L M nOGBS - WEEBLT BSCOBD, SATIRDAV JUNE a. 187T LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. FR03I NlLVElt REEF. We bare tho fallowing news'from Sil ver Beef, Ctuli: A Mr. Harrison and Fisher, bave their leaching process in fall blast and it is a perfect suocegs. A stone three (pet iu diameter, ten inches in width and heavily ironed, weighing 3,000 ponnda, revolves on a circular track over a body of ore and crashes two tons every twelve hours; the gross proceeds of this procuim is 92 per cent, of bullion of the pulp assay. Two tons is all they are prepared to leach in twenty-fonr hours, bat they are now engaged in creating six tanks more; when these are finished it will enable them to leach fivj tons every thirty-six konrs. Captain Henry Lubbock is now ac tively eugaged in developing the mines lately parcfiaaed by a company in Han Francisco. The mines have been sur veyed and the boundaries established so that he is enabled to ke-p nil intruders ut a proper distance. Tt9 Hunter and Ooss mill has about siily men to work. Fart cf their ma cbiurry is on tho ground aDI bul anoe is all on the way from York, mak ing a string of little wagons reaching from the railroad to tha Virgin river. They are not alarmed at Silver Kocf about the drilling of the Mormons, al though it is going on at St. George, Santa Clara, Tocquerville and Virgin City; they consid-r it a tempest in a tea-pot. Our correspondent writes that in re gard to polygamy, the Mormons are a practical people, A polygamic stated to him bis experience, saying that now he was perfectly happy, which was more than he could say when he had only one wile now he has three. His first wife he said was very good at first, bot event ually she turned out to be a regular cat at quarreling, fighting and scratching all day long. As ha did not have money to get a divorce, ha did the next best thing got himself wife No. 2 then all the fights were between No. 1 and No. 2, but as No. 2 was not strong enough for No. 1, be had to take the side of No. 2. Whenever be re turned from a short absence he always found No. 2 badly nsed up, so when be found bimseif in this dilemma, he took to himself wife No. 3, and everthing ib serene. The way matters stand is thus: No. 2 and No. 3 have formed an alliance, offensive and and defensive, against No. 1; No. 3 and No. 1 made a compact against the old man, the old man and No. 1 made a compact against No. 2 and No. 3, and the old man and No. 2 made a compact against No. 1 and No. 3 and the old man and No. 3 made a compact aaaiust No. 1 and No, 2, so that although the women have occasional fights, the old niun is so bound up by the varions compacts that he considers it would be dishonorable in bitn to take any part, so be only gazes contentedly at tbe con flict, sees fair play, and when the fight is over takes the broom and sweeps tbe flair out ot aoors. Alps Company. Work is being prose, cated on the winze from the 201-foot level and a fine streak of ore has come in during the past week . It is tbe inten tion of Mr. Blair to put on a prospecting force next week on the lowest level and run a drift to cat the vein encountered in the winze above mentioned. A large force of men have been at work daring the past week at the Washington and Creole and Mazeppa mines, recently ac quired by purohase, the hoisting-works oi toe Mazeppa having been comnletelv overhauled and placed in excellent order; mciins shaft, ore sautes, dumps and track repaired and made ready for prosecuting tbe work of raising ore in large quantities. Superintendent Blair win return this evening from San Iran oisoo, whan work on the obove mine will be vigorously prosecuted. The mill is ruunmg regulurly on custom ore ut the canyon Raymond & Elt. The prospects on tho lower levels still oontinue as good as before reported; good assays are made of the ore extraoted from the main drift on that level. Daring the progress of uo woik on mat level have crossed a seam of quartz 8 or 10 inohes in thick ness, which gives very high assays, but um man vein is not considered as be' longing to the ledge. Not havino room enough on top the ore taken from the lower level is assorted ami niu.l in the drifts and will be sent to tbe mill for separate working, so as to know exaotly bat it yields, which oould not be done worked with other ore. The upper eels are looking well, yielding satisfac torily and improving in appearance as j vuuiiuus io ue reopened. DlSAQBKKD AND MaNSLACOHTEB.

