ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.
Departures


The STREET SPRINKLER. - John
Mckinney, who has the contract for
Sprinkling the streets Of Virginia and
the Divide, tells us that the Water
Company promise him al adequate
supply of water for the purpose. He
has built a commodious tank near the
junction of b and G streets, for sup
plying his sprinkling carts, and he
keeps the dust laid from the old lmpe-
rial works, at the upper end of Gold
Hill, clear across the Divide and to the
North end OF Virginia. Main street,
Gold Hill, being also well sprinkled.
the dust is pretty essentially subdued
throughout the entire route. The
water used by Mr.. Mckinney is sup
piled from the Ophir mine, being
pumped up hill from the new shaft Of
that mine and then led along above B
street in a tlume, crossing at the june
ton Of B and c streets and passing
around to the Imperial-Empire works.
ID Is an erroneous idea with some peo-
pie that this same water goes into the
regular supply for dwellings and gen
eral public use. 1t is kept entirely in
q separate flume, and goes to supply
mills, hosting works, sprinkle the
streets. etc.
CONNECTION. - Fred Boesle. ESD,
the popular and good looking proprie-
tor of the Virginia Postotfice News
Depot, leaves for the East discovering,
having deferred his departure for two
or three days. He goes on n trip of n
couple of months to st. Louis and the
principal cities of the East, in order
10 effect more satisfactory arrange
ments for full aud regular supplies of
books, periodicals, stationery, etc.
but he informs lis that We we're wrong
in stating that he had also matrimonial
intentions. He intends marrying ex-
clusively in this country, and says any
of the anxious females East throwing
their matrimonial glances and smiles
upon him will waste their sweetness
on the desert air, or least their pearls
before swine" He is better mitout
it." and will marry oon after his
return. We cheerfully make the
necessary correction.
DRYING UP.- Owing to the too
pleasant and agreeable winter we have
lust passed through, and the consequent
scanty fall OF snow or rain, all the
springs in this section are uncommonly
low at present. Two or three wells
here in Gold Hill have already dried
I'M. and we hear considerable COM
piaint Of the short supply Of water.
The Water Company have sufficient as
vet for their customers, but how long
before their supply begins to fail Is
uncertain. All the water that can be
scared I'D from any source will be In
demand this season. We hear OF no
extra degree Of sickness prevailing,
either in Virginia or Gold Hill, as yet,
and hove we shall not. although It Is
10 be feared. On the contrary, the
general health never was better than
ut the present time. Lord, SEM us
rain.
New DuMr.-rhe new dump for the
south Yellow Jacket mine IS COM
Melted. 1t is large, substantial and
.ommodious. holding about 800 tons
of ore. and is built in Crown Point
Kayine. close beside the lower Gold
Hill branch of the Virginia and
Trn,kee Railroad, so that a dozen ore
carr Fan be loaded in fifteen minutes
time. by reason Of tEs facilities and
conysniences for loading. By means
of a lofty tresile work and car track,
the ore cars from the south Yellow
