ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.
THosE WELLaATEs. - Three well

above the line of B street, belonging
to some of the mining companies, have
been procured by Chief Malone, Of the
Virginia Fire Department, and will be
attached to the same forthwith, to be
used In case of fire. The tanks are
those of the Chollar-Po tosi, Hale u
Norcross and Savage. Should a fire
occur in that section, the engines can
run along B street and get a full,
steady supply Of water from these
tanks; or By a suitable coupling the
hose companies might attach directly
to the wellgates, thus leading the
water for a considerable distance down
town. with a fall enabling them to
throw the water over the highest build
ings, and furnishing streams as con-
tinuous, powerful and effective as
those from u Gold Hill hydrants, no
engines being required to do the pump
inc or forcing unless the fire should be
on or above B street. We are glad to
know that those wellgates have at last
arrived and are to DO made available.
They arrived, however, two weeks
ago, but have lain at Wells, Fargo u
Co.'S, marked &c. o. D." Having
been "in soak" for two weeks, they
ought to be watertight.
RAILROAD AND STEAMBOAT. The
Reno division of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Is at last completed
through to Steamboat Springs, and the
locomotive Storey runs through to that
point with construction trains, carry
Inc material for further work, and im-
proyements at that place. The depot
and freight house, a large hotel, livery
stable, blacksmith shop, and other
buildings, are being erected as fast as
possible; in fact, quite a lively little
town Il springing up there. A branch
Of the Geiger Grade has been con-
ssructed in good style to Steamboat,
and on the first of next month IL Is
thought that passenger and freight
trains will u through to that point,
when Woodruff &c Ennor's stage line
to Virgins will connect there instead
of at Reno, as at present, A suostah-
tisl bridge Is being built across u
creek, BY the Railroad Company, also
A turn-table. The locomotive made us
irst through trip from Reno, yester-
day. 10 within a hundred yards OF the
bath-house at the Springs, and last
night was expected to get through to
the depot. This leaves but about ten
miles of stage travel between there
and Virginia.
LOOK Our FOR Your SrovzPrEs.-
At this particular season Of the year
when people are putting up stoves and
.~toyepipes for the Winter, duo atten-
tion should be paid by the proper ofi-
cers not only to see that these afore-
said s~tovepipes are put up In per
fectly safe manner, but also see ina
all the old ones are In proper saie cor
dItion, Probably not over two-thirds
of the stoyepipes throughout Virginia
and Gold Hill are carried up to a pro-
per and lawful hight above the roofs,
and this point the officers should nave
an eve to, II the proprietors have not
1t is poor economy on the part Oh any
one, trying to save the triiiing cost OF
a Joint or two Of stovepipe at the risS
of burning up a house or whole neign.
borhood. Short stovepipes also are
more than liable to prove smoky NUS
ances. Tall s~toveplpes always draw

eddying air currents, while short onei
cannot. Even caps or smoke jacks DO
not effectually prevent a short pipe
Trom being a smoky nuisance, while al
iass coat they could be carried up to a
safe and effectual hight.
