Tryyr1. CosNKcrsp.-Tbe tunnel on

TUNNEL CoNNEcTED.-The tunnel on
the northern extension of the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad. says the Enter
prise, was so far completed yesterday
afternoon about 2 o'clock that the
workmen coming from the north and
south met and an opening between the
two sections Of the tunnel was made.
Instantly there was a grand scramble
to pass through-the workmea OH the
south wishing to pass through to the
northward, and those OIL the north
side desiring to 60 to the southwark,
and all wishing 70 be the first to pas
through the opening. By next Satur-
day the tunnel will be fully completed
and timbered. The timbering Of the
| tunnel Is most substantial and pecu-
liar. At the top It Is arched, and tho
timbers are put together in q way that
cannot be described without the aid Of
drawings. Engineers who have
amined the work say that there Is not
such another piece of timbering to be
found in the United States. The two
sections Of the tunnel met under E
street, about opposite to the Catholic
Church. The rock In which they are
working Is not so hard that 1t requirts
to be blasted-picks do the work very
we'll. Owing TO the carefulness Of the
engineer In charge, Mr.. James, the
two sections OF the tunnel came exactly
together, there not being the variation
OF half an inch. The tunnel Is worthy
Of q visit from those who have time Or
the inclination to walk through it.
COOP AcoCIsIrIoN.-The Trustees Of
the public school at Carson are very
fortunate In securing the services Of
Mr.. H.. II. Howe, az Principal. Mr..
Howe was. a year or two ago, Princi-
pal Of the Gold Hill Grammar School,
and as such rendered such universal
satisfaction, that both parents as well
Us scholars very much regretted his de-
parture. Since then he has been Prin-
cipal OF the Sacramento public schools.
The Carson Register justly says Of
him He Is not only a thoroughly
competent teacher, but he Is OF that
peculiar disposition that parents and
children cannot fail to become warmly
attached to as a teacher. His habits are
unexceptional, devoting his entire
time to the good Of the AUST In which
he Is engaged. The writer has had
ample Opportunity Of becoming thor
oughly familiar with Mr.. Howe rs a
teacher, and in justice to him feels n
ranted In saying that no more fitting
person for Principal Of u public
school could have been found within
the lenght and breadth Of these United
States. Personally, we feel grateful
to the Trustees for their very julicious
employment Of the gentleman named.
HIGHWAY RoBDERy.-Last evening
at about halfpast 10 o'clock, says the
Enterprise. n miner residing In God
Hill, while on his way to Virginia
was stopped on the Divide, In the VI
cinity Of the Pioneer Boiler;w orks, by
two ME who demanded Ills money,
at the same time presenting six-shoo T.
ers rs "persuaders." He held UP his
hands aud they went through him In
the pockets of his pa%ntaloons they
found $50, which they took charge OF,
but missed another twenty which he
carried in his vest pocket. After be-
ing robbed, the mai came into the
city and informed the police Of what
had occurred. Chief Kelly sent otli-
GERS In search OF the thieves; one Is
described as being a tall man, the 9TH
er short and thicE-set. The victim of
the robbery says that he yie lded very
gracefully to the opportunities Of the
foot-padS. Up TO the hour Of going to
press they had not been oyerhauled.
