III EVENING NEWS.

and furnishes the Nevada Gazette with
some items in relation to the progress;
of the railroad. The grade is now
completed for some miles above Cisco
aud it is expected that another section
of track will be laid this fall, but it i:
not probable that any attempt will be
made to run the cars beyond Cisco unit
the snow melts of next season. The
section between Alta and Cisco, it will
be remembered. was completed late last
fall, but the arrangements for making
regular trips were not perfected, and
resulted in much detention and great
expense in keeping the road open. The
managers became aware, when too late,
that they had made n mistake IN trying
TO keep the track open last winter above
Alta but during the coming winter
there will be no difficulty in making
regular trips to Cisco. A large number
of men are now engaged in grading on
the other side of the summit, and as
soon as the snow disappears the track
will be laid and the cars run rs far as
Coburn's Station. This place, which
is now called "TrucSee,' is in the
southeast corner OF Nevada coun-
w, aud on account of its tacil-
tiles as a lumber depot, IS eS-
pected to become n place OF some I'M
portance. The summit tunnel IS not
vet completed. An opening was made
through some weeks ago, but there Is
about one hundred and fifty feet of what
is called the score the lower nan OF
the exc~avation-to be taken out, whicn
will require about four weeks Tune
The upper part of the excavation Is
called the "cone." After making an
opening the air came through the Jun
nel with such force that they were com
pelled TO put up II partition 10 stop 'no
draft. and enable the men to carry on
the work. By the use OF nitro-glyeerine
for blasting, the tunnel has been cut
through in much less time than 1t could
possibly have been done with powuer'
The tunnel. if we recollsct right, Is
lao feet in length, and IT was caicu,
lated that three years would be occupied
in making it. But the work was COM
meueed only about II year ago, aud Is
now nearly completed. Along the Inc
of the road they have certain hours for
blasting, so that teamsters and others
travelling in the vicinity may guard
against accident.
FEARFUL AccIpESr.-Aboutll o'clock
last evening a man named Thomas Coons
fell from the high sidewalk on the east
side Of D street, near the corner OF Tay-
lor, a distance of twenty feet or more,
to the ground beneath. He was very
DRINK nj the time. He was seen to tall,
and some policemen and others Drought
him 10 the station-house. DR.. T.. U.
Green was sent for, and on examination
found the skull just over the right eye
crushed in upon the brain, the wound
being nearly two inches in length. IL
was probably produced by a sharp stone
mon which he fell. Several pieces OF
hone were removed. He was otherwise
considerably bruised. He is an Irish
man, about 40 years of age, unmarried,
and has latterly been working on U
street for the Water Company.

Rocky MOUNTAIN WAR-HooP Among
the audience at McCluskey's theater,
last night, was a genuine Rocky noun
tain trapper-who, if we should judge
him rightly, is part Indian. He evident
ly enioyed the performances hugety-as,
being somewhat in his cups he gave
some most extraordinary sGL1os, 6rdpo',
saeores, or rar-hoops, during the pertor-
mances-which very forsibly reminded
as of a skirmish zee engaged IN on tue
Platte river, near Ash Hollow, IN the
month of June, 1850. The old Rocky
mountaineer was not so timid and do
cile AS our Piutes or Washoes-and II
was refreshing to see and hear MN
shout.
NcCLusXry's BENEFIT.-Last night,
there was q goodly and lively crowd OF
ns,rous a, Mike McCluskey's benefit, at
Tbea,er Hall, Gold Hill. The perfor-
mances were decidedly clever and high.
Iv amusing. In fact, we may say, II
was the most original performance we
baye seen at McCluskey's. Everything
. p,ssed off quite pleasantly, Jovialiy,
and rleefully. All the performers did
their "~level best to please, ana the
audience evidently appreciated their en-
deavors.
Goyr GArHERrSG.-The Indians that
do mostly camp in the vicinity oil Gold
Hill and Virginia have, with few excep-
tions, zone on their annual pine-nut
gathering business, and some folks COM
plain of their absence-as Mary is u
GOOD clothes-rubber, and John can be
prevailed upon to chop a stick OF wood
or do a little %scrubbing, now and then.
Sr. MARY's CHURCH FAIR.-Recollect
that tonight this Fair closes. A large
number of rafies take place, and stocks
of goods remaining will be auctioneered
off to the highest bidder. A great gath
ering of patrons may be expected to-

BLACK CRoox.-The walk-a-round at
this establishment is immense. On TINS
night, there will be an endeavor to sur
prise the audience with several little
Frances such rs have not heretofore
been encountered on this coast. Also
every one will get on their tights, sober.
Go and see.
PrrER's.-Full to a seat lastnight. A
