Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1872-12-20

Page, President of the Company, we
learned from him that the grading had
been completed almost to the Condor
Mill, and would reach that point by Sat-
urday night. The rolling stock of the
road is about half here, and two-thirds
OF the rails. If good weather continues,
Gen. Page thinks the road will be COM
pleted in three weeks time. There are
~ ore cars, capable of carrying tons
each, and one passenger car, sufficient
for the accommodation of "a passengers
and the express. The track is now laid
for over miles. This is the first narrow
gauge railroad in the State, and the first
railroad of any kind in Eastern Nevada.
New CAR CoUPL1NG.-Thisa apparatus
is quite simple, and also very ingenius.
We are not sufficiently versed in me
chanics to describe it accurately, but can
say that the cars are coupled without the
danger which attends the operation in
the ordinary way, and by which many
lives are lost. While the train is under
full Roadway, any car MAJ be detached
without difficulty or danger. Several
are in use OH the Phoebe and Bullionville
Railroad.
PERsoNAL.-Mr. Guy Thorpe and wife
arrived last evening by the Hamilton
stage. Mr. Thorpe was formerly cashier
Of Wells, Fargo & Cos banking house
in Carson City. and we are informed
will act in the same capacity in Wells,
Fargo T. Cos bank in this city. We
congratulate our citizens upon the arri-
val OF Mr.. Thorpe in our midst, and
can safely recommend him as a clever
gentleman, and a thorough business
man in every particular.

Street Commissioner, s. G. Barnes, has
a force actively engaged in cleaning
Main street of the huge mass of rubbish
which has been accommodating for months.

furnish daily mail
