We interviewed a gentleman yes} visited: North Bloomfield, Moore’s Flat, and other pluces on the Ridge. From his observations we are enabled to give many items of interest. The miuing prospict neverlooked bright~ er thun it doés now at North Bloomfield and, its. -immediate vicinity. ‘ New and very extensive mining en-}terprises are going on, aud a large number of men are employed. Ifthe Derbeo and “Watt Companies strike the gravel that they are going for, ‘and there is scarcely a-doubt about the matter, hundreds of men-will be added to the number already emiployed. These two companies are . driving abeud with all possible disputch, The North Bloomfield Company has sufficient water to work for three weeks longer, and then they will proceed to get everything in or’ der for moré extensive work by the time the rainy season sets in, At Moore's Flat there are only two sets *ot diggings rnunibg, on account of scarcity of water, At North Bloomfield James Heade-. ly bas gune into the brick business onan. extensive scale.

Splendid Entertainment, A week or #0 ago we announced that W. H, Barnes and J. J. Aléxander would give one of théir entertuinments in this city, but their engugewents were such that they could poteome, Wé understand they will come sometime next month. ‘They gave two entertainments at ‘Truckee aud the Reptilican says: Messrs. W. H. Burnes and J. J. Alexander made their appearance in Truckee on Monday evening, but as their coming had not been well heralded, a poor house was in attendance. Those who \ere present were so well pleased that they induced the gentlemen to stey over another night, aud proniisod a better bouse, Mr, D,. Hart, C. F. Byrne and others took pains to nell tickets for the gentlemen, and advertise the merits of the entertainment, and the result was @ crowded house op Tuesday evening. ‘The . Jol y Old Pedagogue,"’ Out Late at Night” and other selectiens given by Prof. Barnes excited universal com. mendation, aod shows the gentlemen pousessed of versatile power, facial expression, and vocal flexability, . whieh is seldom equaled, and never: excelied. Prof; Alexander is a musician of superior talent, and evinces wonderful profigieucy on both the violin and piano. All went home _ ‘well pleased with the evening's per: formance, and should the gentlemen ever favor us again, they can f eaatyon. a.crowded house. tien Strawberries. Felix Gillet yesterday presented us with a bex of strawberries, which Barpass anything of the kind we have ever’ seet, “They were of English and Frenoh varieties, and picked from the plantsin bis garden yesterduy morning. The strawberry plants were introduced: by bim in Cualifornia, about two years ago, and he has 614 ap immense lot of them in this, Btute. ‘He informs us that he will Mr, Nelson is of the opinion . } ‘they get a job, and with the. aid: of ' Looeal News, Prof. Crosby has discovered @ ledge near the new site of the Pioneer Réductiad works onthe Grass Valley road and has pat men-apon it to ‘test its value,.rom thie indieations at present itis thoughtit will make a mine of valtie. Work is progressing in the Watt Blue Gravel mine shaft near Moore’s and is expected to reach bed rock inside of twomouths. Allin thut section of country ure prayiag for~ the guccéds of the enterprise as it will assure the early working of other claims on the channel,. ~Qut at Lost Hill miners are troubled with petty thieves who. go to their mines, when they-aré absent and steal all the tools that cau be found in sight, The samie thing has been done for years, It used to. be thought that Chinamen were the thieves, but now it is uncertain. What is known as tlie Tully ledge, aituated at Selby Flat, has been = relocated by some miners and work is being done to open it up. ‘It used to be considered a valuable ledge. The ledge which rans pareliel with the Nevada and Providence mines, on the west side, is . again being worked and a quantity of ore’ is. being taken out through a‘ tuinel.— Weekly Gazette, Neurly every paper in the State is recommending Rufe~ Shoemaker, of the Uuiou, for the position yof Secretury of the Senate. We believe be will get it, for the reason that no other person hes had the temerity to come out in opposition to him up to thin time, “ ‘ Trade dollars. are flooding the Virginia City mafket to such an éxtent that ‘the merchants are -beginning to refuse to take them, except at 10 per cent. discount, Very few are in circulation here. A short time ago Geo, G. Allan, of the Nevada Foundry purchased the machinery of the Union Mine Co., at Grass Valley. He has sold it to the Pliveene Co., of Forest City, and it-is being hauled to that place by Si Whiting’s teams. .Mr. Allan has also sold to the same company a 90-horse power steam engine. ‘The Nevada Foundry is now turniog out a. large amount of machinery for several mining-companies in this aad Slerra counties, A brewery is about to be started at North Bloomfield. The. boys of Grass Valiey “are doing alurge business in theway of sawing wood in that,-town. Chinese have lost «ll that kind of business, not onty in that town but in this. one too. In Grass Valley two boys have a Httle steam engine, andit can be easily taken wherever that. they make quick: work of wood piles. They charge 25 cents per cord more for the work than was /ormerly paid to Chinamen, Art Barton, the celebrated horse shoer, is in San Francisco on business connected with his patent shoe, We.understand that when he gets his arrangements com pleted he will return to Nevada City and go into business with Dan Clancy in horse shoeing and general blacksmithing. Superintendent Berry is driving ahead with his incline in the Nevada quartz mine, and expects: in about six weeks to be down far enough to open a new Jevel, Water is so scarce that but five stampsin the mill can be run, and then only ‘part of the time. Before another dry season comes a connection will’ be made with the engines.in the hoisting works so that no delays will occur. The ledge located out beyond Piety Hill, near the old Turner place, is again being’ worked. It is owned by J, H. Richards, W. HMartin and the Cleave brothers’ They own 1,500 feet. on the ledge, and have worked on the line of ita dis ance of about two hundred feet, to water levei, which is reached at 85 feet. ‘Twenty-seven tons of the reck, recently worked, yielded in the neighborhood of $18 per ton, “fur Live OAK MINE.—.What was formerly known as the Buckbam ledge, located about two miles from Bear tiver in the lower part of this county, has recently changed hands, and work has been commenced to open it.

