this section, particularly among the
fancy" He always was a sporting
man, and when ~ come to billiards
Natz is all there. He didn't happen
to be at Virginia when Deery was there
a short time eco, fooliug away his time
with Jamison, otherwise bs might have
found an opponent worthy of his cue
Nat5, q year or two ago, was the winner
Of the champion cue OF 0:msby County,
and has just won the champion cue
of White Pine, both cues being consid.
crably similar in style. He. proposes
coming to Virginia next, in order to
take the champion cue Of the State
away from Billy Brimacomb. Read the
following about his White Pine s%chjeve-
ment, from the Inland Empirs of last
Saturday: In the billiard match

500 points up, three largest ruus made
by Furst being sc, 81, IS; number of
plays-Eurst SO, Burk 81; average OF
runs 6 ?-s3. The game was very closely
contested, Burk having but three points
TO make and Furst seven, when tprst
went out. During the whole Of the
time the saloon was n perfect jam. This
being the first regular billiard match in
White Pine, it was thought hes, to pre-
sent. to the winner a champion cue.
Pat Holland, we understand, superin-
tended its construction, and from his
fertile imagination drew all the May
decorations tina. grace il. Among the
many valuable metals aud precious
stones se, in it, We would mention n
large diamond from Diamond Mountain,
rabies from Ruby Valley, bullion from
the base metal range, brass from q mine
just discovered in Eureka, etc. Tho Il
was maGa from frogsry, which grows on
the highest point Of White Pine Noun
tain, and is very extensive in its pro.
portions, On a large metallic plate,
engraved by Charles Kay, is the word
D." champion" The cue was presented
TO Mr.. Furst by Colonel Fittan, who
said Il am requested in :he name of
tho billiard players of White Pine to
preseu. to you this cue in tokea Of .heis
high appreciation of your billiard at
tainments, and in so doing bcpe am
presenting it to one who will soon COM
pete with Dssry for the highest honor,
in the profession Here the Colonel
gave all the varieties OF precious metals
and stones the cue contained. AT the
close Of his remarks Mr.. Furst respond
ed, stating that he was most happy to
be the recipient Of so nice n present,
and would take grca: pride in forward
ing it, for exhibition to all Of the prin-
cipal billiard saloons on the coast"
The BIG RAILROAD THIs WINTER
Owing to past experience of the vast
difficulty in keeping the great eonti-
mental railroad open during the winter
season, where it crosses the Sierra Ne
vada, the Rocky Mountains and other
ranges, anxious inquiries are already
made on the subject, referring to the
coming winter. In reply to such inqui.
ries, II. Bronson, general freight agent
on the eastern end Of The road, writes
as follows Very many questions are
asked at this time relative to the liabil-
ity Of ;he Union and Cer;ral Pacific
Railroad to be blocked aud trains on
them delayed by snow dGriag .hs CON-
ing winter. In reply, | would state that
neither road anticipates any trouble
whatever from snow or any other cause
incident 70 the winter months in that
part Of the country precautions have
been taken 20 provide against a season
of thrice the severity Of last winter.
The real snowy season in that region
does not until about the lat
of February, aud lasts until about tho
2OtL Of March or the lst Of April. Last
winter the line was troubled in conse-
auence of the want of knowledge OF
what precise localities were most affect
ed by snow, it being the first winter.
With last winters experience, however,
the roads have been enabled TO guard
all exposed points securely against any
obstacle ;ha' may occur from the snowy
season in that part Of the country.'
