pany with a view to bringing about
this desirable result. The directors OF
the last named company being dis
posed to accommodate the people OF
this section as far as lies In their
power, have about decided to allow
one OF their sleeping coaches to be
used OH the v. & L. Railroad. The
sleeper will not be used between Vir-
ginia City and Carson. owing to the
heavy grades and short curves on that
portion Of the road, and the conse-
quent liability to vexatious detentions
IN the event OF the sleeper getting on
the track. The sleeping coach will
leave Carson for San Francisco at the
usual hour in the evening Passengers
from Virginia City and Gold Hill can
telegraph to Carson on the day OF
their departure and secure their berths
In advance. Once enscohced In their
berths all Of the tiresome sitting up
business ut Reno will be obviated. In
returning from San Francisco passen-
gers will be enabled to get a good
nights rest. a. the train will not mr.
rive at Carson until 4 o'clock In the
morning. This arrangement Will

August. If the programme referred
to above Is carried out. the directors OF
the two companies will b. entitled to
and will receive the hearty thanks OF
the travelling public.
A QUEER KIND OF KIpNArrING.-
A Chlnaman belonging to the Ynng
wau Company. who makes his head
quarters in Virginia City, has been
engaged for some time past in stealing
China women from the See Yup Com.

theft Is rs fol ows: He swears out
n warrant for the arrest of some China
woman upon the charge Of petit LARGE.
ny. The China woman Is arrested and
required to give bonds for her appear
ance In Court IN the sum Of go. The
Chinaman himself goes security for the
woman. She leaves the Courtroom
in company with him. and Is not seen
or heard Of afterwards. Within the
past week he kidnapped n woman
In Carson aud another In Reno. Tie

rily robbed Of his companion Is incon-
solable, as he paid 1900 for her two
weeks ago. Officer Avery Of Reno.
having been apprised Of the China
mans transactions, came up to Fir.
ginia City last evening and arrested
him upon n charge OF perjury. The
matter will be thoroughly sitted. 1t Is
thought that after the Chinaman gets
possession OF the women, he sells them
again into slavery. IL appears that

system of slavery than African bond

FoRD's CAvE.-Yesterday we visited
a queer looking subterranean retreat,
which is situated a short distance east
OF Silver City. The cave Is artificial
or tunnel-shaped. and extends into the
side Of II hill some eighty or a hun
dred feet. Several years ago 1t was
occupied rs a dwelling place BY an
eccentric EnSlishmau named Ford,
and from him it takes Its name. The
cave Is divided into compartments, In
GLIDING parlor, dining-room. Kitchen
and bed room. the latter being ID i'll
nermost apartment. The pipe con-
nected with the cook-stove extended
nearly the whole length OF the cave.
Ford. who was a highly educated gem
tleman and a skilled musician. seemed
to take n great deal Of comfort in his
narrow quarters. aud used to spend
his leisure time In playing upon the
violin aud other favorits musical In
struments.
