MINING AccIDESr.-The Enterprise OF
this morning says: About 4 o'clock last
evening the hosting cable in one Of the
compartments Of tho Hale / Norcross
shaft parted, and the cage fell a distance
of about 10 feet. Mr.. Dennis Callahan,
a we'll known and respected miner, was
on the cage at the time, and was very
seriously injured in the back, or, as the
medical men term it, conclusion oil the
dorsal vsrtebre. DR.. LeGruen attended
tho injured man, and has strong hopes
of his ultimate recovery. Unless "acute
alibro spinal meuegitis" sets in, the man
will be out again in ten days; all OF
which means that he will be all right
again in that length of time unless
Inflammation of tho spinal column
should intervene. Owing to the nature
of his injury he was in O very critical
condition for q time last evening, but
the doctor succeeded in relieving him
to o great extent, and with good care
he will probably recover.
COVE AND Cor MARRIED.-As will be
seen BY notice under the appropriate
head, Thomas E. Finch, whom every
body in this section knows as a good
man and citizen of Gold Hill, has, after
a 43 years run as a member OF the
bachelor fraternity, gone and hung aim
self with the matrimonial halter. de
has left single bles,edness permanently,
but as he sent the usual wine and cake
compliments to this office, " his loss is
our gain" And now may the roseate
beams Of over golden joy and ineifable
delight evermore beam In unmit'gated
splendor DER. We wouldn't mind
going o little poetry on this occasion
were it not for the discouraging cut IN
that respect our Virginia contemporary
gave US awhile ago.
THE FIRST RAIL LAID.-At half past
seven o'clock this morning, Superin-
tendent Yerington drove the spike to the
first rail Of the Virginia h Truckes Rail-
road, at Carson City, and at half-past
ten o'clock tho locomotive was running
ON the track. The first spike was OF
pure silver, made and presented by w.
c. B~ousGsld, Esq, the well known
assayer Of Virginia City, with simple
inscription Of the name of the road and
date. If there are no Interruptions, a
half mile daily will be laid, and the
grading in Gold Hill will be completed
within ten days-thus bringing the loco
motive and train here in about thirty
days.
The REASON WuY.-The reason why
q considerable portion Of South c street,
north of the Divide, has been allowed
TO 70 unsprinklsd and disagreeably
dusty, for some weeks past, was because
the water company, finding their supply
OF water rather scanty and growing
moro 10, could not afford to supply the
sprinkling cart with the requisite huid.
TAXPAYERS LOOK 0ur.-Town Mar
shall Crsndall desires us to say that
next Friday is the last day for paying
town taxes here in Gold Hill, without
the extra ten per cent. being added. All
interested had better walk up TO the
Captains office and settle in time, or
otherwise be left to the tender mereies
OF the law.
BuRoLAaY.-Last evening the DWELL
ing Of Frank Reed, on South B street,
was entered while be and his wife were
ont visiting, and the bed robbed OF
three pairs Of blankets and q comforter.
It appeared as though the burglar was
in a hurry, and simply made a single
grab at the bed filings, as nothing else
was missed.
BLusrxar.-It was about as blussery
this morning, on the Divide, as we have
seen il. The wind drove the dust in
fiiorce binding clouds, and it was all
Brown, the bus driver, could do 10
keen his hair on. If he wore q wig, the
only safety he would have for it would
be to stick it on his head with muci-
lags, like a postage stamp.
A CRusHER.-In q mining accident
item this morning, the Enterprise gets
off the following "Unless acute ALI
bro spinal meningitis sets in, the man
will be out again in ten days" we
would like to have Dan or some doctor
explain that term correctly. 1t rather
gets us, that alibro," especially.
