NEW FREIGHT DEPOT.-Thp Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Company are
building n large freight depot on f street,
just north of Union, says the Enterprise.
The building will be 100 feet in length by
30 in width, with a roony platform on
both sides. The ground is being graded
up TO ID street, so that teams can pass en-
tirely round the depot on perfectly level
ground. In doing this grading shafts are
sunk to the depth of Is or ~ feet. when
two or three kegs of powder are placed in
the bottom and the whole is filled up with
dirt and exploded. Sometimes three or
four such blasts are exploded at nee
shaking up the ground for a great dis
lance. About tho new depot swarms of
workmen are 10 be seen. There are car
penters, carriers, miners and all kinds of
, workmen engaged upon the work, and SO
man are the workmen employed in the
different kinds of work that they would
by themseiye constitute quite II village.
STILL BUILDING.-Peter Cavanaugh,
ST.. after haying built two new houses
during the last few weeks, mas met
with such success in renting them as
soon as they We're coinpletei, that
he has been induced to
the construction OF a third one. The
house in progress of erection is stu
ated on the same block adjoining the
others. This Improvement was much
needed, both for the looks of the
premises and the accommodation OF
those who want to rent houses. Ii the
owner Of the opposite open block fol
lows Mr.. Cavanaugh's example, he
would no doubt meet with The same
success that his neighbor did, and
would nearly fill up the empty places
IN King street. 1t is to be hoped That
we will be able to get such local items
every day, for the material IS needed
IN both cases.
