ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

The MARROW GAUGE RAILROAD
We have seen George Hunt, the Chief
Engineer of the new style of railroad
known rs the marrow gauge" be-
tween Virginia and Reno. The pecu-
liarity of this road Is that instead Of
having 4 width of four feet eight and
one-half inches between the rails, 1t
nas only a width OF n foot eleven
inches ,the m%inimuml. or two feet ten
inches the maXimum). This IS n new
era in the history of engineering, but
though an innovation, time has shown
that i - entirely practicable. and that
the .scrk.Lg Of this style of road, Is
used al! Waic To- sae transportation Of
c"ll, IS ~ inr o economical than
the "t.oa- gIugs." ri" ~ cost Of
the road Leo 4, much .1ss. C,.i,s . the
decreased amount of gr.Glns. ..ua :'e
weight of the rails y on.y ab",' o.,
third that of the rails on the ;ra.' rail-
road. The dead weight In cars - very
materially lessened, and the wear
and tear" Of the road only amounts
one-sixth Of that on the broad S.Iu:
We shall see how It works.
LADY BRYAN STARTING UP.-The
Enterprise of this morning says: We
understand that tie , * o~"'ers OF
the Lady Bryan mine propos. lrting
both mine and mill into full worSing
operation In q few days. We are glad
to hear this, for It does actually seem
wicked that this famous and really
good mine should have been allowed
10 lie idle so long. MiSmahscement,
and consequently legal difficulties. Is
iust what has been the matter with the
Lady Bryan. The whole concern is
now in the hands Of good substantial
men, who own everything and do not
W a dollar on account o. here
Is plenty Of Of ore In the mine that
will pay from Sl7 to $50 per ton. and
We do not see any valid reason why it
should not be made to pay. The start
ing ND Of this once famous mine will
give a large number of men employ
ment, besides adding q goodly amount
TO the bullion product and wealth OF
the country. Success say we to the
new Lady Bryan Company.
The STATE CAPIToL.-The Carson
Register of this morning says that a
force of twenty-one men are now en-
gagged In giving the finishing touches
to the interior Of the new Capitol, and
the work is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. The rooms of the Governor,
Acknowledgement, Superintendent Of
Public Instruction and Surveyor-Gen-
eral have been finished, as well rs the
private offices Of the Treasurer and
Controller. The sash Of the elliptic
dome, % BY Is feet, with an elevation
of as feet above the second floor, Is In
position. and awaiting tn" rival OF
stained glass. At 20 great" elevation
from the floor. Of course the sash looks
frail, vet a heavy man walked over It
after it was placed In position: The
twelve large Diluted columns for the
norticos are nearly finished, and the
four for the portico of the west wing
will be placed In position in a few
days.
FROM OVER TIE MouSTAISs.-Hon.
James w. Coffroth, the distinguished
criminal lawyer Of California, arrived
In Virginia City this morning from
Sacramento, and intends to remain
over here for a few days, in attending
the L. S. District Court at Carson City.
He will DO In Virginia City next Sum
day-and being 4 strict church menu
Der, he is likely to join the choir OF
some one of the churches on that day.
TO meet Jim Coffroth and to shake

peach blossoms are in bloom.)
