TIE TUNSEr.-A large force Of men
are at work at both ends Of the
American Flat tunnel clearing out
the caved debris. The damage was
greater than was supposed yesterday,
none Of the timbering being saved. 1t
was all burned ont clean from II end
to the other. Young America Engine
Company, No. .. Virginia, with their
steamer, went down on a train this
morning, and have been at work to-
day throwing water In upon the
heated debris In order to cool
1t of sufficiently so that 1t a be
removed. This will be done rs soon as
possible, aud the tunnel retlmbered,
but 1t will take probably three
weeks or more. What conclusion has
been arrived at relative to running a
temporary track around the hill we
have not learned.
NAILS DELAyED.-0wing to the I'M
mense crowd on the Central Pacific
train from California last night 1t was
considerably behind time at Reno,
causing n corresponding delay In the
arrival Of the cars over the Virginia
and Truckec Railroad, the train not
arriving at Gold Hill till after s
o'clock. The obstructed American
Flat tunnel caused but little delay, rs
the passengers had merely a short dis
lance to walk across to the cars waiting
OIL this side. The mails however We're
left there and did not reach Gold Hill
until noon. Wells. Fargo & Co.'S ex-
press box came through with tho pas.
sengers. Better arrangements will
doubtless be made regarding the mail,
for that should come through at any
rate.
Prize SPELLING MATcH.-This after
noon at the Gold Hill Grammar school
two beautiful little silver bricks, pre-
ssuted by Mr.. Patrick Reyes, for the
two beat spoilers, were::coniested for
with great Interest. The successful COM
petitors were as follows: First prize,
Louis Larson; second prize, Laura
Holman. Another prize of the same
character WAS offered to the second
class, but the contest was so equal tina:
they were unable to spell each other
down, therefore they had to postpone
1t till Monday next. Mr.. Reyes has
been giving similar prizes in the public
schools Of this county for the last ten
years, and his enterprising kindness
and laudable interest In the schools
has q good effect.
