FIRST TuRoUGu TRAIN FROM CARSON.
The first through train over the Vir-
ginia and Truckee Railroad from Car
son since a week ago last Monday ar
rived at Gold Hill at ll:45 A. NJ. to-day,
having left Carson at S:l2 A. NJ. 1t
consisted OF three car loads of wood.
and n cabooSe car, bringing IS bars Of
bullion from the Mint, also Superin-
tendent Yerington. The locomotive
Ormsby drew the train and Harry
Shrieves was conductor. The road Is
by no means In tirstrate order yet, but
will be again In u few days unless
there should be u set back in the way
of another bad storm. lt is evidently
passable, however, and this train made
very good time considering. Plenty
Of men are Mt work repairing the
damaged places, and when completed
the road will be flrmer and better than
over before. As fast rs practicable
other trains will be started over the
road both ways, taking down ore and
bringing up wood, which is much
needed by some Of the mining COM
panies. Two loads Of the wood
brought up this forenoon was for the
Crown Point Company and the other
for the Belcher. Regular passenger
trains and schedule time will BE- the
order very shortly, but most important
OF all, just at present, are tho running
of the ore and wood trains. We are
well pleased to record the reopsning
of this road.

frst-rate vaccine matter, and IS racci-
mating all who desire it.
