The Mining and Sricutific Lress, B45 Tar Noatm Star Mrxe, Gnasas Vattey.— Segotiations for the sale of this voluahle gino have for some timo heen pending heween the owners of the mine and a party of jan Francisco capitalists, represented by SVm. jd. V. Crovise, Esq. The snm of $400,000 g snid to ho the nniount whicli is to he paid. }{t wos oxpected thot the negotiation woold nave heen concluded last week ; hnt somo misJinderstooding hoving orisen hetween the parnies, With reference to the contract, it wos Helayed fora few days for adjostment. The smatters of difference having heen referred to a -hird party, havo heen adjusted ina monoer tisfactory to all concerned, ond the negotiativo will probnhly he completed the coming eek. The North Star is ono ol tho oldest jis well ns ove of the mest valuahle mines in he State, and in the hands of tho new comany cannot fail to prove a most valoable mine, even ot the high figure nomed. Personat.—Wo had the pleasure, a few days ince, of receiving a cell from Mr. Chas. W. Harker, of Austin, Reeso River, who left on he steaurer of the 28th, for New York. Mr. I. goes Mast for the purpose of endeavoring © enlist capitalists in some mines iu which fhe is interested. Mr. H.hnos somo very fine ipocimens of ore with him, some of which, from the Dacotah mine on Lander Hill, neor .AnsLin, showed cousiderahle native silver, a thing very onusnal in Reese River ores. Ile speaks very highly of the future of Recse River; although he fully egrees with some of our correspondents who hold that too much money has heen spent there in huildiog mills, and too little in developing the mines. A mill upon an undeveloped mine is of hot little voloe. tome A New Rock Daritiino Macaine.—A new power drill has lately been put in operation ina Western Railroad, through the Hoosac Mountain. Ata late exhibition of the capacity of thie machine, made before some of the members of ths Legislature of that state, it appears that with o horizontal machine, ot 30 pounds pressure, a hole 19 inches in diameter was drilled 154 inches in 74 minutes; on the verticnl machine, 154 inches in 74 minates; on the horizontal again, 294 inches in 12 minutes. The rock used was franite taken from Rollstoae Hill in Fitchburg; the drill striking 200 times in a minute, and ndvnneing one inch every cighteen strokes. The hottom of the drill is nearly in form ofnoletter X. It is said that Rollstone granite is harder thon the stone of Hoosnc Mountain. 4 Heavy Biastixo Operations.—The heaviest blast ever discharged on the Pucific Const, wae let off in the hydranlic claim of the American Co. on Manzanita Hill, Nevada, a few days since. The Nevada Gazelle, in epeaking of it, exys that a tunnel was run into the hill nivety feet, and across-cut of* sixty feet was run at the end. ‘This cut was closely packed with 510 kegs of powder, each keg having its hend taken out. The tunnel was then cloeely tamped. ‘The entire hill, 150 feet in depth, 200 in width and almost 300 feet back from the front, was lifted several feet. in the air and completely broken up, ready for bydroulicing. The cost of running the tunnel, powder, ete. was about $3,000. . Minino Macninery.-—-The United States Mining Journal has an article on miaing machinery, in which it says:Io regard to mining machinery there are a few things that ought, hy this time, to he among the settled convictions in the head of every mining engineer, among which we might mention: First, that a machine which has not had ut home the hardest kind of a test of its powere of endurance is not a safe investment to send ahroad to miaes. Second, a machine that requires to be driven nt a very high rate of speed, especially for either crushing or pulverizing ore, is and must be an unenduring nnd unprolitable mochiae. It cannot be durable at hard work, and if taken out to mines, will only goto swell the heap of rubhish accumulated there to the dismay and disgust of mining . companies. Third,a machine that professes to comhine in one series all the processes from the ctnshing the rock to the washing of the slimes will invariably prove npsatisfactory.

Tne Atta on FKartnquaxts.—Tho richest thing of the day, in tho scientific line, is the Alta’s editoriul of May 3lst. It wus suggested hy tho elight earthquake shock of the doy beforc—or ot lenst brought to a head ond mado to erupt, hy that oceurrence—nithough its author tokes pains to inform us thot his “viows" oro prescoted only after “tho most maturo reflection.” The object of the orticlo is to ndvanco the new and astounding proposition thot we have never had any earthquakes here at all; hut that the tromhlings “ on this Const "—to quoto his owa words—‘aro nothing bot thunder storms raging on the surfoce of tho carth.” Ho says thut if the shake of last Octoher had heen an carthquake, we ought to find n great crack nt the jumping-off pluces—say Humbeldt on the north, and Sunto Clarp on the south ; and thut, moreover, tho cohhle-stones ond sticks and straws in the street, woultl have heen fonnd, after the shock, orranged ju cir. cles . Shall wo comment upon tliis? IIus the mantle of somo recently deceased savant fullen upon this sage, impelling him, perforce, to “ prophesy ;” or was somo odder spirit at work when this article was written? Our renders will recollect the shock oceurred hetween three aod four o'clock in the morning. Brains, (as well ns chimneys) are sometimes ‘twisted rouns ” nt that hour!

Gotn Yrero in AvstRaLia.—N ot withstanding on extraordinary drought, ond consequent seurcity of water for mining purposes, the productiveness of the Australian gold fields does bot appear to have heen checked. The reports from many of the compaaies show but little falling off. The Custom House returns of the exporte of gold since the beginning of this year, give 1,648,693 ounces. ‘ho quantity exported last year was 1,725,000 ounces. Hevstox, Hastings & Co.—This firm hnve doubtless greater facilities than ony other clothing house on the Pacific const, and seem determined to place themsclves still further in the advance, and surpass all provious efforts to please the fashionable public.
