ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.


days ago. the long-continued and Sc
we're storm, although doubtless to be
Of ultimate great benefit to the coun-
try at large, was already very detri-
mental in its imme date result. The
damages to the mills on Carson river
were great, but the railroad being also
rendered useless no ore could be trans
ported, consequently after the ore
dumps all got full nearly all the mines
had to suspend operations, thus throw
ing large numbers Of men out Of en-
ployment. AS long as Il miners are
steadily at work they can get credit ut
the stores for their requisite supplies
of provisions, clothing and other neces-
saries, but when out Of work their
credit becomes decidedly shaky. and
those whom they owe are on the look
out when any payday comes. The
Enterprise Of this morning has the fol-
lowing: Yesterday was payday ut
several Of the mines, and we may
therefore look to see half-dollars plen-
tiful for n few days. Some Of the hon.
est miners were probably somewhat
astonished, however, upon calling for
their wages at finding their coin at
tached. In one Of our Justices Courts
no less than AZ attachments were taken
out for the purpose of securing the
payment ofdetts contracted by miners.
II this sort Of thing continues the
miners will find getting in debt a bad
business.

ANOTHER DoG-FIGHr SENSATION
The same two dogs which fought each
other so ~valiantly the other day, to the
