gold from forty tons of quartz per diem, at an expense not exceeding three hundred dollars.
Owing to the anxiety manifested to know the result of our experiment, the works have been put
in operation before completion. The satisfactory issue now authorizes the company to proceed
to finish the works with vigor and immediately after, commence active business
operations. W. K. RIGBY, Prest. Bunker Hill Q. Mg. Co.

A. A. SARGENT, of the Journal, left Nevada this morning on a tour of the Atlantic States. He goes
on business, with intention of returning again in four or five months. The readers of the Journal, however,
will not lose the benefit of his pen, as he will furnish them with an account of what he sees and hears
