THE VI AviSVAiT is still doing good work, emptoyini: aKuit niiKly men, who are sending tho mineral out in tous daily. The men are encouraged tvi work by the prompt ners with which they aio paid tor tlieir. labor. Keeently a veiy birgo body of oro was itruek in a now plnee, a pocket opening from a tew inches to so mo twenty leet, not knowing know-ing its hmght and depth. This was at the soutliwwt of the incline. Hitherto tb Uxly of ore struck and taken out of the mine has been vcl and north of tho incline, but this time it is iu tho opposite direction, whieh is very eueouraging not only in the Fiagi tall owners, but to all others having claims not fully developed in that dheetion. Tins company is shipping largely daily. the soi;nt si'ar is in daily work taking out quantities i of oro, and seems to bo in gexvl eon- j dition and prospects. Souio very : valuable oro has been taken out of J itnts mine, assaying as mueti as i-VV) to the ton. THE WKLLIXOrOS", in this canon, has quite a quantity of ore ready for shipment, awaiting the abatement ot the storm long enough to make thesnow solid , so that it can bo snaked to the toot ot the mountain .by horses aud raw hides. The men ay that they will be well paid fir : tluir time and work. It is worked in tiie best and moat e-'onimical nin-n nin-n er.

The company is stid running the tunnel in, and making good hetuiwiy. Tee men are reticent about the strike, but from all wo cm gather nothing of great importance has been found. Of course iu running in such a neb hid something must be struck that shows mineral, and, no doubt, the company will have a "b;g thing" of it soon, fney deserve great praise for the persever.uieo displayed, and the continued payment ot Hie hands. We have had thawing for a tew days, and the snow is gelling settled. It shows a .rwnrintss like old snow and during t:ie thaw it is hard for animals to travel. At this advanced time of winter, we think that it will thaw and settle as fast as it fails, so that the snow is as deep as it will be this season. In a few weeks it will settle and thaw Usler, and then the "green under the snow" will appear once more to gladden our snow-bound 1 eyes. 6RASITE settlement, at the mouth of the canon, is again visited with the rays of the sun, ot which it had been altogether deprived for about six or eight weeks in midwiuter. A DAY SCHOOL, strange aa it may appear, will open on Monday (28th) under the tuition of Mrai Sutterley, who is well qualified , for the duties, having had experience : in the profession j To pour instruction in the infant mind, j But very few children remain in the town, yet those few will have the golden opportunity, and they are elated at the privilege, as no school has been held here since August last. The bovs think it will be fine times going on snow-shoes to school and having no trouble to find enow for balling each other during recess. Ah, bappy day;, who would not wish gain to bs a boy. But we cannot; we can look on, however, how-ever, and see the sport. On Saturday last in consequence of; the inclemency of the weaihftr, we! had no mail, which has been the first! miss for a long time. Several teams1 arrived, however, during the day, andi returned with ore, and it was rather a surprise that no mail put in an appearance. ap-pearance. G Alta, Feb. 27th. |
