ALONG THE RAILRoAp.-A choleric
indiSposition caused us to rise yester-
day morning early enough to catch the
5 o'clock train, and we tOOk a ride to
Virginia and back with Dave McGown
and John Bartholomew. We found
Jim Hope housed at Hanson's-golnG
and coming, i. e., as we went up and
as we came back. The Morgan mill
has a heavy supply Of ore on hand in
anticipation of the shutting down OF
one of the mines within a short time
for repairs. At the dam, on the ditch
and about the Brunswick mill as was
we found about 40 men at work on
repairs. \ new and higher lam Is
being put across the river Just below
the old Brunswick dam, the capacity of
the ditch is being greatly increased,
the old mill has been torn away, and
extensive Improvements are beng
made. The river i very Ow-so low
that a person may walk across it dry
shod wherever the bed is rocky. Just
bevOnd the Santiago mill Il large
quantity of lumber has been thrown
of the cars and is now being hauled
down to the river, through winch II Is
being floated to the Eureka mill
which j. to be a 2OO-tOner. At ' lrglnIa
times are dull and money scarce. SIX
hundred and II appears TO be resting
on its laurels. The remains of Mrs.
Halleck, daughter Of Mayor Currle,
arrived from Treasure City yesterday
morning, and were inferred in Masonic
Cemetery. The railroad company is
making great improvements, i'll the
way of switches and side tracks, at
Virginia. Coming back, we took a
ride on Ba~rtholomew's old engine,
the Comstock Just out of the shop,
where she had new fues put in and
was otherwise %improved), which can
make a mile in Los and at the same
time run as smooth as a family car
rage. The only distinguished person
we met in Virginia was ALI. Doten, the
agricultural editor the Horace Gree
lev, of the Gold Hill News, who was

ing the latest improvements in thaX)
