The miae, too, are yielding Iargrly. On Sunday last the house of one of the pioneers of this place, George Crowley, was burned to ashes. Everything Every-thing he possessed and bich had taken years of toil to gather together, was consumed in the fire. His losa is estimated at about $1,000. A new tramway is being bui-t up main Bingham to the Steamboat a.nd other mines- The Egan mill ia running on Peabody gold ore. The Jordan mine ia working a large force of men. The hoisting works ol the Last Chance mine are being pushed ahead and the num. bet of men on thia mine will shortly be increased to a cousiderable ; extent. A good income is being netted to the owoer3 of the Mayflower by the mine. It yields gold and silver and is superintended by Mr. R. D. Clark with Mr. Wiu. Dufl'as ioreman. A new ledte baa beau discovered at the head of Bear Gulch, the vein cf which is about four inches in width and contains native gold in quartz. The find only having been made last week we have not yet learned the general results and the lucky discoverers are very shy about talking of the ledge. Among other discoveries here is that of a bed ol arsenic, and bv way of warning we recommend a miner to make bis will before going to work in it. In the Winnebago mine, which is just above aud runs parallel with the Mayflower, a very good strike baB been mado. The ore assosya $339 37 in silver and $723 51 in gold, being the highest assay yet made, and for the week past. the vein has averaged aver-aged $121.

George Hinckley, who was covered by the cave in the Spanish mine last week, is so far recovered as to be able to move around. LirtEfil. |
