a new switch or branch of the Virgins
and Truckee Railroad, at the Virginia
terminus, Is fast approaching compile
ton. 1t commences at or near the
depot, and passes just above the Gould
s. Curry dump, the Savage hoistlne
works. and terminates just above the
Hale & NorcroSs works, being about a
quarter Of u mile in length. Quite q
number of small dwellings, cabins,
etc., had to he removed In order to
allow OF this branch road, and II cut
or excavation north of the Savage
works has to be about sixteen feet
deep. This new switch or branch Is
made principally IN order to supply
the mines mentioned with wood, tim.
her, etc, more conveniently than can
ut present be done. The branch could
he extended to the Chollar-P otoSi, or
further. If required, and will be found
Il very advantageous arrangement.
MINING AccrpEST.-Yesterday after
noon, about l o'clock, says the Enter
prise, Thomas Thomas, q miner work
ing in the Ophir shaft, was pretty
badly hurt by a cage being accidentally
lowered upon him while he was ut
work in the bottom of n compartment
Of the shaft. The weight OF the cage
crushed him to the ground and injured
him In the region Of tho kidneys.
There were two workmen In the shaft,
who rang the bell for the cage to be
hoisted "a soon rs they saw what had
happened. Had Mr.. Thomas been
alone he would doubtless have died
under the crushing weight Of the heavy
iron cage. The injured man Is under
the care Of DR.. Hopkins, and in due
time will be able to return to his place
in the mine.
PRIZE WINNER The $4,000 prize
In the Sacramento lottery is positively
stated to be won by q man about Dall's
mill, Washoe Valley. Jake Young'i
brother John, at Virginia, won $1,000,
and We hear of several about the city
who won $50 or 800. Asaloon keeper
on the Divide won 500. Here IN
Gold Hill we know Of Que 800 prizt
ami a few $50 ones. As to those UNI
fortunate ticket holders who are still
looking and longing without any sat
isfaction rs YET, we will say there II
still hope. The returns thus far pub
lished only embrace those prizes above
$50. There are yet l,l50 prizes to b.
heard from: 800 of $50 each and S5(
of $40. Even to win a $50 is bettel
than nothing. Hope OH till after the
full "oiicial list" Is published.
DIRT SMNGERs.-The writing mer
Of the Enterprise and Carson Regfsts'
have gotto indulging in a fearful strins
of personalities during the last few
DAYS, singing mud at n fearful rate
and daubing each other to such {
filthy degree rs to DC past recognition
by their best friends. Few evc'
dreamed that creatures Of such horri
bic degree of moral turpitudc rs they
portray existed in this section Of thu
country, and suggests the idea that thu
Vigilance Committee have not finished
| their work yet. Regarding both II
richteout horror, we feel like exclaim
ing: "Thank God, We are not rs othel
men."
