A BEAuTY.-Washoe Engine Company
No. has just received new hose truck
from San Francisco. 1t cost $500, and is de-
cidedly the neatest jumper upon which We
have ever laid eyes. It has upon it three fine
toned bells suspended from springs. No. 4,
though the last organized of the Virginia
companies, is as efficient as those Of earlier
date. 1t has full roll of wideawake young
men, nearly every one of whom has seen SER
vice in other fire departments.
A New BUsINEss.-A man named Nelson
leaves here in the morning, with four-horse
team, to bring in load of salt from Sand
Springs, where the saline article abounds in
unlimited quantities, and needing only to be
shoveled up like sand. Sand Springs is
eighty-ive miles distant from Austin, Reese
River, and in view of the abundance of salt
fields thereabouts, it is strange that salt
should sell so very high here.
THE BULLION DRIFT.-During the past
week, bullion to the amount of SlS9.694 10
was sent over the mountains by Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s Express.
THE PUBLIC ScHooL.-The Board of Edu-
cation have appointed three of their number
