He organized a company and took all” the tothe-dump pile from both inclhues. The Che Duily Transcript. COUNTY ani CITY OPPICTAL PRESS. SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1866. Tre Opair Mine.—A few days since we visited the celebrated Ophir mine, located near Grass Valley, and under the managetneot of Capt. Lee. The Ophir is one of the. largest and most promising mines in the State, and Capt. Lee has recently built a magnificent thirty stamp mill, and called it the Empire mill. For beauty, power and convenience, this structure surpasses any mill on the Pacific coast. The Ophir mine has been worked for a number of years.— During the Washoe excitement a number of the old owners went off. The miue was not properly worked, and assessments were levied which remained unpaid. The mine was ubder a cloud, the company heavily involved, and the stock was offered at-a very low. figure. At this junction, Capt. Lee ming was une of the best inthe gounty.— stock at holders’ prices, which were very moderate. The Captain went into the incline and after a few weeks sinking struck very rich rock, and. a lirge and well defined ledge, Since-the change of'proprietors the Vicinity of, the mine has entirely changed.— The few di'apidated. structures. huye been removed and hew buildings have been erected. Theold millof six stamps has been kept in constant operation, paying well. all the time, and reck enough is now on the surface. to keep forty stamps running for a long time, if none were taken from the mine. The mine is being worked in, tlie old ineline. A new incline hus been sunk and hoisting works erected, and the mine’is to be opened bya third incline. In this way if any accident should occur and compel the work to} suspend in ong, the other two openings on the ledge would-supply abundance of rock. The Empire mill is the most magnificent. structure of the kind we have ever seen.— The building is so urranged that the stamps can be raised in a few moments. . The mill is a'double one having thirty stamps, and the machinery fur the batteries is separate and distinct, so that one-half may be kept running if necessary. Communication is had between the engine-rovin and battéries ky signal bells. The engine is of one hundred and Tifty horse power. The foundation contains more than six thousand brick cemented, and more than aton of iron is used in bracing the work, _ The balance wheel weighs 17,500. pounds. The cars run rock is thrown into Blake’s rock-breaker which eracks 100 tons per day fine enough fur the batteries, doing the work of a dozen men. The rock after. passing under stamps passes into Belt’s.grinders, where it is reduced to the greatest fineness. From these the pulp passes into the Baux pan, sixteen of which are in use. Five Knox pans and twelve shaking-tables are also used. All this machinery is kept in operation by one engine. Every part of the mill is finished like a parlor, and one can pass to any part of the extensive establishment in a minute. The protection aguinst fire is ample. The structure is suplied with pipes which extend to every part of the building, and in an instant the force pumps can be connected with the engine, und every part of the building Aieded with water. ‘This excelJent mill waégtarted for the first time about ten days since, wad on last Saturday was shut dawn for the purpose of making some improvements in the working of its mon: ster machinery. The will will start again next week. We advise all who desire toe. see mining in its most attractive. form, or who wish to look at magn fice: t wachinery in operation, to visit Capt. Lee’s mill aud nine, The sight 1s worth a seven days’ journey. : / —_——~. New BuipGe.— The City Trustees have let a contract for the construction of anew bridge, on the site of the old one, at the foot of Main street, to Geo. S. Peirce. The piers of the bridge are to run on-the same foundations as those of the old one, to be of the samé span, and to havea sidewalk six feet in the clear on each side of and outside of the road way. The road way is te be on the same level with the-one spaniing the creek at the foot of Broad street, and is to be constructed in all respects in the same manner. ? The werk Will be completed iu a few ‘weeks. & MAPLE SuGar,—We,ure indebted to Gregory & Waite for a bounteous supply of. Vermont Maple Sugar. They have a large lot.of this delicious article on hand, und are ready to supply all who like the Tue. Instrrurge—EyenisG_ Sesstoy.