Virginia and Truckee Railroad lying
within Storey County, the work is
totally suspended and all the white men
are thrown out of job. A large num-

miners certainly have put q check upon
the construction Of that road even
though they have cut their fellow white
men out Of a steady job. 1t apparently

the chances for q steady completion of
the railroad just now are decidedly not

to Virginia, in long sombrs trains, last
evening. Their occupation, as railroad
graders, is gone. Some men tell US that
the Miners Union in their capacity as
civil labor organizations did not author

several Of our mining friends, they all
agreed that the action taken by them

BASE BALL AcKSowLspGMESTs.-We
are specially requested by the members
of the Virginia Base Ball Club, COM
posed of citizens Of Silver City, Gold
Hill and Virginia, to return their hearty
and appreciativs Acknowledgements to
the Silver Star Base Ball Club and citi-
zens of Carson, and Lisutenat Governor
Slingerland, for acceptable courtesies
extended to them on the occasion Of the
recent Base Ball match at Carson. The
boys are quite enthusiastic in their de-
scription Of the truly fraternal hospital-
tiles received by them at the hands Of
the Carsonites. They were met at the
Warm Springs in the morning, at eight
o'clock, by a committee from the Car
son Club, who had a capital breakfast
prepared for them at that popular in-
stitution. Lieutenant Governor Sling
erland, however, in order to sharpen
their appetites a little, FIRST took them
through the State Prison, which is close
at hand, showing them all the prisoners
and other arrangements, and alse
treated them to an "eye-opener" Of
crouk, etc. After doing ample and
exact Justice to the bountiful breakfast,
they rode into Carson, and prepared for
thu exercises Of the day. We had almost
forgotten to mention that when the
Carson boys first met them at the
Springs they placed n badge upon each
Of them, thus marking them as their
special guests. This badge was equal
to voting them the freedom Of the town,
for not a soul Of them was allowed to
a a cent for anything while in Carson.
Saloon, livery stable or hotel keepers,
all refused to take pay from them
they were the guests Of the Carson Club
and Of the citizens Of Carson as well.
They were lever better treated in all
their lives, and therefore feel not the
least mortified at their defeat in the
match game played, but on tho con-
trary feel that tho Carson bcys did 1t
handsomely, same as they did everything
else. They hope shortly, however, to
have them up at Virginia, and with the
aid of a light atmosphere and side hill
ground to return the compliment.
