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

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. &

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.

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. Cid

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.
HAVE you seen those new toys, pictures,
picture fraines, mouldings, carriages, biaskets and ten thovsand other articles that
George R. Crawford, corner of Broad and
Pine streets, received a day or two ago?
If not, drop your Work and go and look at

cheap, and besides he keeps everything in
the stationery line, equal to any store in
San Francisco, su fur as. variety is concerned.
