QUARTERLY BULLION SHIPMENT
Tho amount Of bullion from the Com
stock range that vas shipped through
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express during
the last three months was as follows :
January, 1853 bars, weighing 1889
pounds valued at 1914, $50 %; Feb
ruary 476 bars. Weighing 1901 pounds,
valued at $954.1l1 IS; March. 500
bars, Weighing 39,024 pounds, valued
ut 81, O66, 247 20. Total for the quarter
1,453 bars, weighing lll,02i pounds,o or
IS tons 5l2 pounds, worth $2,93l.-
5S 30. The Enterprise says: By
looking over the returns for the past
three months 1t will be seen that there
Ia a steady increase In the number Of
bars and weight thereof, and also a
corresponding gradual Increase in the
value. This proves that the yield for
the past month Of over n million
was not owing to the accident Of ores
Of an unusually rich character having
been worked, but rather to more ore Of
the same quality having been worked
as water became plentiful and mill
after mill started up. The yield for
the present month will probably be
nearly twice that of the last, rs several
large new mills have lately started up.
and preparations are being made to
extract unusually large quantities Of
ore in some of the leading mines-be-
sides considerable quantities of low
grade ore are now being extracted
from what arc known as outside mines.
NEW STYLE OF DUMr CAR.-The ore
train for Carson from Gold Hill, at 3
O'Clock I. NJ. to-day, contained n car
of an entirely new and peculiar pat
tern, constructed at the workshop of
the Railroad Company ut Virginia. 1t
was made for an experiment, and
should work we'll. If 1t does, this style
will be more fully adopted. 1t is SIM
ply an iron dump ore a combined
with a wooden fiat, or In other words,
the body Of an ore car Is let into the
center Of a wooden flat, such as 10 used
for the transportation Of wood and
timber from Carson. 1t Is firmly Sc
cured In its position by heavy iron work
and Its sides projecting about two feet
above the surface OF the flat, are
made to fold inwardly, so as to leave
a level surface when required. Thus
Il goes down to the mills on Carson
river, with q full load Of ore, which
being unloaded or dumped, rs usual,
through the trap doors at the bot
tom. the sides are folded ~ipwardly,
and the car goes back to Gold Hill or
Virginia with q full load OF wood.
This new arrangement Is Intended to
obyiate tho hauling Of empty cars
either way. The Idea is a decidedly
ingenious one, and originated with
the mechanical management OF the
road-another Washoe invention.

A CAR on THE "LoosE Evening
before last, about ] o'clock, says the
Enterprise. the cable used In the Savage

The ton. allowing It to find Its way to
the bottom. 1t rushed down at ter
riao rate Of speed, and when near the
bottom jumped the track and knocked
ont TWO or three sets Of timbers, smash
