The natural growth of this city and
Gold Hill, which has been steady for the
last eighteen months, suggested to the
owners of the Virginia and Gold Hill
Water Company the necessity of increas-
ing their amount of water in order to
supply the wants of our people. Ac-
cordingly, the services of engineers We're
called into requisition, and, after consid-
cradle time and money had been e1-
pended. a definite plan of operations
was agreed upon. The necessary guam
tity of water was found in streams and
springs in the Sierra Nevada Mountains,
about thirty miles nearly due west of
this city. In order to collect the water,
reservoir OF ten acres is to be construct
ed at the starting point, and the Streams
aud springs turned into it. If we have
an open winter it is the intention of the
company to have their entire works CON-
pleted before the spring months have
expired. If the Winter is severe, the
time of completion will naturally have to
be extended to August. The work along
the whole line is proceeding with all
possible dispatch now, and it will contin-
ue until severe weather makes il imprac-
ticable. About !, 300, 900 feet of lumber
has been delivered and II, 600 feet day
is being added to this quantity r En-

The Carson Appeal of the 9th of Oct
says: On Friday, about o'clock p. M,
Thomas Corigan, trainer of the race
horse, Plllboy, who having fixed his
horse for the night, was taking rest on
his bed in one of the race-track stables,
was suddenly aroused by man entering
the room, who using some vulgar lang
uage, suddenly approached the bed and
struck Corigah several severe blows with
a blunt instrument on the head; one
blow fractured the cheek-bone, another
severely lacerated the chin and third
fractured his skull on the left side. Corr
gan renamed insensble during the night
and bled profusely. Yesterday morning
DR.. Waters was called and is now attend
ing the patent. Corigan is in critical
condition; the blow on the skull caused
split in the skull not exactly amount
ing to complete fracture; although
sufficiently to cause doubts as to the
mans recovery. Mr.. Corigan says he
recognizes the man who struck him.
A gentleman informs us that, wilhelm
Carson City a few nights since, he Wit
messed the descent of meteor, which
struck upon the mountain west of town,
bounded into the air and exploded, seat
tering brilliant fragments in every direc-
ton. He judged from the result Of the
contact that the fiery visitor was q mets-
oric stone, and, what strongest Of all,
it descended from or through a heavy
cloud which hung above the mountain at
the time iva. Chron. "N
From persons who have just arrived 10
town from Robinson. we learn that new
miues have been discovered about one
mile from town. The ore is of a base
character, containing considerable gold.
The new strike creates considerable ex-
element, and large number of pros
pectors have gone there to make locs-
tons. INV. p. News, 3O.e goU0G