One i Avina I ft vial Kilt A'AHACA SALOON, THE BIG HEAT. Wo paid a visit on Sunday last to the Raymond fc Ely Foundry to witness the big beat" that was to be taken off that day under the supervision of George Fatton and his attendant Battellites. Quite a number of our citizens were an anxious to witness the castings as we were, for when w arrived at the foundry at about half-past one that day we found a goodly number of gentlemen, with a few ladies, present as spectators. Tbe blower was making a tremendious noise, the furnace was pouring out a Btreara of molten iron, while Fatton and his attendants were dancing around the flames with ladles, pokers and other pbarapheoaiia suitable for the occasion. and bringing forcibly to one's mind tbe teachings ot youth about the "fiery pit filled with brimstone and a lot of little devils dancing around ready to toss you in as soon as it was warm enough. Seven thousand pounds of oast-iron were melted down, from which metal there was cast crown wheels, mullers, shoes, pan-bottoms and a retort weighing 1,800 pounds. . Tbe moulds of the small arti cles were all filled with the molten liquid from small ladles, but wben it came to casting the retort and pan bot toms, me oig lauie noiding a,oou pounds, neing moved around by a orank. was brought into requisition. With tbe aid of tbe crank it was easily moved to the desired position and the fiery liquid canted Into the moulds from it. The machinery all worked well and the operation being done without hurry or flurry, tbe "big heat" proved a'sacoess every particular. Shortly before ight the boxes were taken from tbe castings bo as to allow them a chanoe to cool more rapidly, that process generally tuning aoout trom ten to twelve hoars. Tbe various visitors moved off after tbe pouring was completed, well pleased with what tbey had seen or learned. Killed at Dabwis. We have tbe news in town that George Hirsch was shot and instantly killed in the streets of Darwin City, California, by some un- uown person. Hirsch formerly resided in Pioche and enjoyed the distinction of aving killed his man in this town. He killed Harry Gorman on the 20th of September, 1870, by cutting him with a knife, and was only held for man slaughter, on which charge he escaped by some informality. He was not the first to kill a man in Piocbe, as tbe Eu reka Sentinel asserts, as Dick Todd had been killed by W. Dodd previous to that. we expect to hear of other murderers, who have committed just such deeds as Hirsch did in Pioche, dying just es he as aone. Butteb, sweet and fresh, at Pou. a lie's That Wbistlk. A prolonged sound ing of the whistle at the Mazeppa hoist ing-works on last Tuesday evening cre ated quite sn exoitement around town, many thinking it was a fire alarm wnue omers thought some serious accident had happened there and that assistance was needed. Mr naie dispatched a man to the mine nstantly who returned with tbe report that everything was all O. K. and that the whistling was caused by tbe weight dropping on the whistle and it oould not be reached and adjusted until the steam was exhausted. Stuket Cleaning. We have been sub jected to considerable nuisance ever sinoe tbe parties now having it in hand havo taken the job of street cleaning. The dirt is soraped up in piles along tbe streets, and snowed to stay there nntil there is a windy and blustry day, wben tbe work ot shoveling in the cart is per lormeo, tne operation causing clouds ot dost to ue mown down the street and half of the dirt blown away, This Black Hills. We learn from J Stevens, who has just returned from tbe Black Hills, that Jot and Wes Travis are in the livery and exchange business at Deadwood City; that Wee is attending strictly to business and has quit forever 'Gambling on tbe Green. Mr. Stevens doeB not think much of that country and says that much sunering will be expert enced there this season. Ckntinsdks. Centipedes have been found under rocks ia the vicinity of Pioche this season. This is the first season they were ever known to be in this neighborhood. They are a very re' pulsive looking insect and their bite or sting is generally always fatal. G. It. Alexander has at bis store a scorpion that was captured not long Bince, its size being about three inches.

