WApswoRrH AND THE RAILROAD
Morton, of the we'll known Sample
Rooms, South C street, Virginia, having
returned last evening from a visi, to the
new town of Wsdsworth, at the Big
Bend Of the Truckee, gives the follow
ing latest items Of railroad news from
" the 'front.'" The passenger trains run
the distance from Reno down 10 Wads-
worth in one and a half hours, and TO-
day or tomorrow will run forty-fve
miles beyond Wadsworth to Browns, q
temporary station near the Sink Of the
Humboldt. The railroad is finished
nearly or quite to Oreana to-day, some
thirty miles beyond Browns, and the
grading is already completed to beyond
Winnemucca, and nearly a hundred
miles ahead Of the track layers. Win
nemucca is 1877 miles from Wadsworth,
on the left bank of Humboldt River,
and 324 miles from Sacramento. There
10 no accumulation Of railroad
material at the front, as the ties, rails,
ETC., are used up just as fast as the con-
struction trains can transport them.
In fact, owing to the insuficiency Of
locomotives and rolling stock, the
company may have to quit transporting
freight aud general merchandise for the
public for a time, and concentrate all
their u upon the transporting
Of construction material to the front,
otherwise they might get cut short of
that highly important requisite this
winter and thus the onward progress of
the great work be efectually impeded
by the deep SHOWS falling on the sum-
NIT Of the sierra Nevada next winter.
A to Wadsworth, the town is decided
ly . dull ono at present, although it
will probably como out all right in the
future. Hill Beachy's Idaho stage line
station which was there temporarily
was removed yesterday to Browns,
keeping pace with the advance
Of the railroad. Wadsworth ney-
er got so lively q start on build
ing as Reno did, by reason Of not
getting the necessary lumber to do it ton,
therefore she had not so good a chance
to run ahead Of herself and have to
fall back afterward. The railroad de-
pot is nearly finished and a large ma
chine shop three or four hundred feet
long is about to be constructed. This
will belong to the railroad company,
and be their headquarters for repairing
their locomotives and rolling stock this
side Of tho mountains, engineers being
changed at Reno hereafter, being the
first change this side of Sacramento.
The rsnchers below Wadsworth are in
the hight of their hay cutting opera
tons, but there are no hay yards at
wadsworth at all, the only ons consist
Of two bales, having sold out a few
days ago, and now waiting for fresh

If theatrical talent ever seen this side
If the Sierra Nevada. The play for to-
light will be Shakespeare's great Eve
