M.

She céatractors were somewhat aAnPee avent to the residence of J. H. Caimpnoved by the smoke from their bl: et hanging too long, near the face or; back of the tunnel, and rigged qu ¢) an ingenious purchase to dislodye it. They patio six-inch pipe the whole length of the tunnel}, and at the er trauce put on an elbow and ran the pipe upin the air, by a pine tree, about fifty feet high. ‘They then built a stone furoace, with a pipe leading from the fire to the elbow and up the perpendicalar pipe ; a fire built inthe furnace completed this work and caused a. draft from the hack of the tangel, through the horizontal pipe, that would pulla hen off her nest. No more smoke or balair for the Planet boys. Mr. Byrne.thinks-they will tap the gravel in about seven hundred feet, and if he is correct it will be seen that the work is almost half completed. He will lave a sacvey mude uext week, which will determine the disexactly to be made. The Company's fiaaacial condition is such, we are glad to say, as to in-: sure the completion of this Grass Vulley ent rprise, and we coufidentiy believe that the Planet will prove to be one of the must valuable mines in the State. wee Wm.

George William Curtis was asked by a reporter at the Rochester Convention if there was any truth in General Geant’s story concerning Charles Supaner’s want of veracity.

M. Byrne Jt,, has just returned from the Planet Mine in Lowell Hill District, and reports everything there to be in the most encouraging condition. ‘The tunnel, which is the laryest in the county, is in three hundred and thirty-four feet and is a nice piece of workmanship, being as true and as straight asa rule. She céatractors were somewhat aAnPee avent to the residence of J. H. Caimpnoved by the smoke from their bl: et hanging too long, near the face or; back of the tunnel, and rigged qu ¢) an ingenious purchase to dislodye it. They patio six-inch pipe the whole length of the tunnel}, and at the er trauce put on an elbow and ran the pipe upin the air, by a pine tree, about fifty feet high. ‘They then built a stone furoace, with a pipe leading from the fire to the elbow and up the perpendicalar pipe ; a fire built inthe furnace completed this work and caused a. draft from the hack of the tangel, through the horizontal pipe, that would pulla hen off her nest. No more smoke or balair for the Planet boys. Mr. Byrne.thinks-they will tap the gravel in about seven hundred feet, and if he is correct it will be seen that the work is almost half completed. He will lave a sacvey mude uext week, which will determine the disexactly to be made. The Company's fiaaacial condition is such, we are glad to say, as to in-: sure the completion of this Grass Vulley ent rprise, and we coufidentiy believe that the Planet will prove to be one of the must valuable mines in the State. wee Wm.

Mr Dowey has a splendid piece of jrround, and im that it runs from Steep Hollow to Bear River he bas a dead sure thing on the pay channel. and-we expect good returns: from him, when he gets his tunnel in. Maguire's mine is very favorably situated, being between the Planet and Dewey's; the work each of those prospects his (Maguire’s ground) which is doubtless as good as either.

George William Curtis was asked by a reporter at the Rochester Convention if there was any truth in General Geant’s story concerning Charles Supaner’s want of veracity.
