Pacific Railroad Company have put
some > 900 men to work on the road, on
this side Of the summit, and in the
,~eichborhood of Crystal Peak. The
rn,d is completed to Cisco, which is Is
miles from Bonner Lake, and some IA
miles from the summit of the Sierras.
The work of crossing the summit we do
not believe will be completed IN less
than two wears. as it will be necessary
10 do considerable tunneling near the
summit, and the rock through which the
,unncl must necessarily be driven, is
of the hardest character of gray granite.
The road, however, will during the
coming Summer be completed from
above CRYSTAL Peak TO u point on the
Truckce not TO exceed twenty miles
from Virginia City. There will not be
more than two miles on the summit that
will delay the progress of the road,
the rest of the fourteen miles being as
good ground TO build II road over as
that living between Alta and Cisco. The
yaluc of the road to Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia, when completed TO the nearest
point 10 this place, will be i~ncalculable,
reducing freight and giving speedy com
muuicatiOn with the Bay cities. There
is no doubt but all that men and money
can do to put the road through with
dispatch will be done.
Crown PoINr.-ThiS company is max
ing a general overhauling of the prem
Uses around the mine. \ large pit for
the new pump is being dug out, and
quite Il force of carpenters are employed
making the necessary frames for the
erection of the pump. We stood in the
hosting works for half an hour, yeSter-
dav, and it was one continual stream OF
CATS. up and down the shaft, all the
time. From our observations we should
nudge that they were taking out over u
hundred tom per day. The ore which
is being taken from the Crown Point
mine. at the present time, resembles IN
nppcarlnce the ore taken from the Hale
i NorcroSS, having II greeuiSh tinge.
N~AGrIRE's OPERA HoUSE.-The Silver
Star Dramatic Club will give an enter
tainment this evening at the Opera
House. The performance will evidently
be a GOOD one, as this troupe in every
entertainment it has given since ITS
organization has afforded the best OF
satisfaction. We well remember the
FIRST time the troupe performed. We
were there. We performed. We be-
came discouraged in consequence OF our
natural dihidence, and have LETT the
'.boardS' forever. The balance OF the
ompany excepting ALI. Dotcn, proved
II success; and he has retired.
KExrucx WoRHS.-YeSterday after
noon we called around by the new
works of the Kentuck Company. We
found the new engine was started up,
and cages were put in the shaft, every
thing around the premises shows pros
peritv. The new machinery runs like
clock work. The engine is fifty horse,
and seems TO hoist out 4 car OF rock us
easily as though it was but L feather.
This is one of the best mines in Gold
Hill, according to its size; and now that
they have their own hosting works, no
doubt but large amount Of ore will be
taken out.
CLOSED CP.-B street between Piper's
and the International Hotel, is pretty
efectually closed up. The large build
ing intended for al engine house for
No. Company, which is being taken
down 3 street from above Taylor on
Thursday last, was brought down to
the point where it now stands. We
hope the spirit or the men who have the
contract, will soon remove the building
to its place of destination, and relieve
the streets of its presence. As II now
stands, it is almost impossible to take
"A wagon past it, while some of those
large loads of wood cannot pass At all.
DisAGREEABLE WEATHER. For the
past week the weather has been very
disagreeable indeed, but this morning
was particularly diSagreeable. The
wind which blew very strong was from
the northwest ut times, and from the
southwest the remainder of the time.
The air was filled with a mixture of
snow and rain which was being blown
about so much that it seemed to us it
would never find the ground. We were
glad TO see the snow and rain, but
would like to dispense with the wind.
HAGExAS.-This individual, who for
a week past has been figuring in our
Courts, yesterday was handed over to
officer Fuller, mot Bulger, as we yester-
day stated BY mistake who will take
him TO San Francisco, where he will
have an opportunity to show his inno-
cence, if he can. 1t is TO be hoped that
the people of San Francisco will catch
their s~capegraceS before they get over
here. AS we have enough of business to
take care of our own affairs.
STREET CRoSsINGs.-Quite u number
of plank walks have been laid across
C street since the storm commenced.
Another one is being put down to-day,
in front of McCourt & O~rndortf's s, and
is done by those living in the vicinity.
Such things are a great help to any
town we would like to see some step
ping posts crossing the streets of Gold
Hill.
MAsoxIC.-Silver Star Lodge, Gold
Hill, will have a meeting at their Hall
this Saturday evening, for the election
Of officers for the ensuing year. All
the members of the Lodge are requested,
and all brethren in good standing, in
vited to be present.
Coop SPoRr.-There will be some
good sport at McCourt L orndoff's to-
night. Chicken fighting is all the go
now, as they have just received a large
shipment from California of the best
game on the Coast.
THERE will be religious service in the
NJ. E. Church, Gold Hill, tomorrow, at
the psual hours, morning and evening.