Minor, Secre tary of State, for a handsome bound volume of the reports of oases de termined by tbe Supreme Court of the State of Nevada during the year 1870, reported by Charles F. Bioknell, Olerk, and Thomas F. Uawley, Chief Justice. AncHis Yoacham's Butter at Pou Ektubnino Pilobims. We notice every day strange faces and old ac quaintances who bave been absent from this camp for some time, returning here on account of the idea prevailing that Pioche was "panning out well" and was much belter than the camps from wbicb they bad emigrated. There are new arrivals daily, some putting in an appearance with their packs upon their backs while others arrive on horseback, or by stage or wagon. Although things in this section have taken a tnrn de cidedly for the better, we will suggest to the surplus mining population of Nevada and Utah not to all come flocking in here at once. There have been quite a number of men put to work in our mines lately, and will be many more alter the companies have everything in readiness, but, however, Pioche is utter ly unable to supply the whole of the un employed population of this coast with employment. A Catastbophk. "Dennis" has for some time been daily engaged in carry ing meal froms the Bank Exchange Res taurant to tbe residenoe of one of their customers, and in conveying the victuals from one pluce to tbe other, he always packed them on his head and went along whistling one of his favorite songs. It bad been raining and snowing the best part of last Tuesday, consequently mak ing the walking rather slippery, and in tbe evening, as Dennis was performing his daily task aud went along whistling and feeling just as happy as a big sun flower, be bad the misfortune of having his legs suddenly slip from under him, and taking a seat on the Bidewalk, mak ing a Bavory meal for the canines of the Bouttered grub. Tbe .colored gentlemau looked at tbe moss and broken dishes for about a minute, and seeing that they were past all repair remarked, as he walked away, "l)ey is all dun gone. Buab." Butteb, sweet and fresh, at Pou- jade's. The Condition Ea9t. A private letter from Philadelphia says: "I never knew business to be iu such a depressed con dition; the streets are filled with people who are anxious to work but are unable to get it, Every business bouse seems to make it an object to lessen help and expenses in every way, factories are shut np, railroads are complaining of want of trade and their stock is Belling at lower prices than ever known before. Dry goods and olothing are selling at lower prioes than before the war, bat people nave no money witn which to huv them. The necessaries of life meat, bread, and provisions ot all kinds as well as tea and coffee have advanced in consequence of the war in Europe, or rather speculators bave taken advantage of tbe situation and run up prices. Fibst Whistle. The Alps Company having taken possession of the Wash' ington and Creole and Mazeppa mines had tbe machinery put in order, and nnder the supervision 'of Theo. Hale. Btarted tbe works and sounded the whiBtle trom the Mazeppa the firBt part of the week. On that occasion a keg of beer was tapped and the new starting was made the occasion ot much rejoicing among those present, and also among Piochers generally. Tbe individual who manipulated the lower end of the whistle string understood his business. Bain and Snow. We experienced in Piocbe on Monday last a heavy wind storm which finally culminated that night in a heavy rain, which continued throughout the most of Tuesday, the weather getting cold and changing the the rain to a storm ot snow occasionally, Wednesday morning, however. or)ened blight and clear and every promise of a continuation or pleasaut weather.

Old Tiffin says: "Evening dress is style of costume sanctioned by society for enabling the ladies to display their natural beauties with a profusion worthy of Grecian statue." A certain noble Earl and a priest lived upon tbe same Irish estate. Both of the gentlemen were thoroughly good-natured, but, as they belonged to different creeds, they considered it necessary "to agree to differ." After a while tbey met at the house of a mutual friend, when it was arranged that their aggressions upon each other should be restricted to tbe narrowest limits. Tbey shook hands and separated on the best possible terms, on the understanding that tbe priest should denounce the Earl ones a year from the altur on Christmas Day, and tbe Earl annually, on tbe anniversary of the lioyue, should burn tbe priest in effigy.
