AUSTIN AND a RArLRoAD.-1n an,
other column will be found o call, signeo
by the principal business men OF tnis
city, for a meeting to be held in tue
CITY Hall tomorrow "Wednesday even
ing at 8 o'clock. The object OF Tue
meeting, as expressed, is to consult
freely On the most advantageous route
direct from Austin to the Central Pacihc
Railroad. To strike the raliroaa Nv
point on the Humboldt river 9irec.iy
o~nnosite Austin, over a short ana prac'-
Gable road through Reese River valley,
wonid appear to be the plan thai wou.u
commend itself to the citizens OF 'ulS
nIace Such n road is absolutely nee
csssry to preserve the trade OF AUSTIN
and il will not only preserve 1t, put VIII
tend to increase and perPetuate IL; @
cost Of constructing such q ro@a
mere bagatelle in comparison " J,
great and palpable advantage wnlcn ~
Offers. Besides helping to maintain tue
present and growing business Of AUSTIN
With the districts lying to the south ana
southeast, the proposed connection WIN
the railroad will enhance the value OF
land in Reese River valley (; it will slim
ulate the farmers there to increase the
productions of the soil, and it will add
TO the value of the market OF Austin.
It is clearly of the first Importance that
the travel to and the supplies for this
city should reach 1t by the way OF Reese
River valley and it has been shown
that a road thence to the Humboldt
river will be only about 80 miles long,
and can be built at a very slight cost.
As the matter of the road appeals d.
rectly to the merchants, owners of
property, and indeed to every resident
Of the city, it is to be hoped that the
call will receive proper attention.
CHARGE OF STEALING ORE.-On the
complaint of Marcus Lane, agent Of the
Buel North Star mine, made yesterday
before Justice Logan, that q certain
amount of ore had been stolen by GER
tain parties from the dump pile Of the
| North Star mine, search warrants wero
issued and placed in the hands of Sher-
if Sauboru. The warrants were returned
this morning with about 1900 pounds
of ore, which was identified by Mr..
Lane rs the property Of his Company,
and the Sheriff was ordered by the
Court to restore it to him. The ore
was found by the Sheriff on the premises
of two different parties, but no prosecu-
ton has yet been commenced against
either of them. But it is likely that
the matter will be investigated, as the
offense is a serious one, and quite too
common in this city.
From the RepeiM Of the Goth
BETTER 0RE THAN EvRR'-As uniform
ly good as has been the ore produced
by the North Star mine Of the Manhat-
tan Company, yet it WINS far inferior to
that obtained at present. We saw mas
ses Of it on Saturday which surpassed
any rich sulphuret ore produced by any
mine on Lander hill. There are chunks
of apparently pure metal of light and
dark ruby color others again in which
quartz was intermingled with the metal;
and still other pieces in which tho metal
and white quartz formed alternate lay
ers. A considerable quantity Of ore
might be selected in the ore.house
which would yield in the mill fully n
thousand dollars to tho ton. We did
not learn the depth from which this rich
ore was extracted, but it evidently &C.
ours in the chimney which has been
heretofore opened in that valuable mine.
A Weeks PRoDUcr.-The amount of
bullion produced by the Manhattan mill
for the week ending Saturday, the eth
instant, is 90, 54S ounces. This is much
less than the great product of the former
week, but it is still high for q twenty
stamp mill.
