-
Carson IrEMs.-We extract the fol
lowing from the Register Of this morn-
ing: John Lapsic, a Canadian Scotch
man, was severely stabbed yesterday
afternoon by Oliver Perry Marble.
The difficulty occurred Mt the railroad
flume, near the foot of the mountains,
west of the city, Ii is estimated by
competent judges that the drives in
the Carson River the present season,
in wood and heavy timberS, will
amount to over 10000 cords. The
river is literally jammed with timber,
great and small .... Owing to the back
wardness OF the season the snow on
the mountains ut the head Of the val.
ley has melted very slowly this spring,
and in consequence there will be ar
abundant supply of water in the Car,
son River for milling and other pur-
poses all summer. The mills along
the river, it may therefore be antici'
pated, will enjoy a long and prosper.
Gus run .... Orrin Gray, II of the pio-
neers of the Carson Valley, died ut the
Valley Warm Springs on Tuesday last,
and was buried yesterday. Deceased
settled in Genoa in 1852, but for the
last three or four years had been en-
gagged in the livery business at Moni-
tor, Alpine County, California. lie
was highly esteemed by n large c.r;le
of acquaintance. His aye was about
fifty years.
Bridge BURSING.-rhs Ophir bridge.
which spans Washoe Lake at the town
of Ophir says the Carson Register,
was burned day before yesterday. Tho
fire took place OH the west side Of the
bridge. After some efforts the flames
were subdued. The Ophir bridge was
n magnificent structure, something less
than a mile and n half long. Piles
were driven in the lake and the bridge
double floored with three-inch plank,
except at the cast end, where the floor
ing was eight by eight timbers. The
structure was built in the palmy days
Of the Ophir Silver Mining Company,
and cost some sixty or seventy thou-
sand dollars. II was designed for n
railroad bridge and built under the
supervision OF the late Captain w. l..
Dali, Superintendent OF the Ophir
mine. Within 4 few years it was pur-
cha scd from the Ophir Company by
john ii. Dali. so, of DallS mill, Tor
less than oue-tenth of its original cost.

perity and greatness Of Ophir, and Is
to that now deserted town what the
Pyramids are to Egypt. We were un-
able to learn the cause Of the fire.
