Show WESTERN MINING GAZETTEER THE TELEGRAPH MINE. SOMETHING NEW. This property should not be confounded with the Old Telegraph mine, although it is on the same lode ; this being a new company, having been organized in September last. The main incline has attained a depth of 130 feet and follows a well defined vein which averages about three feet in width. The hanging wall is quartzite and the footwall lime. In sinking the incline to this depth 30 tons of ore was extracted which averaged 18 ounces of silver and of) per cent. lead. The ore today in the bottom of the incline is 3 feet wide and averages with that heretofore taken out. A tunnel has been started to tap the vein 100 feet down ami is now in On feet and it will bo necessary to run it about 175 feet further before cutting the vein below the present workings in the incline. There is a full supply of lumber, mining timber, etc. on hand to prosecute thorough developments the present winter. The force of men will be considerably increased in a few weeks and work advanced with all possible dispatch. Some of our most influential business men are interested in this property and we shall be glad to see their high anticipations realized. A. new invention, destined to make a revolution in machinery, has just been tiied at Woolwich with complete success, it is an invented by Colonel Beaumoftt, of the Royal Engineers. It is described ns a marvel of compactness and convenience, weighing hut ten tons, yet capable of hauling, a burden of sixteen up a tolerably fair incline. The air reservoir, which contains only 100 cubic feet of air, was charged up to the pressure of 1,000 lbs. to the square inch, and with this supply it was propelled to and from Dartmouth, a distance of sixteen mill's. The secret of the invention was explained by Colonel Beaumont to be the introduction of a minute quantity of is largely heated, and steam by which the-ni- r The thereby greatly increased in force. uncontrollstrange looking engine, seemingly ed by steam or any other motive power, produced the greatest excitement along the road, and the people asked each other wheather the days had really come when engines should be worked without hands, and journeys accomplished without the reckoning of either time, or space, or any visible guidance.. -- GENERAL MINING NOTES. Among the new claimants for favor among quartz miners is a rocking quartz mill invented by 1). B. James, of San Francisco. If its claims are good, and it will do what the makers say it will, it will become jiopulur with miners ot limited capital who havo ores. It is a combination of the stamp mill and arastra movements, and the crushing is accomplished by rocking a heavy piece of iron in a mortar carrying lour shoes in the arc of a circle. The combined weight of the shoes and holder is alternately imparted to each shoe, separately, as it is rocked on the dies, creating suflicicnt agitation with the water in the mortar to discharge the quartz through the screen as fast as it is reduced, and the gold retained in the mortar, in amalgam, on the inside copper plate and among the dies. There is also a circulating channel from one end of the mortar to the other, through the concave dies, that the feed may he uniform under the convex shoes. The principal mines at present being worked at Mineral Hill, Nov., are the Austin, Great Republic and Troy Consolidated and Spencer The Austin is, and North Pole Consolidated. perhaps, the best of the group, and has yielded very handsomely in the past, having turned out a net of over $100,000 since its location. The Spencer and North Pole Con. has also yielded well, and is a verV promising claim. During the past year over one hundred tons of ore have been taken from the Austin, and there are now 200 tons that will run upwards of $100 per ton on the dump ot the .Spencer and North Pole Con.

It is on the same belt as the Lead and is owned by Bemis itv-jputti- ng & Co. The Mayflower is the deepest mine in Bingham, the shaft being down 800 feet. Operations arc to be resumed at once. The line vein in the bottom of the shaft will certainly justify the putting at work of a large force. There are 25 men at work on the Lead and 20 tons of ore shipped daily.
