inthe+ county. * The location is: about 500 feet west of the old incline, and the. -wehaftis down to the 290° foot ‘level, :-on the “big blae.” Adrain tunnel is also being rug. to ‘tap the new « whaft at the 200-foot level, a distance :, of 450 feet. When about 330 feet vof the tunnel had been run, a fine ' -foot ledge of-ore ‘was struck, which *has continued acdistance of 30 feet, * and will gontinue todoso antil the _ . ghaft is intersected, which will be “cabout footy, feet further. The ledge *~was ulso'strack in the shaft, a short ' distence.above.the-200:--foot. level. ‘“@his.is a most important discovery, ‘us .the ore is rich in sulphurets and i galéna, andiis sprinkled with free . » gold. *.An, upraise is being made from the #60 foot level to ‘ connect, ’ with the 200, which has neay ‘attain‘.ed the height of 126 feet. The new ‘ahaft willbe carried ‘down ' to the ‘5890foot level, which is as deep as the mine has hus far. been worked, and ‘ which wil” give a perpendicular ‘depth of 875 feet. The famous “biy blae” ledge is encased in'both granvite and slate formations—the eastern . portion being grap:te and the west‘-ern slate. .:The foundation for the ‘mew hoisting works is being laid, * and ina month or six weeks the building wil be completed, and the ‘anachinery removed to the new shaft. ' A fine 30-stamp mill is to be erect‘ed close to the -koisting works,sotl.at . the“ore cae be conveyed to thé mill ' through a chute from the shaft, “thus saving she cost .and'time of runming i on.cars over the tramway a ‘ distance of 550 feet. Ten stamps ‘ate now being run, ‘arid the mill is furnished with eight of Frue’s con‘ centrators, which ate found to be! ‘the greatest invention of the age for ‘oncentrating the sulphurets and “gaving the gold. The Marchie mine was the first to introduce them into ‘this couuty. The sulphurets aver‘age. 34 -per cent, or about 1} tena to ‘20 tons of ore. . Mr. Juhn Eva, who has been foreaman of the Company for about &f“seen months past, has resigned his ‘position for a more lucrative one at LeadviWe, Co'orado, where he has been tendered the position of Super-intendent of a mine. «Mr.'Eva has ahade himself very popular-with the “Marchie Company, . for his good . judgment and clear-headedness us a practical miner, and has in conjuncdion with the able Superintendent, W. 8S, Sehuyler, materially assisted in bringig the mine to'a” successful ‘etatus. With the employes he was kind-hearted and gentlemanly, and enjojei .their respect ‘and confidence.» As a testimonial of their re‘gard for him, they presented him with 4 fine gold chain, the links beAng set with gold quarts.

Very Respectfu ly, . Henry FRENCH, Nevapa City, July 27th. Epirer Transcrret—I have examined the commanication/of Henry French of Bronco, which you handed me, in which he seeks information as to when-and where work is to be performed for restraining mining debris. In reply I have to say that notices are now in course of publication calling for proposals to construct dams on the Yubariver, near Marysville, and on Bear.river, in the vicinity of Wheatland, “bids to be opened and contracts let’ Augtist Oth: Contracts will also be let August 18th, for constructing, repdiring and strengthenrivers. Faborers desiring employment will in my judgment do well to await the 'etting of contracts before proceeding to the designated points a8 some delay may oecur while contragtors are preparing. for Operations: ‘The Directors of the Drainage District are not authorized to employ men and can only let contracts for.contemplated improvements after thirty day’s notice.— When, the contracts are let the newspapers will doubtless give such publicity to the matter as. to impart ample notice to all -persoms in quest of emplaymengg, . <4 ,_ Nives Searus, a ~ Change of C, P.

The report is current upon our streets that Adrian Smith has married Alie Dorsey, formerly of Nevada City, Eee : One of Truckee’s little boys went fishing to Donner Lake last Sunday without asking leave of his parénts. Next morning a neighbor’s boy "met him_and asked:,. ‘Did you catch anything yesterday?” “Not till I got home,” was the rather sad aod ‘melancholy response. Sunday afternoon a beautiful sand. spout shot up from the road leading to E. Ellen’s saw mill, a half a mile from town. Up, up, and still upward it sped, until it reached, apparently thousands of feet, when coming in contact-with a strong current of air, it was soon dissipated. At the time there was not a breath of air_stirring. : Last Sanday night at Bronco, Jake Gulling, brakeman on the C.
P. Railroad, ordered a tramp off irom the top of one of the coaches where-he was secluded, When the train was brought toa atandstill he ‘whipped out a knife and e-ruck a well-intended b ow for Jake’s breast, . but luckily for him. the knife was . dull, or else he would have received a terrible wound. Asit was, he got off with but his coat and vest cut The rascal made good his escape. Edith Brickell, daughter of Mr. upper Main street, came near being drowned in water tank No. 3 last Friday, It appears that the tank was uncovered and while), running past she made a misstep and plunged head-foremost into the .water, and had it not been for the assistance’ of accident by one of her children, she would certainly have perish d. ‘The water was quite deep and Mrs. Nash deserves commendable ‘praise in jumping into the tank and rescuing the little one ffom a watery grave. ae OOo St. ack Pay at Last. The Virginia Enterprise says: At the Washoe Lake they appear to have for so long been iu search—pay gravel. It will be remembered that in our last mention of the diggings we stated that a hughegranite bowlder had been encountered in the bottom of the shaft. Theyhave now passed through that bowkler and found immediately below it. another but softer one. -In this last bowlder was.a crack-three or four inches in width cofttaining gravel, gravel is found tobe rich in gold. The gold—a sample of which we have seen—is quite coarse and _ heavy. There are some pieces worth from 75 cents to $1. From the dirt taken out of the crevice in the bowlder « as obtained from $3 to $5 in gold dust. It is smooth, washed gold, such as is found.in the big gravel leads of California. ie * The sha't ig now 122 feet deep, and is supposed to be within a few feet of the bedrock. As there was no gold in the gravel ‘above, except. that a fine color-or two could once and a while be obtained, the pay will probably be found in a stratum of gravel from ‘three to five feet abdve the bedrock, constituting what are known as drift diggings. This het weather the air is very, bad at the bottom of the shaft, and one of the workmen came to the. city Jast Sanday for a bellows to be used in pumping air down to the men. They have a bedrock tunnel under the gravel channel which they can soon connect with the bottom of the shaft and thus not only secure good ventilation, but also fagilities for sending their pay dirt down by chute to the tunnei level.
