RAILROAD MArrsps.-Relative to the

RAILROAD MATrsRs.-Relative to the
expressed idea OF the Central PACING
Railroad Company concentrating their
entire energies and resources upon the
building Of the railroad, aud therefore
being obliged to quit, to a certain ex-
tent, the transportation Of goods for our
merchants and the public generally in
order TO use their locomotives aud roll
ing stock to transport all the railroad
construction material possible to the
'front" before the storms and SHOWS Of
next winter should stand a chance to
cut of their railroad communication
across the summit Of the Sierra, and OF
which we had an item o few days since,
the Carson Appeal Of this morning thus
sensibly remarks: at being evident
that every consideration Of the use OF
the road for freighting must be held
subservient to the exigencies Of its con-
struction, it follows that the California
supplies Of our merchants will have to
be brought over the mountains by the old
way Of Single Springs aud Placerville.
We take it for granted that our mer-
chants have taken steps towards getting
their winter Supplies either through a
definite understand g with the rail-
road people or by contract with parties
who are f~reighting over the Placerville
route. II won't do to risk II famine
next winter and unless our merchants
get in their goods within the next two
months or so we will have to fall back
on iacksss rabbits and pine-nuts by the
time February comes around. The C.
P. R. R. are going down the home
stretch now, racing with the Union
Pacific, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they will choose the greater profits
Of construction 10 the lesser gains
of freight carrying. Prairie schooners
and pack trains will once more come
into requisition il we are not much mis-
taken in the situation"
HoRyrowS Brownsville Hale L
Norcross and the Chollar-Potos compa-
ME, have each received and just put in
complete operation their new patent
tanning or blowing mills to force fresh
air from the surface through iron or
wooden tubes down into the lower
depths Of their respective mines. Roots
patent fans are the style of instrument
used, and they operate very efficiently,
giving an abundant supply Of air aud so
strong a current of il At the bottom Of
the tubes in the lower levels as to blow
off the hats Of the miners who come in
a HwAssNu ~ Nhn cn1nnntnn An q
blast The extreme and oppressirely
high temperature Of the mining depths
is thereby very much reduced, and the
miners work in comparative comfort.
Mr.. Colcord, the Superintendent Of the
Imperial-E Empire shaft, Informed US this
morning that the fan Of the same pattern
which is to be put in operation at that
place is expected to arrive at any mo-
ment, and will be at once called into
service. The air-pump now in use
there does very well for the present,
until the new fan can be rugged, which
will not take long. The galvanized iron
piping to be used is already on the
ground and will be placed in the shaft
and drifts rs soon as the fan arrives.
GREAT UNION RALLY To-yIGHr.-ln
accordance with fully completed ar
raugements, there is to be a grand
mass-meeting and torehlight procession
of the Union men Of Storey County and
their friends from adjoining towns this
evening. The Union Clubs of Gold
Hill will assemble At Theater Hall at I
o'clock, where torches will be provided,
and accompanied by the Clubs from
Silver City and Dayton, who are sup
posed to arrive about that time, they
will march up to Virginia, Joining in
with the Union Clubs Of that town, on
the Divide. After marching in grand
procession through the principal streets,
all will assemble in front Of the stand
on C street, when they will be addressed
by Hon. VIM. N. Stewart, Hon. Geo. C.
Gorham, Hon. Charles E. belong, and
others. Sec programme in another col
umn. This will be the opening gun OF
the campaign, and a demonstration will
be made tonight, true, loyal and enthu-
siastic, which will strike terror into the
souls Of all enemies Of America. "Ral.
ly round the Flag, boys" "Grant's

In HARD Rocx.-The deeper sinking
of the Imperial Empire shaft has pro-
crossed about twelve feet, the rock At
present encountered is found to be Of
an extremely hard nature, rendering the
work Of sinking through it rather slow
er than IL it were more favorable.
When, however, the shaft is deep
enough so that blasting can be conduct
ed with less danger to the tanks, faster
progress will be made. The air at the
bottom Of the shaft is very good, and
not uncomfortably warm. This is by
reason Of the draft created by the as
cending and descending cages and bail
ing tanks.

CoApLErED.-The horse cars are COM
pleted and placed upon the new rail-
road Jointly built by the Yellow Jacket,
Keutuck and Crown Point Companies,
TO carry the waste rock from each to a
more roomy and convenient place in the
rayine south of the Overman. The
waste is deposited BY the usual small
mining cars from the respective dumps
of each company into these large horse
cars. which hold twelve or fifteen Of
the small car loads, andthus is got rid
of to very good advantage.

much improved by the waste rock win
which it has been macadamized IN
places. We hope, however, our worthy
Street Commissioner will not weary in