— tute was, held at the Methodist Chureh, on Thureday evening. An essay was read by J. 3. McChesney upon the study of classics: He took the ground that classics should be abandoned for more practical branches — The essay was listened to with considerable interest. H.n. John Swett, State Su perintendent, was then introduced and read an exceltent essay upon the study of elocution in the public schools. We hepe that the teachers of the county will be benefited by the suggestions made 1n regard tu this much neglected branch of education. -TheSuperintendent followed this essay by an address to parents and citizens in_reldtion to the Public Schools We wish all conid have heard this address. He showed that these schouls should be fostered by parents for the sake of their children, and by every man as a friend of Republican government. He urged parents to visit the sckhoruls, encourage the children and act in harmony with-the teachers in the education of children. Thursday evening closed the lectures before the Institute., These meetings have been largely attended, not only by. teachers, but by residents of the city, and we are confident that they. have aroused great interest among our people in regardto the welfare of the Public Schools. Teacuers’ InstitUrE—Last Day.— The*“Teachers’ Institute met _ yesterday morning at 10 v’clock. Supermtendent Swett gave some important hints in’ regard to school management. The teachers dis cussed the best method of teaching United States history, after which a lively discus. sion tuok place upon the importance of the classics in the higher grade of schools. The session uf the Institute has been exceedingly interesting, and the teachers have been greatly benefited by the suggestions and discussions. They will go back to their work better qualified than when they came away, and every Distrigt will deriye more benefit from the Institute than from a mouth’s teaching. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the . Institute : WE, the teachers of Nevada county, realizing the importance of the prosperity of the Publie Schools, aud believing that the efficiency of teachers is greatly -promoted by a frequent interchange of thought and experience, and desiring to express our gratitude for the services of thuse whose effurts tor our improvement has been so freely and satisfactorily given, do therefore Resolve, That we will, with renewed energy, resume our duties. That we earnestly request the County Superintendent. of Public Instruction, to call at least two Institutes yearly, and that we believe the Board of Supervisors ought, in duty, make appropriatious for such expenses as may be. necessarily incurred during such meeting. Resolved, That in the Hon. John Swett, We recognize an earnest, able and effleient officer, and that our thanks are due him for his distinguished s-rvices during the entire Institute.’ Resolved,-That our thanks are hereby tendered to Rev. D. A. Dryden, Professors Sibley, Corlton and Campbell,’and to superintendent Deal, for their earnest efforts in behalf of the Institute. Resolved, That we also tender our sincere thanks to the citizens of Nevada, who: have manifested their interest in our delibs erations by attending the Institute. Resolved, That we recognize the public spirit, liberality and enterprise,in the cause of education, of the California Steam Navigation Company, as shown by. the free passes over their line, given to Professors Carlton and Campbell to attend the Teacbers’ Institute in Nevada county. Resolced, That the Secretary be requested. to have these resolutions published iu the city papers. F. Power, B. F. Wetcn, Bb. J. Watson, ST Gi ; ELecTION OF TRUsTERS.—The annual election of School Trustees throughout the county will le held today. In Nevada District two Trustees are tu be chosen. The qualification. for electors is the same as ut general elections, and fraudulent voting may be punished in. the same manner as stich of: fencers at State elections. We hope that the voters prea out in foree, and select the best m-n to_be found for these offices.— The success and welfare of schools depends almost entinply upon the efficiency of ‘Trustees, and the matter is certainly one which demands the interest of every citizen of the State.

ORDNANCE FoR Nevada City —The Marysville Appeal says: Prescott tad Scheidel, of the Marysville Foundry, are filling un ordnance order from Nevada City—mair-, utacturing an iren cannon, which, when it reaches its destination, will speak for itself, This cannon, in the. rough, weighed 2,100 pounds, but when trimmed up and finished will be reduced to about 1,700 pounds.— We should judge it te be a 12 pounder, and have no doubt but that its echoes will be heard fur many miles about Nevada. It will be finished in time to be christened on the 4th of July. : THE CaNNon.—The Fourth of July cannon is already cast, and is being bored. It will be ready for shipment by Saturday, and will arrive in this city on Sunday or Monday. The gun is a twelve pounder and The evening session of the Teacher’s Instietapa a te I gs : THe Dixnen.—The Fourth of July dinner Will be set in the yard of the Court House. The conimittee are making such and are preparing enough to féed” five thousand people. We are glad that these things are being arranged in this manner. Usually on such Occasions dinners are so-managed that there is great waste and no one is satisfied. On the Fourth there will be waiters enough to supply the eaters,and every thing willbe conducted with as much system asa dinner at a well regulated. hotel.
