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. A cabinet

beg you to be kind enough to let us
know when and where they are going to start those State Works to
stop the mining debris. .

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

One of Truckee’s little boys went
fishing to Donner Lake last Sunday
without asking leave of his parénts.

to E. Ellen’s saw mill, a half a mile

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
