The Grizzly ledgo is situated in Devil’s Canon, four miles west of Eureka, and was purchased by the Eagle Company, of Hartford, about tho beginning of 1866. The company erected a five-stamp mill at the ledgo, in the fall of the samo year, but being unprepared for winter work, the mill was-run but little until May last, since which timo it has been running steadily, and with favorable results. Tho ledge has been opened by two tunnels, the upper tunnel having been run 160 feet on the vein, and tho other 250 feet. Tho vein has an averago width of four feet, and {g 60 situated, that with proper arrangements, and 2 larger mill, fivo and six dollar rock can be worked with profit. Tho present mill is run by a hurdy-gurdy wheel, and was intended for the purpose of prospecting and thoroughly testing the ledge, . Another battery of five stamps will bo added to the mill this summer, and should the prospects of the mine warrant it, the company will erect a larger mill.
