She hue more quartz that contains gold and silver than fifty stamps can crush in so many years, the average bung 25 dollars per ton and easy to crush. Geo. A. Jackson's 10-stamp mill at the head of main BiDgham is aboul completed, aud by the first of August it will be running. Messrs. Egan A B:ties have the ground graded for tbtiir 20 stamp mill a quarter of a mile below the mouth of Bear gulch. The limbers are being put on the gruund, and in thirty days Biughum will he shipping amalgam instead oi lead and quartz; aud there is Profeasoi Gregg at the Bingham house, with bis vaia aud machinery called tht leaching process, by which Mr. Gregg proposes to leach or pull tht gold and silver right out of the quartz and tive it strength. Mr. Gregg is chemist, and learned the process b his own experience. Prospecting is still going on hen and some good strikes have been mnde iu tbe Last Chance, Aladdin, and Old Stoney ledges. W. Galighei has put an engine to his jiggerB, auu ib making it lively for the eight houi shit ta, washing and jiggering Becoud aud third class ores. A new strike has also bean mnde above the old Silver Hill mine with two feet of car bouate aud galena ore; and opposite across the gulch, on the Wyandotte lode, n permanent vein has been discovered. Both walls aro as smooth as a board and rive feet wide aud con tain some of the finest carbonate aud galena ever found in BiDgham. The Nez Purees are working the usual force. The Y'osemite and Revere are doing well aud on the whole the camp is jogging along with better spirits than she had two moutha ago. I LlBEIil. |