The mill has ten stamps of 700 pounds each, and the the engine has power to work ten more when needed. ‘Nhere isa National drill being used to sink the incline. The incline is new down 790 feet,.or 90-feet. below the 700foot, or lowest level. On the ‘south bide of the shaft from the 700=foot upward, the rock has been worked. out, and according to the books of the former owners paid on an average $30 per ton. There are three paying chutes in the mine, the one on’ the ‘south side being the one which was worked out down to'the 700-foot level. The middle ‘chute is now on the North side of the ‘shaft andisin ‘the neigbborhood of 220 feet in width. Tbe North chute is over 50 feet in width: The mid‘dle chute has been worked partially: down. as. far as the 600-foot level We saw some of the rock hoisted from this chute from’a winze being sunk from the 700-foot ‘level, while have seen in the. district for years. It was heavy sulphoretted and free gold just glistened through most, of it, The ledge at the point from which it came is*two feet in thickness and js ‘composed of compact ledge matter.

George Smith’s mine, near the Half Mile House, continnes to look splendidly. Svoping and drifting is going on on each side of the shaft. In the East.drift, two hundred and fifty feet from the shaft, the best chute of ore yet found in the mine has been struck. The Jedge there is of good size and is liberally sprinkled with gold. "A big pile of org is out on the dump, and will be worked by the Crosby process as soon as the works are in running order, Thereis considerable prospecting going ‘on again in this district, There are any number of wndeveloped ledges in the’ vicinity that will pay small wages for work upo them while being prospected and some are wise enough to get out and go to work upon them, The owners of the Blue Point Union Consolidated Mining Company, of Smartsville, have been engaged the past month in repairing the ditch which conveys water from Wolf Creek, at @ point near Forest Springs, to their mine, Tbheyfound all the flumes in an advanced state of decay and are putting new ones wherever , needed.
