Tiere are now about 195 meu inthe employ of the cunpany, early halfof whom are employed iO assorting the ores fur shipment, as the low grade ures, being mixed with a large quantity Ol slate, require tu be broken up and suh:eteil by find. Whe muehinery fur fivisting mul pumping is. nsinay be expected in such a min, Othe very best. In the main shalt a enfetytare isused, which is the invention ef Mr. Win. N. Shaw, one of the employees of the company, which is one nf the midst perfect Working aachines uf the kind in use. , THE KRYSTANE I3 no extension of the Cmun, ovrtlward. The Claim consists of 3,300 leet. ‘Che principal Shaft, (called the Houlton shaft) lulluws the . inehoution of the vein, and is 360 feet in depth. Levels have been opened ot depths of 9h, 134,195 and 279 feet respectively, develGping two veios about tweuty live fort upart, Tn the west vein but little cupper is found, but vin the enst vein a chimney is fooul, varying fram one to six fevt in width, and about sevellty-tive feetin length, dipping to the north. The ore ugsuys from fourteen to twenty per cent. Near the buttmu ot the shalt tho dip of the vein is nuch greater than it is above, and atthe buttom tho shaft runs some distance into the serpentine, which forms the foot-wall of the vein. Another shalt, 430 feet northwest of the Houlton shalt, and known as the Dis covery, is 175 feet deep. Here the conditions are reversed, the west vein being productive, und the easteru ono barren. ‘The chuto in this shaft uppeurs to be from 80 to 100 leet long, and tu average about two fect in width, Abont 100 feet north ol the Di-covery shaft, and direetly noder the old * dressing works,” a five euterop of gray ore has been struck on tho eust vein. on which Mr. Sheldon hos commeuced sinking a shaft. ‘The lode throughoat is very irregular iu its developments, and the ore is mixed with slate to a very great extent, much of it requiring a large amount of assorting to lititlor market, An attempt was made n short time since to reduce these ores by crishing, and separating by water, after the Welsh inethod, but the machinery being somewhat imperfect, the work has been susprentled for the present, though 1 was informed by the Superintendent that the last ron of the inachinety was attended with considerablo profit tothe company. ‘The ore and water are hoisted from the Hynlton shalt in tubs by a 28-horse power enzine, while the pamp in the Discovery shaft, und the machinery of the reductiou works ure driven bs 2 fine ensine of G0-horse power. Mr. Sheblon seemed to take great pleasure in showing me the works, and treated me with the greatest kindness and courtesy. On the suilheast extension o! the Union lead, the Kmpire compauy are prospecting qnite vigor. ously, but have not yet struck the vein, The Harlem company, two miles west of town, have sank on their lode to a depth of over 15) lert, and have found some very good ore, thongh not yet in paying quantities. The rock in their clita very hard, making prospecting expensive business, but they arc notth: men to be discouraged. I sincerely hape they may be successful, for if perseverance was ever worthy of success, it certainly is in their case. Copperopolis, Murch 21, 1866. is tl Machinists and Foundries.
