Mr. Quigley favored the bill, stating that it was really wanted, even by many of the employers, and certainly by all the leading men of the city.. Mr. Kerns favored a general law for the State, but said that the effect would be in jurious to the mechanics and laboring men of Philadelphia, because others from all parts of the State would flock there, where they need only work eight hours instead of ten, thus provoking needless competition, and reducing wages. Mr. Quigley thought that there was room enough and work enough in Philadelphia for all the mechanics who would come. Mr. Ruddiman was in favor of solne wise legislation on the subject; but was opposed to making a distinctive and special law for any particular portion of the State. The mater should be so regulated as to extend even justice to both the capitalists and the laboring men, and to harmonize all the interests.

Afternoon Session.—The House resumed the consideration of the Eight-hour bill, and the discussion was, continued between Messrs. Waddell, Donnelly, Quigley, Rud diman, Davis and Crosland.

Sec. and Treas. pro. Tem., J. HOPKINS TARR. The land of this Company consists of about 1.111 acres n :Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, about VI milts from the town of Charlotte. . . On this property 15 shags or pits have been opened and sunk to various depths from 10 to 85 feet., demon strating the existence of three parallel veins of ore o about 5 feet in width and about 15 feet apart; converging to a common centre at the depth of about 150 feet, for ming one immense mate or vein of ore extending in length through the property more than half a mile. There are also on this property other veins of ore an explored. All these ores are known as the brown ores, and are very rich, yielding an average of about per ton in gold. The above results having been demonstrated by the rude working of the mines for several years past, the risk of investment in unde veloped property is not incurred, and by the application of modern mining and reducing machinery the Com. pany anticipate an Immediate lodising return for their money. ' Having an ore that readily yields poo per ton. some estimate can be made of the value of this property, with the present iniperfect system of mining. Ten tons of this ore can b 0 taken out and reduced daily from every shaft opened at an expense not exceeding st.s per ton leaving a net daily profit of $1,730 for each abaft worked by the Company. the large working capital reserved will enable the Company at once to procure and erect the best modern machinery for :mantpubaing the ores, by means of which the yield will ):ie largtaiy increased. These mines whilst they produce ores =her than those of Colorado or Nevada, have many advantages ever them, particularly in an abundance of fuel and cheap labor, and the facility with which they can be worked during the entire year, whilst those of Colo• redo and Nevada can only be worked during the warm weather. A test assay of an average specimen of the ore from the Carson Mines was made as lateen the 27th of January, of the present year, as will appear from the following certificate of Professors Booth and (Jarrett, the Assayers of the Philadelphia Mint; Dear Sir: We have carefully assayed the sample of ore from Carson Mine, forth Carolina, and find It to yield ten ounces nine penny weights of pure Gold to the ton of ore. The coin value is therefore gm (2 per ton of ore, "yours respect] ally, BOOTH & GARRETT. Dn. M. B. TAYLOR,'• 404 Walnut street, Philadelphia. Subscriptions to the Capital Stock will be received at the office of the COMPANY, No. 407 Walnut street, where samples of the ore may be seen and fall infor mation received. re3.l2t XfOTICE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP.—The an -1.11 dersigned have this day, formed a limited Partner ship in accordance with the provision., of the Acts i n the General Asierubly, of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, relating thereto, unoer the name or firm in HOMER.
