The mill is expected to begin to go up in a couple of weeks, when the remainder ia on the ground. Mining goes ou in several of the shofts night and day, as may be noted by tbe loud reports of blasts, which are heard nt all hours in the night. The rush of building is abating abat-ing and in the slight calm wo manage to count some five slores, two res-taurauts, res-taurauts, one lodging hvuie, ten saloons, half a dozen assay offices, two Chinese wash houses, a few shops and numbers of dwellings. A few days since Mrs. B. H. Fati-dock Fati-dock was considerably injured by being thrown from a horse. To day at St. George, Charles Clinton was very much hurt by beintr run over by the wagon he was riding in. His front teeth wore ground out, ear injured, in-jured, etc. Yesterday the office of the Pomol-opist Pomol-opist fc Gardener was found to he o lire, while the workmen were at dinner. The fire was soon extinguished, extin-guished, but the job office was much damaged and numbers of founts dustrcyed. Very truly, J. E. J. |
