There are sadly needed at this time
more dwelling houses in Carson City.
There is not a vacant tenantable dwell
ling house in the place. Scarcely a day
passes but some one is looking for a
house, o rent, but none is to lie had. In
consequence of the pressing demand
for houses rents have materially ad-
vanced. Fully twenty-five per cent.
on the amount Invested is being real
lied in this manner, and still there
are but few buildings Of this character
being erected. Even the hotels are
filled nightly, to an extent that it fire.
Quently becomes difficult for a stranger
to find a place to roost. What will be-
come of the members Of the Legisla-
ture and lobbyists, next Winter,
everything in the shape of houses be-
ing already full9 We give up the CO.
nundrum.
SNow.-The heavy SHOWS of last
Winter that bedecked the mountains,
have dwindled and almost disappeared
under the hot Summer suns. But
little remains on the surrounding
hills, and before snow flies again the
mountains will be shOrn completely
of their coat of white. The snow has
laid on the mountain tops longer this
season than for years past, and the ag-
ricultural interests of the country have
much improved by the abundance of
water that has flowed from the noun
tain streams. Should the following
Winter prove as prolific in SHOWS and
rains as was last, agricultural pursuits
will become an tenn of much lmpor-
lance, and rich harvests will be gath
cred. Nevada is growing rapidly as
an agricultural country, and no doubt
will soon rank wit b any on the CONT
nent.

DEPOT BUILDINGs.-The Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Company intend
erecting depot building, Office, and
other houses required, at the Carson
as soon as lumber can be pro-
cured. The plans we understand, for
these structures, show immense in size
and grandeur, and will, no doubt,
meet the requirements of the business
to be transacted here, and creditable
to the company and locality. The site
selected is on the north side of the rail
road and east of Carson street.
GRADISG.-Workmen are employed
grading for the track of the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad, from the point
at which the connection was made
with the Reno Division. The main
will run in a straight line from
he connecting point, down past the
conipany's office, and will intersect
with the old track now used as the
main track at the Clear Creek switch,
Just below town.
LUMBER! acknowledgements,
our knowledge, at least, comes
he continuous cry for lumber, more
lumber. The saw mills, along the
range of the Sierras, are running
and day, and still they are un-
,ble to fill all orders for that article.
Indeed, it is quite safe to assert
hat many contemplated improve
nents will have to lay over until next
Summer, for want of lumber.
