The Enterprise, of Friday, says: We
notice at the Consolidated Virginia mine
a very simple little improvement which
is of great utility, and very great con-
venience where long and heavy cables
are used. These are reels for holding the
cable when it is hpisted out Of the shaft
to be tarred, spliesd. or for any other
purpose. This reelupon which the ca
bic is wound is fitted into stout
wooden frame, which frame stands upon
| four low and broad iron wheels. Thus,
when the cable is wound upon the reel it
can be wheeled off to wherever it is
wanted by very small expenditure of
muscle, and when painted or repaired
can be wheeled back to the shaft and
speedily wound upon the hosting reel.
Handling cables in any other way is
very heavy and ugly Job.

LAST evening, says the Virginia Chron.
icle, of Thursday, locomotive left box
car standing on the main track at Gold
Hill while it switched off to do some
yard work. On returning to pick mp the
car, the conclusion Of the train caused
the brake-chain of the detached car to
snap in two, when the car started for
Empire, without passenger or brake. A
gentleman who happened toJbe passing
the lower switch, near the high bridge,
seeing the car coming and realizing the
situation of affairs, turned the switch
and let it run into the bank, or serious
accident might have ensued.
